Chapter 100: Bodhi shows its hand, the gentlest prison

Then just smash both options to a pulp!

Then, walk your own path!

Master's words, each word, felt like an invisible heavy hammer, smashing hard into Sun Wukong's heart!

It shattered that false gentleness.

It also jolted awake his heart that was about to sink completely!

He stared blankly at the real scene before him—dilapidated, barren, filled with the aura of death.

His head still buzzed.

Damn it.

After all that fuss, Old Monkey Sun fell into a cesspit piled high with sugar-coated artillery shells?!

Sun Wukong watched as the light of the "Primordial Demon God" dimmed and its aura plummeted,

An unstoppable surge of fury shot from the soles of his feet straight to the crown of his head!

Good!

What a 'mother'!

What a 'home'!

It almost directly sent Old Monkey Sun to the afterlife!

Just then.

He saw on Master's face finally a genuine, heartfelt smile appear.

That smile carried relief and approval.

Bodhi Patriarch knew.

His disciple, this unruly monkey,

Ultimately, it was not completely corroded by the world's ultimate temptation.

He took a step forward.

Finally, from the edge of that Chaos Rift, he truly stepped into this shattered 'Primordial Garden'.

As his foot touched the ground,

Suddenly, an anomaly arose!

The land beneath his feet, already turned to dry bones, groaned under the weight, and black cracks spread outward in all directions.

Those living beings still clinging to life, revealing their ferocious faces,

the instant they touched the Bodhi aura, they emitted an extremely mournful wail and instantly turned to flying ash!

The whole world, this prison woven from the will of Chaos, was wildly rejecting him!

It seemed as if he were the most terrifying poison in the world!

The shock on the face of the Primordial Demon God made of light and shadow instantly turned into extreme fury and rancor!

Her complexion finally changed completely.

No longer kindness, no longer anticipation, but a violent rage at having her territory invaded!

"Emptiness!"

She pointed at Bodhi, her voice sharp and twisted, no longer retaining any of its former gentleness.

"Do you want to destroy this place?!"

Bodhi Patriarch didn't even glance at her.

He walked straight to Sun Wukong's side and raised his hand,

just like when he was a child, he gave the monkey a heavy pat on the shoulder.

That force made Sun Wukong stagger, almost unable to keep his footing.

But his heart instantly became extraordinarily steadfast.

After doing all that, Bodhi slowly turned his head,

looked at that flustered light-and-shadow figure, his expression indifferent.

"I merely let my disciple see the truth."

His voice was very plain.

yet carried an indisputable domineering aura.

Immediately, he turned his head back, looked at the still dazed Sun Wukong, and suddenly asked a strange question.

"Wukong."

"Do you think she is like someone who locks you up at home,

"gives you all the toys you want, all the delicious food and drink you desire, yet won't let you leave the house—a mother?"

Sun Wukong froze.

This metaphor is too damn vivid!

He instinctively nodded.

Bodhi Patriarch's smile grew richer, yet within it lay a bone‑chilling cold.

At this moment, his voice turned sharp.

Like a carving honed in Chaos for billions of years, stroke by stroke,

precisely dissecting the bloody, rotting entrails hidden behind this gentle façade!

"Everything she gives you is not love!"

"It's poison!"

"It is the sweetest poison strong enough to make you forget who you are!"

She will make you forget your proud backbone!

She will make you forget your resistance!

She will make you forget that iron rod of yours, which would rather break than bend, that shattered countless rules of the Three Realms!

Every word of the Bodhi Patriarch sent Sun Wukong's mind and spirit into violent shock!

His hand gripping the Golden Cudgel bulged with veins!

Yeah!

This old monkey I am the Great Sage Equal to Heaven!

He's the Sun Wukong who dares to fight even the heavenly king and his father!

When would he, for a little so‑called 'peace' and 'happiness', want to put down the staff in his hand?

This is simply not him!

The Bodhi Patriarch raised his hand, pointing at this expanse that had fully revealed its true nature,

a world of deathly silence formed from the piled corpses of countless demon gods.

His voice, like the Heavenly Dao passing judgment, revealed word by word the coldest, cruelest truth!

This is not some Garden of Eden!

Nor is it some eternal paradise!

This is, in order for Chaos to carry out self‑repair,

the gentlest prison it created to uphold its corrupt laws!

Its sole purpose is 'assimilation'!

To absorb you lot—unstable, powerful, uncontrolled variables!

For example, me as your Master.

And another example, you!

His words, like bolts of Chaos Divine Thunder, exploded one after another in Sun Wukong's and distant Yao's minds!

Yao, standing nearby, turned as pale as paper, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.

She finally understood!

She understood completely!

The Master she had long revered, whom she regarded as her reborn parents, was no longer the original Master!

That thing before her eyes.

Merely a monster that stole the Master's memories and appearance, cloaked in the Master's robes...

A tool spawned by Chaos's will, tasked solely with 'cleaning up garbage'!

And she and Sun Wukong are nothing but garbage in Chaos's eyes!

Bodhi's voice continued.

He wanted to pierce this final layer of window paper for his disciple, making things crystal clear!

Wukong.

If you stay.

In the end, there is only one outcome.

Your will, your emotions, your unyielding heart, all the memories you cherish...

will be gradually, thoroughly absorbed and digested by her, by this embodiment of Chaos's will!

In the end, you will become part of her.

to become a soulless, thoughtless energy source that fuels this corrupt world!

Saying this, the Bodhi Patriarch's eyes flashed with an undisguised, extreme hatred and killing intent.

Just like a pig raised in captivity, waiting only to be slaughtered!

Boom!

This sentence ignited all the fury in Sun Wukong's heart!

Pig?!

Old Sun I, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven Sun Wukong, in your eyes am just a pig?!

Roar——!

Sun Wukong raised his head and let out a violent roar that shook Chaos!

His ten‑zhang tall demon ape true form burst forth!

The brutal, heaven‑shattering, earth‑destroying aura that had been suppressed by the gentle fragrance now exploded tenfold, a hundredfold!

His crimson‑gold pupils locked tightly onto that beam of light.

Within it burned a killing intent vast enough to incinerate the Nine Heavens!

The lies were completely exposed.

The primordial demon god formed from that light instead calmed down.

All anger and resentment on her face faded away.

In their place came an aloof, emotionless indifference as absolute as the star‑strewn universe.

She stopped pretending.

She looked at the enraged Sun Wukong as if he were a pet thrashing uselessly in a cage.

She slowly raised her hand.

The core of her 'heart', the final Chaos Core Fragment on her chest, radiated a dazzling, blinding light.

Streams of unimaginable creative power began to mend the space shattered by the Bodhi Patriarch's fist.

She looked at Sun Wukong, and in a voice that bore no trace of emotion yet was incredibly clear, she began calmly.

"Child."

"Now."

"Do you still want my 'heart'?"
