Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

"Erlang God's mother was the sister of the Jade Emperor, who secretly matched with Yang. She was pressed under Peach Mountain by the Jade Emperor, and was later rescued by Erlang God, but Yang had already reincarnated,"

The Great True Warrior Emperor slowly recounted that piece of history, "Simply because when Erlang God was young, his mother had already been pressed under Peach Mountain. In order to cultivate his abilities and split the mountain to save his mother, he left his hometown early and went to apprentice himself to learn arts. By the time he split the mountain to save his mother, Yang had already died of old age, his own older brother had also died of old age, and his younger sister had grown old as well."

"Erlang then chose not to take a name, just calling himself Yang Erlang, in memory of this."

Sun Wukong nodded, filled with emotion.

Although the Jade Emperor was somewhat petty, he would not quarrel with mortals, nor would he necessarily eliminate them just because Yang's elder brother and younger sister were offspring of a divine being and a mortal."

Perhaps the children of gods and mortals advance rapidly on the path of cultivation, but since there were no True Immortals in Nanshan, and the creatures were innocent, he did not pursue the matter any further.

The Jade Emperor's path of cultivation spanned one thousand seven hundred and fifty calamities, each calamity lasting one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred years.

And every one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred years, the three realms would restart once, evolving different wonderful phenomena.

With the temperament of the Jade Emperor, how could he care about people like Yang and the others?

However, his own sister had developed mortal affections in this calamity, and if she were to sink into them, she might be eliminated at the end of this calamity. Therefore, he pressed her under Peach Mountain, hoping she would reflect properly."

Maybe even the Jade Emperor didn't expect that Yang Erlang would traverse mountains and rivers to apprentice and learn arts, and he really managed to return after learning them, split Peach Mountain, and save his own mother.

Unfortunately, Yang and the others had already died of old age.

Perhaps after Yang Erlang attained the status of Heavenly Immortal, he also understood the intentions of the Jade Emperor. Immortality cannot be given, it must be cultivated, hence he also recognized this uncle.

But after all, the uncle had pressed his own mother, and he had to show some color on the face of it, or it wouldn't be acceptable.

So—

He obeys the command but not the proclamation.

To sum up Yang Erlang's words in one phrase—

"Then this Yang Erlang is really tsundere," Sun Wukong laughed."

"Eh? Tsundere?" The Great True Warrior was puzzled and did not understand the meaning.

"It means that he has already come to an understanding in his heart and accepted the reality, but he can't show it on the face of it, and his attitude still needs to be tough," Sun Wukong explained to him.

"With the younger brother saying so, Yang Erlang is indeed like this, haha!" The Great True Warrior Emperor thought of Erlang God's situation and laughed heartily, "It's just a pity, I'm not familiar with him, otherwise I would have called him over to help."

In reality, Yang Erlang was quite enthusiastic, but his behavior of "obeying the command but not the proclamation" made most people think he was very proud, and the gods and immortals who knew the reason for his actions didn't feel it was appropriate to invite him for help.

After all, there was no need to that extent to ask for his help, moreover, it was to help maintain Yang Erlang's persona.

After three rounds of drinks, the sky had darkened.

Sun Wukong bid his farewell, ready to take Yuyan and Iron Fan to have a look around Northern Jambu Continent.

"You're leaving just like that, young brother? It's quite late now, why not rest for the night and set off tomorrow?" The Great True Warrior Emperor implored him to stay.

"Why put off till tomorrow what can be done today? Tomorrow, how much remains?" Sun Wukong sighed, "We immortals need not rest at night like mortals, we should cherish every moment, indulge fully when happy; and when it's time to act, we must give it our all."

"Noble thoughts from the Spiritual King," The Great True Warrior was deeply inspired, motivated by Sun Wukong, he also got his commanders to start training exercises.

The Turtle and Snake Generals: "..."

Sun Wukong took Yuyan and Iron Fan and rose on the clouds, crossing mountains and rivers.

In the darkness, all kinds of ghosts and deities made their appearance.

Thousands of miles away from where the Great True Warrior had stationed himself, there was a demon city standing dozens of meters high, decorated with human skin and animal bones, and the walls stained with the brown color of congealed blood.

Horrifying!

Detestable!

Yuyan's two fox ears drooped as she expressed her alarm, "This doesn't seem like a good place; the scent of blood is too strong."

"It must be newly built." Sun Wukong frowned, observing the demon city, which had been constructed no more than a year ago, likely in imitation of his own city at Huaguo Mountain.

Unfortunately, it only mimicked the appearance and lacked the essence.

"Great King, which Demon King's city is this?" Tie Shan inquired.

"The Lion Camel King." Sun Wukong glanced at the three large characters saying "Lion Country" above the city gate and replied without hesitation, "Let's go in and have a look."

Descending from the clouds, Sun Wukong's appearance changed, transforming into a young lion demon.

Yuyan and Tie Shan also used their illusions, turning into two upright female lions.

As the Lion Camel King had established the demon nation, naturally the lions held the highest status, which is why all three of them became lions.

Sun Wukong used an Invisibility Skill to cover himself, Yuyan, and Tie Shan, entering the ten-zhang-tall city gate and arriving on the main street.

The place was scattered with bonfires, adding some light to the darkness, but the flickering fires in the cold wind revealed an eerie vibe as well as... liveliness.

The houses on both sides of the street were built from stones and clay, quite primitive, but at least they moved away from living in caves, showing a slight hint of civilization.

However, the vendors on both sides of the street, consisting of tigers, wolves, lions, leopards, and the like, were selling various human body parts—heads, hands, feet, torsos.

They even had human organs such as hearts, livers, lungs, stomachs, and spleens, which were truly pungently odorous.

Yuyan felt nauseous, "Why do all the demons here enjoy eating these things?"

Furthermore, based on her observation, the demons here also preferred to eat raw!

Too barbaric!

Even the demons of the Western Niu Hezhou knew to clean their food before eating, then skin it, remove tendons, bleed it, whether boiling, steaming, roasting, or grilling.

Well, she hadn't eaten humans herself, it was just what her father had told her.

"Like drinking blood and eating flesh, they're no different from beasts, or perhaps, they are beasts," Tie Shan shook her head slightly. She was born in the Rakshasa Country, where evil spirits reside, eating humans by tearing and biting like beasts, no different from the demons here.

Fortunately, her master took her away from that place when she was young, otherwise she might have ended up with the same blood-drinking habits.

Just thinking about becoming like that made Tie Shan shudder. The original source is M|V|L5EMPYR.

Sun Wukong approached a stall that sold human flesh, where an elderly lion was the vendor, its brown mane already turning white and withered, its eyes murky with veins of blood, and a missing tooth made it look particularly ferocious.

"Buying meat?" The old lion looked at Sun Wukong, a fellow lion, with two little lionesses in tow, and casually remarked, "I have prime human flesh here, very tender!"

Sun Wukong neither agreed nor disagreed, and asked, "How much is it worth?"

The old lion said, "It's the flesh and blood of those who practice Qi Cultivation, rich in Spiritual Energy, comparable to Spiritual Medicine. Ten gold taels per jin, or three black-patterned coins per jin."

"The Eternal Coin has even spread here?" Yuyan exclaimed.

"That's the currency created by the Monkey King of the Eastern Victory Divine Continent. It can bypass the effort of accumulating Spiritual Energy. Naturally, our Great King got some of it, but he dares not venture there anymore, as it's now mostly inhabited by Heavenly Immortals and the like," the old lion said with a hint of regret.

And that was indeed the truth.

After that celebration banquet, many Heavenly Immortals and deities gradually made their way to Huaguo Mountain to visit, and the four great demon kings naturally wouldn't dare come by, to avoid conflict.
