402: Chapter 208 Unreliable Ancient Gods_6 402: Chapter 208 Unreliable Ancient Gods_6 Queen Mother of the West whispered a few words into White Tiger’s ear, suddenly making White Tiger’s eyes light up. She excitedly clenched her little fists, saying, “Queen Mother, rest assured, I can definitely do it.” Bluebird was puzzled, wondering what exactly the Queen Mother had said to White Tiger to make her so excited. She asked White Tiger, who gave a mysterious smile and then said, “The Queen Mother said I can’t tell you, you might spoil things.” Bluebird: “...” Was she not trusted? ... Sun Wukong furrowed his brows, taking two women and flying directly towards the Heavenly Court. “Great Saint, did it fall through? Or was it a success?” Nu Ba asked. Sun Wukong shook his head and said, “It fell through, the Queen Mother of the West does not agree to make a move against the Jade Emperor.” The two women were shocked; they had not expected such an outcome. “So what now? We just do nothing?” Nu Ba slightly furrowed her brow, thinking that killing the Jade Emperor could eliminate many troubles. But unexpectedly, the Queen Mother of the West did not agree. And with the strength they currently possessed, without the help of these Ancient Gods, exterminating the Jade Emperor was nearly impossible. Even if they could do it, there was no telling how many would die. So, as long as the Queen Mother of the West did not agree, it was very difficult to make a move against the Jade Emperor. “Could it be that the Queen Mother of the West and the others still have expectations for the Jade Emperor? Wanting to wait for the Jade Emperor to take the throne?” Nu Ba speculated. But Sun Wukong shook his head and said, “That’s definitely not the reason, don’t guess wildly. From now on, we can’t rely on these Ancient Gods anymore; they are unreliable.” “Why?” Lady Dragon of Wealth asked. In her view, those Ancient Gods were not bad. For instance, the Queen Mother of the West, as the foremost among female Immortals, was amiable and had even gifted Sun Wukong so many peaches of immortality. Sun Wukong sneered, saying, “These so-called Ancient Gods, all they talk about is the great cosmic order, but they have never truly cared about the living beings of the earth; as long as the Three Realms exist, they simply don’t care whether living beings live or die.” Nu Ba and the other understood; this was the nature of the Ancient Gods. Their long lives had made them indifferent to all living beings besides themselves. This was also why the Queen Mother of the West did not agree with Sun Wukong’s methods and was unwilling to help. Sun Wukong understood it at once, so he didn’t press the issue. The iron must be hard itself; it seemed he could no longer depend on these Ancient Gods. To protect the living beings of the Three Realms, to prevent people close to him from being harmed by chaos, what Sun Wukong needed to do was to enhance himself, to block all danger with his own strength. If he had the strength of The Three Pure Ones, why would he even need to borrow the power of others? “Ancient Gods, after all, are Ancient Gods; they possess ample Daoist Nature but lack humanity. They see the great cosmic order, but deem all other living beings as mere ants. Perhaps only after becoming a Heavenly Venerate do they consider one a real living being; all others might as well be discarded,” Nu Ba lamented. She had encountered ancient gods before, but they always seemed devoid of any emotions to her. “All that talk about Daoist Nature and humanity, they just revel in their superiority. In any case, even if there is trouble, it’s unlikely to affect them unless they are mired in the same muck; otherwise, don’t expect them to care about the common people.” Sun Wukong’s view was entirely different. In his opinion, those people were just accustomed to being on their high pedestal. “Sooner or later, I’ll have to take them down, teach them a good lesson, and show them what it means to respect life.” Sun Wukong gritted his teeth as he spoke. It was somewhat ironic indeed; if people knew that Sun Wukong, who called himself a demon, respected life more than those so-called immortals, it would be such an ironic situation. Nu Ba and Lady Dragon of Wealth looked at each other, both noticing the amusement in each other’s eyes. It seemed that this time the Great Saint was really infuriated, otherwise, he wouldn’t have said what he had just said. They entered the Heavenly Court, going straight into the living quarters of the Great Emperor Ziwei. The Great Emperor Ziwei was not resting but was reading a scroll. Upon seeing Sun Wukong bringing the two ladies directly inside, he couldn’t help but cry and laugh, giving Sun Wukong a stern look, he said, “You guy, can’t you give me a heads up before you come in? What if I were changing clothes?” Sun Wukong gave the Great Emperor Ziwei an unamused look and said gruffly, “We’re all men here, what’s there to be afraid of?” “They are women, though.” The Great Emperor Ziwei pointed at Nu Ba and the other lady. Rolling his eyes, Sun Wukong said testily, “Don’t worry, they’re not interested in you. Those two pieces of flesh on your body are even less appealing than my younger brother Tianpeng; he’s more of a sight than you.” The Great Emperor Ziwei pointed at Sun Wukong, his hand trembling slightly, wondering if this was really how you talk about someone. Nu Ba and Lady Dragon of Wealth snickered on the side; the relationship between these two was indeed very close—they could say anything without getting angry. After a couple of jokes, they got down to business. Sun Wukong recounted what had happened in Kunlun, a sharp light flickered in Ziwei’s eyes. “If it had been before, my thoughts would have been like those of the Queen Mother of the West, focusing on the grand scheme of nature.” Hearing the words of the Great Emperor Ziwei, Sun Wukong’s expression suddenly changed. The Great Emperor Ziwei urged him to calm down, then said, “But now, I support your view. I was crowned the Supreme of the Three Realms by the common people; if I don’t work for the good of all living beings, I have no right to be the Great Heavenly Venerate.” “Unfortunately, you and I are not powerful enough to protect these people.” Sun Wukong said with a bitter smile. The Great Emperor Ziwei fell silent, feeling quite annoyed, yet unable to refute. This was a fact and naturally irrefutable. The Ziwei Heavenly Court seemed powerful today but paled in comparison to the Heavenly Court of the Jade Emperor. Not to mention the number of masters, just in terms of top-level powerhouses, they were no match for the Jade Emperor. The power of the Jade Emperor alone was worth at least two or three Great Emperor Ziweis. Without the help of ancient gods, their hope of defeating the Jade Emperor was almost impossible. “If the Queen Mother of the West isn’t willing to make a move, The Three Pure Ones definitely won’t step in either. These ancient gods are unreliable; we have to rely on ourselves.” The Great Emperor Ziwei sighed, sharing the same sentiments as Sun Wukong. Nu Ba and Lady Dragon of Wealth exchanged glances, both seeing the amusement in each other’s eyes. These two friends were indeed well-matched; even their thoughts were identical.
