"Please come in." Zhu Zhengwei opened a tunnel.

"Yes."

"As a monk, my discipline was lacking, so I should take responsibility for my disciples' mistakes."

The white-robed Tang Monk appeared calm and casual, with hands clasped together, stepping into the tunnel as if he were a living Buddha, unfazed by whether it was a dragon's den or a tiger's lair, or an abyss beneath the earth.

Zhu Zhengwei watched stunned.

Though he had long anticipated Tang Monk's character, a saint across nine lifetimes.

Previously, his attempts at morally coercing others had never succeeded, but it seemed inevitable here.

Yet his demeanor made me feel like some classic villain from a movie, holding someone hostage.

Soon, Zhu Zhengwei sat back on a stone in the empty forest, closed his eyes, and smirked, "The entire primordial universe has been fully elevated..."

"An ultimate map has appeared within the universe."

"It also means that Sun Wukong has been elevated to a certain extent... If I could pull a hair from his body, perhaps I could extract some saintly essence and knowledge!"

Zhu Zhengwei thought to himself, having calculated multiple times and convinced the plan was feasible.

The Journey to the West is an overarching trend, but while the trend remains unchanged, minor details can be altered...

Secretly altering a few things to gain some advantage is completely reasonable.

After extensive inquiries, he knew that though 81 challenges were set in the Journey to the West,

no one knew exactly how they would unfold!

Meaning, the script of the Journey to the West foretold the future.

Even the saints were unaware of the exact details of the journey...

Though the Wuzhuang Temple was arranged as one of the challenges, its development was left to improvisation...

If not for the script in hand, they couldn't have guessed that Sun Wukong would be bold enough to knock down the Ginseng Fruit Tree... and still need Guanshiyin to clean up the mess.

"Who knows how the yet-to-happen events will unfold?"

Zhu Zhengwei mused, "Only I know the detailed future of Journey to the West... So, I can use this chance to create some excitement."

"Next, it's your stage, Queen of Xiliang..." Zhu Zhengwei thought calmly, "I hope the development you've prepared for so long won't let me down."

...

"What's this place, why is it filled with trash everywhere?"

A wild voice gritted angrily, pinching his nose and angrily bouncing around, "I've always known that old Taoist wasn't good! Actually tricked me, Old Sun, into jumping into a trap he'd long prepared?"

His eyes burned with rage, a fierce beastly fire, smashing into the meteors in the sky, "That old Taoist has truly enraged Old Sun here!!"

In the distance, countless patrol fleets suddenly took notice.

"Another external lifeform has descended upon us!"

"Quickly, neutralize and capture it!"

...

One by one, the commanders swiftly issued orders.

Recently, the stowaways led by the Queen of Xiliang had been causing chaos, lurking everywhere... grabbing the attention of the entire Mechanician Empire, with many powerful beings dispatched.

The empire paid close attention!

Even the legendary strongest saints cast their sights here.

The area was already heavily guarded, yet someone still dared to provoke them?

"Which group of demons are you?" Sun Wukong waved his Golden Cudgel, teeming with anger, pointing at the humans ahead, "Must be the shrimp soldiers and crab generals of those old Taoists! Even little demon soldiers dare to encircle Old Sun?"

As he was about to swing the Golden Cudgel, he noticed an anomaly.

To his surprise, the Golden Cudgel quickly shrank, almost devoid of heaven-shocking divine power.

His entire strength was limited, not even one-tenth remained, only his True Skill was usable.

"Humph! As expected there's deception! But it doesn't matter at all!"

With a cold laugh, he rapidly expanded into a terrifying giant ape, covered in black beast fur, fiercely clawing forward.

Within one strike, it transformed into countless sharp cutting airflows, capable of devouring all worldly things.

Countless sharp currents tore apart the fleet ahead, staining the entire vacuum meteor belt with blood, many remnants flying in midair.

"Interesting! Truly interesting!"

Sun Wukong grabbed a human remnant, flailing it like a whip, "A person from this world actually weighs a hundred and seventy thousand kilograms, and your weaponry and flesh hold immense potential!"

"Stupid lower-level amoebas."

A tall, slender man stepped forward, donning a white cape, "We are descendants of the universe's ultimate civilization; the organisms here have a super-nano 3-chain DNA structure..."

"So impressive?" Sun Wukong flipped the body in his hand, baring monkey fangs, "Seems quite heavy after all."

"Hahahahaha."

The pale-skinned man laughed, "Explaining in depth, with your low intelligence, you might not understand, so let me briefly explain the disparity between us."

"Life is the most intricate thing in the universe."

"Your low-level double-stranded DNA human blood vessels can stretch around a star twice over."

He pointed at a planet similar in size to Earth below, "As for us? Just the blood vessels of one finger are enough to rival the length of your entire body's blood vessels... circling a planet twice!"

"And most of your structures are ineffective waste; we are the universe's most perfect creatures, with our gene information encoded with the universe's greatest civilization library, capable of instinctively building various nano-biological cellular factories within our body, grand cellular constructions visible only microscopically—"

Boom!

Before he finished speaking.

Sun Wukong's paw attacked, the frenzy resembling a wild beast's assault, leaving no room for retaliation.

Already lacking large mechanical weapons,

"Typical lower beings, always resorting to violence." The man laughed again, coldly, "Just like the descriptions say, amoeba-like lower cell organisms, simple structures that have poor power utilization... yet for such weak beings, you possess different rules!"

He slightly bowed, gracefully saying:

"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Nils, the highest commander dispatched from the Southern Empire."

Nils extended his hand, slowly drawing a spiral long spear from his palm, performing an elegant knight's salute, "Barbaric lower beings, you need brute force to conquer."

He traversed the path of controlled battle weaponry.

The spear consisted of millions of nano-scale mechanical components, constructed through his cellular factories; without material nuclear compression technology, it was a planet-sized battleship weapon.

Even he himself was a super aircraft carrier, each cell a unit factory capable of continuously producing various weapons.

He was a war fortress!

He alone was worth more than all the dozen or so planets combined!

He drew his weapon, displaying his full strength in acknowledgment of the monkey's importance.

"Humph."

Nils sneered, then directly engaged in battle.

In the next moment, Sun Wukong was beaten into retreat, albeit with his True Skill prowess he remained alive in this reality universe where only True Skills were usable.

"A weakling indeed." Nils gazed disdainfully.

"You are indeed formidable, monster! But if Old Sun wasn't restrained, I wouldn't be unable to measure your strength!"

Sun Wukong cried out, whole body surging, his Golden Cudgel suddely expanding, striking fiercely with enormous spatial ripples.

When the dust settled, Nils no longer saw Sun Wukong's shadow.

"Again they vanish with odd and incomprehensible rules, slipping through our grasp."

Nils remained expressionless, "Let's pursue."

In the shadows.

The Queen of Xiliang watched, seeing Sun Wukong escape, elegantly opening her wardrobe, putting on a beautiful maiden's dress, applying lipstick, and smiling seductively, "Time for my entrance... as the charming girl who shelters several heroes."
