The Tathāgata Must Fail

Chapter 379: This Is Your Three Realms


Sun Wukong was in Northern Continent when Immortal Zhenyuan was introducing his new product outside the Immortal Literature Hall.

"How does it feel to sit in this flying vehicle crafted from my life's dedication?"

He asked the surrounding immortals.

The immortals looked puzzled; aside from being more colorful, these flying vehicles looked no different from those in the era of Wanling Country.

"You must be wondering why there is no change other than the color."

Immortal Zhenyuan said: "You are wrong, the change in the flying vehicle is not on the outside, but inside."

"That's right! This vehicle can recognize its rider and will display different colors depending on who is onboard!"

The immortals paused blankly for a moment.

"Ooooh!"

They clapped enthusiastically: "What a big change."

"Yes, such a big change."

"I'm so moved I could cry!"

They clapped and walked towards Emperor Donghua.

"Emperor, why have you returned?"

Water Virtues Star Monarch asked Emperor Donghua: "The Great Saint has gone to Western Continent, don't you need to greet him?"

"That matter has been left to Immortal Master Erlang."

A child by Emperor Donghua's side answered for him: "The Emperor heard that on Huaguo Mountain a new Immortal Literature Hall was built to awaken all spirits and came back to see it."

"So the Emperor is also interested in it."

"Emperor, let's go together."

The enthusiastic immortals escorted Emperor Donghua towards the Immortal Literature Hall, leaving Immortal Zhenyuan and his two disciples behind.

"Master."

The two disciples looked at Immortal Zhenyuan.

"They don't know the formidable power of the flying vehicles."

Immortal Zhenyuan calmly said: "Give the order to rank them with Qing Yuanzi... No, better to rank them with Golden Cicada instead."

Using Qing Yuanzi would be too much of a bully.

Immortal Zhenyuan followed the other immortals to the Immortal Literature Hall.

"Welcome, esteemed immortals."

A young man stood at the entrance to greet them: "Here we have a VIP passage, please follow this way."

He led the immortals into the Immortal Literature Hall, directly to the surveillance room.

Around the surveillance room were Immortal Mirrors, through which one could see everything happening in all the experience halls.

"You may watch at your leisure."

The young man introduced the images displayed by the surrounding Immortal Mirrors, saying: "All these experience halls here were built to awaken the spirits."

The immortals began to look around at the Immortal Mirrors, and couldn't help but be a little shocked.

"Are they all battlefields?"

All the experience halls were simulating battlefields. A few years ago, demons found that wars could stimulate the awakening of all spirits.

Huaguo Mountain had already established various wartime scenarios, but over the past two years, after improvements by Sun Wukong, they became even more realistic.

In the third experience hall that Emperor Donghua was observing, a dozen young men lay on the ground.

Hundreds of soldiers had pierced their chests with long swords.

"If you're not dead, then stand up, lift your head, and defeat us!"

The soldiers said.

Emperor Donghua noticed their words and couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

"These soldiers were created by the Great Saint."

Water Virtues Star Monarch also noticed something different about the soldiers.

"Indeed, they are incomparable."

This experience hall was different from the others in that the enemies simulated inside could see through the hearts of the trial-takers, arranging different experiences for each person to stimulate the awakening of the spirits.

Emperor Donghua stared intently at the Immortal Mirror.

Immortal Zhenyuan also stood in front of the fifth Immortal Mirror, watching the battlefield inside.

The intense and grim nature of the battles within these experience halls surprised him.

"So brutal."

Immortal Zhenyuan frowned slightly and said: "I have to ask my wise brother if capturing the Immortal Officials from Ten States and Three Islands and throwing them in would be effective."

The other immortals who heard this turned to look.

"Great Immortal, what a brilliant idea!"

"They will surely thank us for this!"

The immortals thought this idea was fantastic.

"Eh, that girl."

Immortal Zhenyuan suddenly noticed a familiar young girl in the experience hall.

He called to the young man, "Isn't that your lady?"

The immortals all gathered around curiously.

In the Immortal Mirror, a ferocious young girl was thrown into the air by cavalry, her body dripping with blood, yet she still managed to stand up, propping herself with her sword.

"This is really..."

"The perseverance that people of Wanling Country should have."

The young man said, unexpectedly calm, "If she wants to recover her memory, she must go through these trials."

The immortals looked at each other in bewilderment.

In recent years, Huaguo Mountain had been peaceful, but everyone could feel the brewing storm outside.

That atmosphere was inescapable for the demons.

However, despite this, the stark depictions of warfare in the Experience Hall still shocked the immortals.

The young girl was quickly killed.

Death in the Experience Hall was not real death, yet it offered the same experience as death.

The girl was eliminated, and immediately another new girl entered.

"How many people come here each day?"

Immortal Zhenyuan couldn't help asking.

"I don't know."

The young man shook his head: "We have a limit of fifty thousand."

Warfare could hasten the awakening of the Wanling people, but it wasn't guaranteed.

One or two experiences had almost no effect, it might take dozens of tries before there was a chance of awakening.

Despite that, the number of humans and demons arriving here each day still exceeded the limit, necessitating rationing.

People queued up to come here, voluntarily entering hell, only to be eliminated one by one.

After numerous failures, they would return.

"There are no cowards here."

The young man stated.

In the Northern Continent, Sun Wukong was also watching the scenes in the Immortal Literature Hall.

The True Emperor stood beside him, looking at the Immortal Mirror: "What is this mirror?"

"A terminal of the Wanling Net."

Sun Wukong replied, adding: "It's still being tested."

The True Emperor couldn't help but feel amazed.

Sun Wukong stared at the scenes in the Immortal Mirror.

It was an endless nightmare; the people of Wanling Country knew it wasn't easy, but they were still willing to commit to it.

It must be this way.

Let it be this way.

Sun Wukong thought, his eyes flickering with light and shadow, his gaze transcending time.

Above the sky, countless people stood on clouds, like stars, resisting a slash of blood that could sever the universe.

An endless number of lights were falling, a multitude of people standing shoulder to shoulder, taking over from the past.

A vast sense of epic history welled up in his heart, he seemed to understand what they were doing.

A hundred years, two hundred years... generations of people, all striving for a single goal.

A tear suddenly fell.

"Why?"

Sun Wukong extended his hand, observing the tear in his palm.

He tried every means but couldn't cry, yet this tear suddenly dropped.

"You have seen the future."

A voice inside answered him.

Sun Wukong clenched the tear: "It's you."

It was the voice of the little Phoenix.

She had awakened in the Wanling Net, something that had never happened before.

"I felt the power of the Heavenly Book."

The little Phoenix said, perhaps because she was the predecessor-to-the-Creator; Sun Wukong used the power of inference a few times and woke her up.

"I can now see the world through your eyes."

The voice of the little Phoenix was somewhat wistful: "This is your Three Realms."

"Mhm."

Sun Wukong sealed the tear away, keeping it safe: "Is it different from your world?"

"Completely different."

The little Phoenix replied: "But it's beautiful... just as beautiful."

This is the real world.
