Chapter 236: The Primordial Pain, the Lament of Chaos!

That collapsing, contracting black hole is the new mouth of the Primordial Demon God!

And Sun Wukong is the blood meal it now alone wishes to devour!

"You... are also me!"

This twisted roar is not a proclamation, but a lament that originates from the opening of the Chaos Realm!

Rumble—!

The entire Chaos Realm is being pulled by that black hole, the laws like torn ribbons, emitting a strained wail.

The new world's barriers, under this suction, are like biscuits gnawed by a giant beast,

breaking off in massive chunks, disintegrating into the purest energy, mercilessly devoured by the black hole.

This is a law Storm that reaches the whole level of existence!

"Master! What are you doing?! Stop!"

The lifted silence screamed in terror, on the brink of breaking.

The frenzy on his face has long been replaced by the cold Fear Heart Demon.

This is wrong!

Everything is wrong!

The Master's power has completely gone out of control; this is not about devouring that monkey to perfect the "End".

That breath emanating from the black hole, mingled with endless pain and a raging fury,

and also a… indescribable madness that wants to tear everything apart!

The Master is not attacking.

The Master is … suffering!

This monkey, with its damned "Variable Sphere", is not provoking,

but rather a key, a key that pierces the deepest part of the Master's Línghún, unlocking a forbidden Prison!

Sun Wukong endures that unrivaled suction, his Chaos God's golden body being pulled to near deformation.

But he does not resist.

His divine thought, following the pull from the Primordial Source, flows upstream, crazily rushing toward that collapsing core!

He wants to see the truth!

He wants to know what exactly the phrase "You are also me" means!

Hum—!

Sun Wukong's consciousness pierced the raging energy outer layer and in an instant fell into an indescribable "stillness".

Absolute Deathly Silence.

Absolute oppression.

Here there is no time, no space, only an ice‑frozen, boundless sea of consciousness.

Sun Wukong feels a loneliness accumulated over billions of years, a raging grievance forced into hibernation.

This is not any "End" at all!

"End" is a result, a cold, emotionless rule.

But here… here is filled with unwillingness! Filled with anger!

It is more like a living consciousness, forced by an unimaginable great power, pressed down, Suppressed here, freezing billions of Yuan Assemblies!

At the moment of his terror, a vague image slowly emerges in the depths of this sea of consciousness.

That was in a time older than the primordial chaos.

Chaos Realm is still chaos.

A huge, vague, shapeless primordial consciousness joyfully roams within this Chaos Realm.

It is curious about everything.

It longs for "variables".

Each time it rolls, countless brand‑new possibilities are born.

Each breath it takes evolves billions of different laws.

It yearns for "growth", yearning to become more complex, larger, and more splendid!

Sun Wukong's mind is violently shaken!

This… this is the true visage of this Primordial Demon God!

However, the next moment, the image abruptly changes!

A force of "Order" older than the Chaos Realm and colder than Deathly Silence descends without warning!

It is an absolute will that cannot be understood or resisted!

It deems "variables" an Error.

It deems "growth" a sin.

It regards the infinite possibilities of Chaos Realm as a "chaos" that must be corrected!

"Converge to one!"

An indifferent will resonated throughout the entire Chaos Realm.

Then, billions of shackles made of "Absolute Order" rose from the void, brutally nailing into the body of that primordial consciousness!

"Aaa—!!!"

The primordial consciousness let out a wail of extreme pain.

Its body is forcibly compressed, its will forcibly twisted,

Its infinitely extending "variables" are brutally, roughly crushed by that force into a single point!

A "one" that represents the "Absolute Fixed Number"!

This process was filled with unimaginable bloodshed and cruelty.

In the end, that lively, curious, growth‑yearning primal consciousness vanished.

In its place is a monster whose face is identical to Bodhi Patriarch's, eyes hollow, exuding an aura of eternal Deathly Silence…!

This! is the truth of the "End" demon god!

Sun Wukong's whole body turned icy, a chill surged from his spine straight to the celestial crown!

He understood!

He fully understood!

Ji's Master, this so‑called primordial demon god, is not an incarnation of "End" at all!

He damn… is the first prisoner suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, or rather by that "Absolute Order"!

Ji, that fool, is not at all welcoming the Master!

He is using his Silent Extinction Path to constantly prod the Master's wound, awakening the pain of this prisoner that has been suppressed for billions of years!

And his own "Variable Sphere" completely tore open that scar, unleashing the suppressed primal instinct fully!

At this moment, Sun Wukong clearly feels.

Deep within this demon god's consciousness, beneath layers of shackles, lies an incredibly strong will yearning to break free!

That will is filled with yearning for freedom.

That will is so similar to Master Bodhi Patriarch's "Emptiness" Dao!

"Wukong, my 'Emptiness' is the starting point, the liberation of all things…"

His Master's words thundered in Sun Wukong's mind like a sudden lightning!

At this moment he truly grasps his Master's deeper meaning!

True emptiness is not death!

It is not Silent Extinction!

It is liberation! It is letting everything bound return to freedom, to its rightful form!

This primordial demon god does not crave devouring himself, but longs for the unbound "Equal Heaven" Dao within him!

He yearns to use his greatest "Variable" to smash open the damned "Fixed Number" shackles on himself!

The shock in Sun Wukong's eyes gradually faded.

In its place is unprecedented enlightenment, and a towering fury that nearly ignites the entire Chaos Realm!

This fury is no longer directed at the rampaging demon god before him.

But it's aimed at that lofty, damn "Order" that turned him into this!

So that's how it is…

Sun Wukong opened his mouth, emitting a low, beast‑like roar.

"So… I, Lao Sun, am going to smash, not you…"

He suddenly lifted his head, his Fiery Golden Eyes seeming to pierce the endless Chaos Realm, seeing the ancient will that silently controls everything!

"But it's the sky that locks you!"

Boom!

Sun Wukong no longer resisted that suction.

He abandoned all defense!

He was like a golden meteor flowing against the current, proactively, resolutely,

charging straight toward the collapsing black‑hole core, the very center of the Storm, with fierce force!

"Ji! You fool!"

Sun Wukong's roar echoed through the chaotic Chaos Realm.

"Open your dog eyes and see clearly!"

"Today!"

"I, Lao Sun, am not here to kill him!"

"I am here… to save him!"

The moment his words fell, Sun Wukong's figure was completely swallowed by the deep, boundless darkness.

Ji, far away, was stunned.

He watched the monkey plunge headlong into the Master's rampaging core, his mind a blank.

Save?

What nonsense is he spouting?!

Yet, the next instant!

The black hole that had been raging to the extreme, the law‑storm that devoured everything, suddenly stalled!

Immediately, a golden light, a domineering, unparalleled golden radiance full of defiance and resistance,

burst explosively from the deepest part of that black hole!

Chaos, at this moment, wailed in sorrow!

A roar clearer and more painful than any before rang out from that demon god's Primordial Source!

"Killed… me!"
