Now, the Monkey Masters saw the legend unfold in the chaos, and it made them uneasy.
If the main world were compared to a huge world, the chaos would just be a small puddle.
So a human who came from the puddle inherited the ancestry-level bloodline?
It seemed like a joke.
Meanwhile, the Monkey Spirit King waited patiently for Zen to speak.
This was surprising, especially because among the four leaders of the Four Spirits Sect, he was the
most impatient and innocent one.
When the Four Spirits Sect attacked their enemies on the edge of the main world, he fought hundreds
of battles and took thousands of lives.
All of this was just to save a Monkey Master who was not even important to the Monkey Spirit Sect.
Being imprisoned in the dream for more than a thousand chaotic eras, he reflected on everything he
had done.
If he were more cautious and less naive, would things have ended differently?
He did not know how many times he had this thought.
Was it a millions times? Or did it go over a hundred million times?
When he realized that Zen had the ancestry-level bloodline in his body, he was shocked but did his
best to maintain a calm expression.
"I don't know.
The Eternal Divine Courtyard was already deserted by the time I arrived.
When I entered the sacred cup, the light columns lit up,"
Zen replied genuinely.
The Eternal Divine Courtyard was built by the Four Spirits Sect.
It seemed that the Monkey Spirit King knew more about the ancestry-level bloodline than Zen ever did.
Zen could no longer hide from him, so he decided it was best to answer honestly.
Moreover, it was a good step to get the Monkey Spirit King on his side.
"Light columns? How many would you say lit up?" the Monkey Spirit King asked patiently.
"If I recall correctly, it was all of them," replied Zen.
The jaws of Manuel, Hagar, Tearrag and Nereus dropped down in awe.
Though they wanted to react, all of them were speechless.
Meanwhile, the expression of the Monkey Spirit King was hard to read. He mastered the art of keeping
still, and could probably do so even if the whole world collapsed right in front of him.
Even when the rest gasped, his expression never changed.
"Why all?" asked the Monkey Spirit King.
This didn't make any sense. Mere talent was not a reason, either.
Zen shook his head in confusion. "I... I don't know."
One hundred and eighty-seven light columns had risen. At that time, he was completely immersed in
the ancestry-level bloodline, so he paid no attention to the outside world.
The moment he woke up, he saw that the light columns below the sacred cup were all lit up.
The Monkey Spirit King saw Zen's sincere eyes and felt a little dubious.
However, it was meaningless to dwell on it now.
"This is incredible!"
The Monkey Spirit King raised his hands in the air. "How should I repay you for waking me up?"
In this world, returning a favor was a high honor.
Even if Manuel and the others didn't point it out, the Monkey Spirit King could tell that Zen had
intentions to be fulfilled.
"Well..."
Zen shrugged his shoulders and turned towards the Primeval Lord of Heaven. "It was actually the
Primeval Lord of Heaven who helped you wake up, so..."
"But I am asking you." The Monkey Spirit King didn't let him finish.
Because the Primeval Lord of Heaven was the leader of the human heroes, Zen naturally asked him for
opinions.
Now that Zen had to make his own decision, he grew uneasy.
After a few deep breaths, he collected himself and continued to speak.
"I want a way to protect the chaos so that it won't come to an end and so the Finale Way can be
achieved," Zen requested.
He figured it was a good opportunity to get ahead on his plans.
From the divine land to the Source World, Zen was always on the move.
The closer he got to the truth, the more lost he became.
In the beginning, he was not at all interested in the internal strife of the Four Spirits Sect or the previous
human civilization.
However, what unfolded felt like a rope that dragged him to the Other Shore, the Three Purities Stage,
and the Night View Island inch by inch.
"The Finale Way? Is that to prevent the chaos from disorder?" the Monkey Spirit King asked with
concern.
Zen nodded.
"Well, it's not a difficult thing you ask for," the Monkey Spirit King said.
This was too easy for him.
After all, the Four Spirits Sect built many worlds which served just as their energy pools.
The Finale Way that Zen mentioned was a method to stop the operation of a pool.
When some creatures from the secondary worlds had the ancestry-level bloodline and obtained
positions in the Four Spirits Sect, they occasionally asked to halt the energy pools they came from.
This way, the worlds within the energy pools never experienced chaos or destruction again. However,
this also meant they would not produce any new energy.
"It may not seem difficult to you, but the Snake Spirit Sect is on the opposite side of us," said Zen.
Back then, to prevent the completion of the Finale Way, the Element Spirit Civilization had to hide some
Other Shore Tokens.
This was done without the Snake Spirit Sect.
Now, with the intervention of the Snake Spirit Sect, the chaos might not be as simple as it once was.
Completing the Finale Way could be unimaginably difficult.
"Would you want me to help you deal with the Snake Spirit Sect?" the Monkey Spirit King asked.
"Yes, actually." Zen nodded again.
Just then, the Monkey Spirit King zoned out and got lost in thought.
He reminisced about his past. It was because of the Snake Spirit King that he ended up this way.
Within the long years he spent in the dream, he imagined chopping Cornelius up into pieces.
Since then, he swore to himself that Cornelius would pay for what he had done.
"Count me in." The Monkey Spirit King smiled.
When Zen heard this, his nerves finally relaxed. He was no longer jittery.
Since they'd entered the Three Purities Stage, they had been running away nonstop.
Now, they finally found the human heroes on the Night View Island. However, they didn't expect that
the Snake Spirit Sect was behind the Element Spirit Civilization.
Fortunately, the Monkey Spirit King was on their side. Otherwise, they would never have exited the
Night View Island.
"Thank you so much!" Zen said and bowed before the Monkey Spirit King.
The Monkey Spirit King smiled faintly. "Follow me."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and motioned for Zen to stand on his palm.
Once Zen stood securely, he flew towards the Ghost Mountain.
As they approached, Zen could easily see that the Ghost Mountain was still under repair.
The Monkey Spirit King had created a huge, gaping crack in the center of the mountain, one that would
be difficult to repair in a short time.
"I agree to this because we have the same goal," the Monkey Spirit King explained. "The Snake Spirit
Sect is my enemy."
"Is this because the Snake Masters want to take away your body?" Zen asked.
"No." The Monkey Spirit King shook his head and pointed towards the Ghost Mountain. "Do you know
why so many Treacherous Beings exist in the Ghost Mountain?"
Zen nodded, having already discussed this with the others. "They were not actually Treacherous
Beings, but living creatures from the main world," he noted.
"Right. Back then, I stored creatures in the Ghost Mountain so that the myriad creatures of the main
world had chances to survive."
The Monkey Spirit King paused and sighed before continuing, "But Cornelius was just too scheming.
Because of him, I have lost my physical body, and so have the monkey spirits. It came to a point that
even the creatures in the Ghost Mountain have become Treacherous Beings
themselves."
