Great Demon Sun Wukong

Just as Sun Wukong was engulfed in endless slaughter and devouring, in the infinite void beyond the Pangu Realm, a gamble of life and death was simultaneously playing out.

The infinite void was a place that struck fear into the hearts of all who heard of it. If it was relatively closer to one’s own planet, it might not be too bad, but once it was a little farther away, that void became the most dangerous place of all.

Countless spatial torrents and vicious spatial beasts roamed, but the most terrifying of all were the space-time black holes and the Source of the World. Spatial torrents were like invisible and colorless space forces flowing like rivers. These torrents were undetectable in advance. Only when they had already sliced you into pieces would you possibly realize their existence.

And only those superpowers possessed something like the Space-Cleaving Shuttle to evade these spatial torrents.

Spatial beasts were not a single species but a category of creature. These beasts varied in shape and species, but they all shared one common trait: they could freely traverse space and had the power to manipulate it.

On any given day, these spatial beasts would lurk in the void, choosing their prey.

As for the space-time black holes, everyone likely knows about them: those black maws with endless suction power. Anyone who encountered them had no chance of escape, unless they were extremely powerful or possessed a Divine Artifact capable of counteracting them.

As for the last, the World Origin, it was the embryonic form of a world soon to take shape. This was a place of both risk and opportunity. If you were unfortunate or fortunate enough to encounter it, you had two choices. First, look away. Unlike the black hole, the World Origin wouldn’t actively suck you in, so you could simply pass by without any loss.

To put it figuratively, the World Origin was like a giant egg, nurturing a new world within.

Second, you could crack open the eggshell and steal the yolk. That meant trying to enter the World Origin and devour the purest force of the World contained within. However, this approach was extremely dangerous. Because before you entered the World Origin, you could never know what was inside.

Perhaps you had a Fire Attribute constitution, but the World Origin was an ice world; entering would mean your immediate demise. Although some people were so strong that they could destroy a complete world, they were still no match for the World Origin.

That’s because the World Origin represented the highest Cosmic Law of the universe, and no one could contend or conflict with it. Thus, entering the World Origin was a gamble of life and death. Even if you initially gambled right and the World Origin’s Attribute perfectly matched your own, that only ensured you wouldn’t die right away.

Whether you could absorb such immense power or had sufficient Realm to do so was what truly mattered. Absorbing a World Origin was equivalent to fusing a thread of the supreme Cosmic Law. The Cosmic Law was countless times more powerful than the laws of a world. For those who had fused with the Cosmic Law, becoming a Supreme ruler was a broad and easy path.

While others were still striving to comprehend and break through their Realms, those who had integrated with the Cosmic Law just needed enough Spiritual Power to advance.

Therefore, every World Origin was an opportunity to become a Supreme. But precisely because of this, nearly all World Origins were in the hands of the highest rulers. The Six Great Divine Nations, several High-Level worlds—they were the highest echelon of the cosmos. Not all World Origins could be absorbed; otherwise, the universe would cease to produce new worlds.

After saying so much, what I want to say is, if you can encounter an uncontrolled World Origin that matches your own Attribute, that is entirely down to luck, incredible luck.

And now, not far from the Pangu Realm, beside a small black hole, there lay such a faint blue World Origin. Faint blue, which was very likely to be a Water System or Ice System World Origin. If this world were to be born, it would be a massive water globe. However, there is someone in the heart of this World Origin, positioned at its very center.

It seems that he is refining the Origin Power and perceiving the Cosmic Law. But judging by his furrowed brow and pained expression, this absorption and perception are hardly easy tasks.

If Sun Wukong or Zhu Bajie were here, they would certainly recognize that the person at the center of the World Origin was none other than their junior brother, the pretty-faced White Dragon!

Originally, when Sun Wukong was counterattacking Heaven, he was about to claim victory when Tathagata unexpectedly intervened—just as a mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. As a result, Sun Wukong’s near-triumph came to naught.

It was during that time that the Little White Dragon was captured by a mysterious figure who tore open the fabric of space and hurled him out of the Pangu Realm. Back then, the Little White Dragon’s strength was merely at Emperor Level; being cast out into the Infinite Void was as good as death, and perhaps even worse than dying outright. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

This was probably the reason the person didn’t kill him directly, instead throwing him into the Void. The boundless darkness and oppression were unbearable, practically worse than death. However, whether it was good luck or bad, upon being cast out, Little White Dragon found himself entangled by the gravitational pull of a small black hole.

With his Emperor Level strength offering no chance of resistance, he was swept away by the attractive force.

But just as Little White Dragon closed his eyes and waited for death, he suddenly felt an even stronger force pulling at him. Then, he found himself in a world of icy tundras and snowfields. The cold not only failed to cause pain but instead felt surprisingly comfortable. (This feels incredibly awesome! So refreshing! Hehe, the song suddenly popped into his head.)

And then, White Dragon passed out. Though he was unconscious, his body continued to absorb and refine the massive Water System Power. It was not so much White Dragon absorbing the power but rather the origin power flowing into him of its own volition.

The Cosmic Law within the Source of the World was also fusing into White Dragon’s sea of consciousness, gradually being enlightened by him even in his slumber!

Meanwhile, in the Pangu Realm.

Zhu Bajie, who had intended to go to the Western Paradise Sacred Mountain to inquire about the whereabouts of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Tree in order to rescue his master, suddenly felt a jolt of attraction in his heart. This mysterious feeling would vanish when focused on, yet reappear unexpectedly when ignored, carrying with it a powerful urge.

That urge was to go underground, to keep descending. It seemed as if something deep below was drawing him in. However, for Zhu Bajie, nothing was of more importance than finding the Seven Treasures Exquisite Tree to save his master; everything else paled in comparison, not even worth one ten-thousandth of his attention. Shaking his head, he tried to suppress that urge and sensation.

But before Zhu Bajie had taken more than a few steps, the feeling in his heart intensified, as though something unfortunate would happen if he didn’t follow it. The stronger the urge became, the more Zhu Bajie resisted it. Besides, he thought, with everyone already dead, what could possibly be worse?

After taking a deep breath and constantly reminiscing about his master, he managed to suppress the feeling a bit more. But just as Zhu Bajie took a step, the urge exploded within him, and he let out an angry roar, his voice laden with frustration and pain. However, once the roar dissipated, Zhu Bajie felt a strange calmness and then shot toward the ground.

Upon landing, the same feeling continued to guide Zhu Bajie downward. Gritting his teeth, he tore through the earth and flew swiftly downward. It was not until he felt a surge of heat that he realized he was nearing the Earth’s Core.

At that moment, the urge in his heart burst into a cheer, growing even stronger. Helplessly, Zhu Bajie continued to descend, braving the waves of heat.

Eventually, Zhu Bajie found himself within the Earth’s Core, surrounded by nine Golden Crows. It was fortunate that the Crows appeared at the last moment; otherwise, he would have been transformed into a roasted pig.

Within the Earth’s Core, Zhu Bajie found it hard to describe his surroundings, except that he felt an intense heat, with blazing white and fiery red lava filling his sight. Zhu Bajie believed that even Chang’er would be charred to a crisp if she were here, yet he himself remained unharmed. It seemed that these nine Golden Crows were not so simple.

As Zhu Bajie marveled, the Golden Crows suddenly began to cry out, their resounding calls as if summoning something. Soon, amidst the Earth’s Core magma, a golden trunk slowly emerged. At first glance, the trunk seemed to have been forged from the purest gold, its shimmering light stupefying Zhu Bajie.

"The Lóu Sāng Divine Tree? And a gold one that has been continuously absorbing the heat from the Earth’s Core? My god, I’ve really stumbled upon a treasure!"
