Athena the Unsubmissive

"This is the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong, that I had in mind."

Chen Changsheng watched this scene and nodded in satisfaction.

However, Luo Hao, who was standing beside him, was a bit confused, as if her husband was very familiar with this monkey.

Before she could ask further, Chen Changsheng waved his hand with a face full of excitement.

"Collect!"

As soon as his voice fell, the majestic golden-haired monkey, who had been stepping on the void, was suddenly pulled by an infinite suction force, flying uncontrollably toward the Yin-Yang Diagram unfurled in the sky.

Sun Wukong noticed this sudden change immediately and tried to use his Somersault Cloud ability, but under the terrifying devouring power of the Yin-Yang Diagram, the Somersault Cloud was completely useless.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Sun Wukong's monkey face.

"What a great divine ability! It's only stronger, not weaker, than that of the old Buddha!"

After he finished speaking, his monkey mouth muttered rapidly, and the next moment.

"Second Junior Brother! Third Junior Brother! Hurry and lend old Sun a hand!"

Following his call, two streaks of golden light flew out from beside him.

One of the golden lights transformed into a pig demon holding a nine-toothed rake, bearing a ferocious pig head and a large belly. It was none other than Sun Wukong's second junior brother, Marshal Canopy, Zhu Bajie.

The other transformed into a burly, demon-like man with a green face and fangs, holding a crescent-moon spade and wearing a necklace of nine skulls. This was Sun Wukong's third junior brother, the Curtain Lifting General, Sha Wujing.

As soon as the two appeared, before they even had time to speak, Sun Wukong used them as a springboard. Stepping on the two, he did a somersault and escaped the devouring pull of the Yin-Yang Diagram.

Meanwhile, the two who had been kicked by Sun Wukong hadn't even realized what happened before they were completely swallowed into the Yin-Yang Diagram.

Chen Changsheng watched this scene and looked at Luo Hao beside him in astonishment.

"How can this Sun Wukong be so shameless?"

"Hmm? Isn't the Sun Wukong from the myths exactly like this?"

Luo Hao was a bit puzzled as to why Chen Changsheng would ask such a question.

Her words also made Chen Changsheng realize something.

The Sun Wukong of this world was different from the Sun Wukong he knew. The Sun Wukong of this world was a God of Steel.

What is a God of Steel?

In fact, during the evolution of myths in this world, they were the enforcers among the patriarchal gods who challenged the status of the matriarchal goddesses.

The original deities of this world were primarily led by goddesses. However, with the changes in humanity, the status of women was gradually replaced by men. Therefore, the various former goddesses were either taken into the harems of God Kings, turned into their daughters, or directly transformed into demons and defeated by gods of war. Only a very few maintained their original status.

And those gods of war who defeated the former goddesses—now demons—bathed in the blood of the goddesses and became the legendary Gods of Steel.

After Chen Changsheng understood the cause and effect, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"If we really go by this world's setting, then the demons that Sun Wukong and his master encountered during their eighty-one tribulations... could they have all been goddesses in the past?"

He had to admit, it was very likely to be exactly that.

Thinking of this, Chen Changsheng suddenly found himself unable to look straight at his childhood memories.

At the same time, he felt a sense of sympathy for the goddesses of this world.

The power of faith really wasn't something to play around with; one misstep and even one's gender could be changed.

However, he was just sighing in lamentation.

Soon, he was attracted by two extra Dao Seeds that appeared in the Yin-Yang Diagram.

One was a Water Element Dao Seed, and the other was a Quicksand Dao Seed.

He didn't know what legends they were condensed from.

But Chen Changsheng didn't care about that. Anyway, they would all become nourishment for the Yin-Yang Diagram in the future, and what belonged to the Yin-Yang Diagram belonged to him.

"Thank you for the gift, Great Sage Sun."

After Chen Changsheng muttered this with a smile, he struck out with all his might.

The next moment, the Yin-Yang Diagram, which had previously only covered all of Japan, suddenly expanded, directly enveloping the entire Earth.

Sun Wukong, who had fled to Europe in just a few breaths, suddenly stopped his flight. Looking up at the black and white colors above his head that even blocked out the sun, he couldn't help but curse in the dialect of the Eastern Continent of Superior Body.

Subsequently, he could no longer control his body and was swallowed into the Yin-Yang Diagram.

At the same time, above the lands of Huaxia, a divine dragon with a body a thousand feet long had a face full of human-like astonishment.

What happened? Where am I? What am I doing?

However, before he could even speak, he was swallowed into the Yin-Yang Diagram.

The same thing happened in Europe, Africa, the Americas, and even the four major oceans.

Nearly ten Heretic Gods, completely unaware of what was happening, were implicated by Sun Wukong and swallowed into the Yin-Yang Diagram.

Among them was Athena, who had been searching the Earth for her 'snake' for hundreds of years.

As well as Guinevere, who was searching for the King of the End, and her guardian knight Lancelot.

And the extremely unlucky Anshera, who had already been demoted from a goddess to the divine beast, the Heretic Serpent Leviathan.

In the space of the Yin-Yang Diagram, Athena, who had suddenly been swallowed, was dressed in a school uniform with a cat-eared bowler hat, looking like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. Watching the surrounding divine dragons, giant dragons, goddesses, and gods dissipate at an extremely fast speed until only their divine spark remained, her body trembled in fear.

Then, she realized that she didn't seem to be suffering the same fate as them.

In a similar situation to hers was a purple-haired girl who looked even younger than her, her body naked except for a long bandage wrapping her vital areas.

She knew this goddess: the former North American Earth Mother Goddess, now the Heretic Serpent Leviathan.

The two girls looked at each other, both seeing the shock in the other's eyes.

However, before the two could exchange any words, their vision blurred, and they simultaneously appeared in a strange ruin.

"Athena, do you want to take revenge on the Greek gods?"

Hearing this, Athena's pupils shrank. She immediately turned her head and saw Chen Changsheng, dressed in a white robe with his jet-black hair tied behind his head, looking like an immortal banished from heaven.

"Did you say... take revenge on the Greek gods?"

"That's right."

Chen Changsheng nodded confidently.

The reason he spared Athena and Anshera was because they were former Divine Ancestors and enemies of the current gods.

And he just happened to need a guide.

He had no choice. In fact, as soon as he arrived in this world, he had already scanned the entire Earth.

However, he was disappointed to find that compared to the world where Eriri and the others were, the connection between the gods of this world and Earth was not as simple as he had thought.

The divine realms of those various pantheons did not seem to exist on Earth.

Or rather, those so-called divine realms in the original story were actually parallel worlds belonging to Earth, rather than simply being on the world beneath his feet.

As such, even he could not easily find those worlds.

After all, his current understanding of the Dao of Space was not yet profound.

Furthermore, if he wanted to traverse parallel worlds, unless he knew the methods used by the gods, he would at least need to reach the Void Refinement realm.

Of course, the prerequisite was that the current world possessed parallel worlds, and the inherent power level of the world itself could not be too high.

This was also the reason why Chen Changsheng had kept Athena and Anshera around.
