As these words were spoken.
Countless living beings in the three realms of the Primordial Era were once again shocked, each showing varying degrees of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
The Heavenly Dao merits and Journey to the West merits that Sun Kong obtained were even more than those of Jiang Ziya during the Investiture of the Gods calamity.
As if compared to Jiang Ziya.
He, Sun Kong, was the true son of fortune who conformed to the will of Heaven and the hearts of men.
This way.
It was even more stimulating and earth-shattering this time!
However.
Just as everyone was discussing this matter, Sun Kong, the person involved, did not show much joy. After accepting the two hundred Heavenly Dao merits and twenty thousand Journey to the West merits, he
casually asked the system.
"System, how far am I from breaking through to the peak of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal?"
The system's reply was also very straightforward!
[Ding! Although the host has comprehended advanced ways of courting death and performed brilliantly in the second trial of Journey to the West, he is still not enough to break through to the peak.]
[Please continue to work hard.]
[Ding! Given that the host has shocked the Six Saints and others too much this time, and has greatly altered the karma of Journey to the West, multiple elixirs, divine abilities, spells, and spiritual treasures are hereby awarded.]
[If the host is impatient to listen, you can choose a one-time fusion opportunity. If you further utilize the power of the 'Earth Book', you can fuse a spiritual treasure similar to the Gatling of Journey to the West.]
[However, as this reward is not as good as the fusion of the Gatling of Journey to the West, the fusion result will be between a semi-innate supreme treasure and a top-grade spiritual treasure, with a 50% success rate. Please consider carefully.]
Hearing this, Sun Kong was shocked himself. He had thought that this time, by teaming up with He Xiangu, Guangchengzi, Feng'er, and Huang'er, and sending out Wu Zhiqi and Zhou Wuxian,
it was the first time he had mobilized on such a large scale after his transmigration, changing the karma of many people and shocking the Six Saints and others.
He should have received a considerable reward.
But he did not expect that.
According to the system, the greatest possibility was to fuse a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, and it was unlikely to fuse a second Gatling of Journey to the West?
If he had known this earlier.
Why would he have racked his brains like this?
He might as well have dealt with Zhen Yuanzi himself. This system is becoming more and more stingy. He even fought a Quasi-Saint of the middle grade and won once, yet he didn't directly reward him with a semi-innate supreme treasure?
Sun Kong was very unhappy in his heart.
But on second thought, he couldn't entirely blame the system. There were at least two reasons.
First, it becomes more difficult to improve with each minor realm. Five hundred years ago, he was just a Taiyi Golden Immortal monkey demon.
Later, he consecutively broke through to the lower grade and middle grade of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal. He himself was not satisfied, but if it were revealed, it would make many people envious to death.
Not to mention others.
Take Guangchengzi, who contributed significantly this time. During the Investiture of the Gods calamity, his peak was only the lower grade of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.
He was also the only Daluo among the twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect.
Later, after being weakened by the Nine-Bend Yellow River Array, he fell all the way to Golden Immortal, and then recovered to the lower grade of Taiyi Golden Immortal as before.
This took tens of millions of years.
How could it compare to Sun Kong breaking through again in five hundred years?
Second, it was the threshold. As the Journey to the West calamity deepened, to shock everyone to the same effect as when he broke through to the lower grade of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.
The ability of everyone to be shocked had to be taken into account.
Simply put, it was like the "critical hit" concept in games in the Blue Star spacetime. It was easy to improve from 1 to 10 in the early stage, and the critical hit effect would be more astonishing.
But in the mid-game and late-game, to go from 10 to 100, it was not something that could be achieved with one or two shocks.
Because the threshold had increased!
To achieve his goal, to shock everyone to a sufficient extent, he had to proceed from two aspects.
One was to increase the degree of shock, change more karma, court more death, and be more frightening.
The second was to increase the frequency of shock. The second trial was nothing, and challenging Zhen Yuanzi, a middle-grade Quasi-Saint, was also nothing. He had to increase his efforts, continue to court death, and continue to shock!
"The former is not easy. Where can one find things that change karma everywhere?"
"The latter is more achievable. Well, let's just say I had too high expectations for myself. From now on, I will continue to court death, continue to shock, and continue to change karma."
"If one time doesn't work, then two times. If two times don't work, then a hundred times. I refuse to believe that with all ninety-nine trials in my mind, anyone can escape my calculations!"
Thinking of this, Sun Kong's mood improved considerably.
In the following time.
Apart from briefly exchanging pleasantries with Jin Chanzi and Huang'er Yin Wenjiao, asking about their injuries and whether they were alright, and other minor matters,
it was also because in the original plot, the key juncture of the second and third trials, Liu Hong, had been dealt with by him in advance.
He was gone.
This made things a bit awkward.
But Sun Kong was worthy of being Sun Kong. Seeing that Liu Hong was gone, Jin Chanzi and Huang'er Yin Wenjiao, his mother, could no longer wait to be threatened by Liu Hong before placing Jin Chanzi in a wooden basin and letting him drift with the current.
Naturally.
It was even more impossible, as stated in "Journey to the West," for her to
bite off her finger, write a blood letter, and record the names of her parents, their origins, and their details;
then bite off the little toe of the child's left foot as a token.
Take a personal sweat-soaked shirt, wrap the child in it, and carry the child out of the yamen.
Use a wooden basin to throw the child into the river.
But since the Heavenly Dao did not react to Liu Hong's death, perhaps the third trial after the second trial could indeed be completed smoothly.
"Might as well do it. Anyway, the Heavenly Dao didn't object, and Liu Hong is truly gone and will never return."
"Isn't I, Sun Kong, worried about not changing enough karma and not getting enough rewards? This is a good opportunity to do another trick."
Thinking thus.
Sun Kong immediately discussed with the two and personally helped Huang'er Yin Wenjiao, who had just become a mother, to prepare properly.
Biting off a finger was not difficult.
Writing a blood letter to record relevant information was also not too difficult.
The only difficult part was whether to bite off Jin Chanzi's little toe on his left foot.
Jin Chanzi himself was absolutely against it.
Huang'er Yin Wenjiao, feeling pity for this "son," could not bear to do it.
However, Sun Kong did not have so many concerns. Seeing that everyone who should have left had left, and those who should have dispersed had dispersed, he did not want to stay here any longer. He had to return to the New Huaguo Mountain as soon as possible.
To control the overall situation.
For this reason, Sun Kong had to take the place of Huang'er Yin Wenjiao and ruthlessly bite off Jin Chanzi's little toe on his left foot, causing the latter to cry out in pain.
Just as Jin Chanzi was wrapped up, placed in a wooden basin, and prepared to be cast into the river by Huang'er Yin Wenjiao.
The expected third trial of being thrown into the river after a full moon did not immediately complete.
Instead, there was no reaction!
This scene stunned both Jin Chanzi and Huang'er Yin Wenjiao.
Sun Kong was helpless.
After some calculations, he couldn't help but laugh and cry!
