Lord Shadow

Chapter 1380: The Monkey and The Emperor IIʼYou seem to be explaining thing. Who do you want to explain to? To me? Or to yourself?ʼ        

The Monkey only smiles.      

Then he waves the small stick on his hand in the air. The stick suddenly enlarged itself to the size of a normal staff.    

ʼI will be going out now. Donʼt call me and donʼt put me in your plans. I have to train for a while. After all, the Destroyer is not some kind of a small fry in the Omniverseʼ the Monkey flash a smile showing his fang.    

Then he throws his stick to the sky.      

In less than a second that stick reach the clouds and then the entire skies seem to crack.      

A cracking sound could be heard echoing all around, creating a powerful shockwave that causes the entire plains to be in a state of destruction.    

BOOOM!    

With a sound of explosion, the Monkey and the Jade Emperor is once again in the private room.      

ʼThis is why I told you to remove the sealʼ the Monkey said    

The Jade Emperor could only sigh.      

Then the monkey simply opens the front door of the room and then fly toward the skies, the clouds and the wind shrouded his figure so that no immortals of the Heavenly Court even notices him    

However, in a mountain peak surrounded by clouds and golden air, a being with wings on his back opened his eyes. Then another eyes opened in the middle of his forehead.    

It is Erlang, one of the top figure in the Heavenly Palace    

Erlang had noticed the Demon Monkey but he did not do anything.    

ʼIt seems that the Jade Emperor probably is talking something with the Monkeyʼ Erlang did not know what had happened.    

But he knows that the Monkey is not someone he could easily detain. And he is still busy with trying to capture the Annihilator.      

A few days ago they managed to find the Annihilator. They fought him in a deserted planet, destroys a few star system in the process and managed to banish that monster into some dead universe.    

But, knowing the Annihilator traits, he would surely break out from that dead universe and found living universes.    

Maybe, there is now a change to the Annihilator.      

And the Seven Intergalactic Power is moving weirdly now so Erlang could not rely on them to send experts to constrain the Annihilator.      

He sighed    

Odin seems to have disappeared.      

That is what he heard from his people in Asgard.      

And Hades and Poseidon seems to be close.      

Some of his spies raise the possibility that those two is thinking of rebelling against Zeus.          

He then closes his third eye and pretend that he did not see anything.      

He then looks at another direction. His eyes seem to pierce through the clouds, looking at one of the shining stars above the skies.    

ʼEvening Star also sees that monkey. Though, I doubt he dares trying to stop that Monkeyʼ      

Evening Star might have mysterious power and hold great power in the court and had some kind of Karma with that Demon Monkey, but Erlang is quite sure if Evening Star try to stop that monkey, that stick on the Monkey hand is not a decoration.      

Erlang sighed and then continue nursing his injuries, not caring much that the Monkey met the Emperor.    

It might be the Western Paradise business. Meddling too much is not good. At the same time, Erlang notices this, there are others that also notices this    

There is six being with coercive power whose gaze also look at the Monkey.      

They might not be able to pierce through the anti-surveillance methods of the Heavenly Palace, but when the Monkey came to the Palace and when he leaves, all of this is seen by these six beings.      

Auspicious signs and clouds filled with merits surrounded these six people.      

They seem to be in many places all at once yet they also seem to be sitting close to each other.    

Sitting on stars and planets, they seem to have no worries.      

But when they saw the Monkey and then sense a conflict between the Emperor and the Monkey, they all could tell that something is happening.      

They all calculated in their minds and their eyebrows furrowed like they were stumped by some difficult question.      

ʼFate and Destiny is changingʼ one of them said    

ʼSince the time is near and that Time God did that, it is not that surprisingʼ one of them said, sitting under a giant lotus    

ʼNo, this is differentʼ someone said, a painting floats behind his back.      

ʼThe Monkey has grown stronger; he is tempering his body with Chaotic energyʼ another spoke.      

Then they sighed.      

Their words might sound simple but there is hidden meaning to it that only they understand.      

They wanted to take action but from the words that some of them said, these six beings did not do anything and just watch as the Monkey went out from the range of the Three Thousand Worlds.      

These six beings could get up and chase the monkey but they could somehow see that would be counterproductive.      

These six beings are none other than the Six Saints. Probably the Monkey could also tell that he is being watched. But he doesnʼt seem to care    

The one sitting above a golden lotus then said    

ʼHe is defiant again. This time, a palm would not be able to extinguish this fireʼ The other five nodded but then they went silence      

Their eyes closed as they seem to all went to sleep.          

Inside the Emperor private room, Jade Emperor could only sigh.      

Even though he could not feel the coercion or sense the gazing eyes of the Saints upon him, he could tell that those Saints would probably be very interested in what the Monkey is doing.      

But, it was not like during the era of Great Competition in the past.      

The Monkey is not a simple monkey anymore and if anyone wanted to try to put him in their chessboard they need to first weigh whether they could handle the Monkey now    

ʼThese Six Saints…. I donʼt know to hate you or pity youʼ Jade Emperor thought to himself.      

He sat back down on his chair and lean back and close his eyes. It was almost like he was overwhelmed by the many matters he had to attend to    

ʼSince this could not work, then I have to change the planʼ he said unresigned. But even if he is unresigned what could he do right now    

And he is also thinking of what the Monkey told him.    

However, the Monkey is a lone force. There is disadvantages to being a lone force but there is also advantages.      

The Monkey did not like to lean on the Western Paradise and he even hated leaning on the Heavenly Palace.    

These two forces calculated him so badly in the past, how could he ever ask these two forces for help.    

But, because he is a lone force, he could easily act according to his belief, following his own path and being brave and foolish.    

He could bear the consequences, not afraid of the Heaven and not mindful of the world. But he, the Jade Emperor could not choose to be foolish.      

Because this Empire had many people in it. Mortals govern a few million people and those who are righteous among them always fear that they would rule unwisely and implicate the people into desolation and great disaster.    

But he the Jade Emperor, controls Three Thousand Worlds, immortal, mortals and everything in between.      

And un like mortal kings and corrupt politician of the mortal world, he has a very impartial supervisor, the Heavenly Will.      

The Jade Emperor could not force the Monkey to follow his plan. Maybe, in the past he could force that Monkey. But this is no longer the past. And the Monkey is the Victorious Fighting Enlightened.      

The Western Paradise would also back him up even though they themselves does not like that Monkey that much    

After all, they owe Karma to that Monkey.      

Not to mention, that from the powerful fluctuation of energy that the monkey had emanated when he broke the seal of illusion, it seems that he had a hint of a power that surpasses the Saints.    

ʼThe demon in the heart has been destroyed, Karma has been paid, so the heart become carefree and a breakthrough is imminentʼ      

This is what he surmises.      

The Monkey had solved some problems of his past and is now ready to breakthrough.    

Of course, Jade Emperor knows how the Monkey managed to achieve this. This is why the Monkey owes Karma to that mortal.      

The mortal opens the palm and the final respect is paid.          

(refers to Azief adventure in the martial art world where he takes a disciple.)    

Would the Western Paradise let the monkey be?      

But if he succeeds, they could only let him be, the Jade Emperor thought to himself      

He waves his hand and a golden book suddenly appears in front of him. The book opens up, the pages moves automatically and then stopped at a certain page.    

He first looks at the pages. The pages are empty. Of course, it only looks that way as this book has certain methods to read it    

If not, it would be so easy to infiltrate the Jade Empire security method    

Jade Emperor raise his finger and a golden brush appears on his hand, taking it between his finger. Then he crosses one part of the book    

At the same time, it was like something had changed. Space and time, cause and effect, certain fate and destiny lines is changed.      

ʼHavoc of Heaven is cancelled.ʼ Then he seems to look at the book and the pages flipped automatically again and then he nodded    

ʼSince Havoc of Heaven could not be staged, then I guess we have to stage back the Investiture of the Godsʼ    

Then the book closed by itself and dissipated into motes of golden light    

Jade Emperor leaned his body back to his chair and close his eyes. On the edge of the corner of his mouth, there is a smile forming
