Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

The downfall of Umbrella Corporation brought about a legal reckoning for a large number of related enterprises and families, leaving them in ruin.

Among them, the Feng Corporation and the Jiang Corporation also faced some repercussions.

However, these two major groups had only minor contact with Umbrella and did not fund its research. Consequently, only their market shares were affected.

Still, even so, both groups lost nearly ten billion in assets.

This was especially true for the Jiang Corporation, whose cooperation with Ming Lun on the hypnosis pavilion was directly doomed to failure, forcing them to start over.

It was truly a return to the starting line.

"Damned Umbrella Corporation!"

Jiang Batian ground his teeth, "Because of them, we've lost so much!"

Everyone in the meeting room remained silent.

Jiang Batian's gaze fell on Jiang Mingde and he said, "I told you before, since we've already boarded Ming Lun's ship, we shouldn't provoke others. You just wouldn't listen, and now look!"

Jiang Mingde stayed silent—he remembered that when they first made contact with Umbrella, the old man had said, "One more line is one more path. Don't put all eggs in one basket."

Of course, he dared not voice this thought, only soaking up the blame and then admitting his mistake.

"Since it's already happened, there's no point in bringing it up again," Wudao spoke up, diverting the topic, "The future is an era of cultivation. We need to move in this direction. The hypnosis pavilion business is a bust, so we need to explore other avenues. I suggest we focus on Primordial Star."

"Primordial Star is filled with numerous resources, and its native civilization is quite barbaric—perfect for cheap labor, as well as future followers for when I become a saint."

"Besides, we have many large storage treasures, which can bring back materials from Primordial Star."

"Whether we sell these afterwards or use them ourselves, it's very cost-effective."

"Moreover, the Cultivation World is about to open up. By then, I'll certainly obtain more Qiankun Bags, Storage Rings, and other treasures, as well as a massive amount of resources from that side."

Jiang Batian's anger subsided, a hint of satisfaction appearing in his eyes, "Wudao always has foresight."

At this point, Jiang Mingxin spoke up, "My son Jiang Wuxing has also greatly improved in the Primordial World, with his vitality reaching 1.5, nearly 2."

"That quick?" Wudao asked with a poker face, "He didn't overdraw his potential, did he?"

Jiang Batian's expression grew stern, "You didn't give Wuxing any illegal potions, did you?"

On the market, there were potions that quickly increased vitality by overdrawing the potential of cells, essentially trading power for one's lifespan.

Once a cell's division limit is reached, the person's life approaches its end.

If Mingxin had indeed given his son such a drug, Jiang Batian felt that his son was completely disqualified from inheriting any share of the Jiang Corporation.

Mingxin replied, "He's my only son, how could I give him that kind of life-depleting potion?"

He might lack a broad view, but he wasn't foolish.

"Then what's the explanation?" Jiang Batian demanded.

"Wuxing encountered Su Jie on Primordial Star, turned hostility into friendship, and received his guidance..." Mingxin recounted the experience Wuxing shared with him, quite pleased with himself.

"Idiocy!"

Jiang Mingde scoffed coldly, "This is just to lull Wuxing into complacency. You're oblivious, yet actually enchanted by the other party. Do you really think Su Jie is using Wuxing to target Wudao?"

Mingxin retorted, "Better to unravel enmity than to intensify it. Do you plan to fight Su Jie to the bitter end? His defeat of Wudao's nephew has already proven his potential."

"With such capability, isn't it better to forge good relations than to become enemies?"

"We live in a society governed by law now, big brother."

"Moreover, do you have any way to beat him? I even believe he has a greater chance of breaking through to the fetal breath stage than Wudao does."

Wudao's face was dark as night.

His loss to Su Jie was an undeniable fact, and in the Supreme Cup final, he had pulled out all stops, using the Taixu Illusory Realm to enhance his strength far beyond his real-world capabilities.

But even so, he still lost.

"Su Jie is indeed formidable, but we don't have any deep-seated hatred with him; it's just that we used business tactics against his sister, Su Chen," Wudao said, despite his irritation, not narrow-minded, and considering meeting Su Jie to see what's what, "So, if Wuxing has the ability, forming good relations with Su Jie might be a good idea."

Jiang Batian praised, "My grandson Wudao is truly magnanimous."

Mingxin felt aggrieved.

It was his own son who had become friendly with Su Jie. Why did his father always praise Wudao?

Just because his vitality was high?

It was sheer favoritism!

Yet, even so, he wasn't sure to lose. As long as Wuxing maintained good relations with Su Jie, he was bound to surpass Wudao in the future...

...

The Feng Family.

Feng Yuxuan, Feng Qianzang, and Feng Hengyi were discussing amongst themselves.

Feng Hengyi asked, "How was the Umbrella Corporation uncovered?"

Feng Yuxuan wasn't concerned about that matter, "That's not important, what's important is, how should we recover our losses?"

"How about shifting the conflict, temporarily transferring our focus to Primordial Star?"

Feng Qianzang suggested a solution, "But the Jiang Corporation will definitely do the same, the tribe where I descended is a bit close to the one where Jiang Wudao is located, conflicts are likely to arise."

Ming Lun had several rules for players' behavior on Primordial Star, one of which was that players could not order their tribe to declare war on other tribes unless the tribes acted on their own. Kееp us gоing by rеаding оn МV_LЕМ_РYR.

The manipulation potential in this was significant.

But to date, no one had dared to do this, as once they violated the rules, they would be stripped of their player status on Primordial Star, and to go there again, they would probably have to wait until Earth developed a spacecraft to traverse the long light years.

But by the time Earth could develop a spacecraft, Primordial Star would probably have been completely divided up, and in the meantime, Taixu Illusory Realm might open up various extraterrestrial planets, or even other dimensional worlds.

However, once someone caused trouble on Primordial Star and got blacklisted by the Taixu Illusory Realm, when entering other material planets or dimensional universes that were opened up later, it would be easy for people to bring up their dark past.

As for collaborating with Jiang Wudao...

It wasn't that they hadn't considered it, but everyone was a proud person, cooperation would always need to establish a clear hierarchy, yet neither side would submit to the other.

"Jiang Wudao is not an easy person to get along with, comparatively, Su Jie is a bit easier to deal with," Feng Yuxuan suddenly said.

"Big brother, what are you talking about?"

Feng Hengyi was shocked and angry.

Su Jie had made them lose face, yet Feng Yuxuan was actually speaking on his behalf?

Had he gone mad?

Feng Yuxuan said, "There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Frankly speaking, we and Su Jie are not essentially mortal enemies."

"What's more, I feel that the Umbrella Corporation will run into trouble, and it's very likely to be somewhat related to him."

"Do you remember the banquet held by the Zhang Group seven days ago that we attended? Su Jie was there, and his life force field was terrifyingly strong."

Feng Qianzang also remembered, and his body shook involuntarily, "Honestly, at that moment, I felt like I was in the midst of a starry sky, accompanied only by cold and solitude."

Feng Hengyi also shuddered, fear appearing in his eyes, but he still forced it down, "So what? Could it be that he has already reached the Embryonic Breathing stage?"

"Not yet," Feng Yuxuan shook his head, "If he had reached the Embryonic Breathing stage, then he would no longer be a student, but rather a master of the last ten percent of permissions in Taixu Illusory Realm, at least the head of the internal affairs office."

Feng Qianzang said, "Su Jie probably doesn't know about this."

Feng Yuxuan snorted, "It does not matter, as long as he breaks through to Embryonic Breathing, he will be actively invited by the principal and others, and by then everyone will know."

Feng Hengyi's momentum weakened, "Why does he have such outstanding talent?"

Jealousy!

Envy!

Both were present.

But what could they do about it?

Under the rules of Ming Lun, they had no way to deal with Su Jie, and with Su Jie's current strength, he couldn't be dealt with by ordinary means either.

Making friends was the only choice!

In the blink of an eye, the year had passed.

A new term had begun.

Su Jie was surprised to find that Jiang Wudao, the three brothers of the Feng Family, and others were no longer as hostile towards him as usual, and even took the initiative to consult him on some issues.

Were they planning to make friends with him?

Su Jie did not refuse, instead, he earnestly explained his own cultivation insights to them.

Jiang Wudao initially just wanted to test the waters, but upon seeing that Su Jie really and completely shared his cultivation process, which greatly benefited his own practice, he gradually let go of that bit of grudge in his heart.

"Su Jie, I am not as good as you," Jiang Wudao sighed, "Being your enemy is very unwise, it would be better to be friends, otherwise it will only lead my soul into a state of irreversible doom."

Su Jie smiled.

If he had been weak, he would have been on the path of killing to prove the Tao.

Feng Yuxuan also extended the most sincere invitation to Su Jie, "If you are willing, you can come to Feng Corporation at any time, the position of chairman can also be yours."

This was sincere.

During these days, he had truly understood Su Jie, deeply realizing one truth—Su Jie was the true sage.

"I started a Wujie Security Company with Zhang Manman and Chen Tian Yuzi, so I'm afraid I don't have time to go," Su Jie could feel Feng Yuxuan's sincerity, but still declined.

"That's really a pity," Feng Yuxuan smiled, his eyes carrying a hint of regret, but he was still very happy, happy that he had become Su Jie's friend.

Smiles wash away past grievances.

After the four left, Zhang Manman stretched lazily and admired, "I didn't expect you to really become friends with them, I thought you would fight with them in the future, using them as stepping stones, step by step towards the pinnacle."

Su Jie couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Please, this isn't some feel-good novel, there isn't any deep-seated enmity between us, who's right and who's wrong, it's hard to say, a peaceful association is the best."

"High realm!" Zhang Manman gave Su Jie a thumbs up, "But I can assure you, you are on the path of the invincible!"
