Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

"Cycle of Samsara, the Void!"

"Open!"

Sun Shisheng uttered softly, and the entire space of heaven's will began to tremble, transforming according to his thoughts into a crimson-black world. One by one, houses emerged next to each other, and lanterns inscribed with the character "Offerings" appeared, fluttering about like lively spirits.

A winding yellow river ran through the city, its destination unknown. However, souls emerged from the water, their eyes vacant, yet their spirits instinctively struggled, attempting to reach the shore but failing to do so.

With a furrowed brow, Sun Shisheng willed it, and on the banks of the River of Styx, countless Black and White Impermanence appeared, holding fishing rods, pulling people out of the water.

Once the souls were pulled from the water, they immediately regained their clarity of mind.

"Where am I?"

"What place is this?"

"I remember that I died, didn't I?"

"Is this the world after death?"

The noisy ghosts babbled on until Sun Shisheng shone brightly, his golden radiance illuminating the entire world, which quieted them down. He said, "This is the underworld. You have died. However, you may start a new life in this world of the dead."

The abode of reincarnation was initially established, but—

"I don't want to die!"

"Please, let me go back!"

"I want to see my wife! My son!"

"I still have things left unfinished!"

The dead always cling to the world of the living.

"The dead must be reincarnated, but they must also pay a price for the evils they committed in life," Sun Shisheng pointed towards the River of Netherworld and slowly said, "Those with deep sins from their lives will sink in this river for eons, becoming the purest blank souls. Then, and only then, can they be reincarnated. As for you, the common folk and the good people, the Black and White Impermanence can fish you out to live here."

A ghost asked, "My lord, how do we judge what is good and evil?"

Sun Shisheng answered, "It will vary based on the laws of the human world, not remaining constant, granting you the appropriate fairness."

Another ghost asked, "Can we continue to exist here indefinitely?"

This world, aside from being dimly colored and uninhabited, differed little from the mortal world. As ghosts, had they achieved a form of eternal life?

"No."

Sun Shisheng shook his head, "You may live here until your descendants forget your existence."

Under Sun Shisheng's design, the realm opened up from the space of heaven's will, where the souls of the righteous could exist, receiving the various offerings burned by their descendants in tribute.

However, once no one among their descendants remembered them, their spirit would dissipate, reconstitute, and become a blank soul returning to the Cultivation World, to be reincarnated.

Humans experience death twice in a lifetime.

Once, when the physical body dies; and another, when they are forgotten by everyone who remembered them.

Spiritual and morally noble ones!

Will be forever commemorated!

How one lives after death is directly proportional to the conduct of their life, and great individuals will undoubtedly receive their due respect!

Good is rewarded with good, evil with evil.

It may not be realized in life, but in Sun Shisheng's created realm of reincarnation, truly, good and evil will ultimately be repaid!

"However, you shouldn't complain, as each year you are able to return to the mortal world in your soul form and reunite with your families. But your family members can't see you, and you can't touch them, separated by the barrier between Yin and Yang, insurmountable," Sun Shisheng gave these ghostly souls a glimmer of hope, "You can send dreams, but how much your family remembers will depend on their own situations."

By making such a promise, Sun Shisheng also hoped that these spirits could enlighten their descendants and persuade people to do good through dream sending.

The wealth of everyone here was closely related to the living conditions of their descendants.

Latter, Sun Shisheng selected some well-behaved souls and granted them the duty of guardianship, managing the various affairs of this city of the dead.

The Cultivation World is vast, and every day countless creatures meet their end, not only the sentient humans but all manner of animals and plants.

Indeed, even ordinary animals, and plants possess souls, though their souls are so fragile that they can hardly take shape, the size of a grain of rice, and devoid of thought.

Therefore, patrol teams collected the souls of plants and animals and stored them in the center of the Heavenly Will space for the reincarnation of flora and fauna. Th.i-s^ c+hapt!e&r! was mad+e+ po$s-si*bl!e by the M+V_L+EM$PY+R- c^om^mu!n&it-y..

Seeing that the lives of the souls in this city were gradually getting on track, Sun Shisheng also collected a large amount of data and temporarily left the Heavenly Will Space, preparing to find a few more sub-dimensional worlds like this one to experiment with before establishing a true Void Cycle in the Taixu Illusory Realm...

...

Meanwhile.

In the extreme north of the Cultivation World, where ice and snow blanket everything, there exists a type of extremely cold-resistant white tree, its branches and leaves like ice crystals, resembling a crystal kingdom.

Many creatures living here rely on this white ice tree for survival.

The ice trees provide habitats and food for the creatures, while these creatures in turn help spread the seeds of the ice trees, sustaining life.

However, on this day, an unexpected visitor arrived. With just a thought, he destroyed all the ice trees in the area, plucked the crystal leaves, and constructed a massive Ice Crystal Space three thousand feet below the snow.

The visitor was none other than the Alliance Hierarch of the Tao Demon Alliance—Meng Daozhen!

The leaves of the ice tree are among the hardest materials for Artifact Refining, capable of crafting impregnable defensive Magic Artifacts. Meng Daozhen relied on these ice crystal leaves to create a safe space for himself to refine the Heavenly Will.

This place was the far north, as far as the eye could see, a vast expanse. Even if ordinary people came here, the likelihood of discovering him was extremely small. Moreover, with the defense of the ice crystal leaves, even if he were discovered, breaking through would require a great deal of effort, enough for Meng Daozhen to react, halt the refining of the Heavenly Will, and eliminate the invaders.

"Meng Daozhen, why have you imprisoned me?"

Heavenly Will was confused and angry, finally understanding where that impulsive premonition had come from.

Meng Daozhen!

He had actually removed It from the center of the Heavenly Will Space!

Truly despicable!

It had once imagined that It might be refined by the heavenly will of the Taixu Illusory Realm in the future, becoming an incarnation with independent thought; It had also considered the possibility of being devoured and erased by the several Heavenly Demons who intruded, becoming their nourishment for advancement.

However!

It had never thought that It would be betrayed by Its own junior brother!

The Cultivation World was created by the Great Emperor, and It, as the Heavenly Will of the Cultivation World, was like the son of the Great Emperor. Meng Daozhen, who practiced the Eternal Supreme Scripture, was a successor to the Great Emperor, a junior brother to It.

Thinking this, Heavenly Will grew even angrier!

The actions of Meng Daozhen were absolutely unforgivable!

Meng Daozhen raised his hands, refining the Heavenly Will within the Great Emperor's Relic, and chuckled, "As the Heavenly Will who reaps the souls of all creatures, don't you understand?"

"In your eyes, all creatures are but food, and I am merely wishing to transition from food to the one who cultivates it."

"Rest assured, once I refine you, I will achieve the status of a True God, and I will surely be able to resist the influence of the Taixu Illusory Realm."

"Hahaha~"
