Chapter 607: Chapter 607: You’re Not Fit to Be a King

Back in Holy City, the sight of Qin Jun and his entourage made the citizens and cultivators immediately realize that the war had been won!

The confrontation between the Great Qin Heavenly Court and the God Temple had ended in their victory!

Although it wasn’t the God Temple’s full strength, they had at least defeated its strongest combatants.

"Now we must be vigilant to prevent Divine Wuji from making a comeback."

Qin Jun stood amidst the clouds, speaking with a heavy voice. Divine Wuji’s ability to challenge the entire Great Qin Heavenly Court by himself had infuriated him.

The Black Butterfly Fairy, having readjusted her veil, spoke softly, "Don’t worry. Each use of the God Summoning Technique requires Divine Wuji to recuperate for several years. Moreover, his injuries are very severe this time, probably requiring an even longer recovery period."

Qin Jun raised an eyebrow, realizing that the God Summoning Technique was also draining Divine Wuji’s physical potential. It seemed that he wouldn’t have to worry about an attack from Divine Wuji for several years.

"Will the god summoned by Divine Wuji seek revenge on me?" Qin Jun continued to ask the Black Butterfly Fairy.

"The summoned god? Are you talking about those divine souls within him?" Sun Wukong asked with curiosity. It was his first encounter with the God Summoning Technique, which differed from other soul-possession techniques. This technique had enhanced Divine Wuji’s strength by several folds, making him nearly invincible, which even annoyed Sun Wukong.

Qin Jun nodded and then looked at the Black Butterfly Fairy, waiting for her answer.

"Impossible. While the God Summoning Technique invokes the deities of the Ancient Immortal Realm, no one can guarantee that this realm actually exists. At least there has never been a reported case of a summoned deity seeking revenge upon their summoner; after their defeat, they simply vanish!" The Black Butterfly Fairy shook her head. Having taught the technique to Divine Wuji, she understood it well.

She considered the technique forbidden and never used it herself. She only taught it to Divine Wuji because of his insatiable thirst for power.

Yet the Ancient Immortal Realm truly did exist.

And the twelve esteemed beings of Xuanxu already despised Qin Jun.

Qin Jun shook his head with a smile, then ceased dwelling on the matter, instead glancing sideways at Sun Wukong.

He had to figure out a way to win over Sun Wukong.

Being forceful would certainly not work, and being gentle would be just as difficult.

As he pondered this, the entourage flew into the plaza in front of Junzheng Hall at Saint Emperor Peak.

The civil and military officials all gathered around, their faces filled with excitement. Among them, Evening Star and Roaring Sky Dog wore particularly complex expressions. The other God and Demon didn’t recognize Sun Wukong since they hadn’t recovered their past-life memories.

"Wow, so many familiar faces."

Sun Wukong sneered, his Ruyi Jingu Bang swaying slightly on his shoulder, as if ready at any moment to smash into God and Demon, including Roaring Sky Dog.

Qin Jun pretended not to notice Sun Wukong’s actions and laughed to his generals, "You all go and comfort Holy City first. I have something to discuss with the Supreme Heaven Great Sage!"

Supreme Heaven Great Sage!

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong couldn’t help but lift his chin, a smug smile spreading across his face.

"Your Majesty, do you need me to accompany you?" Yang Jian couldn’t help but ask. Sun Wukong was still the unruly monkey he used to be, and Yang Jian was genuinely worried Sun Wukong might strike Qin Jun dead with his staff at a moment’s displeasure.

Sun Wukong couldn’t help but laugh, "Three Eyes, look at what you’ve become. Even if I wanted to harm him, would you be able to stop me?"

"You..." Yang Jian was so angry he almost started a fight right then and there.

Li Yuanba huffed, "Your Majesty, let me accompany you!"

He was the strongest general in the Great Qin Heavenly Court, and even though badly injured, he could still stand against Sun Wukong for a time.

"No need!"

Qin Jun waved his hand with a smile, then turned and walked towards the imperial garden, Sun Wukong following closely behind.

As they watched them leave, the Black Butterfly Fairy’s elegant brows furrowed, and she disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Zhu Bajie couldn’t help but ask, "Are you really confident about that monkey? He’s not the Victorious Fighting Buddha, but the unruly Supreme Heaven Great Sage!"

Tang Sanzang shot him a look and said with annoyance, "Although His Majesty is young, he is resourceful and never does anything without assurance. Otherwise, how do you think he could have established the vast Great Qin Heavenly Court?"

As this point was made, the other civil and military officials thought about it and indeed found it reasonable.

Moreover, it was clear that Sun Wukong had been invited by Qin Jun for help, and now he seemed to be following Qin Jun’s orders, suggesting that there probably wouldn’t be any issues.

"All right, carry on with your duties!" Liu Bowen spoke up, and the crowd immediately dispersed.

As the leading civil official, Liu Bowen might not have the power of Jiang Ziya, but he had seniority, and his words carried weight.

Meanwhile, Qin Jun led Sun Wukong towards the imperial garden. As they walked, he kept silent, while Sun Wukong, true to his monkey nature, hopped and bounced around, looking everywhere with interest.

"Your garden is quite inferior to that old Jade Emperor’s fairyland!"

You don’t hit someone in the face!

Respecting you as Monkey Brother, I’ll bear with it!

The corners of Qin Jun’s mouth twitched, and he ignored Sun Wukong, muttering to himself, "System, keep me updated on any changes in Sun Wukong’s loyalty!"

He was about to make a bold move to stimulate Sun Wukong and if Sun Wukong’s loyalty fell below zero, he would have to stop immediately.

It was only because Sun Wukong still had fifty loyalty points that Qin Jun dared to meet with him privately.

Soon, they entered a stone pavilion deep within the imperial garden.

Sun Wukong unabashedly grabbed the fruit and cakes on the table and began to eat. While eating, he asked vaguely, "Kid, how exactly did you save me?"

"I naturally used my divine power, and you are no longer in the world you once inhabited," Qin Jun said, his eyes twinkling with amusement.

In his eyes, Sun Wukong truly deserved the title of Monkey King. Despite his monkey fur and mouth like a pair of clappers, his features were quite handsome, far more so than the Sun Wukong of the television dramas.

"Oh? Divine Power?" Sun Wukong’s face lit up with curiosity. He wasn’t all that surprised about arriving in a new world; instead, he was aware of how different this world felt.

In the world of Journey to the West, only Yang Jian could barely battle him, and in the end, Tathāgata instantly overpowered him. However, upon arriving in this world, he encountered a group of beings not weaker than him. As a fight enthusiast, he was naturally excited.

Without undergoing five hundred years of suppression, Sun Wukong hadn’t yet seen through the schemes of Journey to the West, still ignorant and brash.

"Disturbing the Dragon Palace, storming the Underworld, causing Havoc in Heaven – I know all of your exploits. The reason I saved you is because I admire you; I respect you!" Qin Jun changed the topic and smiled. This statement was from his heart, and hearing it made Sun Wukong beam with joy.

Sun Wukong might be clever, but he wasn’t particularly deep or cunning, at least not yet.

"What I seek is freedom and joy. The Jade Emperor wanted to make me a servant, so I aimed to seize his throne!" Sun Wukong laughed playfully, causing Qin Jun’s mouth to twitch. Could you not make your threat so blatantly obvious?

Couldn’t you be more subtle?

"You, the Great Sage, are indeed powerful."

Qin Jun stood up with a smile, looking down from a height at Sun Wukong who sat leisurely on the stone chair. He then shifted his tone, speaking with a half-smile, "But you are not suited to be a king!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong frowned deeply.

"Ding! Sun Wukong’s loyalty towards the host has fallen to forty!"

Pfft—

What’s wrong with you, suddenly dropping so much!
