Before I descended the mountain, my Master privately mentioned you to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My Master mentioned me?” Sun Wukong’s eyes instantly lit up, and he leaned forward unconsciously. “What did he say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Sun Wukong’s hopeful gaze, Su Chen thought inwardly: “Brother Monkey, for your own good, my Master will have to take the blame this once.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cleared his throat and spoke slowly: “My Master foretold that you, this unruly monkey, would one day bring upon yourself a cataclysmic disaster due to your arrogance and ignorance of Heaven’s laws—so great it might cost you your life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?!” Sun Wukong was startled. “That serious?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly!” Su Chen nodded heavily. “My Master specifically entrusted me with one task.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What task?” Sun Wukong pressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen’s gaze locked onto Sun Wukong and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My Master said the Heavenly Court will eventually notice you. To preserve their dignity and to recruit you, they will almost certainly send emissaries to invite you to serve as an official in Heaven.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Serve as an official in Heaven?” Sun Wukong’s eyes brightened at the words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That sounded like a mighty honor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could become a high-ranking official in Heaven, wouldn’t that be even more glorious than ruling as a mountain king down below?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen observed every shift in his expression and continued: “My Master specifically warned me: if that day ever comes, you must absolutely refuse!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?” Sun Wukong’s excitement instantly turned to bewilderment. “Why refuse? Isn’t serving in Heaven a good thing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his simple worldview, becoming an official in Heaven was the height of glory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen looked at his innocent expression and nearly wanted to slap him awake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he knew he couldn’t be too blunt yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He merely shook his head and spoke in a mysterious tone: “Brother Monkey, you misunderstand the Heavenly Court. Its waters run far deeper than you think.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My Master only said: the Heavenly Court is forbidden. Once you step foot there, you enter a trap laid for you—and then, calling to Heaven brings no answer, calling to Earth brings no reply. It will be too late to regret!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen’s words were half threat, half deception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dared not mention the “Bimawen” affair directly—he feared the karmic repercussions would be too great for him to bear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only plant a seed in Sun Wukong’s mind through this vague, ambiguous warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wukong listened, confused and uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A trap? What trap? I, Old Sun, have mastered all arts—do you think I fear them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still resented the implication.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen was about to stoke the fire further, explaining how the immortals of Heaven looked down on demons and immortals from the mortal realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet just as he opened his mouth—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>his mind’s Heavenly Mechanism Mirror suddenly shook violently, without warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen’s face paled instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two clear golden characters appeared in his mind:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Warning: You are touching the core karmic thread of the “Journey to the West Cataclysm.” Further speech will directly interfere with the pivotal moment of “Rebellion in Heaven.”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Continuing to reveal Heavenly Secrets will invoke Saint-level Heavenly Mechanism Backlash. Consequences unpredictable, extreme danger! Master, cease immediately!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each character roared in his spiritual sense like a great bronze bell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saint-level Heavenly Mechanism Backlash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen broke into a cold sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My heavens!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just hinting at the “Bimawen” affair could trigger Saint-level backlash?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s absurd!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He instantly understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wukong’s ascent to Heaven, his appointment as Bimawen, his humiliation over the lowly rank, and his furious rebellion—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this was the direct spark of the “Rebellion in Heaven,” a crucial turning point in the entire Journey to the West Cataclysm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just been about to snuff out that spark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t merely altering karma—it was wrestling with Heaven’s Dao itself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror reacted so violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Too dangerous, too dangerous…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen silently thanked his luck—his back was soaked in sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no doubt that had he spoken the truth, a giant hand from beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens would have crushed him into dust in the next instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saints!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were supreme beings who gazed across the river of time, viewing all living things as ants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His current cultivation level meant nothing to them—not even a speck of dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, all the arguments Su Chen had prepared vanished, choked back in his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression, startled by the sudden warning, grew stiff and pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wukong, ears straining for more, noticed Su Chen had fallen silent and his face had turned ghastly. He frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little brother? What’s wrong?” Sun Wukong waved a hand before him. “What trap? Speak up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen snapped back to reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking into Sun Wukong’s curious eyes, he groaned inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speak?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dare he speak? Say another word, and his life would be forfeit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought fast and shifted blame once more onto his Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drew a deep breath, his face twisted with lingering dread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Monkey, don’t ask anymore,” his voice trembled. “I can’t say more…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why not?” Sun Wukong grew frantic, scratching his head. “Do you know something? Tell me, Old Sun!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know!” Su Chen shook his head sharply, fear flashing in his eyes. “I know nothing. My Master only mentioned this one thing in passing—I just remembered it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine,” Sun Wukong waved his hand. “If you don’t know, then forget it. Too bad my Master never told me anything when I left!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I’ll remember this!” Sun Wukong’s expression turned solemn. “If my Master said it, then I’ll heed him. No matter who from Heaven comes to invite me to serve as an official—I won’t go! I’ll stay here on Huaguo Mountain as the Great Sage Equaling Heaven!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching his solemn expression, Su Chen finally exhaled a long, relieved breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good, good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew he had successfully planted a seed in this monkey’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Heaven later sent Taibai Jinxing to offer amnesty, Sun Wukong would never again blindly follow them as he did in the original tale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he harbored doubt, as long as his actions deviated even slightly from the original path, his goal was achieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Phew, all that hard work wasn't in vain,\" Su Chen sighed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This night—acting, being frightened—he felt more exhausted than fighting a dozen demon immortals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he relaxed his mind—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror in his mind hummed softly again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, it was no warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a prompt.\u003C\u002Fp>",1148,"2026-06-21T05:42:07.836Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","f28fd9acf7bbd3843466961bb832747683cb2f7214e00104c0dddef6121e66c5","i-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-chapter-49","i-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-chapter-47",470,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-cover.jpg"]
