423: Chapter 213: The Transformation of Shao Siming 423: Chapter 213: The Transformation of Shao Siming Everyone’s pupils contracted as they watched Lord Donghua leave, all feeling a heavy weight in their hearts.
Was this the power of an Ancient God?
Terrifyingly strong.
Sun Wukong’s tactics were astonishing; even the Four Heavenly Kings would need to exert some effort to break through the restrictions he had set up.
But, for Lord Donghua, it was as if those restrictions didn’t exist; he entered as he pleased.
To put it nicely, Lord Donghua was there to request that Sun Wukong spare Queen Mother of the West in the future.
To phrase it less nicely, the visitor was simply showing off his martial prowess.
Lord Donghua demonstrated his strength to Sun Wukong, showing that he was so powerful that he could disregard Wukong’s tactics completely.
If Sun Wukong did not agree to his request, he would have to consider Lord Donghua’s power.
Possibly, Lord Donghua would make a move against Sun Wukong.
“Great Saint, is Lord Donghua threatening you?”
Nu Ba’s expression was somewhat cold.
Sun Wukong nodded and said, “Exactly.
He’s threatening me with his absolute power, and I have no choice but to yield.”
The crowd was somewhat surprised.
In their hearts, Sun Wukong had always been defiant and growing stronger against stronger foes.
His willingness to yield and admit weakness now was unexpected.
Thus, everyone’s expressions were somewhat strange.
Sun Wukong scanned the crowd, smiled, and said, “What are you thinking?
I’m only fierce by nature, not a fool.
I don’t have to confront every strong figure I meet.
Though Lord Donghua posed a threat, given his status and strength, it wasn’t overly aggressive for him to come and ask this of me.
If I were over-concerned, it would appear ungracious.”
If someone of equal strength to Sun Wukong had acted this way, even if only slightly stronger, Sun Wukong would have had a hard time accepting it.
But, Lord Donghua was far more powerful than Sun Wukong.
Hence, Sun Wukong had no choice but to accept it.
From his position, Lord Donghua had shown great respect.
If you asked Sun Wukong to plead with an ordinary Great Heavenly Venerate, he certainly wouldn’t have this attitude—he’d have simply fought and made the opponent concede.
The difference in power between Lord Donghua and Sun Wukong was even greater than between a Great Heavenly Venerate and Sun Wukong.
If he approached this calmly and was refused, Sun Wukong would appear ungracious.
With these thoughts in his mind, Sun Wukong sighed.
After all, his strength was inferior.
If he had sufficient strength, even equal to Lord Donghua, Sun Wukong would not have thought this way and would have already driven him away.
It was still a matter of insufficient power.
“Alright, go about your tasks.
Continue to train hard.
One day, I will make sure no deity can threaten us again.”
Sun Wukong’s eyes sparkled with determination.
The crowd nodded solemnly.
Outside, the conflict between the Ancient Gods and the Heavenly Court was growing increasingly fierce.
It had gradually involved some very ancient gods whose strength was formidable, far beyond beings like Ancestor Deer.
Yang Jian and others were acting everywhere, suppressing the malicious Ancient Gods.
However, their opponents were getting stronger and started to gather together, forming a Court of Ancient Gods.
The leader was none other than Queen Mother of the West.
At the same time, she also invited some renowned Ancient Gods to join.
Once the Court of Ancient Gods was established, suddenly there was a massive new force between heaven and earth.
When Sun Wukong heard this news, he was slightly stunned.
He finally understood why Lord Donghua had come to find him.
Indeed, he had already been aware of this development, hence his request to spare Queen Mother of the West.
Moreover, in his heart, Queen Mother of the West was doomed to defeat.
Because Lord Donghua knew the stance of The Three Pure Ones, whether through conjecture or direct information, it was clear from his demeanor that he understood The Three Pure Ones extremely well.
With The Three Pure Ones standing behind the mortals, Queen Mother of the West would struggle to support herself alone.
But, Sun Wukong also had to consider Lord Donghua’s words.
Even for The Three Pure Ones, it wasn’t necessary to choose between mortals and Ancient Gods.
Whoever benefited the universe, The Three Pure Ones would support.
Therefore, the position of The Three Pure Ones wasn’t set in stone.
If, in the end, they decided to abandon mortal beings, it wasn’t an impossibility.
Having his fate controlled by others was very uncomfortable for Sun Wukong.
He never liked being manipulated or having his destiny controlled.
While everyone revered The Three Pure Ones, who could truly understand their thoughts?
Neither he, Sun Wukong, nor Lord Donghua could.
“Great Saint, what are you thinking about?”
Nu Ba asked.
Sun Wukong smiled faintly and replied, “I am considering when my fate will finally be in my own hands.”
Nu Ba’s bright eyes rested on Sun Wukong, she murmured softly, “Great Saint, you have taken to heart what Lord Donghua said.”
With a slight nod, Sun Wukong smiled and said, “I finally took something in.
I think there is truth in his words.”
“The Three Pure Ones shouldn’t be like that; they’re exalted, revered by the people...”
Nu Ba stopped speaking at that point.
She suddenly realized, The Three Pure Ones were indeed revered by future generations, but that didn’t mean Ancient Gods revered The Three Pure Ones any less.
If that were the case, why should The Three Pure Ones definitely help the people of later generations?
“One’s own fate, it’s best if it’s in one’s own hands.”
Sun Wukong spoke quietly.
Nu Ba remained silent.
To ordinary people, they appeared mighty and omnipotent.
But compared to the true powerhouses, weren’t they just like mortals, unable even to control their own destinies?
Wukong’s words resonated with them.
Indeed, it was best to control one’s own fate.
