Chapter 102 Mutual Destruction? Chen Fan Just Loves to Flip Tables
Chapter 102 Mutual Destruction? Chen Fan Just Loves to Flip Tables
The Buddha made his move.
The golden Buddha's palm struck the wordless scripture, containing earth-shattering power.
The Jade Emperor also intervened.
The Haotian Sword slashed at the source of the true scripture, intending to completely destroy this hot potato.
"No one can have it!"
The Buddha spoke softly.
"Reboot the Journey to the West, and re-establish the pilgrims!"
The Jade Emperor sneered.
Chen Fan is doomed.
The true scriptures must be destroyed.
The fate of the Three Realms can only be in their hands!
Chen Fan stood still.
Scarred on his body.
Blood stained the white clothes.
He watched as Buddha and the Jade Emperor attacked simultaneously.
Laughed.
"You want to destroy the sacred scriptures?"
"Are you worthy?"
The wordless scripture floated in his hand.
Eight large golden characters flashed.
"All beings are equal, without form or self."
Chen Fan took a deep breath.
"system."
"Burn it all."
[System message: Insufficient permissions to execute.]
Chen Fan's eyes were icy cold.
"Then I'll mortgage my life."
[System notification: Mortgage confirmed. Vitality depleted by 99%.]
[The entire morally bankrupt system is ablaze!]
[True Scripture Permission Broadcast Mode, activated!]
Chen Fan smiled.
His smile was insane.
"You guys want to start a new game?"
"Excuse me."
"Laozi"
"Just flip the table over!"
He crushed the blank scripture with all his might!
"No!"
The Tathagata's eyes are about to split.
The Jade Emperor's expression changed drastically.
"stop!"
"Too late!"
Chen Fan laughed wildly.
The true scriptures are broken.
It transformed into countless golden specks of light.
Each point of light.
They all contain the authority of the true scriptures!
"go!"
Chen Fan roared.
All the points of light shot into the sky.
Shoot it across the entire Three Realms!
Humans, demons, immortals, monsters, and ghosts.
Every corner.
Points of light fell from each of them.
"Heavenly Court's lackeys."
"Look carefully!"
"What does 'equality for all beings' mean?"
A speck of light fell to earth.
They fell into the Demon Mountain.
They fell into the netherworld.
It fell into the East China Sea.
They fell into Flower Fruit Mountain.
They fell into the Five Elements Mountain.
It falls into the body of every living being bound by fate!
"Aaaaaah!"
Buddha has gone mad.
Go all out.
The golden light of Buddha is about to tear everything apart.
"Chen Fan!"
"You're asking for it!"
Chen Fan stood still.
Neither dodging nor avoiding.
His eyes were cold.
"Tathagata"
Do you think so?
"Are we all just pawns?"
"Don't you think so?"
"Are you the only one qualified to set the rules?"
He raised his hand.
Pointing to the Buddha.
"today."
"I'll show you."
"All living beings".
"Whose pawn is this anyway?!"
The light spot fell.
Countless people looked up.
I saw strange phenomena in the sky.
Huaguoshan.
The monkeys saw a golden light.
A light suddenly emanated from his body.
"My grandsons are monkeys."
"From this day forward, we are no longer under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court!"
Chen Fan's voice echoed throughout the Three Realms.
East China Sea.
The Dragon Palace trembled.
Ao Guang watched the falling specks of light.
Its body shimmered with dragon scales.
"Dragon Clan".
"We'll never be subject to the Heavenly Court again!"
Netherworld.
The underworld is in chaos.
Countless evil spirits received the light.
The cycle of reincarnation begins.
"Ksitigarbha".
"Your vow."
"This is void today!"
The mortal realm.
Within the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
Countless people saw the golden light.
A faint glow emanated from his body.
"From now on."
"Everyone can be a dragon!"
Chen Fan's voice continued to echo.
"Tathagata"
"The Jade Emperor."
"Didn't you want to resume the pilgrimage to the West?"
"Come."
"I'll show you."
"A pilgrimage without a pilgrim."
"How do you play?"
The light spots continued to spread.
The Three Realms were shaken.
The heavens roared.
The attack from Buddha and the Jade Emperor is coming.
Chen Fan neither dodged nor avoided.
It withstood the blow head-on.
"Wow!"
He spat out a mouthful of blood.
But he was still smiling.
"Hahaha!"
"Cool!"
"This is what it feels like to flip the table!"
The Buddha's face turned ashen.
The Jade Emperor's eyes were icy cold.
"Chen Fan".
"You're going against the heavens!"
Chen Fan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"To defy Heaven?"
"Laozi"
"It is the sky!"
He opened his arms.
His body shone brightly.
That's a manifestation of the system burning to its limit.
Life force is fading.
But he doesn't care.
"The Jade Emperor."
"Tathagata"
"What do you think?"
"Is it satisfying to control your destiny?"
"Now."
"Let you have a taste."
"The feeling of losing control!"
The light of the true scriptures pervades the three realms.
Every living being that receives a point of light.
They all gained partial access to the true scriptures.
They can practice spiritual cultivation.
It is possible to break through.
We can challenge the Heavenly Court!
"impossible!"
The Buddha launched a frenzied attack.
But the light spots had already dispersed.
It can never be taken back.
"Chen Fan!"
"I want you dead!"
Chen Fan laughed loudly.
"Tathagata"
"You can't kill me."
"because."
"All living beings are me!"
The radiance emanating from him grew ever brighter.
The system burns to its maximum.
【warn! 】
[System is about to crash!]
[Permission broadcast completion rate: 100%!]
Chen Fan looked at the sky.
His expression was calm.
"The Jade Emperor."
"Tathagata"
"The game is over."
"wrong."
"game."
"Just beginning!"
He turned around.
They left with the rest of the people.
Buddha and the Jade Emperor wanted to give chase.
But the backlash from the true scriptures came.
"Wow!"
The Buddha spat out a mouthful of golden blood.
The Jade Emperor took several steps back.
They watched Chen Fan's departing figure.
His eyes were cold.
"Chen Fan".
"Next time."
"This is your death day!"
Chen Fan didn't turn his head back.
"I'm available anytime."
A mountain breeze blows.
Chen Fan's white clothes fluttered in the wind.
He was walking on the mountain path.
Behind him followed the surviving brothers.
The system interface is flashing.
[Final message from the unethical system:]
This service will be terminated soon.
Thank you for using our service.
Chen Fan smiled.
His smile was bitter.
But more than anything, I feel relieved.
"system."
"Thank you."
"You've come this far with me."
He looked up at the sky.
His eyes were deep and intense.
"Next."
"It is an era that belongs to all living beings."
"The Three Realms".
"Are you ready?"
(To be continued)
Chapter 126 The System is About to Disappear, Chen Fan's Last Stand
Chen Fan stared at the system interface.
Journey to the West value: 8956 points.
This was all the wealth he had accumulated over his entire life.
The system panel was flashing.
[Friendly Reminder from the Morality-Free System:]
[A life-or-death crisis has been detected facing the host.]
The system will be unbound shortly.
[Would you like to make one last redemption?]
Chen Fan was stunned.
"System, what did you say?"
This system is a collection of rule loopholes.
The purpose of its existence is to break monopolies.
The host has now grown up.
No system assistance required.
[It's possible to survive in this world.]
Chen Fan's eyes inexplicably reddened.
"You son of a bitch..."
Why didn't you say so earlier?
"Did we have to wait until now?"
The system remained silent for a few seconds.
【Host.】
You are my only choice.
I have waited for countless years.
[Wait until you travel here.]
You are the only one who can hear my voice.
Chen Fan clenched his fist.
"And what about you?"
"You son of a bitch..."
"Where did you go?"
The system interface is flashing.
I will disappear completely.
The rule loophole will be fixed.
But before that.
I can help you one last time.
Chen Fan took a deep breath.
He looked at the battlefield.
The attacks from Buddha and the Jade Emperor are already close.
The alliance is suffering defeat after defeat.
The Bull Demon King fell into a pool of blood.
Sun Wukong is in a fierce battle.
The fate of the white dragon horse remains unknown.
Chen Fan knew.
This is the most critical moment.
He had to make a choice.
"system."
"Exchange all pilgrimage points."
"Life-Protecting Array for All Beings"
The system's voice echoed in my mind.
[Redemption confirmed.]
[Travel Points Consumed: 8956 points.]
[Obtained: Life-Protecting Array for All Beings (One-Time Use)]
[Coverage Area: The entire battlefield.]
Duration: Three minutes.
[Effect: Invincible.]
Chen Fan smiled.
His smile was bitter.
But more than anything, I feel relieved.
"Three minutes."
That's enough.
He suddenly waved his hand.
A huge curtain of light descended from the sky.
Golden light enveloped the entire battlefield.
The attacks from Buddha and the Jade Emperor collided with the light barrier.
A devastating explosion.
But the light curtain remained completely still.
The league members were stunned.
"What happened?"
"Are you alright?"
"I'm alive?"
Buddha's expression changed drastically.
"That's impossible!"
"What kind of magic weapon is this?"
The Jade Emperor's face was also ashen.
"impossible!"
"No one can stop our combined attack!"
Chen Fan stood atop the mountain.
The white clothes fluttered in the wind.
He pointed at Buddha and the Jade Emperor.
"Tathagata"
"The Jade Emperor."
"Aren't you all supposed to be high and mighty?"
"Aren't you supposed to control the fate of all living beings?"
"Now."
"Your attack."
"In front of Lao Tzu."
"Not even a fart!"
The Buddha was furious.
"Chen Fan!"
"You're asking for it!"
He made his move again.
A golden palm slapped against the light screen.
The Jade Emperor also intervened.
The Heavenly Court's most powerful artifact crashed into the light barrier.
A devastating explosion.
But the light screen remained completely still.
three minutes.
Only three minutes.
But in those three minutes...
All of the league's key players survived.
Chen Fan looked at the system interface.
[No ethical system notification:]
[Unbinding begins.]
Thank you for your continued use.
The system is about to disappear.
【10...】
【9...】
【8...】
Chen Fan closed his eyes.
The system has been with him for so long.
From the moment I arrived in this world.
The system is his greatest asset.
Now система is leaving.
It would be a lie to say I'm not sad.
But he knew it better.
I cannot fall.
【3...】
【2...】
【1...】
[System unbinding complete.]
【goodbye.】
The system interface has completely disappeared.
Chen Fan sensed it.
My body feels empty.
That feeling of power slipping away.
It made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
But he knew it better.
from now on.
He truly only had himself left.
There is no system.
No cheats or hacks.
He was alone.
And his brothers who are still alive.
Chen Fan opened his eyes.
Looking at the battlefield.
Buddha and the Jade Emperor are still attacking.
But the life-protecting array had already begun to flicker.
The allotted time is almost up.
Chen Fan took a deep breath.
he knows.
Next.
That was the most difficult moment.
But he will not back down.
Because of what he is doing.
It is for the sake of all living beings.
For freedom.
To break free of shackles.
Chen Fan clenched his fist.
"monkey."
"With the brothers."
"Let's retreat!"
Sun Wukong forced his opponent back with a single strike.
He flew over to Chen Fan's side.
"military adviser!"
"And you?"
Chen Fan smiled.
His smile was flat.
But steadfast.
"I'll cover the rear."
"The life-protecting formation can last for another minute."
"One minute later."
"They will launch another attack."
"You guys go first."
"I'll follow."
Sun Wukong shook his head.
"No!"
"We'll go together!"
Chen Fan's eyes turned cold.
"That's an order!"
"implement!"
Sun Wukong gritted his teeth.
Finally, he nodded.
"OK."
"military adviser."
"I, Old Sun, am waiting for you."
"You son of a bitch."
"Don't die!"
Chen Fan smiled.
A bright smile.
"rest assured."
"I'm tough."
"One minute later."
See you at Flower Fruit Mountain.
A mountain breeze blows.
Chen Fan's white clothes fluttered in the wind.
He stood on the mountaintop.
He faced Buddha and the Jade Emperor alone.
The life-protecting array began to flicker.
The golden light grew fainter and fainter.
The Buddha sneered.
"Chen Fan".
"What other tricks do you have up your sleeve?"
"Your formation."
"I can't hold on much longer!"
Chen Fan clenched his fist.
His eyes were cold.
"Tathagata"
"The Jade Emperor."
"This battle."
"I've got it."
Sooner or later.
"I'll repay you a hundredfold!"
The life-protecting array completely disappeared.
The attacks from Buddha and the Jade Emperor came crashing down again.
Chen Fan turned and ran.
He is very clear.
Now is not the time for a head-on confrontation.
Let the green hills remain.
There's no fear of running out of firewood.
Behind.
The attacks of Buddha and the Jade Emperor missed their target.
The Buddha was furious.
"Chase!"
"Don't let him get away!"
Chen Fan sneered.
His smile was cold.
"Chase?"
"I'm not that stupid!"
He channeled his magic power to its fullest extent.
They flew towards Flower and Fruit Mountain.
Behind.
Buddha and the Jade Emperor led their people in pursuit.
A storm in the Three Realms.
Just started.
And he will continue to fight.
Until this false heaven is shattered.
Until a world where all beings are truly equal is established.
(To be continued)
Chapter 127 Even without the system, I can still beat you.
The mountain wind howled.
Chen Fan stood atop Flower Fruit Mountain, with his surviving brothers behind him.
Sun Wukong was seriously injured, the White Dragon Horse was unconscious, and the Bull Demon King was missing.
The armies of Buddha and the Jade Emperor could arrive at any time.
But he cannot back down.
"The system is gone."
Chen Fan looked down at his wrist.
The system interface used to flash there.
Now all that's left is a blank page.
"military adviser!"
Pigsy ran over, covered in blood.
"Buddha's men have caught up!"
Chen Fan squinted.
In the distance, dark clouds rolled in.
The Buddha's light pierced through the clouds, and the Jade Emperor's heavenly soldiers and generals lined up in preparation.
"You've come at the perfect time."
Chen Fan sneered.
"I've been looking for a way to vent my frustrations!"
He waved.
The crowd behind him simultaneously drew their weapons.
The tattered pages of the Book of Fate were burning hot in my arms.
The Sutra of All Beings floats above your head.
The merit chart slowly unfolds.
These three treasures are Chen Fan's last trump card.
"monkey."
Chen Fan looked at Sun Wukong.
"Are you still able to fight?"
Sun Wukong stood up, his golden cudgel pointing to the sky.
"My fate is mine."
"You gave it to me."
"I'm returning it to you today!"
Xuanzang suddenly opened his eyes.
"etc."
He stood up, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
"Your master is not dead yet."
"Monk!"
Pigsy was pleasantly surprised.
Xuanzang smiled weakly.
"Those bald monks wanted to kill me."
"It's not that easy."
He looked at Chen Fan.
"Chen Fan".
"This time."
"I'm on your side."
Chen Fan nodded.
"it is good."
"today."
Let's shatter this false facade together!
The sky exploded.
The Buddha's Dharma form descends.
The Jade Emperor commands a vast army of Heaven.
"Chen Fan".
The Buddha's voice was like thunder.
"You've lost your system."
"What right do they have to be our enemy?"
Chen Fan laughed loudly.
"qualifications?"
He took a step forward.
"I rely on these two hands!"
"It's all thanks to these brothers!"
"It's based on the resentment of all beings in the three realms!"
He held up a tattered page of the Book of Fate.
"Did you see that?"
"This is the destiny of all living beings!"
"This is no longer something you can write about as you please!"
The Buddha's expression changed.
"Fate book?"
"How could you...?"
Chen Fan was too lazy to waste words.
"monkey!"
"The Jade Emperor is entrusted to you!"
"good!"
Sun Wukong soared into the air.
The golden cudgel, carrying immense force, crashed down upon the Jade Emperor.
"Xuanzang!"
Chen Fan shouted again.
"I entrust the Buddha to you!"
Xuanzang put his hands together in prayer.
"Amitabha."
"Master..."
The Tathagata finds this hard to believe.
"Xuanzang, have you gone mad?"
Xuanzang shook his head.
"This disciple is not insane."
"This disciple simply does not wish to be a pawn any longer."
A burst of golden light emanated from his body.
"This disciple wishes to become a chess player."
The Buddha was furious.
"court death!"
A three-way battle ensued.
The sky collapsed and the earth cracked.
Holding the tattered page of the Book of Fate, Chen Fan charged toward the heart of the battlefield.
The Sutra of All Beings and the Image of Merit surround him.
"Buddha!"
"Didn't you want to know what else I have?"
He sneered.
"I have this too!"
The tattered pages of the Book of Fate emitted a blinding light.
The destinies of all beings in the Three Realms were revealed.
The Jade Emperor panicked.
"stop!"
"Are you crazy?"
Chen Fan's eyes were icy cold.
"Are you crazy?"
"I'm perfectly sober!"
He held up the Book of Fate.
"From today onwards."
"Destiny is in our own hands!"
"Incense offerings are optional!"
"All living beings will no longer be written about unilaterally!"
The sound was like thunder, resounding throughout the three realms.
The Jade Emperor's heavenly soldiers and generals collapsed instantly.
The image of the Tathagata began to crack.
"No!"
The Buddha roared.
"You can't..."
Chen Fan completely ignored him.
"The Sutra of All Beings"
He murmured.
"Suck it, you bastard!"
The Sutra of All Beings unleashed a terrifying suction force.
All the merits and virtues of the Buddha accumulated over a hundred years were absorbed.
"No!"
The Buddha's form shattered.
Just before it completely dissipated.
Buddha suddenly smiled.
His smile was eerie.
"Chen Fan".
"You think it's over?"
Chen Fan frowned.
"What do you mean?"
The Buddha's Dharma form was completely shattered.
But the sound still echoed.
"The waters of the three realms."
"It's very deep."
"You think you've won?"
"joke."
The sound disappeared.
The Buddha has completely perished.
But a sense of unease welled up in Chen Fan's heart.
"military adviser!"
Pigsy ran over.
"The Buddha is dead!"
"Even the Jade Emperor has run away!"
Chen Fan, however, did not laugh.
He looked at the sky.
There, dark clouds rolled in.
An even more terrifying atmosphere is brewing.
"wrong."
Chen Fan murmured.
"Things aren't that simple."
He looked down at the tattered pages of the Book of Fate.
A line of blood-red text appeared above:
"Beyond the Three Realms, there is the Heavenly Dao."
Chen Fan clenched his fist.
"I don't care about your Heavenly Way."
"Dare to block my way."
"Kill them!"
A mountain breeze blows.
Chen Fan's white clothes fluttered in the wind.
He stood amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
His eyes were deep and intense.
"The Three Realms".
"Are you ready?"
"The second round of the game."
"here we go."
(To be continued)
Chapter 128 is the end? Only the old order is dead.
The sky returned to calm.
Chen Fan stood outside the shattered Lingxiao Palace, with the broken image of Buddha behind him.
The Jade Emperor's avatar has dissipated.
The Buddha also paid a heavy price.
Their plot has completely failed.
But Chen Fan did not pursue them.
He knew that if the fighting continued, both the Heavenly Court and Mount Ling would be completely destroyed.
The Three Realms will also perish.
What he wanted was never destruction.
Instead, it's about breaking the old order.
Establish new rules.
Chen Fan turned around and looked at the remaining immortals.
"The Jade Emperor has been deposed."
"The Buddha is seriously injured."
"You want to fight again?"
The gods looked at each other in bewilderment.
No one dared to speak.
Chen Fan sneered.
"roll."
"Go back and tell the Heavenly Court."
"The Book of Fate is not their toy."
"All living beings are no longer pawns."
The gods slunk away.
The image of the Tathagata flickered a few times and then dissipated.
Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
The wounds on my body are throbbing slightly.
But he couldn't care less about that.
There were more important things waiting for him.
---
Chen Fan returned to Flower Fruit Mountain.
My brothers are still here.
Monkey, Pigsy, Sandy, White Dragon Horse...
They are all alive.
This is the greatest victory.
"Big brother!"
The monkey rushed up.
He gave Chen Fan a bear hug.
Are you alright?
"He won't die."
Chen Fan smiled.
His smile looked tired.
"What's next?"
Pigsy came over.
Chen Fan looked into the distance.
"The Heavenly Court and Mount Ling will not let this go."
"But they dare not make another move in the short term."
"so,"
His eyes were deep.
"We need to establish a new order."
"A new order?"
Everyone was stunned.
Chen Fan nodded.
"The Book of Fate must be destroyed."
"The fate of all living beings should be in their own hands."
"Instead of those so-called gods and Buddhas."
He took out the blank scripture.
It shimmered with golden light.
The eight ancient characters were particularly jarring.
"Is destiny something we can't defy?"
Chen Fan sneered.
"I'll defy the heavens!"
He channeled his magic.
The wordless sutra has begun to crumble.
Golden light scattered in all directions.
The control of the Book of Fate has completely disappeared.
Every living being in the Three Realms.
At this moment.
Everyone felt like something was missing.
The constraints are gone.
---
The Three Realms were shaken.
On the Heavenly Court side.
The Jade Emperor was furious.
But he only had a clone left.
Combat strength greatly reduced.
They didn't dare to cause any more trouble for Chen Fan.
Here at Lingshan.
The Buddha's Dharma form collapsed.
It will take time to recover.
Dipankara Buddha stepped forward.
"Tathagata"
"The Jade Emperor."
"This battle."
"We lost."
"But the Three Realms cannot perish along with it."
"Let's agree to a ceasefire."
The Buddha remained silent.
The Jade Emperor remained silent.
They knew it very well.
Keep fighting.
It will only result in mutual destruction.
finally.
Both the Heavenly Court and Mount Ling chose to back down.
They signed a ceasefire agreement.
They will no longer interfere in matters concerning the mortal realm or the demon alliance.
They also completely relinquished control of the Book of Fate.
A new era has begun in the Three Realms.
---
Hell.
Yama looked at the Ksitigarbha Sutra in his hand.
Smile.
"Ksitigarbha".
Did you see that?
"Both the Heavenly Court and Mount Ling have yielded."
"Our underworld."
"Finally, I can be independent."
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva nodded.
"The Three Realms are in flux."
"A new order is taking shape."
"I hope Chen Fan can do it."
"He's right."
"All living beings should not be pawns."
---
Dragon Palace.
Dragon King Ao Guang summoned his clansmen.
"Children."
"The Heavenly Court is finished."
"The Jade Emperor has lost control of the Book of Fate."
"We, the dragons."
"I no longer need to put up with their attitude."
"Go tell all the aquatic creatures."
"I'm free."
The entire Dragon Palace erupted in cheers.
---
The mortal realm.
Countless people knelt on the ground.
They didn't know what had happened.
But they could sense it.
It feels like something's missing.
The constraints are gone.
Your destiny is in your own hands.
This feeling.
very nice.
---
Huaguoshan.
Chen Fan sat on the mountaintop.
Looking at the night sky.
The system interface is flashing.
[Congratulations to the host]
[Mission without ethics completed]
A new order is established in the Three Realms.
[Reward: Fragment of Sky Repairing Page x1]
Chen Fan was stunned.
Fragments of the patchwork paper?
What is that?
He opened his backpack.
A torn page.
It shimmered with a mysterious light.
There are four characters written on it.
There are always higher heavens beyond the heavens.
Chen Fan's pupils contracted.
"What do you mean?"
He had a bad feeling.
The system prompt appeared again.
【warning】
[Extraterrestrial presence detected]
Beyond the Three Realms
[And there is something even more terrifying.]
Chen Fan clenched his fist.
"Damn it."
"Is this ever going to end?"
He thought he had broken through the Heavenly Court and Mount Ling.
That's it.
did not expect.
This is just the beginning.
The tattered pages of the patchwork shimmered.
There are always higher heavens beyond the heavens.
Chen Fan's eyes were deep and profound.
"I don't care about any other heavens or distant lands."
"Dare to come."
"Kill them!"
A mountain breeze blows.
Chen Fan's white clothes fluttered in the wind.
He stood up.
His eyes were firm.
"The Three Realms".
"Are you ready?"
"A new war."
"It's about to begin."
Chapter 129 The New Three Realms, Flower Fruit Mountain Claims the Title of Alliance Leader
At the summit of Huaguo Mountain, clouds and mist swirl around.
Inside the council hall, the seven great sages gathered. The Bull Demon King, the Flood Dragon Demon King, the Roc Demon King, the Lion Camel King, the Macaque King, and the Yu King were present, with one seat empty—the seat of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong.
But today, that spot is empty.
Chen Fan stood in the center of the hall, dressed in pristine white. Behind him stood Ao Lie, Red Boy, and Nezha. Xuanzang stood to the left, holding the Nine-Piece Staff, his expression complex.
"The Great Sage was elected as the leader of the alliance and the chief strategist of the alliance."
The Bull Demon King got straight to the point.
"I'm convinced, Lao Niu."
"But this is such a big operation."
"There has to be someone in charge."
Upon hearing this, the hall fell silent.
The various demon kings looked at each other.
Chen Fan smiled.
The smile was meaningful.
"Old Ox".
"What do you think?"
"Is it good to become emperor?"
The Bull Demon King was stunned for a moment.
"this……"
"According to Lao Niu's idea."
"To become emperor is naturally prestigious."
"but……"
He glanced at the empty seat where Sun Wukong was sitting.
"The Great Sage is not here."
"We need someone to make the decisions."
Chen Fan shook his head.
"I will not become the leader of the alliance."
These words shocked everyone present.
The monkey king was the first to jump up.
"Chen Fan!"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Back then, we attacked the Heavenly Court."
"You're the most proactive!"
"Now you're turning your back on us?"
Chen Fan glanced at him.
"The Monkey King"
"What's your hurry?"
"sit down."
Two words.
not heavy.
But the Monkey King inexplicably shuddered.
He sat down sullenly.
Chen Fan's gaze swept across the entire room.
"Everyone."
"Do you know why I didn't become the leader of the alliance?"
No one answered.
"Because he became emperor."
"It's the same old path taken by the Heavenly Court."
He held up three fingers.
"How did the Heavenly Court perish?"
"The Tathagata is greedy."
"The Jade Emperor is stupid."
"Two useless people."
"One who proclaimed himself emperor."
"A self-proclaimed superior."
"And the result?"
"Useless trash deserves to die."
The Bull Demon King seemed to be deep in thought.
"Old Chen."
"So what do you want?"
Chen Fan stood with his hands behind his back.
"At the beginning."
"What did Guanyin say?"
"The Journey to the West".
"To save all living beings."
"And the result?"
"All living beings have suffered for a thousand years."
He sneered.
"Hypocritical things."
"I've heard it too many times."
"It will cause intellectual disability."
Xuanzang coughed.
"Chen Fan".
"Don't go too far with your words."
"I'm still here."
Chen Fan glanced at him.
Xuanzang.
"You now."
"Is it Buddha or Tang Sanzang?"
Xuanzang remained silent for a moment.
"Tang Sanzang".
"But that Tathagata."
"He's already dead."
Chen Fan nodded.
"That's more like it."
"The Tathagata is dead."
"Buddhism deserves to perish."
He turned around and pointed outside the hall.
"Flower and Fruit Mountain".
"The Hall of All Beings"
"This is no longer the Heavenly Court."
"It's not Mount Ling."
"It is the place of all living beings."
The Bull Demon King frowned.
"There has to be someone in charge."
"Otherwise, each of the demon kings will be leading a disorganized mess."
"Nobody is willing to submit to anyone else."
Chen Fan was prepared.
He stretched out his hand.
"System".
"Allocation plan".
"Bring it here."
Ao Lie stepped forward.
The jade slip in his hand shimmered.
The light shone into the air.
It transforms into a painting.
On the scroll.
It is a map of the Three Realms.
The Bull Demon King is in the first position.
Huaguoshan!
"Flower and Fruit Mountain".
"Headquarters."
"The Bull Demon King guards the area."
The Bull Demon King nodded.
"I'll take this one."
The second position.
West Sea!
"West Sea".
"Ao Lie is in charge."
Ao Lie clasped his hands in a fist salute.
"Thank you, Brother Fan."
The third position.
Flaming Mountain!
"Flaming Mountain".
"Red Boy is in charge."
Red Boy laughed.
"receive!"
The fourth position.
Chen Tang Pass!
"Chentang Pass".
"Nezha guards the area."
"Remain neutral."
Nezha nodded.
"Can."
"But I have one condition."
"explain."
"My dad."
"To be safe."
Chen Fan smiled.
"Li Jing".
"Can."
"Let him take care of you in your old age."
"Do not participate in disputes."
Nezha was satisfied.
"make a deal."
The fifth position.
Wanshou Mountain.
"Wanshou Mountain."
"The Ancestor of Earthly Immortals".
"Zhen Yuanzi?"
"The Monkey King asked."
Chen Fan shook his head.
"Zhen Yuanzi".
"She's awake."
"But he doesn't concern himself with worldly affairs."
"Wanshou Mountain."
"For now, the Earth Immortal will take charge."
The sixth position.
Cuiyun Mountain.
"Cuiyun Mountain".
Princess Iron Fan.
"The Banana Leaf Fan".
"The barrier of the Flaming Mountains."
King Yu asked.
"Anything else?"
Chen Fan reached out his hand.
"There's a seventh spot left."
"Lingshan!"
This statement came out.
The entire room fell silent.
The Buddha has just died.
Mount Ling is without a master.
Now Chen Fan said.
We must occupy Ling Mountain!
The Bull Demon King gasped in shock.
"Old Chen."
Are you serious?
Chen Fan smiled.
"How did the Buddha treat us?"
"He suppressed the monkey for five hundred years."
"They deceived Xuanzang ten times."
"It's time to pay it back."
He looked at Xuanzang.
Xuanzang.
"The sacred mountain belongs to you."
Xuanzang was stunned.
"I?"
"right."
"Didn't you want to save all living beings?"
"Let's go to Lingshan."
"Show it to them."
Xuanzang remained silent for a long time.
long time.
"it is good."
"I'll go."
The last position.
It's empty.
Chen Fan did not mark it.
"The Bull Demon King asked."
"Anything else?"
There's still one spot left.
"Who?"
Chen Fan smiled.
"Flower and Fruit Mountain".
"The Hall of All Beings"
"I."
The entire room fell silent.
Chen Fan's meaning is...
He was in Flower Fruit Mountain.
But not as the leader of the alliance.
It is the overall strategy.
"Alliance Leader."
"It's the Bull Demon King."
"I am the chief strategist."
"Just offer suggestions."
"Does not hold real power."
The Bull Demon King understood.
"What are you doing...?"
"I will not become emperor."
"To be a strategist?"
Chen Fan nodded.
"clever."
"I will not become emperor."
"I won't become Buddha either."
"I'll only be a strategist."
He looked at everyone.
"you."
"Each governs a region."
"Take care of it yourself."
"Something's up."
"Find me."
"OK?"
The hall fell silent.
then.
The Bull Demon King was the first to nod.
"Old Chen."
"OK".
"You speak from now on."
"Listen, Old Ox."
The second one is Ao Lie.
"I'm okay with that too."
The third one is Red Boy.
"OKOK!"
Then came the Lion Camel King, the Roc Demon King, and the Yu King.
Each person expressed their opinion.
Finally, there is the Monkey King.
He nodded.
"OK."
"I'll listen to you."
Chen Fan smiled.
A satisfied smile.
"Alright then."
"Allocation plan".
"It's settled."
He said one last thing.
"besides."
Xuanzang.
"You're not just going to Lingshan."
"You're going to establish a Protestant church."
"The Teaching of All Beings"
"To benefit all people under heaven."
"Save yourself."
"We don't need Tathagata."
"We don't need the Jade Emperor."
"You yourself are Buddha."
"I am an immortal."
Xuanzang remained silent.
then.
He smiled.
A relieved smile appeared on his face.
"it is good."
"I understand."
Chen Fan was satisfied.
Meeting adjourned.
"Everyone go back to their own territory."
"Get ready to work."
The various demon kings rose to their feet.
They filed out.
The main hall was empty.
Only Ao Lie, Red Boy, and Nezha remained.
And Chen Fan.
Chen Fan stood in the empty hall.
Looking at the empty seat for Sun Wukong.
He stretched out his hand.
Gently stroke the seat.
"monkey."
Where are you?
"I miss you."
Behind.
Footsteps.
Look back.
It's Sun Wukong.
He is back.
The Monkey King Returns.
Chen Fan smiled.
"monkey."
"where have you been?"
Sun Wukong did not answer.
He just looked at Chen Fan.
then.
I asked a question.
"Next."
"Where to?"
Chen Fan's smile froze.
He didn't expect it.
That's what Sun Wukong asked.
It's not Flower Fruit Mountain.
It's not an alliance.
Instead.
"Where to?"
Three words.
Meaningful.
Chen Fan remained silent.
this problem.
He hasn't decided yet.
Or.
I've made up my mind.
But I'm not sure.
"monkey."
"What do you want to do?"
Sun Wukong did not answer.
He just smiled.
The smile was meaningful.
then.
He said four words.
"Beyond the Three Realms"
Chen Fan's pupils contracted.
"Beyond the Three Realms?"
"You mean...?"
Sun Wukong did not explain.
He turned around.
They walked out of the hall.
"Ready."
"Let's go."
Chen Fan stood still.
Looking at his back.
"Beyond the Three Realms..."
He murmured.
then.
The smile widened.
"it is good."
"Set off."
A mountain breeze blows.
The flags of Huaguo Mountain fluttered in the wind.
The New Three Realms.
it has started.
Turning back time is futile.
The sky here is not blue.
Instead, it was a deep violet color, covered with cracks, the patterns pulsating like terrified eyes.
Chen Fan looked down at the ground.
"This place..."
He raised his hand and crushed a stone into powder.
The powder dissipated into the purple air, leaving behind a faint smell of burnt feathers.
"Zongwu," he murmured softly.
Before the words were finished, the sound disappeared without a trace after only three steps.
The ground beneath their feet suddenly cracked open, revealing layers of rock that writhed like living flesh.
"Where exactly is this place?"
Zongwu silently translated in his mind, his monkey-like eyes suddenly widening.
"This place has never been recorded in ancient books—"
Before the words were even finished, the earth suddenly erupted.
A figure fell from the sky.
It was a giant wolf forged from black iron, with molten gold dripping from between its fangs.
"How dare you trespass into the void domain!" the giant wolf roared, its voice like tungsten steel grinding violently.
Zongwu cried out in surprise.
"What exactly are you?!"
"I am the Void Reaper," the giant wolf growled.
"You have stolen the power of the origin of the Three Realms."
Return them immediately, or I will tear your souls to pieces!
Chen Fan raised the long stick in his hand.
"The power of the Three Realms?"
I can defeat you without relying on any extraterrestrial power.
The giant wolf burst into loud laughter, the sound of which caused cracks in the sky to spread further.
"Silver-haired monkey!"
The human system around you is nothing more than a child's toy.
Watch closely!
The giant wolf tore through space with a single punch, and a black hole appeared out of thin air behind it.
Zongwu had no time to dodge and was instantly pulled towards the gravity, letting out a miserable scream.
"stop!"
Chen Fan swung his stick and swept it fiercely.
The long staff absorbed the entire black hole, transforming it into a bright mirror.
He held the mirror and smashed it hard into the giant wolf's chest.
"boom!"
The mirror shattered instantly.
The giant wolf let out a deafening roar, its form transforming into a swarm of iron bats filling the sky.
Chen Fan's system popped up a notification.
[Void Reaper's Essence Blood]: Can be converted into physical energy.
He activated the system's power.
One strike, and he thought to himself.
The long staff in his hand suddenly burst into flames.
The swarm of bats scattered and fled instantly.
The giant wolf let out a mournful howl, and its body collapsed with a crash, turning into a pile of dry bones.
"Finally solved."
Chen Fan gently stroked the long stick.
At this moment, the staff was enveloped in new energy, trembling and humming slightly.
"Zongwu, you're lucky."
"This system's essence could have killed you... It won't now, but it might in the future," he warned.
Zongwu nodded repeatedly.
Thank you.
We must leave this place immediately; we should not linger.
The two stepped out of the void and into a boundless desert.
The sand beneath my feet was soft and warm, and the air was filled with the scent of withered flowers.
Ahead in the distance—
A colossal mountain of white bones stood out starkly.
Deep within the mountain, there is a black crystal door.
"This can't be real..."
Zongwu muttered to himself.
What we see before us is not an illusion.
As Chen Fan spoke, he slowly walked towards the black crystal door.
The black crystal door cracked open on its own and slowly began to open.
Inside the door was a secret room filled with gears.
In the center of the secret room stood a faceless woman, her body pieced together from countless mechanical parts.
The woman slowly turned her head and looked at the two of them.
"It's you all," the woman said, her voice like the ticking of a thousand clocks.
"You have taken the Annihilation Star."
Hand it over.
Zongwu gritted his teeth and clenched his fist.
"We don't have that at all!"
"You have it in you."
The woman's tone was cold.
"Now that star power resides within you, you monkey."
"Hand it over obediently, or I will wipe out the Three Realms completely."
"What?!"
Chen Fan gripped the long stick tightly.
"How could my system be bound to such a dangerous thing?!"
"Just because you'll stop at nothing to survive."
As the woman spoke, she pulled down the control lever beside her.
The gears instantly emitted a piercing roar.
The entire secret room began to collapse.
Chen Fan reacted extremely quickly.
He swung his stick and slammed it into the ground.
The long stick pierced through layers of gears, and the resulting shockwave sent the woman staggering backward.
"Run away."
The woman gave a subtle warning.
"But don't run too slowly—"
The ground suddenly exploded.
The two were thrown into the air by the shockwave.
By the time they landed, the black crystal door had already disappeared.
The giant mountain of white bones behind them has also turned into a flat wasteland.
Zongwu's face turned deathly pale.
"What...what did we miss?"
Chen Fan checked the system panel.
[Annihilation Star]: No longer bound.
[Void Reaper's Essence]: Activated
"That woman was just following orders."
He said in a deep voice.
"She doesn't have the Annihilation Star in her possession."
They're just trying to scare us with lies.
Zongwu scoffed.
"Either she's just bluffing... or we're just lucky."
Chen Fan frowned.
"We need to leave here immediately."
I have a feeling that there's always a pair of eyes watching us from the shadows.
As soon as they finished speaking, the yellow sand beneath their feet suddenly froze solid.
Immediately afterwards, a giant foot slowly stepped out from beneath the frozen ground.
It was a colossal stone beast, hundreds of meters tall.
His eyes shimmered with a golden light, revealing an age-old, undying thirst for devouring.
"Another guardian."
Chen Fan remained calm, already understanding the situation.
"You have trespassed into a forbidden area."
"If you want to live, take my hand."
Zongwu saw through the other party's intentions at a glance.
"Absolutely impossible!"
He grabbed Chen Fan's long stick.
"You're just asking for trouble."
Chen Fan spoke up.
"Then let's see if you're right or wrong."
He swung his stick horizontally.
The long staff slammed heavily onto the giant beast's paw.
The giant beast's paws cracked instantly, like cracked pottery.
The behemoth was enraged and swung its massive arm out.
A giant boulder the size of a palace crashed down on the two of them.
Chen Fan leaped into the air.
Energize the Void Reaper's essence and blood to enhance movement speed.
He caught the boulder steadily in mid-air.
He then threw the boulder back with all his might.
The impact ripped a chasm across the wasteland.
One of the giant beast's arms was shattered and sent flying.
It turned around abruptly, its eyes blazing with fury.
"this……"
Zongwu's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he muttered to himself.
"This is completely illogical!"
There is no such thing as common sense.
Chen Fan instantly understood.
"It is the guardian of the Void Realm."
Bound here by an ancient contract—
Before he could finish speaking, the giant beast pounced again.
Zongwu was thrown away by the shockwave.
Chen Fan reached out and pulled him back in time.
The two rolled over and fell into a hidden cave.
A faint glow lingered on the inner walls of the cave.
In the center of the cave stands a mural depicting three figures forging and melting the Annihilation Star.
Did you see that?
Chen Fan pointed to the mural.
"That faceless void woman is lying."
She is not a guardian at all.
It's just a puppet.
Zongwu blinked.
"substitute?
What does that mean?
Chen Fan did not answer.
He stepped forward and gently placed the long stick on the mural.
The mural's light suddenly surged, revealing a string of numbers: 3277.
"This is……"
Zong Wu had just opened his mouth to ask a question.
"It's nothing."
Chen Fan interrupted.
"It's just a countdown."
What happens when the countdown ends?
Before Zongwu could finish asking his question, the light inside the cave suddenly dimmed.
The entire cave trembled violently.
Above the cave, the cracks in the violet sky grew wider.
From within the crack, a shower of molten gold stars fell.
But those that fell were not stars.
Instead, they were cold, icy eyes.
"This is a big problem."
Zongwu sighed helplessly.
Chen Fan immediately activated the system.
[WARNING]: Annihilation Heavenly Eye detected.
He leaped into the air, and the long staff in his hand transformed into a chain.
He grabbed Zongwu and flew through the air.
"Jump!"
The two fell straight into a deep pit filled with billowing black mist.
Chen Fan's system popped up a notification.
[Black Fog Resistance]: Insufficient.
He bent down and lowered his head.
The black mist swept in, like scorching flames.
The skin instantly began to char and turn black.
"We're doomed this time!"
Zongwu shouted in a hoarse voice.
"not necessarily."
After Chen Fan finished speaking, he slammed the long stick into the ground.
The long staff instantly transformed into a towering pillar of black fire.
The black mist was forced to retreat step by step by the raging flames.
Holding a long stick, he carved out a passage on the spot.
"This is our temporary escape route, let's go!"
The two successfully escaped the deep pit.
Outside the exit is a cliff.
The countless eyes formed from the stars below were coldly watching them.
"We must go deeper."
Chen Fan said.
"Come with me."
Just then, the celestial phenomena suddenly changed.
Countless eyes converged, forming a gigantic face.
"We've finally waited for you."
The grand voice echoed directly in their minds.
"You have taken away what I held in my hands."
I am the Key to the Three Realms.
"Hand over the Annihilation Star...or we will annihilate you completely."
"We don't have that at all!"
Zongwu retorted loudly.
"Then let me take it."
The Key to the Three Realms finished speaking.
Millions of eyes opened simultaneously and attacked the two of them.
Chen Fan received a system synchronization update notification.
[Key Game Progress]: 1/1000 Completed.
He smiled faintly.
"This explanation is far too perfunctory."
He gripped the long stick tightly in his hand.
"Then let's see who's the best."
He suddenly charged forward with the stick in his hand.
The eyes formed from the Key of the Three Realms emitted a sharp shriek and were shattered one by one by the long staff.
The force of the collapsing space blasted the two back onto the cliff.
Zongwu was already exhausted.
Chen Fan reached out and helped him up.
"What exactly was that thing just now?"
Zongwu asked.
"Just a low-end clone."
Chen Fan spoke frankly.
"The so-called Key to the Three Realms is nothing more than a weak clone that split off from the true annihilation star."
Zongwu frowned deeply.
"But why does it feel so real?"
"It is a real existence."
Chen Fan said frankly.
"The true annihilation star lies hidden in the shadows."
And it is closely connected to the entire void domain.
Before the words were even finished, the cliff began to crack and collapse.
"Run!"
Chen Fan grabbed Zong Wu's arm.
The two fled at breakneck speed, and the cliff behind them collapsed with a final roar.
When the two landed in a wilderness overgrown with spiritual herbs, the sky above them had already disappeared.
Instead, there is an endless sea of stars.
Zongwu stared blankly at the scene before him.
"We have completely transcended the boundaries of the Three Realms."
Chen Fan intently observed the starry sky.
One of the stars has a pulsation frequency far exceeding that of the others.
The system then displayed a prompt.
[Origin of the Annihilated Star]: Awakening probability 5%.
Zongwu whistled.
"What are you planning to do next?!"
"Heading straight for that star."
Chen Fan's gaze was firm.
"Go find the true Annihilation Star."
Zongwu nodded emphatically.
"Even if it's a dead end, you'd still go?"
Even if I die and my cultivation dissipates,
Chen Fan spoke in a deep voice, "I will make your demise far more meaningful than this false Key to the Three Realms."
The two stepped into the sea of stars.
The starry sky swallowed all sound, and all around was silent.
"Come with me."
Chen Fan led the way.
"This way."
Right behind him—
The rapidly pulsating star suddenly burst forth with light.
A dark shadow slowly emerged from it; it was not a living creature or beast, but a concept of law.
Formless and shapeless.
It represents silence, greed, and the end of all rules in the world.
"What the hell is that thing?!"
Zongwu screamed in terror.
"We will encounter many more like us in the future."
Chen Fan's expression was solemn.
"This conflict is far from over."
He reactivated the system.
[Holy Crimson Pact]: Breakthrough amplification of 100%.
"Then let's rewrite this predetermined fate."
He muttered to himself.
"Chapter by chapter, overturning the chessboard."
Just as the shadow pounced—
Suddenly, a huge crack appeared in the earth.
A giant tail formed from starlight suddenly swept out.
Its tail is lively and vibrant, carrying a terrifying desire to devour the mind.
"Whatever you do, don't let it touch your face!"
Zongwu hurriedly reminded him.
The two turned and ran away.
Wherever the giant tail passed, everything was annihilated and shattered.
Running all the way to the end—
The two collapsed beside an ordinary blue stone.
The surroundings were boundless chaos, and only this piece of blue stone was small and ordinary.
Chen Fan glanced at the blue stone, then looked at the approaching shadows.
"Zongwu".
He began to speak.
"Take this."
He braced his long staff against the bluestone.
The bluestone instantly shimmered with light.
"This is it."
Chen Fan said.
"The origin of all stories."
Zongwu looked on in astonishment.
"You mean this stone contains immense power?"
"It's a test question."
Chen Fan looked at him and smiled slightly.
"It's up to you to provide the answer."
You know what to do.
The shadows were already closing in.
Zongwu resolutely stepped forward and reached out to grasp the bluestone.
The instant my fingertips touched the bluestone—
Suddenly, the world was plunged into complete darkness.
When their vision returned, the two found themselves in a vast and empty hall.
The walls of the palace are constructed of endless mirrors, stretching as far as the eye can see.
In the center of the main hall, the real Annihilation Star floats.
It is not in the form of a star.
Instead, it was an ancient and imposing gate.
The giant gate slowly opened.
A distant whisper drifted from inside the door—
"Witness the ultimate karmic debt owed by the Three Realms."
Zongwu's knees buckled, and he knelt down on the ground.
"What does this mean?!"
Chen Fan did not respond.
He slowly raised the long stick.
"Then I will personally settle this matter of cause and effect."
The giant gate began to spin rapidly.
Deep within the door, a brand new door reappears.
This door has no carved decorations.
There were no warnings or proverbs.
Only one line of text is imprinted on the sky:
"Who dares to quell the cataclysm in the void?"
