Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

Hint: Trigger the task "Dignity of the Human Clan". Task requirement: Restore the dignity of the Human Emperor in the world. Success will reward 80 billion Experience Points and receive one Divine Level Treasure Chest (Golden). Task failure will deduct 80 billion Experience Points. Accept/Decline?

As the words of Tianxi Star fell, almost simultaneously, the system prompt sounded.

Hearing this system prompt, Jiang Liu's face involuntarily showed a look of surprise.

80 billion Experience Points? This is the highest reward task I've ever triggered.

And more importantly, a golden Divine Level Treasure Chest as a reward?

A Divine Level Treasure Chest, and the so-called golden quality?

This has never appeared before.

However, although it's the first time encountering it, Jiang Liu knows clearly that this golden quality must be more precious than an ordinary Divine Level Treasure Chest, right?

After all, on the character panel, the golden panel is the highest level.

Also, even among Divine Level Equipment, there are differences in power.

For example, the Inverted Horse Stake of the Scorpion Demon is also Divine Level Equipment.

But compared to the Tai Chi Diagram? Even though they are both Divine Level Equipment, the difference between them is vast as heaven and earth, right?

So, this golden Divine Level Treasure Chest must be able to produce something awesome among divine items or equipment, right?

Of course, although the rewards for this task are generous, the more generous the rewards, the more it indicates the difficulty of the task.

Previously, to abolish the Human Emperor, a great deification calamity was stirred up.

Today, wanting to restore the Human Emperor? It's also a very difficult thing, right?

Therefore, although amazed at this task, Jiang Liu did not recklessly accept it, instead, his gaze fell on King Zhou, and he began to ponder secretly.

The former Human Emperor, ending up in today's situation, if we talk about who in the three realms is the most willing to help overthrow those Immortals and Buddhas, the Tianxi Star before his eyes, who was once King Zhou, is definitely willing to do so, Jiang Liu has no doubt.

But even though Jiang Liu doesn't doubt his intention to overthrow those celestial beings, why would King Zhou, for no reason, come to him and ask for help?

Jiang Liu always feels that this thing is very suspicious.

Firstly, given King Zhou's current status, it's not surprising that he wants to overthrow those Immortals and Buddhas, but the fact that he dares to say such things openly and even personally seeks help, Jiang Liu finds it strange.

The Deification War was so long ago, why is he now taking action?

Secondly, and most importantly, Jiang Liu has never had any dealings with King Zhou, so why did King Zhou suddenly appear to seek his help?

Moreover, how does he know that he will surely help him?

This request, in some sense, is like planning a rebellion.

Without absolute certainty, King Zhou shouldn't be able to say these things.

...

Jiang Liu's mind was racing, while Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie beside him also remained silent, their eyes falling on Jiang Liu.

Even the most reckless Sun Wukong knows how astonishing King Zhou's request is.

Therefore, everyone's gaze was focused on Jiang Liu, waiting for his response.

King Zhou also looked at Jiang Liu without speaking; it made sense for Master Xuanzang to consider such a significant matter deeply.

"Your Majesty King Zhou!"

After a long silence, Jiang Liu's eyes fell on King Zhou; he did not call him Tianxi Star but directly addressed him as King Zhou, saying, "Your intention is to have me help you restore the Human Emperor, so that matters of the Human Realm are governed by the Human Emperor and no longer under the control of the Heavenly Court?"

"Yes!" King Zhou nodded seriously.

"Do you know how difficult it is to achieve this?" After a brief silence, Jiang Liu followed up with a question.

"I know!" King Zhou nodded heavily.

"Do you have confidence?"

"No!"

"You should know that achieving this is almost like opposing the entire Heavenly Court. Do you have the power to counter the Heavenly Court?"

"I do not!"

"You have neither the power to counter the Heavenly Court nor confidence, yet you want to oppose the Heavenly Court and restore the Human Emperor?" Frowning, Jiang Liu wondered if King Zhou had suddenly lost his mind. Isn't this a fool's dream?

"I know, to the Holy Monk, my words sound like madness!" Although Jiang Liu did not show any particular reaction, King Zhou could roughly guess what he was thinking and spoke up.

"You even know this about yourself!" King Zhou's words made Jiang Liu roll his eyes secretly, harboring his own private complaints in his heart.

"However, coming to the Holy Monk today with this question is certainly not a shot in the dark!" King Zhou said.

"I'm willing to listen in detail!" Listening to King Zhou's words, Jiang Liu nodded.

This is indeed what Jiang Liu wants to inquire about; without any reason, why seek him to help in rebellion? What is the reason behind this?

"Actually, it was the Kongdong Seal's guidance that led me to seek you, Holy Monk!" King Zhou replied.

"The guidance of the Kongdong Seal?" Jiang Liu was slightly taken aback, naturally recalling the Kongdong Seal he had seen earlier at Emperor Ziwei's place.

"Yes, in my dream, I received the guidance of the Kongdong Seal, directing me to seek the Holy Monk, wishing to reestablish the Human Emperor. Under the heavens, it seems only Master Xuanzang can assist with this!"

King Zhou earnestly stared at Jiang Liu, explaining the guidance he received in his dream from the Kongdong Seal.

"So, that's how it is!" Hearing King Zhou's explanation, Jiang Liu nodded in realization, indicating his understanding.

No wonder King Zhou would come to find him, even requesting his aid in overthrowing the rule of the countless Immortals and Buddhas.

As it turns out, the root of everything lies in this.

The Kongdong Seal is the supreme treasure of the Human Clan, concerning the destiny of the Human Clan. With King Zhou receiving guidance in his dream from the Kongdong Seal, naturally, he held immense trust in it.

Is this quest difficult?

The reward of 80 billion Experience Points clearly shows just how challenging this quest is.

But, can this quest be taken on!?

Jiang Liu's original aim was to go to the Western Spirit Mountain and overthrow the rule of the Immortals and Buddhas. Although this task is difficult, it is something he originally wanted to do, isn't it?

Since that's the case, what's stopping him from accepting it?

Although this is a passive quest and the deduction of 80 billion Experience Points would be quite severe for a failed attempt on his end.

However, if he fails in the ultimate battle, survival is uncertain, so what does the deduction of 80 billion Experience Points matter?

After a moment of silent contemplation in his heart, Jiang Liu directly accepted the quest.

At the same time, he nodded towards King Zhou and said: "As it is, I shall accept King Zhou's request!"

"You really agreed!?" Hearing Jiang Liu nod in agreement, King Zhou widened his eyes in surprise.

Although he received guidance from the Kongdong Seal, believing he should be able to get Master Xuanzang's help.

Yet, his request of Master Xuanzang was quite astonishing; would he really agree?

Honestly, King Zhou didn't have much confidence at all.

Yet, unexpectedly, Master Xuanzang actually agreed? This left King Zhou in a momentary daze, a bit unwilling to believe his ears.

"What? Do you not hope for my agreement?" Seeing King Zhou so surprised, Jiang Liu smiled slightly and asked back.

"No, no, it's not like that!" Hearing Jiang Liu's words, King Zhou hurriedly waved his hands, shaking his head.

"I wonder, does Master Xuanzang have any combat strategy?" Following Jiang Liu's agreement, King Zhou then curiously asked Jiang Liu.

To reestablish the Human Emperor? Obviously, the Great Jade Emperor would absolutely not agree, and by then, a battle with the Heavenly Court would be inevitable.

Since Master Xuanzang has agreed, he must have some consideration, right?

How to reestablish the Human Emperor? King Zhou had no ideas at all, but what method could Master Xuanzang have?

King Zhou was very curious.

"A combat strategy?" Hearing King Zhou's inquiry, Jiang Liu thought for a moment and then said, "It's simple, the strategy is to fight!"

"What? That's it?" Expecting Jiang Liu to elaborate, King Zhou was left stunned by such a response, staring blankly at Jiang Liu.

"Yes, it's just that simple! When the time comes, just act!" Nodding, Jiang Liu said matter-of-factly.

"Isn't this too direct? Isn't there a suitable strategy?" King Zhou's mouth twitched slightly.

The Kongdong Seal guided him here to seek Master Xuanzang's help, suggesting there was hope for success; otherwise, why would the Kongdong Seal point him here?

But now, what kind of answer is this from Master Xuanzang?

No strategy, just going head-to-head?

Why does this Master Xuanzang seem somewhat unreliable?

Is it just his misconception?

"A suitable strategy? When the gap in power reaches a certain extent, strategies are useless. The only thing that matters is combat! A contest of strength!" Jiang Liu shook his head in response to King Zhou's words.

Yes, a strategy? If a strategy alone could topple the countless Immortals and Buddhas, then what is the point of all these years of cultivating desperately?

"True! The Holy Monk speaks sensibly!" Hearing Jiang Liu's words, King Zhou nodded in agreement.

But, even acknowledging this logic, King Zhou still felt that such a direct response seemed somewhat unreliable.

"Thus, I must thank the Holy Monk nonetheless!"

Even if it seemed unreliable, at least it was far more promising than his own hope, and so, after a moment of silence, King Zhou expressed his gratitude to Jiang Liu.

Subsequently, Jiang Liu and King Zhou added each other as friends, agreeing to communicate if needed.

Only then did King Zhou turn and leave the Exquisite Immortal Mansion.
