Seeing him so anxious, Sun Wukong smiled.
"Your words put me at ease," he said.
Great Emperor Ziwei completely came to his senses, a sharp glint in his eyes, and said, "You aim to confront Tathagata, yet you've dragged in the Jade Emperor. I understand now. The Jade Emperor's fake death and Tathagata's fake death must have been part of their plan. Could it be that the Jade Emperor deliberately bolstered the power of the Buddhist Realm to counterbalance the Daoist Sect's influence over the Heavenly Court?"
Sun Wukong's expression showed a trace of admiration.
This fellow's intelligence finally matched his stature.
"But why would the Jade Emperor do this? He is himself a Great Heavenly Venerate of the Daoist Sect. After The Three Pure Ones, who hold themselves aloof, he should be the supreme deity."
Great Emperor Ziwei was somewhat bewildered.
Sun Wukong didn't speak, merely staring at Great Emperor Ziwei, waiting to see how much he could figure out on his own.
