Chapter 1231: Reclaim Dominance Over the Journey to the West Calamity

Compared to previous cosmic calamities, the scope of the Journey to the West Calamity was not large.

Since Buddhism can hardly reassert dominance over the Journey to the West Calamity, the probability that it will simply fizzle out is extremely high.

Severely crippling the Two Western Saints is certainly one way to accomplish the task of reversing the Journey to the West Calamity.

It may also be one of the most difficult ways.

The Multiverse Chat Group offered only one hundred million points for reversing the Journey to the West Calamity.

Although a one-hundred-million-point task is unprecedented.

But the value of one hundred million points is at most equivalent to the Hunyuan layer, absolutely not comparable to a Heavenly Dao level.

The points offered by the Multiverse Chat Group are closely tied to the difficulty of the task.

Therefore, according to the Multiverse Chat Group's prediction, reversing the Journey to the West Calamity would involve only Saints, not Heavenly Dao level beings.

After all, the strongest member of the Multiverse Chat Group, Luo Fu, is merely at the Quasi-Saint layer.

Sending a Quasi-Saint to directly confront a Heavenly Dao level powerhouse is not a task—it's a death sentence. The Multiverse Chat Group never assigns tasks that directly lead to death; this guarantee still holds.

So under normal circumstances, even if Luo Fu reverses the Journey to the West Calamity through certain means, Ancestor Hongjun is unlikely to personally intervene.

The Journey to the West Calamity is not that important. 7969! 42877

As long as Ancestor Hongjun is willing, he can re-plan this kind of calamity countless times.

After all, the Journey to the West Calamity affects very few levels, involving almost no Quasi-Saints, unlike the previous two calamities where Saints ultimately had to descend personally.

The Multiverse Chat Group's expectations were largely correct, and the points they offered were also reasonable.

The only problem is Luo Fu.

As the task executor, Luo Fu is simply too monstrous and too bold.

Anyone else, faced with Ancestor Hongjun's threat, would only think of completing the task as quickly as possible.

As soon as the Multiverse Chat Group confirms the task is done, they can immediately exit the Journey to the West World without directly confronting Ancestor Hongjun.

Luo Fu did not do this.

He does not merely want to complete the task—he wants to complete it thoroughly, with no lingering consequences.

As previously stated, reversing the Journey to the West Calamity is not particularly difficult. But this kind of reversal, strictly speaking, is not a complete reversal.

The Journey to the West Calamity was planned by Ancestor Hongjun; as long as Ancestor Hongjun has not fully consumed the Heavenly Dao, the Journey to the West Calamity will continue to occur.

At that time, the Journey to the West Calamity might not be called that anymore, but something else.

The name changes, but the essence remains the same.

Therefore, fundamentally speaking, merely eliminating the Two Western Saints only counts as reversing the Journey to the West Calamity—it does not alter its fundamental nature.

For Luo Fu and Sun Wukong, this is actually unimportant, especially for Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong's fate is determined by the Journey to the West Calamity; he is the one most suited to it.

If the Journey to the West Calamity were replaced by another calamity, it would have little to do with Sun Wukong.

In terms of both identity and strength, the current Sun Wukong is not suited to participate in other calamities.

The reason the Journey to the West Calamity does not involve Quasi-Saints is because Ancestor Hongjun deliberately controlled it.

Since the Journey to the West Calamity does not involve Quasi-Saints, other calamities are also unlikely to involve them.

For the current Primordial World, the destructive power of a Quasi-Saint is simply too great.

The Journey to the West Calamity primarily occurs in the Earth Immortal Realm; if Quasi-Saints were allowed to intervene, the result would be one: the Earth Immortal Realm would be half-destroyed, and the Journey to the West Calamity would be ruined.

Luo Fu is fully aware of this.

Precisely because he understands this, Luo Fu's planning has progressed step by step.

First target Buddhism, then target the Two Western Saints.

The karmic curse energy on the Two Western Saints is, strictly speaking, Luo Fu's insurance.

It ensures the task is completed even if the plan fails.

From the very beginning, Luo Fu prepared multiple contingencies.

No matter which step of the plan fails, Luo Fu has corresponding measures.

If, back then, Luo Fu had forced the Two Western Saints to commit suicide and Ancestor Hongjun had personally attacked him, the karmic curse energy would have guaranteed the successful reversal of the Journey to the West Calamity.

The same applies to all other plans—Luo Fu also prepared for failure.

For example, collecting the true spirits of others into the Chaos Pearl was to prevent Ancestor Hongjun from purging them if the plan failed.

As long as the true spirits remain, with Luo Fu's methods, even if Supreme Elder and others perish at Ancestor Hongjun's hands, Luo Fu can still revive them.

All of Luo Fu's planning, beyond completing the task, is largely meant to test Ancestor Hongjun.

Luo Fu has now completely surpassed all beings of the Primordial World; the only one who can threaten him is Ancestor Hongjun.

The Ancestor Hongjun of the Journey to the West World poses little threat to Luo Fu; the Ancestor Hongjun of the Primordial World, however, is a major threat to Luo Fu.

The Journey to the West World is not Luo Fu's native world; if he wishes, he can instantly leave the Journey to the West World via the Multiverse Chat Group.

The Primordial World is different.

Luo Fu came to the Journey to the West World because he accepted a task; leaving it only requires abandoning the task.

The cost of traversing between worlds is mostly borne by the Multiverse Chat Group, so Luo Fu does not need to pay much.

But if Luo Fu wishes to immediately return to the Primordial World, he must pay the cost of traversing between worlds himself.

The cost of traversing between worlds is so immense that even Luo Fu finds it painfully steep.

Unless absolutely necessary, Luo Fu does not wish to pay such a heavy price.

As Luo Fu's strength grows, he will inevitably confront Ancestor Hongjun.

Testing Ancestor Hongjun's power is a very necessary matter for Luo Fu.

Testing Ancestor Hongjun in the Primordial World would require too great a cost; Luo Fu will not attempt it lightly.

The Journey to the West World is different—even if the task fails, the cost Luo Fu must pay is not great.

Moreover, Luo Fu has great confidence that he can complete the mission.

Under the condition of completing the mission, Luo Fu can instantly depart to the Journey to the West World via the Multiverse Chat Group.

With Luo Fu's methods, even if he makes a major mistake, he would at most be sealed away by Ancestor Hongjun.

With the Multiverse Chat Group, he can leave the Journey to the West World at any time.

The Multiverse Chat Group can traverse worlds; such a seal could never block its power.

This means Luo Fu does not need to pay any price to test Ancestor Hongjun's strength.

The real purpose behind all the things Luo Fu has done is precisely this.
