What surprised Sun Wukong was the reaction of the Jade Emperor and his entourage.
Up until now, the Jade Emperor had shown no reaction whatsoever.
Even if he stepped forward to denounce it, or even laughed coldly a few times, it wouldn't have had as good an effect as now.
But ever since rumors started circulating, he hadn't made an appearance, and nearly a month had passed.
Under the deliberate influence of the Ziwei Heavenly Court, people took the Jade Emperor's evasion as tacit consent.
Yes, everyone believed that the Jade Emperor had tacitly agreed.
Sun Wukong had a strange expression, unsure what medicine the Jade Emperor was selling in his gourd.
Even the immortals of Huaguo Mountain, privy to the inside story, were starting to believe those rumors at this point.
Mainly because those rumors were too fleshed out.
Even if they wanted to disbelieve, it wasn't possible.
"Great Saint, are those rumors true? Is the Jade Emperor really a creature from beyond the heavens?"
