【Before reopening the false breach, you burst out of the sea and gazed toward the continent.】
【You had originally planned to use this opportunity to return to the human world and visit some old friends and relatives.】
【Instead, you witnessed the destruction of the human world.】
【Once the situation had reached the point where nothing could be done, your heart surprisingly grew calm.】
【“Avoiding this calamity would be easy enough, but tracking down the person behind it won’t be so simple…”】
“Exactly. Avoiding this calamity would be quite easy.”
Chen Yi in the real world had also come up with a solution.
The human world had ended up like this because the Five-Element Root Artifacts had been destroyed.
But in reality, at this very moment, all five Root Artifacts were still intact—though some had lost their spirits, while others were missing parts of their bodies.
As long as he hid the five artifacts and prevented the mastermind from finding them, the human world would naturally be spared this disaster.
It seemed that the mastermind’s goal was not simply to destroy the human world. He merely had to destroy the Five-Element Root Artifacts in order to achieve his own objective.
“Where should I hide them?”
While continuing to watch the simulation, Chen Yi pondered this question.
【Just as Ji Wuqing had done in the first two simulations, you waved your hand and circulated your energy to cast a divine art.】
【You cast the divine art at a specific frequency, causing the laws of heaven and earth to fluctuate rhythmically.】
【These disturbances would spread to the real world. Though extremely faint, the Star Apes had special means of sensing them.】
【They would once again activate the Void-Real Altar, opening a false breach between the virtual and real worlds.】
【Once this breach opened, anything belonging to the real world near it would automatically be pulled into the real world by its gravitational force.】
【Things from the virtual world, however, would remain unaffected.】
【In the first two simulations, you had assumed that Ji Wuqing was some transcendent powerhouse from the real world. Otherwise, how could he open passages between two worlds with nothing more than a casual gesture?】
【Now you understood. It turned out that the Star Ape clan had assisted him with divine treasures, along with resources accumulated on an astronomical scale.】
【Although you were a native of the virtual world, this projection of yours originated from the real world.】
【Therefore, you were carried away as well.】
【The human world gradually blurred before your eyes.】
【Within the spatial turbulence, all sense of time and space vanished.】
【Once everything stabilized again, you found yourself back atop the Void-Real Altar.】
【Behind you was the Chuangyang Stone, suppressing the Fiery-Eyed Golden Monkey and your clone, Chen Four.】
【Sun Xiaosheng and a group of Star Apes flew over excitedly.】
【Like the Dragon-Scaled Horse, these creatures were both native lifeforms of the real world and members of the ancient divine-beast species. They were naturally adapted to surviving in a vacuum.】
【Upon seeing the Fiery-Eyed Golden Monkey, Sun Xiaosheng could barely contain his excitement. Even so, he took out a jade-green bracelet and slipped it onto the Fiery-Eyed Golden Monkey’s wrist.】
【The Fiery-Eyed Golden Monkey bared his teeth and hissed at him.】
【“Tch! What is this thing you put on me?”】
【Sun Xiaosheng said with a grin,】
【“First Prince, this is the royal jade bracelet. Every member of the imperial Star Ape bloodline receives one, and each bracelet is matched to its owner from birth. If you can wear it, that proves your identity is genuine, and then we can take you back and report our success.”】
【“What royal family? What Star Apes…”】
【“First Prince, there’s no need to worry. You fell into the virtual world and were reborn, losing all your memories. We’ll help you recover them shortly.”】
【The Fiery-Eyed Golden Monkey resisted half-heartedly before allowing them to put on the bracelet.】
【The jade bracelet gradually contracted, eventually fitting perfectly around his wrist.】
【The Star Ape delegation embraced one another and burst into laughter.】
【“Who would have thought we’d complete our mission so quickly!”】
【“The king dispatched ten thousand delegations, scattered throughout the universe. Now that we’ve accomplished this glorious mission, we…”】
【“Fellow colleagues, prepare to return home, get promoted, make a fortune, and enjoy a life of good luck!”】
【Sun Xiaosheng and the others were beside themselves with joy.】
【Seeing that the Imperial Domain Shield around your body was still intact, you were in no hurry to leave. Instead, you approached them curiously and asked,】
【“Is that monkey really your prince?”】
【“Of course! Of course!”】
【“The kind who can inherit the throne?”】
【“Of course! Of course!”】
【“By the way, there are actually two monkeys. The other one, the Four-Eyed Spirit Monkey, he…”】
【“Not important! Not important!”】
【“Not important? Weren’t you looking for both of them?”】
【Sun Xiaosheng did not answer you. He simply scampered over to the Fiery-Eyed Golden Monkey.】
【Because the Fiery-Eyed Golden Monkey was still trapped beneath the stone, Sun Xiaosheng lay down as well so that they could speak face-to-face.】
【“First Prince, rest assured. We are your staunch supporters. If the Second Prince hadn’t framed you back then, you never would have entered the black hole with him…”】
【Sun Xiaosheng chattered on and on.】
【You more or less understood the situation.】
【The Fiery-Eyed Golden Monkey and the Four-Eyed Spirit Monkey were not only princes of the Star Ape clan; they were also two princes with considerable influence.】
【The Star Apes did not care much for orderly succession.】
【Their preferred method was essentially a Xuanwu Gate-style succession struggle: whoever was strongest inherited the throne.】
【The king’s many princes had to compete against one another, and only the one with the greatest overall strength was qualified to inherit the throne.】
【Many years ago, the First Prince, the Fiery-Eyed Golden Monkey, and the Second Prince, the Four-Eyed Spirit Monkey, had fought most fiercely of all.】
【On one occasion, the Second Prince plotted against the First Prince, intending to use a black hole to destroy the First Prince and all his loyal followers.】
【Unexpectedly, the First Prince’s subordinates fought desperately to save him—and dragged the Second Prince, who had been watching from nearby, into the black hole as well.】
【A group of physically invincible Star Apes fell into the black hole. In the end, only the two princes survived, at the cost of being reborn as stones—and they lost all their memories.】
【The king then dispatched ten thousand delegations to search for the two princes.】
【Those people had their own calculations, too.】
【If they found the First Prince, they would support the First Prince.】
【If they found the Second Prince, they would support the Second Prince.】
【Who knew whether the other one was dead or alive?】
【And if they found both of them, they would simply see which way the wind was blowing.】
【The Fiery-Eyed Golden Monkey had barely listened to anything Sun Xiaosheng said.】
【“What are you babbling about? Hurry up and get me out of here!”】
【“First Prince, please be patient. The treasure will arrive shortly.”】
【“By the way, Chen Yi went through untold hardships to enter the virtual world and bring me back. Aren’t you going to show him some gratitude?”】
【“Naturally! Naturally!”】
【Sun Xiaosheng gave you a black stone.】
【“What is this?”】
【“A celestial king of our clan sleeps within this stone!”】
【“A celestial king?”】
【You had heard Ji Wuqing mention this before.】
【Above the Heaven-Ascending Realm were three more realms.】
【Since anyone who reached these three realms held an exalted position in some region or faction, cultivators of these realms were generally referred to as Celestial Lords, Celestial Kings, and Celestial Emperors!】
【“If you ever find yourself in danger, crush this stone. The Celestial King inside will awaken and lend you a hand. But you only get one chance, because this Celestial King is extremely difficult to control.”】
【“Why do I get the feeling he was sealed inside this thing by you? You’re not offering me a prisoner as a favor, are you?”】
【“Of course not! How could that be? Hahaha!”】
【Seeing this, the Fiery-Eyed Golden Monkey spoke up.】
“Chen Yi, if I truly become a Star Ape King someday, I’ll never forget you!”
The corners of your mouth curved upward slightly.
