Traveling through thousands of realms at the same time, I need to add some dark blue

Chapter 372: Destiny

Gu Meng noticed that when Tianmingren was fighting the worm on his right hand, she wanted to jump out to help, but she might have been concerned about Gu Meng, and with him and Lao Zhu on the side (although they were both tacitly slacking off), her safety was guaranteed, so she did not show up.

Hmm...the behavior patterns of these spider spirits are so hard to understand. Do you all have a plot? Gu Meng wants to catch someone and brainwash and read his mind.

"Well, girl, the little demons call you the Fourth Grandma. According to your naming method, you are the Fourth Sister? I see you have been sneaking around us for quite a while. What do you want to do?"

Just ask if you want to. When approaching again, Gu Meng greeted Bajie, teleported away, and got behind the spider spirit with tear marks on her face.

She seemed to be trying to peel off the talisman. The talisman was on the small tower, emitting a few faint purple lights. It looked ordinary, but when the banshee approached, the light suddenly became brighter, and the banshee was instantly slightly injured. This was because the talisman did not really work, otherwise the banshee would have died without a doubt and would have been refined into spiritual essence and inner elixir on the spot.

"Miss Spider, I advise you not to try. We can enter and exit normally because the recognition mechanism of this array is quite effective. It only targets insect monsters. If you want to break it, it's like the posts on the Five Elements Mountain can only be uncovered by Tang Seng. The posts on your side can only be uncovered by very special people. Ordinary people have no way to deal with it. As for insect monsters like you who are under special attack, unless you really have great magic power and corresponding means, it is impossible for you to have any accidents just because of the noise we made when we entered the cave."

As soon as the fourth sister failed to uncover the talisman, she heard a bunch of questions and sermons following, and there was also a creepy feeling.

Turning around, I saw that it was the lamp demon. I didn't expect that his demeanor was so gloomy, but his tone was not cold at all. Among demons, he was quite polite. He might be the type of demon who is two-faced and treacherous.

She knew she couldn't beat Gu Meng, but she was still very brave. Unlike other women, she said directly:

"You are the one who is sneaking around. This is my home. I can do whatever I want in my home. I also want to ask where you are from and why you are interfering in the affairs of the Destiny Man and the pig?"

Gu Meng thought that what she said made sense. This was her home... No, she couldn't be convinced so easily:

"Girl, although this is your home, you took the monkey's things, so it's only natural that we would come here. And looking at this formation, although this is your home, it is also a prison, and it's not a good place even for monsters. If you can hand over the things or the clues to the things, we don't want to come here."

Gu Meng didn't feel anything about the formation that blocked and refined monsters here. He could come and go freely, and no monsters from other places should be restricted. It was probably because Gu Meng's cultivation was too high and his perception was too strong that he could directly feel the existence of this formation.

The main reason is that some of the insects here are so ugly that Gu Meng feels that the spider spirit itself is not that bad looking...Except for people like Ron who are particularly afraid of spiders, he may have a different opinion.

"We are not the owner of that thing, but you are not that dead monkey. Why do you want to steal it?"

"It's not me who wants it, it's the monkey who wants it. He helped me in Xiaoxitian, so I'm here to lend him a hand. Isn't it strange? When Sun Wukong and his disciples traveled west, they were helped by gods and Buddhas all the way. Now he can't even gather the six Dings and six Jias, so what's wrong with me being willing to lend him a hand?"

Gu Meng shook his lantern head and said, "Legend has it that there will always be a true man of destiny in Huaguo Mountain who will collect all the roots and revive the Great Sage. I think this monkey is the one of destiny."

"It's fate... a stinky monkey says it's fate. He's so stubborn that he dares to go anywhere."

When this matter was mentioned, the fourth sister seemed a little angry.

Gu Meng realized that his fourth sister, like him, had seen other monkeys who went from Huaguo Mountain to Pansiling to find their roots, and might also be the destined person at that time.

Although none of the people with destiny in the past truly obtained the root capacity, they are obviously different from the people with destiny in this generation who have already collected half of them. It is probably like how Tang Monk gave his head to others and died in the Quicksand River in his previous life, and was eaten by Sha Monk, and then when it was his tenth turn, he directly passed the eighty-one difficulties.

But collecting these things is not in the order of eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind. People usually go to the first place where they get the information. So it is normal that some people with destiny jumped over the barrier and came to Pansiling before. If he has to say, Gu Meng still thinks that Xiao Xitian is more difficult than this place.

Something must have happened between the monkey who came to Pansiling and this Fourth Sister, causing the Fourth Sister to have a crush on the current Heavenly Man...

The puzzle seemed to be solved a little, but it also seemed that there were more puzzles.

After all, what exactly is the mechanism of this so-called man of destiny? Monsters from all over the world have all heard of his name, and it seems as if he is spreading it intentionally.

There are different statements. Some say that the strongest monkey in the Flower-Fruit Mountain automatically becomes the chosen one. Some monsters and Gu Meng themselves speculate that there was a setting where Sun Wukong's hair changed before his death, or even that his will was immortal and his residual thoughts were reincarnated?
Although Gu Meng didn't live to play Black Myth, he had seen that in Kung Fu King, Sun Wukong left behind a few hairs to save his body before being trapped.

Some old monsters who have lived for a long time and even seen Sun Wukong have said that the monkey of Tianming Man looks very much like Sun Wukong. Gu Meng also said the same thing when he saw the land of Black Wind Mountain in the promotional video in his previous life. There is no difference between this world and the early promotion of the game in this respect.

If one could still be a coincidence, Gu Meng himself had seen monkeys that looked somewhat similar in the pagoda prison. These similar monkeys were often much stronger than the normal Flower-Fruit Mountain monkeys on average.

……

The relationship between the Destiny Man and the Great Sage, the life and death of the Great Sage, and the roles played by Heaven and the Western Paradise. All of this should be revealed after the Destiny Man collects the Six Roots and returns to the Flower-Fruit Mountain to try to resurrect the Great Sage. Gu Meng is just looking forward to it.

After the fourth sister complained about destiny, she remained silent. Gu Meng said:
"No matter what destiny this person has, he is more qualified than you irrelevant spider spirits. Since you are willing to help, why don't we make a deal? This talisman can only be removed by those with special destiny that is not in the five elements or those with extremely strong magic power. It happens that I have both. I will help you to unlock the talisman formation and give you freedom. You take us to find the root, how about it?" "Humph, this formation is not as simple as you think. Pansi Cave is the property of the master above. You should worry about yourselves first."

Gu Meng was not surprised that his fourth sister would react like this. Gu Meng's proposal seemed to be a win-win situation, but rejection was understandable.

First of all, it is said that the Great Sage’s roots have extremely strong powers, and each one is a treasure with various wonderful uses.

Some big monsters said that if they gathered all six roots, they might be able to obtain the power of the Monkey King, and after an explosion, they could generate a temporary force that could turn the world upside down, and maybe they could make another big fuss in Heaven. Many rebellious little monsters had thought about mastering the roots and ascending to heaven in one step. Even mortals had this idea when they heard the storyteller tell the story.

Moreover, with this kind of trump card, perhaps the various wishes of the monsters can be fulfilled. It is not known whether this news is true or not. It may just be the wishful thinking of the monsters, or it may be true, just like the news that eating Tang Monk's flesh can make people immortal.

However, this piece of gossip is not as widely recognized by monsters as Tang Monk's flesh can make one live forever. Most of the monsters in the Little Western Paradise do not think that the root can be used in this way. They feel that the normal use of the root is to transform into human form and refine treasures like Huang Mei did, to achieve various wonderful uses, and to use the root to brainwash the gods they dislike. Taking it into the body is too crude a method. Except for Sun Wukong, there will be no good result if anyone other than Sun Wukong uses the root directly.

But no matter what, the effect of the root is amazing. The spider spirits may not have such big ambitions, but the root is definitely useful to them.

Gu Meng can naturally also give compensation. With abilities shared by all worlds, Gu Meng's versatility is very powerful. Even if he is not as good as Doraemon and Dragon Ball, there are very few things he cannot do. He is a more practical universal cauldron than the Great Sage's Root and the Holy Grail, which have unknown natures and consequences for most contenders in various worlds. Unfortunately, there is no basis of trust between the two sides.

The fourth sister believed that the big lamp was here to help the destined man, but if he really found her mother, it was hard to say what the result would be. This lamp demon was not like Zhu Bajie who had feelings for his mother.

Speaking of which, she originally thought that her second sister had a magic weapon in her hand and should be able to deal with Zhu Bajie, but she didn't expect that she was also stopped. The fourth sister secretly observed and analyzed calmly. She felt that now that these three people were tied together, she should not worry about the monkey, but her mother.

Gu Meng felt the same way. He suspected that the old spider spirit might not dare to face them head-on as their fighting power was too far behind.

If everything in this world would become a game in another world, Zhu Bajie might not be able to play a very strong role, so for the sake of gameplay, let the Destiny Man fight. But this is a real world. After Gu Meng rescued Zhu Bajie, there was no opponent in the Spider Cave at all. Zhu Bajie would usually hold back, but when the Destiny Man is really about to die, he will definitely protect him.

The people destined to succeed in this world have a certain ability to resurrect. Their names may not be listed in the Book of Life and Death, and they may not be accepted into the underworld. The hair on their bodies can also transform into each other. Theoretically, they can be resurrected infinitely. This feels like the prototype of some kind of immortal magical power.

Unfortunately, the soul is still quite obvious and cannot get too far away from the place of death, and it is also possible that the soul will be directly destroyed. So although it seems very powerful, it is actually not difficult to crack.

Now that Tianmingren has absorbed three roots, he is more difficult to kill and his success rate of resurrection is higher. If he fails, he can be resurrected quickly. But in fact, there is a certain risk when facing opponents above the level of demon king with relatively high magic. At least Gu Meng can easily capture Tianmingren's soul and kill him directly, making it impossible for him to escape.

Gu Meng felt that the great demon king Huang Mei should also be able to prevent the man of destiny from reincarnation. Maybe Maitreya had done something to him... Gu Meng had now gotten rid of his suspicion of Huang Mei, so his evaluation should be relatively objective. He did not overestimate Huang Mei. It would be strange if no one could stop the resurrection of the man of destiny.

……

The fourth sister walked away again. After this time, Gu Meng noticed that she would no longer be so close to him, but he could still feel her sometimes, and Gu Meng did not look for her again.

"How is it? What did you find?" Zhu Bajie tends to be serious when chatting with Gu Meng.

"Nothing, I just solved a little bit of my doubts... The spider spirit in this cave is really interesting. Oh, and I guess the root device should be in the hands of the spider spirit."

"What? You said that thing is here?" Zhu Bajie was more happy than surprised. If he took into account the aptitude here, most of the elements for his senior brother's resurrection would be gathered. There was hope.

"Judging from their previous reactions, it's probably true. Maybe they are still using their roots to do something else..."

Gu Meng shook his head, looking like he had a clear idea.

"Oh, right, you let the spider spirit you knew in the heaven go at Pansiling Ridge. If this time, the spider spirit needs a complete root to survive, and your eldest brother also needs a complete root to have the hope of reincarnation, what will you choose at that time?"

Gu Meng asked a question similar to "If your wife and your mother fell into the water at the same time, who would you save?", which was also full of bad taste.

"This..." Zhu Bajie paused and said directly, "How can it be such a coincidence that I need the root to prolong my life? I have never heard that the things of the eldest brother can save people. I don't know who spread these rumors. These little demons spread them one by one, ten by ten, and a hundred by ten. You can't believe everything they say. Besides, how can outsiders compare to the friendship between me and the eldest brother? If I really have to choose, then I will definitely take the root back."

"Okay, a woman will only slow down your speed in rescuing our senior brother." Gu Meng felt that Zhu Bajie didn't have this much determination when he was seeking the sutras and attaining enlightenment. "I hope that when we go to get the root, you really won't hesitate."
