Chapter 317: Chapter 273: Who Is It Really_2

Based on your simulation experience, Zhou Kao is the reincarnation of the Dark Demon God, and many of you also say that the Buddha of the West and Buddha Wutian have been possessed by Luo Hou.

That is to say, both Tianzhu and the Buddha Sect are standing opposite to Hong Jun, and Hong Jun and Luo Hou are arch-enemies, so how can they possibly conspire with them?

Therefore, we can rule out the theory that he is the Fate Demon God."

Wú Liáng Shū Shàng: "But for the Fate Demon God, all beings are chess pieces, and Luo Hou is no exception."

"Hey, it’s becoming more and more chaotic." Sun Wukong read these replies seriously. Whenever the stance of Hong Jun is discussed, netizens always start arguing, unable to determine whether Hong Jun is good or bad.

Subsequent replies also involve such arguments, but some offer perspectives that are worth noting.

Hèi Black Yi Jian: "Let’s not worry about Hong Jun’s identity for now, I’ve always believed there’s a problem with the Heavenly Dao, that the Heavenly Dao is biased. The various calamities are created by the Heavenly Dao to monopolize this world, rather than by Hong Jun’s doing.

Although Hong Jun has gained a lot from the repeated calamities, he has also done quite a bit for the Vast Wilderness.

For example, destroying Luo Hou, organizing the three thousand laws, passing down the immortal dao, and setting the order of the Vast Wilderness. Even during the later Witch-Demon calamity and the Divine Enthronement calamity, it was he who cleaned up the mess.

To me, he seems like a world repairer, wanting to improve the realm of Vast Wilderness, but with more will than power, can only barely maintain the current state."

Bái Māo: "The Heavenly Dao has developed selfish desires, wanting to dominate the whole world, and Hong Jun’s merging with the dao is actually to counterbalance the Heavenly Dao, which makes a lot of sense."

"Hmm, it does make sense." Sun Wukong thought to himself, but he still didn’t draw a conclusion, knowing that even the netizens couldn’t stop arguing, so he had to find out the truth.

He then looked at other replies.

Jin Qiming Xiàn: "I thought of a problem, the Young White Dragon also has a status similar to that of the current leader of the Dragon Race, right? Would there be a power struggle when the old ancestors really come back?"

Gǎn Jǐn Bào "Definitely, the Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, and the Primordial Kirin were once the overlords of the Vast Wilderness, especially the Ancestral Dragon, who I think has the greatest ambition.

Now that he’s regained his freedom, if he sees the decline of the Dragon Race and the Human Race becoming the new overlord, he will definitely have thoughts."

Dáwǎ Duōjí: "If he has thoughts, just deal with him. Honestly, the return of the three Innate Beast Gods is very likely to support the West, which has a big impact on the Han Empire, because the relationship between the Dragon, Feng, and Kirin Races and the Human Race is too close now."

Anonymous User Fifty-One: "If possible, kill all three of them and refine them into a treasure that can control the three races, and then you’ll have a bunch of minions."

Qiǎn Qiǎn Zǐ Yù: "That’s a bad idea. Brother Monkey is not looking for minions, but for helpers.

Besides, with his identity, he can easily have a bunch of subordinates. Those humans from the Dragon Race, Feng Race, and Kirin Race are just struggling on, hardly making any impact."

Yìng Lóng in the Sky: "Hmm... the Dragon Race is still okay. Brother Monkey should save the Dragon Race, can’t let the Ancestral Dragon take the Dragon Race to the Western camp,

From the current point of view, the Kirin’s child has run off to Tianzhu, Yuan Feng’s two children, one disappeared, and the great Roc is with the Tianzhu side, so only the Dragon Race can be saved."

Gu Liangfeng: "We should say to save the Dragons of the Eastern Sea, Northern Sea, and the land. The Southern Sea Dragon Race and Western Sea Dragon Race, these two lackeys, have long since fled to the West."

[You have received a new suggestion: Save the Dragons of the Eastern Sea, Northern Sea, and the land from being led by the Ancestral Dragon to the West, completing the suggestion will grant you a seventh-level treasure chest.]

"It seems I need to take precautions." Sun Wukong already had a plan in mind, and this was a good opportunity to see what stance the Ancestral Dragon truly had.

At this time, Wang Shu was still in the Ancestral Martial Palace and had not left.

Seeing Sun Wukong silent, she thought the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, who stirred up the situation in the Three Realms, was contemplating, so she did not disturb him and quietly waited by the side.

Sun Wukong scratching his ears and cheeks one moment and falling into deep thought the next made her find the situation amusing.

Suddenly, Sun Wukong laughed and said, "Wang Shu, since you trust this old Sun, no matter what the situation is in the future, I hope we can advance and retreat together."

Wang Shu smiled brightly: "Indeed, we should."

Sun Wukong continued, "Now that many reincarnations of the Demon Gods are awakening, I wonder if you, Wang Shu, would be willing to travel around and recruit some useful people for the Han Empire?"

Wang Shu immediately agreed and left the Ancestral Martial Palace.

Sun Wukong then summoned Ao Lie and bestowed upon him many magical treasures, instructing him to wait in the Eastern Sea.

Ao Lie understood the intention behind his master’s gift of treasures, but he did not refuse, having already made a choice in his heart. Compared to his bloodline ancestors, he was more willing to trust the master who had changed his fate.

...

The Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, and the Prime Qilin had just resurfaced in the world and the commotion had yet to subside.

They saw these three massive figures soaring through the Three Realms and heading unanimously towards the west, finally arriving at Mount Ling.

In a side hall of the Great Thunder Monastery, they met Luo Hou, who bore the likeness of the Tathagata Buddha.

At this moment, the Ancestral Dragon had taken the form of a man in a black robe, Yuan Feng had become a beautiful woman, and the Prime Qilin had transformed into a handsome young man.

Luo Hou was the first to speak, laughing lightly, "Congratulations to the three of you on being reborn."

With pride, the Ancestral Dragon asked, "Who are you?"

Luo Hou replied, "My name is Shakyamuni, the Tathagata Buddha of the Western Buddha Sect."

The Ancestral Dragon was disdainful; he had never even heard of such a figure thus did not wish to engage in much conversation with this junior.

Yuan Feng frowned and said, "I sense the presence of my child in you."

Luo Hou nodded, "Kong Xuan once swallowed me whole, saving my life, and the Great Peng is a Protector Venerable of my Buddha Sect."

A smile appeared on Yuan Feng’s face; her two children were alright, and that was enough for her.

The Prime Qilin then asked, "This place was once Luo Hou’s Mount Meru, but looking at it now, covered in golden light and auspicious colors, it seems to be a place of righteousness."

"Why then would the Heavenly Dao make a pact with us, asking for our assistance with the Tianzhu royal family? Such behavior hardly seems forthright."

Before Luo Hou could answer, the shadow that seemed non-existent appeared out of thin air.

The shadow’s voice, ethereal, chuckled, "How have you been, fellow Daoists?"

The Ancestral Dragon sneered, "How have we been? Why don’t you try being suppressed for so long and suffer the torture of piercing agony every day?

And who are you, vermin, to address me as a fellow Daoist?"

Yuan Feng and the Prime Qilin were also curious; they didn’t share the Ancestral Dragon’s arrogance but were very cautious.

They had recently awakened from their suppressed state and had received a message from the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao had offered them a way out of their predicament, and for the sake of freedom, they had to temporarily set aside their dignity and choose to serve the Heavenly Dao, driven by the West.

Hearing the Ancestral Dragon’s haughty words, the shadow wasn’t annoyed but still laughed, "You should thank me, for I am the one who released you."

The Ancestral Dragon’s expression changed, "Who are you, really?"

Yuan Feng’s brows slightly furrowed, "We were suppressed by the Heavenly Dao. Anyone who could command the Heavenly Dao...could you be Hong Jun?"

The shadow laughed without answering.

The Prime Qilin said solemnly, "Speak clearly, what exactly do you want us to do?"

The voice of the shadow was as if coming from nowhere, "The pact we signed before made it clear, help Tianzhu win the contest for the Fortune of Humanity, and you will be truly free; otherwise, you will continue to be suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, with no hope of seeing the light of day."

The faces of the Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, and the Prime Qilin were grim, but they had no choice.

One must bow their head under the eaves of another’s roof, especially when facing an existence capable of commanding the Heavenly Dao of the Vast Wilderness!

The shadow continued, "Since there are no other questions, go now and rally your respective kin."

The three Innate Divine Beasts, despite their reluctance, dared not defy the order and could only accept the command and leave.

After they had left, the shadow laughed, "These three, they are all so arrogantly self-assured, surely chafing at this situation.

I am quite eager to see how they would react if they were to learn your true identity in the end."

Luo Hou, bearing the appearance of the Tathagata Buddha, stood with one hand raised, his face full of compassion.

It was he who had secretly instigated the great war among the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans in the ancient calamity, resulting in the Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, and the Prime Qilin being suppressed by the Heavenly Dao.

One could say these three Innate Divine Beasts would certainly harbor a deadly hatred for him.
