Heaven-Defying Rebel Sage

The Heavenly Court, with Ying Zheng as the ruler of ten thousand heavens, began to implement a revolutionary policy throughout the realm.

Under the strong push of the Heavenly Court, nothing could pose an obstacle, and moreover, no one dared to obey in public but oppose in secret. A great mirror of sin was hung in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and anyone who received orders had to carry them out with all their might. Within five years, equality had largely been achieved, abolishing landlords, local gentry, nobility, and those with high Mana from oppressing the common people.

In the Republic, officials were appointed to inspect the lands. Whenever the people faced oppression, they would report it to the officials, and then the government would resolve the issues. Of course, if the government could not solve the problems, they would be reported up through the ranks until they reached Ying Zheng for a decision.

This revolutionary undertaking was fully endorsed by the Three Pure Ones. Even when Taoist Sect disciples broke the law, the Heavenly Court would take them down with thunderous measures. They would then reflect the sins of the accused upon the great mirror for all under heaven to see before cutting them down with a dog head cleaver at the waist.

Although the laws were strict, the people did not suffer as they had during the Qin Dynasty. Ying Zheng learned from the failures of Qin policies, tightening where necessary and relaxing elsewhere.

The members of the Demon Tribe no longer dared to casually capture humans for food; if they desired blood food, they would hunt for game in the mountains. Those with a larger appetite would transform into humans to trade with the common folk, not daring to cross the Heavenly Court. Should anyone be discovered, and upon verification, execution by decapitation was certain. In times of chaos, stringent measures were necessary; once oppression was discovered, the perpetrators were executed without the establishment of prisons. This served to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, forming a collective consciousness among the people. Eventually, the laws would be relaxed and prisons established.

Under such severe and harsh rules, no one dared to cause chaos or oppress the common people. In ten years, the revolutionary transformation of the realm was complete.

Wukong’s grand aspiration was fulfilled. He felt that his Primordial Spirit Thoughts were exceptionally clear. Now, everyone in the realm was free, including members of the Demon Tribe who could freely enter human cities as long as they did not cause harm or chaos. This was the achievement of freedom and equality, as long as the laws were not broken.

With his Primordial Spirit Thoughts clear, all he needed to do was sever the ties of cause and effect to gain complete control over the Taoist Magic and changes of the Heavenly Dao. From then on, nothing in this realm could evade his calculation. Tathagata was the one with the greatest karmic ties to him, but he had shattered the Heavenly Dao Laws to enter the Chaotic World. Killing him would not be an easy task.

"I will go to Hong Jun Taoist Patriarch for assistance; I believe he will grant me this favor," said Wukong.

"Hong Jun Taoist Patriarch will surely be willing to help," Xuan Ming said. "Even if he doesn’t, Di Jun would."
