197: Chapter 173: Joining Forces with the Human Race_6 197: Chapter 173: Joining Forces with the Human Race_6 Seeing that no one paid him any attention, Ge Xuan became even more infuriated. “A bunch of opportunistic scoundrels, right now, this Heavenly Master is merely a hidden dragon in the abyss, momentarily fallen into a low ebb. Just wait until the time comes for this Heavenly Master to be a soaring dragon in the sky—I’d like to see then what your faces would look like.” With this thought in his mind, Ge Xuan turned around and strutted away proudly. Watching his departing figure, everyone felt a bit puzzled He had been ignored to the point of irrelevance, how could he still have such a positive perception? Truly baffling. Seeing the officials depart, Great Emperor Ziwei then laughed and said, “Wukong, your visit must certainly bring good news, doesn’t it?” The nature of Sun Wukong was something Great Emperor Ziwei understood very well. If there were no matters to discuss, he would definitely not seek him out. As long as he came to visit, it invariably meant there was something to be discussed. Usually, when Sun Wukong had a solemn expression, it was definite that there was no good news. But today, Sun Wukong’s face bore a hint of a smile, and it was rare he didn’t personally discipline Master Ge. Obviously, he was in a good mood, having chosen not to bother with Master Ge. Sun Wukong smiled faintly and said, “Indeed, there is good news. Can Your Majesty guess what it is?” After pondering for a while, Great Emperor Ziwei then seriously ventured, “I guess that the Jade Emperor is dead, Tathagata has gone mad, Gou Chen has become deranged with obsession, Houtu has undergone reincarnation, and now everyone is convinced that I am the Great Heavenly Venerate.” Cough cough. Sun Wukong almost choked on his saliva. He looked at Great Emperor Ziwei as if he were looking at an idiot. How could the other party be so optimistic? Sun Wukong turned solemnly to Gold Star Taibai and asked, “How long has the Great Emperor been showing these symptoms? Has it been getting progressively worse? You need to be cautious. The violent tendencies of madmen can be quite strong.” The corner of Gold Star Taibai’s mouth twitched. Hearing Sun Wukong mock Great Emperor Ziwei, he almost burst into laughter. But indeed, the words of Great Emperor Ziwei just then did sound like those of a madman. A normal person wouldn’t say such things. These were not words Taibai dared to utter. Sun Wukong might act as he pleased, but he could not afford to joke about Great Emperor Ziwei. There are distinctions between sovereign and ministers. Even with close relations, one must maintain proper decorum. “Great Saint, His Majesty was simply overjoyed to see you, hence he was joking with you. His Majesty is not mad.” Gold Star Taibai earnestly explained. Sun Wukong looked at Great Emperor Ziwei suspiciously, observing him for quite some time, before he finally nodded and stated, “That may be true. He’s usually like a madman anyway, spouting nonsense. Considering he could utter such words just now, it’s actually rather normal.” Sun Wukong purposefully mocked Great Emperor Ziwei. Great Emperor Ziwei glared at Sun Wukong irritably. Finally, he couldn’t help but speak up, “Alright, just tell me what the good news is, exactly.” Sun Wukong said carelessly, “What if you’re about to become the Great Heavenly Venerate; would that count as good news?” “What? What exactly is going on?” Great Emperor Ziwei was taken aback. His gaze fixed on Sun Wukong, knowing that he must have done something remarkable. Sun Wukong then shared his plan. A surge of excitement flashed in the eyes of Great Emperor Ziwei. How had he never thought of this? The Human Race was the protagonist of heaven and earth, and with Immortals from the Human Race being so numerous, If the Human Race acknowledged him as the Great Heavenly Venerate, he could then call himself the Great Heavenly Venerate and take up residence in Ling Xiao Palace. Sun Wukong’s action was simply too splendid. Gold Star Taibai, somewhat concerned, inquired, “Great Saint, have you considered that if Great Emperor Ziwei declares himself Great Heavenly Venerate, he will surely face opposition from the other Four Heavenly Kings, and even the Jade Emperor might take action against Great Emperor Ziwei? Suddenly, Great Emperor Ziwei would become the target of all.” Great Emperor Ziwei snapped back to reality. Alone, he definitely could not withstand the combined onslaught of the other three. Not to mention the possibility of the Jade Emperor taking action; he was even less of a match then. Sun Wukong smiled faintly and stated, “Indeed, one Great Emperor Ziwei could not withstand the joint hands of the other three. But what if I join him?” “Still not enough.” Gold Star Taibai shook his head. This was easily deduced. No matter how strong Sun Wukong was, he could not be mightier than the Four Heavenly Kings. At most, he could fend off one of them. Sun Wukong understood this as well. He smiled faintly and explained, “That’s exactly why we should confer the title Lord of the Buddhist Realm upon Amitabha Buddha. He too can repel one Great Heavenly Venerate.” “And if the Jade Emperor takes action, what then?” Gold Star Taibai asked. Sun Wukong cheerfully responded, “I can also call upon Immortal Master Erlang, Ying Hook of the Netherworld, my sworn brother Zhenyuan, as well as The Bodhisattva Guanyin from the South Sea. Together with the Yellow Emperor and Chi Di, do you think our strength is inferior to theirs?” “It’s still slightly weaker, but they are unlikely to join forces so completely against us.” After a moment of contemplation, Gold Star Taibai finally said. With such power, they actually had a significant chance of resisting the attacks from the Jade Emperor and his forces. Gold Star Taibai resolutely added, “Actually, my greatest concern is the Jade Emperor. His strength is too formidable; he can withstand the Four Heavenly Kings joining forces and even suppress them. If he personally intervenes, what shall we do?” Sun Wukong’s expression also grew somber. He knew the Jade Emperor was extremely powerful, especially surrounded by a group of skilled individuals he had personally trained. If the Jade Emperor truly acted without restraint and intervened personally, it would indeed be difficult to stop him. It was then that Marshal Tianpeng spoke up, “The Jade Emperor probably dares not make a move. Once he reveals himself, his plan would fail. Therefore, at most, he can only deploy some of his underlings to join the battle.” “Tianpeng, how do you know this?” Gold Star Taibai’s heart stirred, looking at Marshal Tianpeng with a hint of surprise. Marshal Tianpeng smiled slightly and said, “I follow my teacher, and he has told me a great deal. However, I cannot reveal it to you. My teacher said that this is a tribulation for the Three Realms that the living beings themselves must transcend. He hopes that Great Emperor Ziwei will become the Great Heavenly Venerate and take control of the Three Realms, but he himself will not intervene.” Everyone was invigorated by Marshal Tianpeng’s words. With such assurance, what was there to worry about? Great Emperor Ziwei was all the more elated, proclaiming, “That’s just perfect. Then I shall prepare to take up my residence in Ling Xiao Palace.”
