In short, it was Zhu Zhengwei's first time encountering such an easy opportunity to fleece the sheep.

The Tang Monk is indeed a great benevolent person. The fellows he met before were all rotten to the core, without any morals, so how could they be morally blackmailed?

It's not easy to come across someone with morals.

This made Zhu Zhengwei feel gratified, as he finally experienced tricking someone, rather than being tricked.

"You did very well. As for the territory of that Polk civilization, you should continue to work hard to develop it," Zhu Zhengwei said.

"Yes."

The Queen of Xiliang slowly retreated.

Zhu Zhengwei sat in place, pondering as he observed everything in the Wuzhuang Temple and began to reflect again.

"Qingfeng, Bright Moon, come over and tell me about the developments over the years," Zhu Zhengwei gently spoke.

As he spoke, two Daoist Children slowly walked out and glanced at each other, "Welcome back, Master... Are you satisfied with the current situation?"

What does this mean?

Does it mean that the transformation of Wuzhuang Temple was his own directive?

The two Daoist Children, Qingfeng and Bright Moon, were clearly part of the world view background rapidly generated with the re-expansion of the world, belonging to the Primordial Chaos Cosmos background.

One must be cautious in dealing with them to avoid revealing any flaws.

Qingfeng, however, recognized the aura of his master, and without any defenses, he respectfully said, "To provoke that pesky monkey, the two of us put in a lot of effort, and he indeed fell for it. Not only did he attack us, but he even destroyed the Ginseng Fruit Tree, allowing us to extort those bald monks of Buddhism."

His words were filled with endless pride, "That Tianpeng also did a good job, inciting the monkey to smash things all over the place. No wonder the Celestial Court chose him for this, he's quite a good opportunist, earning a favor this time."

Zhu Zhengwei: "..."

The amount of information seems a bit overwhelming.

In Journey to the West, Qingfeng and Bright Moon indeed crazily mocked Sun Wukong... so with the rationalization of the current worldview, was it intentional?

Is this truly a darkened Journey to the West Mythology?

But thinking about it makes sense too.

Randomly, a mount or a child of a celestial being can defeat Sun Wukong, causing him to seek help from heaven, and even the little rabbit in Chang'e's arms as the Jade Rabbit Spirit could fight with Wukong.

Why is it that Immortal Zhenyuan's two Daoist Children start out like novel villains, mindlessly provoking and mocking, then immediately get beaten by Sun Wukong, running with heads in hands? Various screams?

According to the setting, Zhenyuanzi is much more powerful than some other beings, and it's indeed unreasonable for the Daoist Children under him not to understand etiquette and be so weak as to be brutally beaten, if it was intentional, it would be reasonable.

"It seems letting them be beaten back then was normal... because they were originally just two acting masters!"

The Earth Immortal Dao Ancestor taking the opportunity to extort Buddhism for a game is also the most reasonable explanation.

"Apparently... I haven't been excessive."

Zhu Zhengwei thought to himself, "As expected, along the Journey to the West, others can mess with Sun Wukong, and so can I... even Zhenyuanzi before me was doing it!"

The catastrophe, after all, was meant to challenge Sun Wukong.

As long as the trial is completed, it doesn't matter how it's done.

"Master, did you take that pesky monkey to the Extraterritorial Civilization to expand the territory?" Qingfeng curiously asked, "That's just like it! But isn't that the branch of the Sen Civilization? Once created as a ranch by the Saints for their household."

Bright Moon was displeased, "Qingfeng, what do you mean? Master is one of the most ancient beings, how could he not know... it's normal to take advantage of one or two ranches... after all, many ranches were left in the universe."

"After all, opening the world of the Primordial Chaos required swallowing a large amount of material... Once we've devoured the entire physical universe, our Primordial Chaos Cosmos can take its place!"

Zhu Zhengwei was taken aback.

With the complete formation of the Primordial Chaos worldview and the integration of the Saints' existing wealth and power from the prehistoric Yin Cosmos into this new "Yin Cosmos," it's revealed that...

The Primordial Chaos Cosmos inherited the major factions of those beings, with many regions of the reality cosmos already laid out for them? Is the widespread Sen Civilization their handiwork?

"If that's the case, then it's even more troublesome," Zhu Zhengwei pondered, supporting his chin, "It seems the former Dream World Cosmos intended to devour the real cosmos as a creation plan to become the new universe!"

"The present Primordial Chaos Cosmos is replacing the reality cosmos."

He had already guessed.

It is the expansion of his own Dream World Cosmos that awakened these ancient beings, allowing them to reclaim the dark side cosmos and reality, rapidly restoring their past peak power.

However, as they regained their peak, he remained a weakling...

The disparity between them is too large!

Right now, the two Daoist Children began arguing incessantly.

"Master should indeed deceive that pesky monkey into doing labor, making him suffer on that barren land!" said Qingfeng.

Bright Moon replied, "What I care about isn't that, but the Queen of Xiliang, Master, how did you get involved with the Queen of Xiliang?"

"Indeed, Master, how did you let the Queen of Xiliang snatch the next catastrophe and the opportunity of Lady Bai Gu? It was supposed to be her stage, assisting that wandering 'Celestial Dao Embryo' to continue to grow," Qingfeng added, "This way, the reputation of our Wuzhuang Temple won't be good."

"You two stop arguing, I naturally have my intentions."

Zhu Zhengwei casually replied while still contemplating.

Their meaning is that I could exploit Sun Wukong, with his enormous backing as a "human-shaped Celestial Dao"... but I can't afford to bully Lady Bai Gu, who has no backing? Would bullying her cause problems?

He continued to listen to the two chatter.

Quickly, he understood the true layout of the Journey to the West.

The Journey to the West is a series of eighty-one tournaments!

Everyone wants to compete for a disaster, a tournament, to seize a bit of fortune.

Each tournament stand is occupied by the strong; those who are strong seize it, following strict tournament rules.

However, it's apparent that certain relations covered some tournament slots...

The rest are truly occupied by the strong.

Without connections, even the most powerful stand their ground with solid combat power, truly fair and square, relying on their abilities to seize the luck of this disaster's new blood.

"However, these unbacked monsters, to seize opportunities, endure life-or-death struggles, with contemporary geniuses from the Primordial Chaos era competing for these tournaments!"

"This is a great age of Journey to the West tournaments, selecting the elite of the Primordial Chaos era, propelling the next era under the Journey to the West, leading to the birth of a new Celestial Dao!"

"But even these unbacked geniuses, though winning a tournament stand, resisting Sun Wukong's staff isn't easy; being a punching bag isn't simple, and without backing, it's too easy to be beaten to death..."

Those beaten to death are unbacked monsters.

In the future, Lady Bai Gu will be one of them.

But that's also the issue he himself must face.

"Qingfeng and Bright Moon say that even though I targeted Sun Wukong so harshly, it's not crossing the line; this is normal and permissible... rather, targeting an unbacked Lady Bai Gu broke the unspoken rules... it needs to be dealt with afterward."

Zhu Zhengwei took a deep breath, "Originally, I thought bullying a Lady Bai Gu was easy, as Zhenyuanzi isn't someone she could provoke, so I set up the Three Battles with the White Bone Spirit, using her guilt to work for me... but who knew it was the weakest link and became problematic."

Zhu Zhengwei stood up and said, "I indeed overstepped by grabbing her spot... I must go to Wanzi Mountain and meet Lady Bai Gu to make up for the causality."
