Zhu Long also used his methods, transforming into a streak of light and vanishing.
None of them continued to pursue because they couldn’t be stopped.
If such high-level powerhouses wanted to leave, it was very difficult to stop them.
Unless preparations had been made in advance to prevent their escape, or there was sufficient overwhelming power.
Otherwise, it was almost impossible to kill them.
This was also why some top powerhouses had survived from the beginning of the creation until now.
As long as they were sufficiently cautious and careful, it was difficult even to die.
“This Earth Demon God and Zhu Long remaining in the Three Realms are definitely a disaster; I really want to kill them.”
Taotie frowned deeply.
Everyone smiled bitterly; who didn’t want to kill them.
But, one must have the strength to do so.
The Earth Demon God and Zhu Long, with no attachments, could do whatever they wanted with their strength; no one could stop them.
“We still need to find an opportunity; right now, it’s not very realistic,”
Ksitigarbha sighed.
White Tiger blinked her eyes and clenched her little fists, saying, “Anyway, if they dare to show up once, we’ll beat them once.”
Her appearance made everyone laugh.
Sun Wukong rubbed White Tiger’s hair, smiling and saying, “That’s right, why think so much?
As long as they dare to make a move once, we’ll beat them once.”
With these words from him, everyone relaxed.
Taotie asked with a smile, “How are your injuries?”
The battle between Sun Wukong and the Earth Demon God left both of them injured.
Moreover, Sun Wukong’s injuries were obviously more severe.
Everyone’s gaze fell on Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong shook his head; his injuries were not serious, the Immortal Body naturally wasn’t just for show, his strong recovery ability made Sun Wukong less concerned when facing battles.
The injuries from before had already healed significantly.
Just then, purple qi arrived from the east, surging three thousand miles.
Great Emperor Ziwei had arrived, hastening to this place at the fastest speed to make his presence known.
His eyes fell on Sun Wukong, and Great Emperor Ziwei let out a sigh of relief.
“Were the Earth Demon God and the others repelled?”
Great Emperor Ziwei surveyed the surroundings.
Sun Wukong nodded and smiled, “Perhaps sensing Your Majesty’s personal arrival, they retreated.
Now I understand how Zhu Long was released.”
“Not by the Earth Demon God’s methods.”
Great Emperor Ziwei shook his head.
Sun Wukong was somewhat surprised; he had assumed it was the Earth Demon God and Zhu Long working together to destroy the restraints on him, allowing Zhu Long to appear.
But to think Great Emperor Ziwei said it was not the Earth Demon God’s doing.
“Placing Zhu Long at the North Heavenly Gate was Haotian God’s strategy, targeted specifically at the Demon Realm; it’s impossible for the Demon Realm to intervene from the inside,”
Great Emperor Ziwei explained.
Taotie sneered, “That means Zhu Long was released by the beings of the Three Realms.
Aside from the Court of Ancient Gods, only the Jade Emperor would do such a thing.
They all fear peace and wish to weaken the Power of Living Beings.”
Everyone nodded.
Thinking it over, only they would do such a thing.
Other beings probably would not resort to that.
As for why Zhu Long was in league with the Earth Demon God, that was beyond their ability to guess.
Great Emperor Ziwei sighed, feeling somewhat troubled.
Ever since becoming the Supreme of the Three Realms, he had never known peace, continuously struggling against these people.
Now he was somewhat regretting it.
Being the Supreme of the Three Realms truly wasn’t for just anyone; it required great perseverance, great determination, and sufficient wisdom.
Thinking back to the Jade Emperor’s ease in this position, he felt that perhaps he truly wasn’t qualified to be the Supreme of the Three Realms; in many ways, he was inferior to the Jade Emperor.
In fact, The Three Pure Ones had also said this.
They felt that Great Emperor Ziwei wasn’t suited to be the Supreme of the Three Realms.
But at the same time, they believed that Great Emperor Ziwei would make a good Supreme of the Three Realms.
Because Great Emperor Ziwei had a compassionate heart.
This was something none of the previous Supremes of the Three Realms had.
Based solely on this, they held Great Emperor Ziwei in high regard.
In actuality, those who reached the position of the Supreme of the Three Realms had experienced too much and witnessed too much darkness.
In their hearts, living beings were no more than ants, and compassion was but a laughable notion.
To achieve their goals, they would sacrifice anything.
These people stopped at nothing to get what they wanted.
Haotian God was like this, so were Emperor Jun, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, and the Jade Emperor.
Great Emperor Ziwei, in comparison, was an exceptional case.
Sun Wukong, sensing Great Emperor Ziwei’s emotions, glanced at him and said solemnly, “Don’t overthink; there’s none better suited to be the Supreme of the Three Realms than you, you’re already doing well enough.”
“Only you think so,” Great Emperor Ziwei replied with a faint smile.
“Your Majesty is mistaken, not just Great Sage Sun thinks this way, but all of us do.
Your Majesty reigning as the Supreme is truly a blessing for the beings of the Three Realms,”
Taotie said with a smile.
Though he was the son of the Ancestral Dragon and had a notorious reputation as a fierce beast, he now acknowledged Great Emperor Ziwei.
It showed just how much Great Emperor Ziwei had won the people’s hearts.
“Your Majesty may not realize, but in the hearts of mortals, there’s only Your Majesty.
They understand the efforts you’ve made to protect beings and know that the peace they now enjoy is brought by you.
I can say with certainty that at least ninety-eight percent of beings recognize and appreciate Your Majesty,”
Ksitigarbha said with a smile.
Great Emperor Ziwei was briefly stunned; did he hold such a status in the hearts of beings?
