Chapter 359: Demon Beast Sightings

Hell time, 8 p. m.

Well, to be precise, Hell has no day or night.

But Satan, so that the demons could have a sense of time, transplanted the Human World's system.

Although there is still no day or night, the flow of time matches that of the Human World exactly.

To prevent demons from confusing time when trading with humans.

At this moment.

Yu Lin has not yet returned to the Human World; he is attending the New King—King of Consideration's ascension banquet in Hell.

There's no way around it—when Satan uttered those four words, Hell stamped the New King's name, and it cannot be changed.

No wonder Gu She cursed loudly, feeling that Satan was messing with him.

Consequently, throughout the banquet everyone kept their lips pursed, looking sullen.

Until the banquet ended.

Yu Lin planned to sit with Satan again, when Gu She suddenly rose and walked toward him:

"Please don't leave yet."

Yu Lin halted, turned his head toward him, raised an eyebrow and said, "Hmm?"

"Anything you need?"

Satan, walking beside him, also wore a puzzled expression, unaware of what Gu She intended.

For a moment, everyone's gaze focused on Gu She.

Watching him walk toward Yu Lin.

Then he transformed into human form, and a seemingly ordinary fruit—unlike any known fruit—appeared in his right hand.

He handed the fruit to Yu Lin and said:

"This is the fruit of that tree; now only this one remains in the world, and I have kept it for a long time."

"It can grant the Eye of Good and Evil; as a token of gratitude, I give it to you."

Yu Lin stared at the fruit, did not take it immediately, and asked:

"The one Adam and Eve ate originally?"

Gu She nodded, "Yes."

"Then I understand," Yu Lin nodded, took the fruit and put it away.

He had given the Glove Wisdom Spring Water to drink; now, regarding this fruit that can open the Eye of Good and Evil, he does not intend to eat it, but will set it aside and observe.

After all, the next mission's reward is characterized by good and evil, and it's unclear whether this good‑evil is like the fruit—able to see and know good and evil.

Or perhaps it directly grants mastery over the two Authorities of good and evil.

As for why Gu She gave him this fruit, it likely relates to that tree; perhaps the curse God placed on Gu She is bound to the tree.

Gu She might have some malicious intent… With God absent, he can't afford to offend that fellow in Heaven!

He'll speak of it later.

Yu Lin turned and left with Satan.

Gu She watched his silhouette recede, then reverted to snake form, glared at the demons attempting to approach with flattery, and left alone.

After a month of staying in Hell, Yu Lin finally left.

At this moment, the Human World is already autumn.

Some rather unexpected events have occurred for Yu Lin.

The Demon Beast that vanished for ages has reappeared!

But now it's called a Mountain Wild Beast spirit.

Perhaps due to a surge in the concentration of the qi of heaven and earth, reports from forests everywhere claim animals turning into spirits…

Yu Lin sat in his chair, watching the news on TV, thinking to himself, No wonder there were no Demon Beast traces before; the qi concentration was too low to spawn them.

Beside him, Ning Ya, who had come to play, thrust out his phone: "Yu Lin, look."

"They even found a monkey from Journey to the West, claiming it's the reincarnation of Sun Wukong and demanding the government grant it the title Great Sage Equal to Heaven!"

"You said that in a few days, we might see a modern version of Great Havoc in Heaven? Hahaha."

Yu Lin: "..........."

"Later they'll send you to submit for peace, and you'll be honest."

Ning Ya shrugged, "It's not impossible."

"When the time comes, they'll recruit it as your pet."

"Hmm, what shall we eat later?"

Yu Lin thought for a moment, then stood and said:

"Shall we go out and see?"

Ning Ya put away the phone and rose with him: "Alright."

The two walked out of the room.

As they walked, Ning Ya suddenly asked:

"By the way, how did you obtain the qi?"

"How did you do it?"

Yu Lin raised his hand and pointed to the sky: "Simple."

"Just crush Outer Space mercilessly, force it to expel all its qi, lock it onto Earth, let Earth prosper first, then bring other planets…"

"Moreover, I can command law with my words; why do you still care where I source the qi?"

Ning Ya nodded, suddenly realizing, "Indeed."

"The Universe is so big."

"Perhaps the aliens are the big masters who have achieved great cultivation out there; of course, compared to you, who are overpowered, hmm, you're still the impressive one."

"Let's not talk about that. How about going there to eat?"

Yu Lin looked at the restaurant she pointed to and nodded:

"Hmm."

"Whoever jumps over this waterfall first becomes the Monkey King."

"Who agrees? Who opposes?"

In front of a roaring waterfall, a monkey whose whole body was covered in fur that shone with Golden Light and looked especially otherworldly stood upright like a human before a chattering crowd of ordinary monkeys, speaking human words to announce the rules of the Monkey King Contest.

The monkey troupe looked at each other, scratching ears and chins, with bewildered expressions, clearly not grasping what Jin Mao Hou Zi was saying.

Jin Mao Hou Zi, seeing this, slapped his fluffy forehead hard, suddenly realizing: "Ah! I forgot, you bunch of guys still can't speak human language!"

It immediately switched to the monkeys' common "language", emitting a series of modulated calls: "Chirp chirp, woo ah woo ah, squeak squeak squeak?"

Now the monkeys understood, instantly leapt up excitedly, nodding and squeaking in agreement to this thrilling game.

Jin Mao Hou Zi nodded satisfactorily and asked who would start first?

The monkey troupe collectively glanced at the raging, towering waterfall, then at the bottomless pool below, tucked their necks, and in perfect unison raised their paws, pointing at Jin Mao Hou Zi, the one who proposed the idea.

The meaning was crystal clear: you suggested it, so you go first!

Jin Mao Hou Zi, however, didn't seem to mind at all.

It turned to the edge of the waterfall, gazing at the massive Water Curtain that resembled a galaxy falling from the heavens, inhaled deeply, then powerfully thrust its hind legs, launching its whole body like a golden arrow toward the center of the waterfall!

Just as its body was about to collide with the Water Curtain, an unassuming Ancient Jade Ring on its front paw suddenly emitted a faint, almost imperceptible white halo.

A strange thing occurred— the ever‑rushing, immensely powerful waterfall, upon touching the halo, seemed to be split by an invisible blade, parting to both sides and revealing a gap large enough for a monkey to pass through!

"Hehe!" Jin Mao Hou Zi grinned:

"This ring I picked up is truly a treasure! Now the Monkey King, I'm sure…"

Its smile and the pride in its heart froze completely in the next instant!

Because behind the split waterfall, the expected Water Curtain Cave did not appear.

In its place stood an incredibly hard, moss‑covered, water‑glimmering rock wall!

"Bang!!!"

A deep, solid, thunderous boom!

Jin Mao Hou Zi had no time to react; its whole face and body crashed solidly, without any cushion, into that hard rock wall!

The massive impact blackened its vision, and stars scattered across the sky.

Immediately after, its golden form slipped softly from the rock wall with a "splash", falling into the water below and sending a spray of water everywhere!

The monkey troupe on the bank, seeing this sudden scene, first froze in shock, then grimaced, covering their faces or heads with paws, as if feeling the pain themselves, emitting "squeak squeak" cries of agony.

After a while, the water‑soaked Jin Mao Hou Zi finally emerged dazedly from the water, floundering back to the shore.

It shook its dripping fur, looked up at the still‑raging waterfall, scratched the sore spot on the back of its head with a paw, its face full of huge confusion and incomprehension, muttering:

"That's not right…"

"The book clearly says that behind the waterfall… there should be a Water Curtain Cave…"
