Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 688 - 630 Sun Wukong’s Identity (Part 2)
(In the previous chapter, the Elder from the Great Honored Buddhism guided Sun Wukong through his tribulation; there was an error where I mistakenly wrote Holy Ultimate Buddhism. Here is the clarification!)
Sun Wukong's thought was quickly confirmed. With the Five-Colored Divine Stone in her hand, Nuwa simply flew and gradually disappeared. If Wukong hadn't seen Nuwa in the final battle within the Pangu Realm and knew that she used the Five-Colored Divine Stone as a conduit and then fused her body with the Heavenly Dao to repair it, he would certainly not understand what was happening now. It was precisely because Wukong knew the truth of Nuwa's mending of the heavens that he could comprehend everything he was witnessing now.
The Heavenly Dao was influenced and lost equilibrium, giving rise to its own Spiritual Wisdom. That's why Nuwa used her body to achieve Unity Dao and replenish the good thoughts within the Heavenly Dao's Spiritual Wisdom. Just as Wukong had thought, Nuwa holding the Five-Colored Divine Stone awoke the Heavenly Dao, then she gradually disappeared, merging with the Heavenly Dao. The Five-Colored Divine Stone that Nuwa was holding then dropped down after she completely vanished. The place where it fell happened to be the summit of Flower Fruit Mountain in the country of Aolai in East Shengzhou.
Then, Sun Wukong was completely dumbfounded because he suddenly remembered something that he had always forgotten and overlooked. Upon recalling this, a myriad of doubts and thoughts in Sun Wukong's heart changed drastically, to the extent that he missed some content in the following scenes. Wukong had always believed that he was the incarnation of the Earth Attribute Spirit Stone from within the Five-Colored Divine Stone. Indeed, during his time in the Pangu Realm, Wukong found the Water Attribute and Wood Attribute Spirit Stones within the Five-Colored Divine Stone, and together with Nezha's Metal Attribute and Hong Hai'er's Fire Attribute Spirit Stones, he managed to collect the complete Five-Colored Divine Stone, which is now within Wukong's body.
However, what he saw now in the scene was a complete Five-Colored Divine Stone falling on the summit of Flower Fruit Mountain. How could this be possible? If he was born from a complete Five-Colored Divine Stone, why did he initially only have the Earth Attribute? And how could he fuse with the other four single-attribute Five-Colored Divine Stones? Additionally, if the scene was true, Wukong now knew why he looked exactly like the Pioneer and also understood who the Heaven-Supporting Divine Ape that he saw during his master's tribulation really was.
With countless thoughts whirling in his mind, Wukong did not dwell on them one by one. Instead, he suppressed all his thoughts and forced himself to remain calm, then continued watching the scene unfolding before him. The scene before him had now changed to Flower Fruit Mountain, and within the scene, the Five-Colored Divine Stone with its swirling five-colored radiance stood quietly at the mountain's summit. At that moment, the scene suddenly shifted, soaring to the high sky, where Wukong saw a burst of five-colored light appear again in the same place where Nuwa had disappeared.
"There's actually another Five-Colored Divine Stone? There are two Five-Colored Divine Stones in total?" Wukong exclaimed. The newly appeared five-colored light suddenly exploded, and its five colors dispersed in five different directions. However, incredibly, one of the yellow, Earth Attribute Five-Colored Divine Stones fell again onto the summit of Flower Fruit Mountain, while the other four stones scattered in different directions. At this instant, Wukong understood completely.
"So that's how it is, that's how it is. There were two Five-Colored Divine Stones in total. The first stone in its complete form fell on the summit of Flower Fruit Mountain. The second one, for some reason, exploded and split into five, with the Earth Attribute stone falling again on Flower Fruit Mountain. The remaining four, certainly, were the ones I later sought out. The Water Attribute flew to the Extreme Northern Ice Field and fell into the possession of the Aquatic Tribe. The Wood Attribute flew to the extreme east. The Metal Attribute later incarnated as Nezha, and the Fire Attribute became Hong Hai'er. No wonder after my birth, I possessed all five attributes but was dominated by the Earth Attribute. It must be that the first Five-Colored Divine Stone used all its power to create my flesh and Spiritual Wisdom, and the power from the second Earth Attribute Spirit Stone became the source of my strength!"
Through this scene, Sun Wukong learned the truth of his origins for the first time. The fact that he had always neglected was his birth. Wukong had forgotten that he was born from the Five-Colored Divine Stone, and now that he knew he was not just borne of the Five-Colored Divine Stone but from a complete Five-Colored Divine Stone, everything could be thoroughly explained. Thus, the true history should be like this.
After the ancient war, for reasons unknown, the Pioneer suddenly died. After his death, his flesh was obtained by the Elixir Spirit Pill, also known as the Law Enforcers, but was later stolen by the Crimson Army. Then, the Crimson Army and the Genesis Divine Nation reached some agreement with Pangu, allowing Pangu to take the Pioneer's flesh to the edge of the universe. There, Pangu saw the emerging Pangu Realm and, struck by inspiration, he used the power of the Genesis Divine Nation to hasten the birth of this new world. After opening up the present Pangu Realm, Pangu infused his soul doppelganger into the Pioneer's flesh and then remained in the Pangu Realm to support the sky and land of the Pangu Realm.
This is why Sun Wukong, having seen the Heaven-Supporting Divine Ape, was told by his master that it was Pangu, and why the Transcendence Bloom, which must have been brought over by Pangu from the Genesis Divine Nation, was so familiar with Pangu's soul aura. The Heaven-Supporting Divine Ape was, in fact, the Pioneer himself. Wukong had already known this from the very first scene he saw, but doubts arose due to being influenced by the myth of Pangu creating the world.
The flesh of the Pioneer and the soul of Pangu, after their fusion, became the Heaven-Supporting Divine Ape. Then during the countless years that followed, the Pangu Realm was slowly expanded. Once the Pangu Realm became a small world, the Heaven-Supporting Divine Ape died. It was perhaps due to the soul of Pangu or something that Pangu had set within the flesh of the Pioneer that caused the Pioneer's body to begin decomposing, eventually turning into everything there is in the Pangu Realm today. The heart of the Pioneer transformed into the Five-Colored Divine Stone, of which there were two. During that secret conversation in the Patrolling Celestial World, Yi Xuan had told Sun Wukong that the Five-Colored Divine Stone within him was actually the heart of the Pioneer.
This explained why Sun Wukong looked exactly like the Pioneer and why the Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent, when encountering Sun Wukong, claimed to sense its master's presence in Sun Wukong. The Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent used to be the pet of the Pioneer. It also explained the bloodline of the Pioneer present in Sun Wukong's body, which had been reshaped by Yue Huangquan. It wasn't Yue Huangquan's doing, but rather, after the Five-Colored Divine Stone merged with Sun Wukong's heart, it assimilated and transfused into Sun Wukong's bloodline.
Thus, it could be said that Sun Wukong was essentially born from the heart of the Pioneer, so it was not surprising that he resembled the Pioneer.
"Does that mean I am the Pioneer? No, no, I am definitely not the Pioneer; I am Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong. There's nothing unclear in my memory, which means I am completely myself, not someone else. But to think that I was born from the heart of the Pioneer, and part of his heart is now merged with my own. This is really giving me a headache. What exactly am I? A reincarnation of the Pioneer?" When Sun Wukong pondered these matters, he couldn't help but feel a massive headache brewing.
He had never imagined his origins to be so complex and significant. He had always believed he was simply a Spirit Stone that had absorbed the essence of heaven and earth to give birth to life. Looking back now, he realized his assumptions had been far too simple. Meanwhile, Sun Wukong also thought about why, since his birth, he constantly found himself embroiled in various strange and bizarre events. He had originally thought they were just coincidences, but after learning the truth of his origins, Sun Wukong no longer thought so.
Everything that happened did so for a specific reason. People don't act without cause, nor do things happen without purpose. After seeing the second scene, Sun Wukong felt this more intensely than ever. The first scene had already stopped, ending at the moment of Sun Wukong's birth from the Five-Colored Divine Stone. As for the second scene, it started while Sun Wukong's mind was still in turmoil.
As soon as the scene appeared, Sun Wukong recognized where it was taking place—the scene was set in the Moon Palace on the moon of the Pangu Realm. To be precise, the moon where the Moon Palace was located was not part of the Pangu Realm. Like the Pangu Realm, the moon was an independent small world, though this one was even smaller, so much so that calling it a micro-world wouldn't be an exaggeration. Inside this small world, other than the eternal solitude of the Moon Palace, there was nothing else.
In the scene, Sun Wukong could see the familiar Moon Palace and the people inside it. What surprised Sun Wukong was that in the Moon Palace, there wasn't just Chang'er by herself but also a middle-aged man. Sun Wukong couldn't clearly see the man's face. In fact, he couldn't even clearly make out the body, as it was completely enveloped by a misty substance, leaving only the shape that allowed him to guess this was a person. While Sun Wukong was wondering what this was, he suddenly heard someone speak.
Sun Wukong quickly realized that this time, the scene had sound.
"Chang'er, you know what you have to do at the Peach Banquet in three days, right?" The voice was very clear, yet it had a hazy quality that prevented Sun Wukong from distinguishing whether the speaker was male or female, old or young.

"My lord, Chang'er understands. I will carry it out without anyone, not even Tianpeng Marshal himself, detecting it. But, my lord, do we really have to choose him? I don't see anything special about him." Chang'er's words shocked Sun Wukong. Tianpeng Marshal? Isn't that Bajie? What does this have to do with Bajie? (To be continued.
