Chapter 251 - 240: Wukong and the First Emperor Discuss the Law
It was said that the great trends between Heaven and Earth had been settled, the Demon Tribe was recuperating, only lacking a counterattack on the Heavenly Court, and Wukong would then be able to complete the revolutionary task of transforming the world.
The First Emperor was an unmatched emperor throughout the ages, the first to unify the Eastern Divine Region, greatly contributing to its prosperity today. Wukong, intending to revolutionize the world, naturally had to take the life of the Jade Emperor, for a world cannot be without a ruler for a single day, let alone the Three Realms. Without a supreme leader, chaos would likely ensue.
Upon seeing Wukong arrive, Ying Zheng chuckled and put down the military book in his hand. Although he was now among the Immortal Dao, he relished reading about military tactics, constantly engaging with military books whenever he had free time, repeatedly studying them. With his vast army, Ying Zheng had swept across the nations in the world, but he never forgot his roots, often reminiscing about the glorious days when he galloped across battlefields.
"Wukong has come. Do you need me?" Ying Zheng said.
Bai Qi and Xu Fu had died in battle, and Ying Zheng had been somewhat melancholic these days, retreating to read military books.
Wukong smiled and said, "Indeed, I have come to discuss matters with your Majesty, Ancestor Dragon First Emperor."
Ying Zheng closed his military book, put it away, and said, "Then sit down and we’ll talk in detail. Since Xu Fu and Bai Qi have fallen in battle, I have not spoken with anyone for many days. Sigh!"
Wukong sighed and said, "This battle was truly perilous. If not because Di Jiang was of the Ancestral Witch’s body, he too would have perished. Bai Qi slaughtered countless beings, became deeply mired in karmic retribution and his life force was due to end; Xu Fu sought the sea eastward, and by chance encountered Shen Gongbao and obtained the Elixir of Immortality, yet now his life force too has ended. Heaven’s will is hard to defy; their deaths were destined by fate. First Emperor, you need not grieve, for the Deification Platform is near where you can appoint them as gods and be reunited."
Ying Zheng nodded lightly and laughed, "What Wukong says makes great sense."
