Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

In the vast void, the Primordial Heavenly King called out to Chaos, "Chaos, you must unite with me to counter the Taixu Illusory Realm, or else face total extinction."

The Primordial Heavenly King controlled a part of the prison's origin, which enabled him to cultivate to his current realm, whereas Chaos was the birthplace of countless timespaces and myriad realms.

Chaos appeared.

He manifested as a huge, fleshly man, within whom countless worlds were concealed.

When he transformed into a human, the creatures, all things, treasures, spaces, and even beings from the Great Emperor Realm and the Reincarnation Realm within him, all perished, turning into the most primal Chaotic Ancient Energy.

His appearance was somewhat similar to that of the Primordial Heavenly King.

The giant man of Chaos was naked, without any clothes, empty-handed, just like the Pangu of ancient mythology, freshly born and about to create heaven and earth.

"Your form has shrunk a lot, and your strength has also weakened," the Primordial Heavenly King said unapologetically.

Chaos uttered a deep sound, "Because 90 percent of the countless timespaces I evolved from have been embraced by the Taixu Illusory Realm, my strength has indeed weakened."

The Primordial Heavenly King nodded, "Infinite and eternal beings have already been embraced by the Taixu Illusory Realm. In this vast cage, only the two of us are left."

"So, do you intend to join the Taixu Illusory Realm?" The figures of Sun Shisheng and others appeared, with the voice of the Great Dao reaching the minds of the Primordial Heavenly King and Chaos.

The Primordial Heavenly King said, "If we disagree, do you intend to suppress us? Then, how are your actions any different from those of Jiang Li in the past?"

"There is a difference."

Sun Shisheng spoke indifferently, "As long as you do not obstruct us from integrating the core of the prison into the Taixu Illusory Realm, you are free to do as you please."

"That's impossible," Chaos roared as he shook his head, "All of us originated from the core of the prison, we cannot take the risk. I know you seek transcendence, but that is too dangerous."

"Transcendence?" Sun Shisheng shook his head. "No, what we seek is not to transcend, but rather to advance."

This was where they differed from Jiang Li.

For transcendence, Jiang Li would make decisions on behalf of everyone, but Sun Shisheng and his group would not; instead, they provided all beings with the chance to choose for themselves, allowing a myriad of possibilities to blossom.

Just as with the Primordial Heavenly King and Chaos, if they wished to join the Taixu Illusory Realm, they could; if not, that was also fine, provided they did not obstruct the integration of the prison core into the Taixu Illusory Realm.

"So you are asking us to go beyond the cage?" the Primordial Heavenly King bitterly said, "Beyond there lies true nothingness, devoid of everything, non-existent!"

"It's only that you cannot break through that nothingness; I come from beyond the true void," Sun Shisheng didn't hide his identity. "Coming here, I had a bit of a selfish motive, wanting to test the planning for all beings, but so far, it has been quite successful."

"Join the Taixu Illusory Realm!"

"We will not forcibly brainwash you, and in the distant future, as the Taixu Illusory Realm continues to grow, one day, it will expand to the boundaries beyond the prison, encountering other realms of heaven!"

"That will be the real excitement!"

Chaos was moved.

He did not seek transcendence precisely because he was unsure whether, after transcending, he would die or lose everything.

The path Sun Shisheng offered was very much to his liking.

It meant a new place for all beings to live, where, due to the existence of the Taixu Illusory Realm, all creatures between planets, dimensions, and timespaces could interact and progress together.

This rate of progress was very slow, but it was secure and provided a huge opportunity for trial and error!

"Chaos, are you moved?!" the Primordial Heavenly King shouted, trying to awaken Chaos. He didn't want to join some Taixu Illusory Realm; he wanted to assimilate the entirety of the prison's origin to attain true supremacy!

"Indeed, I am moved." Chaos looked towards Sun Shisheng. "Can you guarantee that you won't kill me in the future?"

"I guarantee that I will never kill you," Sun Shisheng promised.

"Good, I believe you." Chaos understood that such a person disdained lies and would not lie, and thus he left the side of the Primordial Heavenly King and joined Sun Shisheng's faction.

"Chaos! You!" The Primordial Heavenly King was in disbelief; Chaos had switched sides so easily.

"Primordial Heavenly King, you should join as well. It's safer," Chaos tried to persuade the Primordial Heavenly King. "After all, you alone can't defeat so many of us."

Was this something you say during a persuasion?!

Furious and frustrated, the Primordial Heavenly King ultimately surrendered.

At least, he could remain alive.

He had hidden for so many years and didn't mind keeping a low profile in the future. Eventually, he might find an opportunity to assimilate the origin of the Taixu Illusory Realm.

It was merely a change of target.

It was not unacceptable.

Wang Chao said disdainfully, "I am Yuanshi Tianzun, and your title, Primordial Heavenly King, is a repeated name with mine; change it, call yourself the Son of Chaos, since you almost resemble Chaos exactly."

Chaos nodded in agreement, "Well said, he is like my son."

Primordial Heavenly King: "······"

"Whatever you say, you are from Earth, I am considered the source of your lineage," the Primordial Heavenly King tried to retain his title, "You shouldn't appropriate the title of the old ancestor."

Wang Chao said, "The ones who started the divine civilization on Earth were the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, not you, Primordial Heavenly King, so you don't have the right to the title 'Primordial'······ If you disagree, we can fight it out, one-on-one. Whoever wins gets to keep the name 'Primordial.'"

The Primordial Heavenly King was somewhat tempted.

However, Su Jie and Li Hansha stood by Wang Chao's side. The aura of the three transformed into the "Dao" and directly suppressed the Primordial Heavenly King, preventing him from making any moves.

"Wasn't it agreed that we would duel one-on-one?" the Primordial Heavenly King questioned.

"The Three Pure Ones are one." Wang Chao spoke slowly.

"So, it's the three of us dueling you alone," said Li Hansha slowly.

"Make your choice, whether or not you accept the duel," Su Jie said indifferently.

The Son of Chaos fell silent.

A duel?

This was utterly unfair!

"Actually, I think the title 'Son of Chaos' is pretty good, hahaha," The Son of Chaos laughed heartily, accepting his new name.

Chan Yinsha watched the resigned Primordial Heavenly King and disdainfully said, "I thought I was going to see a grand and magnificent battle. I never expected the Primordial Heavenly King to be a coward."

The Son of Chaos endured, pretending not to hear.

Mock me, go ahead!

He let it go in one ear and out the other, no matter what you say.

In the endless future, he must survive until the end!

Sun Shisheng had already begun to act.

Golden pupils, golden fur, Sun Shisheng's appearance drastically changed, transforming into an ape-man, ten thousand zhang tall, yet it was not his Law of Heaven and Earth Divine Skill, but the manifestation of his True Spirit Primordial Spirit!

Law of Heaven and Earth is the Great Divine Power of the physical body, truly transforming the body into ten thousand zhang tall!

The Manifestation of Heaven and Earth, however, is the Primordial Spirit reflecting the outside world, drawing in the external Spiritual Energy and its own Mana to form an energy body. It is not as stable as Law of Heaven and Earth but has the advantage of being controlled by the Primordial Spirit. It can connect with the souls of all beings, appearing more divine and less rugged than the Law of Heaven and Earth.

"Sun really is Sun Wukong," Wang Chao couldn't help but complain, also realizing what he needed to do next. He exchanged glances with Su Jie, Li Hansha, Tang Zichen, and Chan Yinsha, and they too began to act.

Wang Chao, Su Jie, and Li Hansha transformed into three strands of clear air, circling above the manifested head of Sun Shisheng, finally taking the form of three clear lotuses.

Chan Yinsha gave a small smile like plucking a flower, turning into a golden wheel that shone across countless times and spaces, revolving behind the head of Sun Shisheng.

Tang Zichen transformed into an overwhelming righteousness, circling around Sun Shisheng's body, turning into a Confucian robe, and just below it, forming a white lotus that supported the entire manifestation.

At one tremor of chaos, the Son of Chaos involuntarily leapt up, transforming into two primordial energies, touched by a speck of spiritual yang around the manifestation's body, and crystallized into a god-pillar that pierced through time and space.

It was indeed the Jingu Bang!

At the same time, the entire Taixu Illusory Realm seemed to sense the manifestation of Sun Shisheng, solidifying into a Bodhi seed, which then grew into a towering Bodhi tree, covering Sun Shisheng.

Each leaf on the tree was a piece of wisdom!

The essence of imprisonment manifested at that moment, captured and refined by Sun Shisheng's manifestation, returning it to all beings.

In the void beyond time!

After who knows how long, the essence of imprisonment was finally refined by Sun Shisheng, and the enormous manifestation split at that instant, re-transforming into Wang Chao, Su Jie, Li Hansha, Tang Zichen, Chan Yinsha, Chaos, the Son of Chaos, and the beings inside the Taixu Illusory Realm.

The Taixu Illusory Realm, at last, had transformed from illusion to reality!

"The name 'Taixu Illusory Realm' is no longer suitable," Sun Shisheng said with a slight smile to everyone, "how about changing its name?"

"That sounds good," Wang Chao was the first to speak, "how about calling it the Realm of Wukong?"

"Not flattering at all," Sun Shisheng shook his head.

"Name it using the Innate Five Greats: Tai Yi, Tai Chu, Tai Shi, Tai Su, Tai Ji, allowing it to change with the eras," proposed Li Hansha more seriously.

"No good, all things renew, which is natural, but this endless flow of change is not quite suitable for the name of a cosmos," Sun Shisheng didn't quite like these five names, "but it could work for summarizing the development of an era."

Su Jie said, "All things originate from the mind, from imagination. How about calling it 'Realm of the Mind'?"

Chan Yinsha nodded, "I think that works."

Tang Zichen also agreed, "The character 'Heart' is suitable, but 'Realm of the Mind' seems a bit lengthy. How about something simpler, just 'Heart Realm'? Whatever the mind thinks, whatever the mind wishes, even the myriad realms can be born within it!"

"Fine, let's call it 'Heart Realm,' easy to understand," Sun Shisheng was delighted, "the only limit to the development of the Heart Realm is the imagination of sentient beings, which requires your efforts."

Having said that, Sun Shisheng's figure gradually faded away.

"Sun..."

Wang Chao called out, "Are you leaving?"

"Although all beings have not yet truly achieved it, in the Realm of the Heart, various intelligent beings can communicate and understand each other, and that's enough."

Sun Shisheng knew that making everyone experience others was impossible, but as long as there was a common ideational recognition, that all intelligent beings were one kind, it would enable cooperation and communication among each other.

That was enough.

In a sense, Jiang Li's Infinite Path was the same, except he made the thoughts of all beings completely unified, while what Sun Shisheng did was simply to unify in recognition.

A bit more humanized.
