400: Chapter 208: Can’t Rely on Ancient Gods_4 400: Chapter 208: Can’t Rely on Ancient Gods_4 “You monkey, your strength has increased rather swiftly; how long has it been since you’ve reached this step?” When Sun Wukong first entered the realm of the Heavenly Venerate, he did not possess such strength. Now, even when facing top-tier Great Heavenly Venerates, once he seizes the opportunity, Sun Wukong has a significant chance of defeating them. This kind of progress is truly startling. “In the past within the Three Realms, I only paid attention to Yang Jian, thinking that he might surpass the average Great Heavenly Venerate, reaching an extremely high realm, even equal to us. Later, Wukong, you caught my eye, and I feel that your future achievements will be stronger than Yang Jian’s, perhaps even surpassing ours.” Queen Mother of the West sighed, genuinely recognizing Sun Wukong’s abilities. Sun Wukong gave a faint smile and said, “Thank you for the praise, Queen Mother of the West; Wukong is unworthy.” The Queen Mother of the West smiled gently and said, “I know you still hold a grudge in your heart. How about I give you twenty peaches of immortality as a token of peace?” “Your Highness is truly the foremost goddess in this world, a paragon of wisdom and beauty, peerless and without equal.” Sun Wukong immediately changed his tune, saying with a smile. The Queen Mother of the West gave Sun Wukong a look and, with a mix of laughter and helplessness, said, “You monkey, you don’t hunt without seeing the rabbit; without securing a benefit, you’re not prepared to show me any good will.” “How could that be? Even if Your Highness gives me nothing, Wukong would have no complaints,” Sun Wukong said, patting his chest. The Queen Mother of the West said indifferently, “Well then, it seems I can save twenty peaches of immortality.” “Farewell.” Sun Wukong turned to leave. In his heart, without any benefit, there was nothing to discuss. The Queen Mother of the West smiled and said softly, “What brings you to me today? Don’t you want to discuss your matters anymore?” Sun Wukong was not surprised in the slightest; the eyes of such ancient gods see everything. Having lived since the Creation of Heaven and Earth, she had experienced too much. If she could not see through Sun Wukong’s simple intentions, she would not be worthy of being called the Queen Mother of the West. Sun Wukong sat back down, his expression solemn, and said firmly, “I indeed have matters to discuss with Your Highness.” “You want to move against Houtu?” The Queen Mother of the West asked. Sun Wukong was taken aback; this was indeed his intention, yet he did not expect the Queen Mother of the West to guess it. He was curious how the Queen Mother of the West could have guessed it. Before he had said anything, she had already taken the initiative to speak. With a faint smile and a flash of Wisdom Light in her eyes, the Queen Mother of the West said, “If I couldn’t see through even this much, I would not be the Queen Mother of the West. Among the matters in the heavens and on earth worth discussing with you and me, Houtu is a female Immortal, and I am the leader of the female Immortals of the Three Realms. So, the main reason you come to consult with me is that you want to ally with me against the Jade Emperor.” Sun Wukong’s body stiffened for a moment, then relaxed. Extending a thumbs up to the Queen Mother of the West, Sun Wukong was truly impressed. He had nothing more to say; the Queen Mother of the West had already said everything he intended to. The Queen Mother of the West gazed at Sun Wukong, her Phoenix Eyes brimming with Divine Light, looking directly at him. “Have you truly made up your mind to make a move against the Jade Emperor? You must know that even I am not his match, and even if I joined forces with you against the Jade Emperor, it is not certain that we could defeat him.” Saying this, the Queen Mother of the West spoke gravely, “Keeping Houtu alive is to prevent the Jade Emperor from going mad. If you kill Houtu, the Jade Emperor might do something drastic. I advise you not to do so.” “If we do not kill Houtu, the harm the Jade Emperor could do to the Three Realms with her power, or under her cover, is too great,” Sun Wukong said gravely. He had always been worried that the Jade Emperor would succeed in bringing the Ancient Gods from beyond the heavens, Regardless of whether the Jade Emperor had the strength to destroy those Ancient Gods, even if he did, by that time the Living Beings of the Three Realms would mostly be dead. The return of the Ancient Gods, carrying their resentment, would bring about what kind of consequences one could imagine without much thought. In any case, some Living Beings would surely suffer, and that was inevitable. Then there would be the continuous great battles; the Living Beings of this world might not even have one-tenth left in the end. The Queen Mother of the West looked at Sun Wukong and said with a bitter smile, “I know what you are thinking, and I can tell you that the return of the Ancient Gods has become an inevitability, and no one can stop it, not even by killing the Jade Emperor. All I can say is the Three Realms should try to preserve their strength, unite, and when the Ancient Gods return, we may be able to suppress them, or at least have enough strength to make them wary, to reign in their whims. That’s all.” “So pessimistic? Is there no other way or method for them to return?” Sun Wukong raised an eyebrow. “There should be, but the time has not yet come. One of the best methods for them is through diminishing the power of the Great Dao of Living Beings, which is also the best method for them. If this method doesn’t work, they have other ways.” The Queen Mother of the West sighed. Sun Wukong furrowed his brow and couldn’t help asking, “What methods do they have, exactly? Please enlighten me, Queen Mother of the West.” “A very brutal method, one that is not beneficial to the Three Realms. Even if I told you, you wouldn’t be able to stop it, so knowing or not knowing makes no difference,” The Queen Mother of the West said with a smile yet revealed no more. Sun Wukong rolled his eyes and said gravely, “Does this mean Your Highness will not take action?” “Why not take action?” The Queen Mother of the West countered. Sun Wukong was slightly taken aback; he was confused. The implication of the Queen Mother of the West just now clearly seemed to be in favor of inaction.
