When Sun Wu kong spread his divine sense to his surroundings, he was shocked to his core.
He thought he was teleported to a cave by Lord Shoora in a hidden mountain range as all experts usually do, but who knows when he came out of the cave...
He saw three "SUNS" shining brightly on his head, there were a lot of metal objects flying around without the use of spirit energy, unlike the spiritual tools he knew back then.
The cave he thought he was at happened to be positioned on the 32nd floor of some strange rectangular looking Glass-made tall Pagoda which consisted of around 200 floors on it.
There are lots of those weird looking Pagodas around him which covered at least a 1000 li.
There are people walking in the air, some were drifting on the air by standing on a strange leaf-like board, while some were sitting on the rectangular metal object to travel through the air.
There are very few people walking on the ground.
These people wore different kinds of clothes with exactly the same symbol on everybody`s back.
These clothes were different from the Daoist robes from Sun Wu kong`s time.
There was delight dancing in the air with children`s laughter who are flying in the air on their weird leaf-like boards. Everbody is busy and the place in front of him is bustling with different kinds of sounds which felt new to him.
The scene in front of Sun Wu kong made him think "What a new and different looking world. This Era is really thriving."
"Senior, am I still on the star EARTH. Everything here feels so new to me. I still can`t believe that I came to this place after crossing through the gate." said Sun wu kong with a flushed face.
"You are still on the EARTH star." said Lord Shoora with a bitter voice which Sun wu kong couldn`t notice who was excited upon the discovery of the new world.
After his excitement died out Sun wu kong finally noticed that there are THREE SUNS in the sky.
"Senior, in our Era Lord Hou Yi killed 9 out of 10 suns ( 10 suns are children of Jade Emperor.), but here, there are three SUNS in the sky, were they being resurrected?" asked Sun wu kong while looking coldly at the three SUNS in the sky, thinking the situation is grave.
"No, the GODHOOD of mischievous children of Jade Emperor were totally destroyed by Hou Yi. The other two Suns are replicas made by these greedy humans." said Lord Shoora not caring a whoop.
"AMAZING!!! Does that mean there are many experts produced in this Era to the point of creating replicas of ALMIGHTY SUN? I thought these humans are using tricks to fly in the air because I couldn`t sense any energy from them" said Sun wu kong feeling skeptical.
"Humph, these petty humans as always being greedy, created many short-cut paths deviating from the KINGLY WAY OF CULTIVATION." said Lord Shoora while remembering some past events.
"So..., don`t tell me that you took me out just to show off that you are living in this booming Era." said Sun wu kong showing disdain to Lord Shoora while still feeling envious in his heart.
"Cheh..., you don`t know the plights of my misery." said lord Shoora while feeling sorry for himself.
"HO..., I am all ears you know, I am waiting for your DAMN explanation for eons now." said Sun wu kong while feeling he may have aged a lot after meeting Lord Shoora.
"Humph, you just saw one side of the COIN, you haven`t seen the other side of the cruelty yet. observe the south side from here," said Lord Shoora.
Sun wu kong spread his divine sense to the direction Lord Shoora pointed to only feel his soul shaken.
The lands at the south were barren lands with corpses lying everywhere.
once every while there are creatures similar to eagles and vultures but ugly to behold flew to those corpses and enjoyed their meal. Children who are bare naked were searching the corpses for food and some are eating the shoe laces clothes and rotten meat of the corpses as they couldn`t contain their hunger.
There are some people who wore a black dress and masks on their faces. They snatched whatever they find to their liking even women and children on the field.
The scene Sun wu kong saw made his soul shudder that there are tears rolling on his cheeks.
The whole place was filled with DESPAIR and LAWLESSNESS.
"What is this?" asked Sun wu kong with righteousness indignation.
"Senior, I am asking you what happened to that place?" Sun wukong was roaring toward Lord Shoora with rage in his eyes.
As a CULTIVATOR, As a BODHISATTVA, no matter what he did, it is a minimum responsibility of every cultivator to take care of the weaklings and not bring disasters upon them.
"Lord Shoora, is this your SENIORITY? Others say that you are the great lord of compassion and you would help everyone regardless of their race and gender. Where is the Great Monkey Sage I knew of, did you become a coward after living through millenniums." shouted Sun wu kong.
Lord Shoora only gave him a look of melancholy as his answer.
"You know what is most painful? Being all-powerful, but can only look at those poor children helplessly EVERY DAY lamenting at my uselessness." said Lord Shoora with grief.
"You have just arrived at this place. But I had been living through the eras witnessing the changes in the world but couldn`t change a DAMN thing." said Lord Shoora.
Sun wu kong gripped Lord Shoora`s shoulder and said " I am sorry senior, It had been difficult for you."
"You don`t need to feel sorry, I had been enduring so long just for the arrival of this child. That`s why even if it is dishonorable to live this long I had not unsealed my strength." said Lord Shoora while looking at the peacefully sleeping child.
"Senior, you mean to say that you already knew that child`s arrival." asked Sun wu kong.
"No, it`s just that I had used LIFE DIVINATION technique on the future development of this universe and found that there is something going to happen at that south sea that is going to change the course of this universe. If I had not come on that day I am sure you would have been dead by now" said Lord Shoora.
"Senior, What do you mean? What can a child do?" asked Sun wu kong worriedly.
"I don`t know, but this child seems to be abnormal and perhaps our only hope for the future. so we need to protect him at all costs." said Lord Shoora.
"Senior, just what happened to these Old Immortals and Martial Artists."
"You should have formed an alliance with them." said Sun wu kong.
~~sigh~~
"There are no more Martial Artists and Immortals."
"It is the age of Inborn GODS, MUTANTS and trades from other universes." said Lord Shoora.
"Lord Buddha thought he was protecting us by sealing the universe but unfortunately he was wrong. He just caged us in without an escape route, only to get rotten from inside." said depressed Lord Shoora.
"What do you mean by that? Lord Buddha never makes mistakes, after all, he is said to be no.1 in terms of wits and intelligence." said Sun wu kong.
"Before Lord Buddha sealed our universe, the experts of other universes had infiltrated our universe and hid. After Lord Buddha died, these DAMN THIEVES had come out of their rat holes and started attacking our sealed experts. No one could fight back, everyone, every single one of them had died due to their powerlessness. Even if some experts escaped they are living at hideouts like me. Now our whole universe is DAMN PUPPETS of those THIEVES." said Lord Shoora while his body is twitching with rage.
"OLD MONKEY, YOU ARE RIGHT, WE ARE PUPPETS, WHAT CAN YOU DO TO US? HUUH?"
While Sun wu kong and Lord Shoora were talking about the past events, There was someone who was observing them from above the clouds.
