Chapter 966 Reversing Time, Calling the Great Sage Three Times

Time in this world is extremely suppressed. Even those with great supernatural powers cannot easily intervene. At most, they can only observe. They cannot reverse time, intercept a certain period of time, let alone accelerate or stop time. All of this is suppressed by the strict heavenly laws laid down by the Jade Emperor, which prevent anyone from messing with time.

Although it has been some time since the birth of Sun Wukong with the surname Luo, we have now entered the year of Yu the Great's flood control. His golden cudgel is already being forged. The Jade Emperor issued a decree, with Laozi leading the way, the Twenty-Eight Constellations assisting, and all kinds of gods working together to finally complete the forging of this precious iron for Yu the Great to stabilize the bottom of the Milky Way.

Now, in the Tushita Palace, his good name has spread throughout the four seas and eight wastelands, waiting for Yu the Great to come and borrow it.

"This Laozi is quite shrewd. He used this golden cudgel to share a small portion of the merits of Yu the Great's flood control efforts, and he will also share in the morality of my old Sun's journey to the West. What a brilliant plan. I'll do my own thing someday. You guys write your Journey to the West, and I'll write my own Journey to the East."

"And there are also Journey to the South, Journey to the North, Journey to the Middle, Journey to the Stars..."

Luo Zu immediately rattled off a long list of names, recounting all four great travelogues.

In any case, calamities are things created by gods and immortals. If they say they exist, then they exist; if they say they don't, then they don't exist.

Just like the story of Journey to the West, the current ordeal experienced by Luo Zu and others was also set up by Donghuang Taiyi. And these great gods also set up all kinds of tribulations in the prehistoric world to give to their subordinates or certain mortals they favored.

This is to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to practice and achieve immortality.

This world is truly meant to be a trial, forbidding mortals from becoming immortals, or limiting their chances of becoming immortals. After all, this world is closed off, and even the most powerful beings do not have the ability to create matter or create something from nothing. Therefore, since this world is not growing, it is natural to restrict those who come after.

"With abundant magical power, enduring through the ages, even heroes of the ages must look to this day." Luo Zu surveyed the world and felt a surge of emotions.

If one wishes to achieve immortality in this world, it is actually quite simple: simply discard all desires, transform into a wisp of scenery, a rock, or a ladle of water in the world, or a natural law—that is all.

Otherwise, one must climb step by step to the highest point, reaching that pinnacle of existence, the realm of the Great Celestial Venerable and Tathagata.

However, even the Jade Emperor has his tribulations, and even the Buddha has his moments of Nirvana, but they will surely return.

Moreover, the one who returns must be the Jade Emperor, and must be the Buddha.

But the Jade Emperor will remain in his throne, while Tathagata will likely become a Buddha of the past, relegated to the depths of the Western Paradise, no longer able to sit securely on the lotus throne of the Great Thunder Temple on Mount Ling. Instead, Maitreya Buddha or another Buddha will take his place.

As Luo Zu roamed the universe, a voice suddenly called out to him:

"Great Sage! Great Sage! Great Sage~~"

"Who is making such a racket here?" Luo Zu "looked" at a little monkey standing around him.

This monkey is unusual in appearance. It is tall, has long arms, is covered in silver, has six ears, one mouth, two eyes, and one nose.

"When did a six-eared macaque appear in my mountains?" Luo Zu wondered.

"Great Sage, Great Sage, it's me, Little Six!" the monkey was still calling out to him.

"What? There's a Great Sage this early? Could it be that you, Donghuang, are also going to mess around with time travel? Didn't we seal off time and space?" Luo Zu naturally didn't respond to the Six-Eared Macaque and continued to be a stone.

As for his birth, there's no need to worry about it. Even if he doesn't choose to be born, someone else will help him.

The script has been finalized; everything is predetermined and will not be changed according to anyone's will.

"Great Sage, Journey to the West is all a scam! Don't believe it! Don't believe it!" the Six-Eared Macaque cried out again.

"Do you think I don't know what kind of person Journey to the West is?" Luo Zu still ignored the guy.

Everyone else seems detached from the story, but you, little macaque, seem to be too immersed in it.

Luo Zu was too lazy to tease him, so he just ignored him and let him howl.

"Great Sage, Great Sage, when will your consciousness awaken? Wake up quickly, wake up quickly, don't let those bald monks ruin your life!"

Luo Zu ignored him, as long as this guy didn't wipe his snot and tears on him.

Strange things can be disgusting.

"Great Sage... Great Sage... Great Sage!!"

The creature was still wailing, and all the living things on the mountain could hear it.

Only the hairy gods who monitor the spirits of the naturally produced stones did not see it.

When Luo Zu opened his Dharma Eye and looked, the reason became clear: it was because of the supernatural power that the Six Ears possessed, which allowed it to shield its own aura. Even if a great immortal from this world were to come here, he would not be able to see its trace.

"Good, good, this guy was just causing trouble."

He then made some calculations.

Unfortunately, the secrets of heaven were obscured, and a powerful deity was causing trouble, making it impossible for him to calculate the situation.

"Great Heavenly Venerable, Great Heavenly Venerable, this humble god has something to ask of me." Luo Zu's divine consciousness soared into the Nine Heavens and landed in the Lingxiao Palace.

The Jade Emperor was meditating with his eyes closed when he heard Luo Zu calling him. He opened his eyes and asked, "Wukong, what do you want to tell me?"

"Great Celestial Venerable, please don't joke. I am Luo Zu." Luo Zu wanted to transform into human form, but reality did not allow it, and his scattered divine consciousness could not gather into a body.

"Why aren't you living a peaceful life as a stone in the mortal realm? What brings you to me today?" the Great Heavenly Venerable immediately questioned.

Luo Zu remained completely unperturbed, chuckling as he asked, "Did the Great Celestial Venerable send a Six-Eared Macaque to test this young man?"
