After returning from the Wei River Dragon Palace last time, Sun Wukong learned about Wang Mang's situation from the Land God of Dashi Street and also inquired about the current Emperor of the Great Han.
Based on the past experiences he had gathered, the Emperor's ability was not sufficient to turn around the declining fate of the Han Dynasty, let alone complete the upgrade of the agricultural civilization and the establishment of the city god system.
These two matters were crucial for the completion of both the human Dao and the earth Dao, which required the cooperation of a wise and virtuous Emperor. There was no room for error.
Thus, upon seeing the Emperor of the Great Han full of expectation and longing, Sun Wukong simply said, "The hidden workings of Heaven must not be revealed. Do your best as a mortal, and leave the rest to destiny."
A trace of despondency flickered across Han Emperor Liu Xin's expression, but he still bowed respectfully.
