Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

The Heavenly Dao Sect ultimately decided to first release the news, gathering the heads of all major powers in the Yuan Realm to the Heavenly Dao Sect to discuss how to respond. After reaching a conclusion, they would dispatch troops to attack the Primordial Spirit Sect.

Sun Wukong argued reasonably against this decision for a while, but it was of no use. The Sect Master of the Heavenly Dao Sect and the others simply wouldn't listen to him!

"Discuss all you want. I, Old Sun, won't accompany you!"

With that, Sun Wukong left the Heavenly Dao Sect without looking back. These fellows were just too disappointing!

The enemy was already working on opening the Dimensional Gate, and after confirming this news, the Heavenly Dao Sect, Blood God Sect, and Myriad Ghost City were more focused on spreading the news and calling a conference of major powers than on figuring out how to stop it. How much time would that waste?

By the time they reached a consensus, the situation would be hopeless!

By then, once the Dimensional Gate opens and the strong from Han Hai Realm's Cangqiong Immortal Palace descend, the collective strength of the Yuan Realm might not even be enough to match theirs. The strength gap caused by dimensional differences cannot be bridged by numbers alone!

Gathering all the experts from major powers in the Yuan Realm at once would just give the enemy a chance for a clean sweep, saving the effort of conquering each part of the Yuan Realm individually.

In Sun Wukong's view, the decisions of the Heavenly Dao Sect, Blood God Sect, and Myriad Ghost City were akin to digging their graves!

Had he known, he wouldn't have bothered to rescue the Great Elder of the Heavenly Dao Sect and others before, which only gave Sect Master Mu Yin of the Primordial Spirit Sect a sense of urgency. By now, he's likely racing against time to open the Dimensional Gate!

It's beyond control; these major sects and powers are led by fools. Instead of acting preemptively, they weigh honor and disgrace and balance pros and cons. Sun Wukong is utterly disappointed with them and wants nothing more to do with them.

Given the current strength of the Demon Court, it doesn't have the capability to attack the Primordial Spirit Sect to stop Mu Yin from opening the Dimensional Gate. As the saying goes, contribute to the world when you can, preserve yourself when you can't. If it can't be stopped, then don't get involved!

Sun Wukong has done everything he could, with a clear conscience. How things develop next is beyond his control.

What Sun Wukong can do is return immediately to the Heavenly Que Realm, temporarily isolating the Heavenly Que Realm from the Yuan Realm, focusing on developing the Demon Court without being swayed by external chaos, ensuring that within the Demon Court remains a pure land where its followers aren't affected by the external world.

When things settle down outside and the Demon Court has enough Domain Saint Realm experts, they can step out to assess the situation.

Sun Wukong believes that the Dimensional Gate couldn't last indefinitely, and the strong in the Yuan Realm wouldn't indefinitely accept being enslaved. Once everyone realizes this, he will step up to lead the resistance, harnessing a power that will exceed today's tenfold, a hundredfold!

Within the Heavenly Que Realm, aside from Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor, Pangu, and Demon Ancestor Lou Hu, no one noticed Sun Wukong leaving the Heavenly Que Realm.

This retreat wouldn't be completed in a short time. Besides, the abundant Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in the Heavenly Que Realm far surpasses that of the Yuan Realm, the resources are plentiful, and there are ample sparring partners, making no one even think about leaving the Heavenly Que Realm.

Especially Zi Xia Fairy and others who just ascended from the Three Realms, feeling that cultivating in the Heavenly Que Realm, their cultivation improved at a tremendous pace, leaving no leisure to think about leaving, each closing themselves off in cultivation aiming to catch up with the first tier of experts.

"Wukong, has something happened in the Yuan Realm?"

In the hall before the Heavenly Emperor's throne, upon seeing Sun Wukong return from the external realm with a not-so-good expression, Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and the others felt an immediate "thud" in their hearts.

"Don't mention it! Just talking about it makes me, Old Sun, furious!"

Sun Wukong, somewhat frustrated, waved his arm. Although he made up his mind to recuperate in the Heavenly Que Realm, it left him feeling somewhat stifled.

After all, calling it recuperation and development sounds nice, but harshly speaking, it's just taking refuge in the Heavenly Que Realm.

"What exactly happened? Speak out; it's better to share with everyone than keep it bottled inside!"

Under the repeated inquiry of Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and the others, Sun Wukong, feeling suffocated, simply spilled everything like beans from a bamboo tube.

"A higher-dimensional world, Han Hai Realm…"

After hearing Sun Wukong's account, Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and others were bewildered. They thought the Yuan Realm was the highest level world, not expecting even higher-level dimensional worlds above it.

"Once the Dimensional Gate opens and the strong from Han Hai Realm descend, the Yuan Realm might have no ability to resist—with its quick collapse ensuing!"

Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor's brow furrowed. When he first ascended from the Three Realms, seeing the abundance of experts in the Yuan Realm was a stark contrast that left a lasting impression.

And until now, no one in the entire Demon Court has reached the Domain Saint Realm, let alone the peak. Imagining the Divine Envoys from Cangqiong Immortal Palace from the higher-dimensional Han Hai Realm must possess cultivation strength far exceeding the Domain Saint Realm; the Yuan Realm's Domain Saint Realm experts might be to them what the Primordial Taiji Da Luo Gold Immortal is in the Yuan Realm.

In such circumstances, once the Dimensional Gate opens and connects the Two Realms, it spells complete disaster for the Yuan Realm, a disaster of unavoidable enslavement!

"Daoist Ancestor, what you mentioned is no surprise to me, Old Sun. But what can be done now?"

Sun Wukong sighed with a helpless smile. "What needed to be said was clearly stated in the Heavenly Dao Sect, but those old leaders at the Heavenly Dao Sect, Blood God Sect, and Myriad Ghost City first considered convening a discussion to distribute the pressure rather than immediately preventing the Dimensional Gate's opening."

"By the time they reach a decision, it will be too late! I, Old Sun, don't wish to wait for death with them! We the Demon Court have the Heavenly Que Realm, separate from the Yuan Realm for recuperation. There's no need to concern ourselves with the Yuan Realm. Let's focus on ourselves first! Once the strength of our Demon Court siblings grows, saving the Yuan Realm isn't too late!"

Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and the others fell silent at his words, feeling unwilling yet having to admit Sun Wukong's suggestion is the only feasible way now!
