Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

It doesn't matter whether it's amazement, jealousy, or reluctance; it won't change the fact that the Heavenly Emperor's inheritance has been obtained by someone. Very soon, everyone was enveloped by a force of space-time and transported out of the Heavenly Que Realm.

The news of Sun Wukong obtaining the Heavenly Emperor's inheritance quickly spread throughout the Yuan Realm, with all major forces in the Four Continents discussing him and speculating about his future.

"Have you heard? Someone obtained the Heavenly Emperor's inheritance of the Ancient Heavenly Court in the Heavenly Que Realm this time!"

"Of course, I've heard. It's a guy named Sun Wukong, reportedly from the Battle God Ape Clan. Incredible! The Battle God Ape Clan has been dormant for so many years, and now they've made such an earth-shattering appearance. The Demon Clan might be about to change!"

"It's not just the Demon Clan; the entire Yuan Realm might change! The Ancient Heavenly Court was the most powerful force ruling the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths in the ancient times of the Yuan Realm. To receive the Heavenly Emperor's inheritance, who knows how powerful this Sun Wukong will become! With such a powerful clan member, the Battle God Ape Clan might very well become the number one race in the Yuan Realm; it's only a matter of time."

"I heard that this Sun Wukong isn't native to our Yuan Realm but ascended from a lower small world, and there are others like him who ascended from the same small world. They've all entered the Heavenly Emperor's Treasure Vault, and their strength is astonishing. Even the Thunder God of the Southern Continent was pulverized by a guy named Six-Eared Macaque!"

"I heard that too! What kind of small world is it that could suddenly produce so many experts? It's unbelievable! Perhaps the sky of the Yuan Realm really is about to change?"

The onlookers watched the spectacle, while the insiders understood the implications. As soon as the news of Sun Wukong obtaining the Heavenly Emperor's inheritance from the Ancient Heavenly Court in the Heavenly Que Realm spread, both the Undying Heavenly Demon Clan and the Battle God Ape Clan quickly reacted.

The most explosive news was that the long-secluded Undying Heavenly Demon Emperor and the Battle God Monkey Emperor both emerged and battled over Heavenly Demon City. Both being super-powerful Domain Saint Realm experts, no one could observe the battle, and the specifics are unknown, but the defensive barriers of Heavenly Demon City were almost destroyed by the terrifying forces from above. The forest within a hundred miles around Heavenly Demon City was leveled, leaving only the city standing alone.

After the battle, the Undying Heavenly Demon Emperor took residence in Heavenly Demon City, and the Battle God Monkey Emperor announced the Battle God Ape Clan's official return. Fierce clashes erupted between the two clans in various parts of the Tiandou Great Forest.

Suddenly, the usually low-key Primordial Spirit Alliance became high-profile. Mu Yin, the Great Hall Master of the Eastern Continent's Primordial Spirit Alliance, openly announced that Sun Wukong was a member of the Primordial Spirit Alliance. For a time, the alliance became highly sought after in the Yuan Realm, with experts from all sides rushing to join.

Besides the frequent moves from various forces, Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and others also took action. They did not return to their respective sects but gathered together, choosing a mountain rich in Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to establish the Demon Court.

In Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor's words, they couldn't always wait for Sun Wukong to accomplish everything. Since there was already an idea to develop the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court in the Yuan Realm, now was the perfect opportunity. Before Sun Wukong had completed accepting the inheritance in the Heavenly Que Realm, they should first establish the sect. As soon as Sun Wukong appeared, they would establish the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court in the Yuan Realm immediately!

The emergence of the Demon Court undoubtedly touched the interests of many forces. Quite a few came to cause trouble but were all repelled by Six-Eared Macaque and others, gradually spreading the fierce reputation of the Demon Court in the Yuan Realm, with fewer forces daring to challenge them.

Unaware of everything happening outside, Sun Wukong, who was in the Heavenly Emperor's Secret Realm, did not awaken until more than half a year later.

During the Fifth Level, the attempt to reverse the Chaos Decision nearly destroyed the meridians of his external incarnation, injuring Sun Wukong's main body as well. Coupled with the mirror image's ultimate move bombardment, Sun Wukong's injuries were much more severe than expected, and it took more than half a year to fully recover, even with the Chaos Battle Body's recovery abilities.

After half a year, Sun Wukong finally opened his eyes in the Heavenly Emperor's Secret Realm.

"Where is this place?"

Sun Wukong looked around with some confusion. The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi here was extremely abundant, even more so than in the Heavenly Que Realm, but it appeared to be just a courtyard garden with nothing particularly special.

"I remember something about a Heavenly Emperor's Secret Realm; could this be that Heavenly Emperor's Secret Realm?"

A dark golden light flashed in Sun Wukong's eyes as he scrutinized everything around, noticing a hall at the front of the courtyard emitting a strange glow. In a flash, he flew over.

"Inheritor, you have finally appeared!"

As Sun Wukong pushed open the hall door and entered, a figure manifested in the main hall, wearing an Emperor's Crown, with a face like jade and full of a supreme aura looking down on all living beings.

However, Sun Wukong was not moved by this kingly aura, as the Jade Emperor had a similar presence, which he was entirely accustomed to. Moreover, he didn't think this aura had any use beyond being intimidating.

"Are you the Ancient Heavenly Emperor?"

Sun Wukong realized that the figure was just a lingering thought, its true form likely having long since vanished in the river of time.

"Indeed, I am the Heavenly Emperor Qian Yuan. You are the inheritor I have chosen!"

The Heavenly Emperor's remnant nodded and sternly proclaimed, "As my inheritor, you must bow and kowtow thrice to me, inheriting my will to recreate the glory of my Heavenly Court!"

"Bow and kowtow to you? Have you been dead so long that your brain is addled?"

Sun Wukong frowned upon hearing this, "I, Old Sun, only bow to my mentors and heaven and earth, never to others. You are just a remnant of a soul, and you want Old Sun to kowtow to you? Ridiculous!"

"Insolent!"

The Heavenly Emperor's remnant glared at Sun Wukong, and the entire hall was suddenly engulfed in a terrifying storm of chaos, wrapping Sun Wukong inside as if to tear him to pieces, "I am the Heavenly Emperor, and you dare to be so disrespectful to me?"

"Heavenly Emperor my ass!"

Sun Wukong snorted coldly, exuding a resolute pride, "Even if you were the real Ancient Heavenly Emperor, don't think Old Sun would bow to you! Others may covet your inheritance, but Old Sun does not! If you wish to pass it on, then do so; if not, then forget it!"

Sun Wukong's nature is always to rather break than bend. The Heavenly Emperor's inheritance might be tempting, but he would rather forsake it than trade his dignity for it!
