Chapter 483 - 466: Genesis Bigshot Number One
The plans of the Annihilation Demon Nation and Myriad Demons Country’s high-ranking officials are truly shocking. What kind of disguise technique must it take for the Dominion of Soil’s Domain Lord to not even realize that his own son had been swapped out? Moreover, after Luo Chen was saved by the Genesis Divine Nation’s Domain Lord, Xiao He, Xiao He even took Luo Chen as his direct disciple. Yet, in these tens of thousands of years, Luo Chen has not revealed the slightest flaw. Now it seems, it was no coincidence that back then, the entire Dominion of Soil was destroyed, yet only Luo Chen survived. It was deliberately orchestrated by Mo Mietian.
At the same time, Sun Wukong also thought of another possibility: The Netherworld and the Genesis Divine Nation have been in friendly relations for hundreds of thousands of years, so why did they quickly develop conflicts upon entering the Patrolling Celestial World? On the Netherworld’s side, Xi Zhao had been continuously hinting at everyone to be enemies with Genesis, so it must be that Luo Chen played a role on the Genesis Divine Nation’s side and, if the grand scheme could produce one Luo Chen, it could produce two, three. It seems the issue lies not only in the Netherworld, nor is Luo Chen the only one involved. Thinking this, Sun Wukong couldn’t help but feel a sense of worry for the people of the Genesis Divine Nation.
Mo Wu was about to say something, but Sun Wukong’s expression suddenly turned cold, and he asked gravely, "Mo Wu, I need to know the list of forces involved in the grand scheme. If you don’t tell me, I will kill you on the spot!" Mo Wu was not surprised; their grand scheme was already known to the other forces, but by the time they learned of it, the plan had already been underway for quite some time. Thus, even though the various forces tried hard to root out the undercover agents, even periodically conducting internal purges, the results were not particularly evident.

When Mo Wu and the others were captured here, they were ready to be questioned about the personnel involved in the grand scheme, so Sun Wukong’s words didn’t take them by surprise. "The grand scheme is very complex and extensive. In addition to the Annihilation Demon Nation’s Domain Lord Xi Zhao and Mo Mietian, there’s also the Myriad Demons Country’s Domain Lord Hidden Realm and Ling Weiyang. No one knows the full list of personnel involved in the entire plan, and even the two Domain Lords only know about their own Divine Kingdom’s personnel, with only a general understanding of the other side. I am the same; I am only responsible for the Genesis Divine Nation and Netherworld World. As for the others, I do not know, and of course, I think you have no need to know those minor characters!"
"What about him, then? He should know something too, shouldn’t he?" Sun Wukong asked, pointing to the demon weasel nearby.
Mo Wu shrugged and said, "He’s in the same group as I am. The two of us are jointly responsible for Genesis and Netherworld, with him being mainly responsible for Genesis and me for the Netherworld." Sun Wukong’s gaze began to show some murderous intent as he said, "Spill it, then. Among those who participated in the Patrolling Celestial World trial, who else is part of the grand scheme?"
Mo Wu said, "There’s no one left in the Netherworld World. The first person in the Netherworld’s grand scheme is the Evil Monarch, the second is Old Wang, and the third died trying to save Yao Wumeng. As for numbers four through ten, they did not participate in the Patrolling Celestial World trial." At this point, Sun Wukong’s Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes were already open, focusing on Mo Wu. Noticing that Mo Wu did not exhibit any unusual emotional fluctuations while speaking, Sun Wukong knew that Mo Wu was telling the truth.
Turning to look at the demon weasel, Sun Wukong asked, "What about Genesis? Is there anyone else besides Luo Chen?" The demon weasel said, "Luo Chen is the second in the Genesis grand scheme, numbers three through ten did not participate in the Patrolling Celestial World trial!" "So, number one participated in the Patrolling Celestial World trial?" "Yes, number one joined the trial." "Who is number one?" "Chaotic Giant Clan, Qian Shang!"
No sooner had the demon weasel finished speaking than Sun Wukong disappeared from his original spot. Behind the demon weasel, Sun Wukong stood with a face of Frost, his right hand directly placed on the top of the demon weasel’s head, saying, "Impossible, Qian Shang is from the Chaotic Giant Clan; how could he possibly be part of your grand scheme? Moreover, Qian Shang clashed with me in order to protect the Genesis Divine Nation before. You’re lying to me!"
Feeling the pure pressure of space coming from above his head, the demon weasel had no doubt that Sun Wukong could crush his skull with space power if he wished. However, the demon weasel’s voice was very calm, "I have no need to lie to you, and now, even if I tell you, it doesn’t really matter, because Qian Shang should be making his move soon. He will strike suddenly when Jue Luan and others reach the Genesis Palace and engage in a deadly battle with the people from Myriad Demons Country."
Sun Wukong slowly released his grip on the demon weasel’s head and slowly walked back to his previous seat, looking somewhat disheartened. It was one tragedy after another for the Genesis Divine Nation: first Luo Chen defected, stealing the Supreme Order, then they were decimated by Old Wang and his team sent by Xi Zhao, and now even Qian Shang turned out to be an undercover agent. This time, the Genesis Divine Nation was unlikely to escape their fate!
Sun Wukong had received mostly satisfactory answers to his questions, yet he didn’t feel the slightest bit of relief in his heart. From what he heard from Mo Wu and Mo You, he saw a Xi Zhao completely different from the one he had known. The Xi Zhao he knew was without guile and dared to act decisively, displaying a commanding presence and clever tactics without being overbearing. But Mo Wu’s words revealed that all he had seen was just a mask worn by Xi Zhao. Beneath that mask lurked a man capable of enduring in silence, an adept schemer, and a profound conspirator.
With one plan, conspiracy, and trap after another, Xi Zhao had been steadily progressing toward his goals. And it seemed that everyone, including himself and Flame God, as well as a few others who considered themselves his brothers and friends, were merely his pawns. It was then that Dao Zhun’s voice suddenly rang out, "Wukong, come out for a moment. Someone on patrol has found a woman from your Netherworld World!" Sun Wukong felt that he had asked enough questions, and the ones he hadn’t asked were no longer significant.
After agreeing, the space twisted, and Sun Wukong was already in the Patrolling Celestial World. As soon as he arrived, he saw Zijing lying on a patch of empty ground, with a phantom Bodhi Tree floating above him, continuously replenishing his life force, aiding in the recovery of his injuries.
"What happened?"
"Just now, someone found Zijing at the edge of the forest. She was already unconscious when discovered. That guy named Ye Zi checked her injuries and said there’s nothing major. She won’t die!" Flame God, having somehow approached Sun Wukong’s side, informed him in a low voice.
"It seems, Evil Monarch sent her back, but he must have already left. Flame God, go and call Shang Sheng, Du Tianyang, and Zhan Yunyi over. Oh, and Ming Wanjie too, I have something to discuss with everyone!"
Very soon, everyone was called over by Flame God, and Sun Wukong repeated to them the matters concerning Xi Zhao, Evil Monarch, and Old King. Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Flame God had already harbored doubts about Xi Zhao beforehand, so they were not too surprised, while Du Tianyang and the others were astonished to learn that Evil Monarch and Old King were number one and two in the schemes of the great figures from Myriad Demons Country and Annihilation Demon Nation.
Nevertheless, as the Five Great War Generals of Yue Huangquan, their resolve was extraordinarily steadfast. After a brief moment of shock, they didn’t show any excessive reactions, much to the surprise of Sun Wukong and the rest, who had thought they would make a big fuss upon hearing the news. Since they showed no signs of unrest, Sun Wukong felt reassured. After discussing some other matters, he let everyone go to rest. Meanwhile, Sun Wukong recommended Ming Wanjie as the leader of Netherworld World. With the agreement of Rogue Heart Sword Hero and the others, this matter was thus decided.
As for what would become of the Genesis Divine Nation, Sun Wukong didn’t want to concern himself with it anymore. What he needed to do now was to prepare for the final battle with the Myriad Demons Country.
Each time he thought about the decisive battle with the Myriad Demons Country, there was always a very strange feeling surging in Sun Wukong’s heart. He couldn’t tell whether it was good or bad, but it always left him feeling somewhat perturbed. However, remembering that his side had many powerful allies, including the support of the four Ferocious Beasts, along with the subordinates of those little monkeys, he was confident that such strength was absolutely capable of annihilating the Myriad Demons Country.
At that moment, Sun Wukong suddenly saw Ye Zi, who had just returned from patrol. Sun Wukong called out with a thought, "Ye Zi, Ye Zi, come here, I’ll take you to meet my master. I think, you’re going to become a warrior from now on!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to vote for it with a recommendation or a Monthly Pass on Starting Point ).
