Chapter 15: Simulation Resurgence

[This year, you have turned three hundred thirty years old.]

Upon seeing the first line of text appear on the simulator, Sun Wukong couldn't help but snicker, "This simulator can even report one's age now, how curious!"

Continuing to read on, he saw the following scene—

[This year, you inducted Ao Yun into Huaguo Mountain, allowing her to become the second great king of Huaguo Mountain and manage the horde of demons.]

[The other demon kings privately disapproved, but Ao Yun resolved all disputes, gradually adapted to the life of the second great king, and diligently practiced the "Celestial Dragon" spell you taught her, significantly increasing her combat prowess.]

Sun Wukong thought to himself, "It seems Ao Yun has good potential."

It's just a bit regrettable.

Because the scenes in the simulator mainly involved himself—his counterpart listening to Ao Yun's reports and occasionally patrolling the seventy-two districts of Huaguo Mountain—so he didn't know the specifics of how Ao Yun managed things.

However, now that he knew Ao Yun was capable, the current Sun Wukong truly felt at ease.

With her there, he could save a lot of time.

[At the age of three hundred thirty-one, you visited Ao Lai, where you formed ties with the King of Ao Lai. On your way back, you encountered a rogue flood dragon with a single horn, who heard that there was a beautiful dragon maiden in Huaguo Mountain and, consumed by lustful thoughts, desired to take the dragon maiden as his concubine.]

[The arrogant flood dragon had no respect for others, bearing heavy karmic sins of slaughter, and you killed it with a single strike of your rod.]

[The dragon maiden held you in extreme admiration.]

[At the age of three hundred thirty-two, you visited the Western Bull Demon Continent to pay a visit to Ancestral Master Subhuti and engaged in enlightening discussions, enjoying the conversation immensely before departing with reluctance.]

[On the way, you had a sudden thought that among the four great continents, you had never visited the Northern Jambu Continent, so with a somersault, you arrived at the territory of the Northern Jambu Continent.]

[The Northern Jambu Continent is a land occupied by powerful demons, rife with evil spirits, but they only fight among themselves in a survival of the fittest manner, lacking sophisticated cruelty. Traveling through this land, you believe it should be unified by someone to educate these demons that only know of life and death.]

[You later encountered the Lion Camel King, Yurong King, Mi Monkey King, and Peng Demon King, noticing that each of them had distinct innate talents but generally possessed strengths that weren't much different from the single-horned flood dragon you had killed with one blow, so you realized that dragon must have been the Flood Dragon Demon King.]

[You didn't see the Bull Demon King but thought nothing of it, knowing that he lives in the Western Bull Demon Continent.]

[You observed that these four demon kings knew each other and were preparing to attack the True Warrior Great Emperor, who guards the Northern Jambu Continent. Their intent was not to declare war against the Heavenly Court, but to seek amnesty through combat.]

[You watched invisibly from the sidelines as the four great demon kings gathered nearly a hundred thousand demon soldiers to assault the True Warrior Great Emperor.]

[In the fierce battle, spells filled the sky, countless celestial soldiers perished, rivers of demon blood flowed, and the True Warrior Great Emperor, standing against four alone, could hardly withstand them for a hundred exchanges before thirty-six Thunder Department Generals arrived, who, with the support of the True Warrior, formed an array under his command to eventually repel the four great demon kings.]

[You witnessed the strength of the True Warrior and the thirty-six Thunder Generals, inferior to you, but the combined force of these four demon kings, in terms of martial skill and divine powers, was indeed competitive with you in your usual state.]

[You revealed yourself, wishing to converse with the True Warrior Great Emperor, but he perceived your hidden observation as malicious and commanded the thirty-six Thunder Generals to surround and attack you.]

[Seeing this, you grew somewhat annoyed, but you stopped trying to explain and simply drew out the Ruyi Jingu Bang—ready to personally test the strength of the mightiest Thunder Department in the Heavenly Court.]

[This battle was tumultuous, with the sky darkening, winds sweeping away everything, myriad galaxies flowing backward, the gods of heaven in disarray, and the spirits of the underworld trembling!]

[The thirty-six Thunder Generals and the Great Emperor Zhenwu were each exhausted and terrified, their complexions pale. Some Thunder Generals were even so frightened by you that they avoided eye contact.]

[However, after listening to your explanation, they believed what you said and befriended you. Upon learning that you became an immortal by an unorthodox method, they advised you to do more good deeds, subdue demons and eliminate evil, and accumulate merits, as only then could you achieve a virtuous outcome.]

[You chuckled because, educating the group of demons, was in itself the greatest of virtuous outcomes.]

[At the age of three hundred and thirty-three, you returned to Huaguo Mountain and personally witnessed, under Ao Yun's leadership, the establishment of a nation and you became the king of Huaguo Mountain, referred to by all beings as the Holy Master.]

[At the age of three hundred and thirty-four, the seventy-two cave masters had mostly adapted to the lifestyle on Huaguo Mountain, accepting its rules. A few demon kings left, but with Ao Yun's support, new demon kings quickly filled their spots.]

[That year, the Dragon Palace of the Eastern Sea, following Ao Yun's suggestion, established trade with Huaguo Mountain, and Huaguo Mountain acquired a true army of shrimp soldiers and crab generals.]

[At the age of three hundred and thirty-five, Huaguo Mountain's fame spread throughout the demon world, and many lesser demons without much cultivation came to Huaguo Mountain seeking a living.]

[To them, whether to eat humans or not was insignificant; what mattered was the protection of a powerful being.]

[Clearly, the Holy Nation of Huaguo Mountain was an excellent place. As long as one followed the rules, life could be very good, and for the lesser demons who were already subject to the rule of demon kings, it was an innocent paradise like no other!]

[At the age of three hundred and thirty-six, Huaguo Mountain continued to grow stronger...]

[At three hundred and thirty-seven, Huaguo Mountain continued to grow stronger...]

[At the age of three hundred and thirty-eight, your fame, as well as that of the Huaguo Mountain Holy Nation, attracted great demons from other continents to come to investigate. Yurong King, Lion Camel King, Monkey King, and Peng Demon King from the Northern Jambu Continent and Bull Demon King from the Western Continent, were all drawn over.]

[They thought you were crazy for allowing humans and demons to coexist and for establishing so many rules and regulations, given that you yourself were a demon.]

[Nevertheless, they coveted the valuable land of Huaguo Mountain and decided to seize it.]

[You single-handedly fought against the six demon kings, defeating them and stripping them of their armors. With great divine power, you suppressed the five demon kings under the Five Elements Mountain that you condensed.]

[This achievement shook the Heavens!]

[Taibaijinxing himself descended from Heaven to invite you to accept an official position, but in every palace within the Heavenly Court, there were plenty of officials. The only vacancy was the head of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.]

[Having attained the fruit of Daoist and Buddhist teachings and having educated ten thousand demons and suppressed the six demon kings, the Jade Emperor felt that appointing you as the Bimawen would be an underestimation of your abilities. Therefore, he created a new title for you, calling you the Carefree Emperor of the Equal Heavens, with rank equivalent to that of the Six Imperial Masters, and granted you dominion over Huaguo Mountain of the Dongsheng Divine Continent.]

[At the age of three hundred and thirty-nine, Huaguo Mountain became even more prosperous, and a wide variety of creations emerged ceaselessly. Confucian scholars, Taoist priests, and Buddhist monks came from far and wide, seeking to learn.]

[At the age of three hundred and forty, True Immortals with virtue from all three realms gradually came to visit. You received them warmly, discussed the Dao with them, and each obtained something beneficial, which brought them great joy.]

[It was also at this time that a Six-Eared Macaque, talented in hearing and discernment, with the ability to see the past and the future, and with clarity in all things, grew envious of you. However, now that you were the Carefree Emperor of the Equal Heavens, it did not dare to harm you.]

[Therefore, it took on your appearance, undetectable by others, transformed its spontaneous iron cudgel into the semblance of your Jingu Bang, and with resentment, caused unrest across the three realms.]

[The common folk blamed you, but you provided evidence that you had been on Huaguo Mountain all along or traveling in the mortal world, never having caused turmoil in the three realms. The local mountain gods and land deities could testify for you.]

[But there were mountain gods and land deities who claimed that it was you indeed!]

[While the multitude of deities were in heated debate, Thousand-Mile Eyes reported that "Sun Wukong" was causing trouble in the Northern Jambu Continent, gathering a million demon soldiers, preparing to storm the Heavens!]
