Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong
Chapter 796 - 797: Gifting the Chaos Fire Seed (Third Update!)

"Wukong, my brother, I thank you on behalf of the countless beings of the Chaos Void for ridding them of such a great scourge!"

With both hands clasped in a fist, Pangu gave Sun Wukong a very solemn bow.

"This won’t do, this won’t do! Brother Pangu, you’re really embarrassing me!"

Sun Wukong quickly reached out to lift Pangu up; this great god was an ancestral figure of the entire Three Realms, how could he, as a junior, dare to accept such a great bow from Pangu!

"Brother Pangu, I am but a junior to you, there’s no need to be so polite!"

Sun Wukong’s words left Pangu utterly confused, "Junior? What junior?"

"That’s…"

Sun Wukong stroked his chin. The words had slipped out in haste, and if he were to tell Pangu the truth, what kind of impact would it have on the future? Could it possibly change what was to come?

After some thought, Sun Wukong decided to reveal the truth to Pangu. Since he had arrived here, it was the decree of fate. If the future were to change, it likely wouldn’t change for the worse.

To Pangu, knowing the outcome of the future might allow him to avoid that calamity!

"Brother Pangu, don’t be surprised by what I am about to say, but I, Old Sun, am not a person from this era…"

Sun Wukong told Pangu about his origins, the state of the Three Realms after endless years, and legends concerning the Ancient Era. Pangu listened in shock, and after hearing everything, he fell into a profound silence with a serious expression.

"Wukong, my brother, is everything you’ve told me true?"

Pangu’s voice was somewhat deep, as anyone who learns of their own demise is unlikely to be in good spirits.

"It’s true."

Sun Wukong nodded.

"Heh heh!"

Pangu laughed, his laugh tinged with bitterness, "I never imagined that I, Pangu, would meet such an end. Then what’s the point of all my hard work and cultivation?"

Sun Wukong’s brow furrowed, "Brother Pangu, I must disagree with that! It’s true that according to the original course of fate, the Chaos Demon Clan would be eradicated by you, and although you would succeed in challenging the Eye of Heavenly Dao after opening heaven, you would perish from the backlash. But that was the original trajectory of fate!"

"What do you mean?"

Pangu’s brow raised, Sun Wukong’s words carried a deeper meaning!

"What I mean is that fate is not immutable, and the future is not set in stone!"

Sun Wukong said solemnly, "Because of Old Sun’s appearance, the extinction of the Chaos Demon clan happened ahead of time and it wasn’t by your hands that they were eradicated. The Demon Emperor Qiong Yu didn’t die at your hands either! Likewise, now that you know advancing against the Eye of Heavenly Dao with the strength of a Primordial Wuji Da Luo Gold Immortal doesn’t guarantee full success and would result in severe backlash, even if it’s successful, would you still rashly issue a challenge when your strength isn’t sufficient?"

"Right!"

Pangu’s eyes lit up, what Sun Wukong said made sense!

Now that he knew that challenging the Eye of Heavenly Dao with his current Cultivation Strength wouldn’t lead to victory, naturally, he wouldn’t hastily begin the Heaven-Opening before a breakthrough in his Cultivation Strength!

"Wukong, my brother, I understand now, thank you for imparting this wisdom!"

Pangu faced Sun Wukong and clasped his fists in another bow, and this time Sun Wukong didn’t dodge. The advice he had given Pangu might just save Pangu’s life, and even if he was a junior to Pangu, he could accept this bow!

Hum~!

A strong force of attraction came from the Void. Sun Wukong frowned slightly; it was the pull from his original timeline. Since he became a Chaos Saint, this attraction had grown increasingly intense.

Sun Wukong knew in his heart that his original timeline was calling him back. He didn’t have much time left here!

Grinding his teeth, Sun Wukong drew out a third of the Chaos Fire within his body, condensed it in the palm of his hand, and formed a Flame Seed, which he passed to Pangu.

"Brother Pangu, to meet is to be predestined! My coming to this timeline and encountering you is our fate. I give this Chaos Fire Seed to you. I hope you can use it to completely master the Chaos Fire and reach greater heights!"

"You’re truly giving it to me?"

Pangu’s face showed surprise and delight as he took the Flame Seed of the Chaos Fire. The weight in his palm signified that this was no ordinary gift.

"Of course! When I, Old Sun, give my word, it’s as good as gold. If I say I’ll give something away, would there be any falsehood?"

Sun Wukong said with a playful laugh, "Don’t feel embarrassed, Brother Pangu. I know the Chaos Fire is extremely important to you. Whether you can ascend to the rank of Chaos Saint depends on your mastery of this Chaos Fire!"

The attraction from the original timeline was growing rapidly, and Sun Wukong was finding it increasingly difficult to resist. "Brother Pangu, I hope we have the chance to meet again one day!"

Whoosh!

Sun Wukong’s form was pulled by the attraction toward the breach in the spacetime wall and he swiftly flew through it. In the blink of an eye, he was gone, leaving only a reminder echoing in the Chaos Void, "Brother Pangu, don’t forget to claim the treasures in the Demon Emperor’s palace..."

"Pfft!"

Pangu couldn’t help but laugh. "This guy, even as he’s leaving, he’s still thinking about the Demon Emperor’s treasures! He’s really something!"

After a moment of silence in the Chaos Void, Pangu bit the bullet and swallowed the Flame Seed of the Chaos Fire. His eyes filled with a resolute look, "Don’t worry, Brother Wukong, I certainly won’t just die off like you said I might! Wait for me; there will come a day in the future when we will meet again, for sure!"

...

On the other side of the spacetime wall, in Sun Wukong’s original timeline, a figure "swooshed" out from a breach in the spacetime wall—it was Sun Wukong.

And at the moment when Sun Wukong flew out of the breach in the spacetime wall, the breach itself also healed instantaneously, leaving not a single crack to be seen.

"I’m back to this timeline, huh? It seems Old Sun’s previous worries were really unnecessary!"

Chuckling and shaking his head, Sun Wukong had been concerned whether he could return before the spacetime wall’s breach healed, perhaps being left forever in the Ancient Chaos Era. Now it seemed that as someone from this timeline, he could not escape its mark. The stronger his cultivation strength, the more evident the mark became.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Three streaks of light flew out from the Ruyi Qiankun Bag at Sun Wukong’s waist—it was Dragon Cat, Dragon Scorpion, and Vermilion Bird.

"Finally out! I was almost suffocated!"

As soon as Dragon Cat emerged, it took a deep breath as if it has just been rescued. Dragon Scorpion and Vermilion Bird also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, which made Sun Wukong frown. "What’s the matter with you all?"

"What’s the matter? Boss, do you genuinely not know, or are you pretending? We were all trapped by a force inside the Ruyi Qiankun Bag, unable to come out!"
