Chapitre 17: Chapter 17
Chapter 17
3rd POV
I will be stronger when my head is bright: "Wow! You must be old!! I'm still only 25 this year."
Goddess Zixia: "I am only one hundred and forty-five years old this year, still a young girl~"
The richest man is Iron Man: "More than a hundred years old?? Do we have any misunderstanding of the definition of youth?"
Nobita expected something like this… but damn!
If she is really a small world character under the main world of the Great Desolation, it is not surprising that she can live for so long.
After all, if he remembered correctly, characters in cultivation worlds often engage in cultivation that lasts for hundreds or even thousands of years
What is living for more than a century for them, when top cultivators live for millions of years.
The strongest primary school student in history: "@Zixia Goddess, do you remember anyone leaving this chat group?"
I have nine tails: "Ah~ is this still possible to withdraw from the group? I didn't see this option."
Bats can't be eaten: "I didn't see any option for that either."
The strongest elementary school student in history: "On average, the group system pulls one person a year. You have been around for nearly 30 years, and there are more. There shouldn't be only so many people in the group."
I have nine tails: "Yeah… now that you say, it is very confusing."
Zixia Goddess pondered hard, but did not remember any other group members other than the current group.
She always thought that these were all the people in the group...
Stone: "Hehe..."
The richest man in Iron Man: "!! Stone has spoken!"
Bats can't be eaten: "…"
I have nine tails: "Yo! Who are you, man?"
The stone ignored the others, but mentions Nobita.
Stone: "@The strongest primary school student in history, you are new a new member here, but you are the first to discover this problem. You are pretty observant for a child."
The strongest elementary school student in history: "Are you Sun Wukong?"
Stone:"!!"
--Journey to the West World--
In the seal under the Five Elements Mountain.
The monkey who had closed his eyes suddenly opened his eyes.
"How does he know my real name? How strange!"
'Just based on first message and my name, he deduced my identity? Does he know about my world too?' He thinks with an intrigued expression.
He has been in the group for longer than they think, he was the third person to join the group. For nearly a hundred years.
He's changed so much that he doesn't even recognize himself.
Since he joined the chat group, he has been crushed under the foot of the Five Elements Mountain and was full of rage, cursing the Buddha every day.
After activating the chat group, he saw many different worlds and got the joy of communicating with people.
Every day, he continues to scold Buddha in the group.
These seem like they just happened yesterday.
However, slowly, he discovered a problem.
He was the only one sending messages in the group, so he decided to stop talking in it.
He signed in silently every day and watched new members join the group in different time intervals.
He became a bit depressed, the self-confident Great Sage Monkey King, was not sure what to do anymore.
He was crushed under the Five Elements Mountain, he's been in this defeated state for many years. He felt that his character in imprisonment, and because of the chat group, became less high-spirited.
He became numb as time passed by.
He continues to meditate daily to retain his old self.
However, because of Nobita calling his name, Sun Wukong, who was almost immersed him in his thoughts for many years, suddenly became active.
'Is he also a Buddha of his world?' He thinks because Nobita seem to know about almost everyone in the chat group without ever meeting them.
The strongest elementary school student in history: "I guessed it, I didn't expect to guess it right, Monkey King, the Great Sage Equal to the Heavens~ I've seen several versions of your story."
Goddess Zixia: "Monkey King? I seem to have heard of the one who robbed the Bull Demon King's wife five hundred years ago?"
Stone: "…What??? I didn't do such a thing!! I just defeated the Army of Heaven's 100,000 celestial warriors and all 28 constellations and was fighting the Jade Emperor when that wretched Buddha showed up and imprisoned me under the Five Elements Mountain."
Goddess Zixia: "..."
The strongest primary school student in history: "Zixia, this Monkey King should not be the Monkey King of your world."
The world in which Zixia is should be a Chinese Odyssey, with some connections the Journey to the West story.
But they are not the same one.
In the original Journey to the West story, the Monkey King is tasked with escorting the monk to the West (India) to retrieve spiritual scriptures. Zixia's world, however, is an alternate version of that story, with modifications that create an almost entirely separate world and background.
[Stone spends ten points to change his name to Monkey King]
Monkey King: "That's right, how could I steal someone's wife! I have no such desire, but are you a Buddha, child? You know about a lot of things that should not be known to you."
The strongest elementary school student in history: "It's not important, the important thing is, what do you know about this chat group?"
Sun Wukong thought about it and said, "I was the third member to join this group, I don't know about the ones before me. But as far as I know, there are 112 people in the chat group."
112 people?
However, looking at the current number of chat groups, there are only eleven members.
Where did the remaining one hundred one people go?
Monkey King: "Actually, among them, there are many people who should have chatted and talked with you, especially Zixia who have been around for a bit longer than you all."
Goddess Zixia: "But, I don't remember anything! I only remember these people in the group."
The richest man is Iron Man: "I don't remember talking to them either…"
Monkey King: "It is strange! You really don't remember? Actually, I don't remember either."
As soon as Sun Wukong said this, all the friends in the group were stunned.
'What's going on here? You don't remember? Then what were you talking about? Have you gone senile under that mountain?' Everyone thought simultaneously.
When everyone else was speechless.
The strongest elementary school student in history: "I understand, if that's the case....it's easy."
When Sun Wukong entered the chat group for the first time, he was even more arrogant than Tony now.
At that time, he was held under the Five Elements Mountain for over a hundred years!
What is it like to live under a mountain for more than 100 years, unable to communicate with people, and unable to move at all?
Hard to imagine for people who don't have similar experiences.
Especially for Sun Wukong, who was conscious when he was still inside the stone which gave birth to him, his desire was to know the outside world.
Sun Wukong's character is to be free from any burden.
Therefore, the chat group almost became his savior.
However... many decades have passed. He felt more and more uncomfortable.
Why??? He always felt that something was missing in his life.
But couldn't say what exactly. Until one time, he counted his monkey hair...
His 84,000 hairs were all special. A single hair could multiply to millions or billions copies of himself if he wished.
However, from time to time, he found that he was missing a few.
And not once.
Suddenly, he wanted to find an old friend to ask. But he couldn't remember the name of his old friend at all.
Looking at the chat group, he couldn't find the information of his old friends who he could not remember.
Monkey King: "So, do you understand? The reason why I don't speak is because... you will disappear from my memory sooner or later, what friends do I need when I will not even remember them."
I will be stronger when my head is bright: "Stone... No, Monkey King, do you have amnesia? I know a psychiatrist. I will call him to tell you a few words?"
The richest man in Iron Man: "Are you out of your mind? Don't you understand? What he said is someone's manipulating our memories!"
Tony looked like he understood what the Monkey King was saying. At the same time, he became even more paranoid and shuddered!
The strongest elementary school student in history: "It seems this chat group is not as simple as it appears. It has likely existed for a very long time—perhaps not just a few hundred years, but even longer. The members of the group are probably long dead, and... based on the reactions of Monkey King and Zixia, it seems that the memories of those who knew the old members are erased once they pass away…"
Bats can't eat: "!!!"
Goddess Zixia: "This…"
Everyone broke into a cold sweat when they grasped the implications of Nobita's words.
The most important thing relationship is that you also exist in the memory of others.
Being wiped out of this existence, feels like what true death would be.
Nobita also became nervous, being a member here could mean, if anyone of them die because of something, they too could be wiped out of existence.
Relying on the chat group has been helpful, but if the price is non-existence upon death, then the benefits seem lackluster compared to the cost.
All who come into contact with you will forget you. Even the people closest to you.
All the things you have done, the imprints you have left, the images on the photos, will be wiped off by the invisible hand.
The richest man is Iron Man: "I don't know about you, but I think I'll stop relying on this thing too much from now on. My name will disappear from this world? My friends won't remember me anymore? My family won't remember I ever existed? The chat group's help is not worth them."
Tony sat upright on his sofa. His playful expression turned into a solemn one.
He just found out Pepper is pregnant and he secretly scanned it himself be sure of it. It was a daughter.
If he does not exist anymore, will his daughter disappear too?
The strongest elementary school student in history: "This, I don't know very well. After all, I haven't experienced it. Otherwise, you can try it. Although others may forget you, I have a way to record your information."
Nobita tries to lighten up the mood.
He did remember that there was a prop that seemed to be able to record the information after such a sense of existence was erased.
The richest man is Iron Man: "...I don't want to try..."
Monkey King: "@The strongest primary school student in history, you are very different. I have been held under the Five Elements Mountain for two hundred years. Although I forgot a lot of people, you are really different. Can you help me recover my friend's memory? Are you more powerful than the Buddha?"
The strongest elementary school student in history: "Which Buddha do you mean?"
Monkey King: "It's the Tathagata Buddha~"
The strongest elementary school student in history: "There are also many Buddhas in the Tathagata. Like Zixia, the Tathagatas in their world are different from your world."
Monkey King: "..."
Sun Wukong was a little dumbfounded.
Immediately, the nature that had been suppressed for many years popped out again.
Monkey King: "There are multiple Buddhas out there? I will defeat them all when I escape this prison."
He is angry!
Goddess Zixia: "But why?? He was so kind to me."
Nobita laughed when he saw this scene.
Monkey King: "@Zixia Goddess, are you also the minion of that dog?"
The strongest elementary school student in history: "Don't frighten Zixia, she was just a wick of the lamp oil under the seat of the Buddha..."
Goddess Zixia: "Great Sage, don't scare me, I...I'm not afraid of you!"
Monkey King held a grudge against the Buddha, but Zixia was brought to life and enlightened by the Buddha in his infinite compassion.
Therefore, no matter how vicious Sun Wukong is, she can't go against the Buddha's kindness and help others to speak ill of the Buddha.
This goes against her heart.
The strongest primary school student in history: "You'll be okay Monkey king! And Zixia, did you know, Monkey King is your destined one?"
Goddess Zixia: "How do you know this?!!"
Zixia has a sword, called: Ziqing Sword.
The sword is supposed to be a part of her destiny.
Although she was enlightened by Buddha, she did not enter the Buddhahood. Although she was an immortal, she was not under the jurisdiction of the immortal world. She has a destiny of her own.
All along, she has been waiting for her fate.
The man who can pull out her purple and green sword will be her lifelong lover.
After waiting for so many years, she didn't expect Nobita to know about that?
The strongest elementary school student in history: "The destined person who pulls your sword out and be after your supreme treasure is the reincarnation of that world's Sun Wukong!"
Goddess Zixia: "!! Monkey? My fated one is Sun Wukong? A monkey?!"
Zixia collapsed instantly. 'How is this possible?'
However, listening to Zixia say this, Sun Wukong himself was reluctant.
Monkey King: "Buddhist woman! How dare you insult me like this?"
"I am the Monkey King, born of the heaven and earth by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the Great Sage Equal to the Heavens. Why am I not good enough for you? Besides, why would I want someone like you as my lifelong partner, do you even have finger long hairs on your body, no you don't! You are not even a monkey!!"
Goddess Zixia: "And finger long hairs on my body! You think I, Zixia likes you! Humph!"
The strongest elementary school student in history: "Uh... you may have misunderstood. What I said is that the Monkey King of her world is not you Monkey King. Both of you are two different people."
The Monkey King in Journey to the West was originally a monkey whose demon nature was greater than his divine nature, he became almost too powerful and but he was still incomparable to the Monkey King of Zixia's world.
The two Monkey Kings are levels apart. Zixia's world should be much more powerful compared to the chat group Sun Wukong's world since it has the exaggerated elements of Chinese Cultivation stories with different levels of world in there.
Goddess Zixia: "Humph! Even if it's another Sun Wukong, I can't possibly like him! Even if he can draw my sword, I won't accept it! Who likes a monkey!? My fated one will be an unparalleled hero, one day he will step on the colorful clouds to marry me! It's like...like..."
Speaking of this, Zixia paused.
Goddess Zixia: "@the strongest elementary school student in history, why don't you come to my world to pull out that sword. Surely, you could do it."
The strongest elementary school student in history: "…I'm only a ten, lady!!"
Seeing Zixia turning the topic to himself, Nobita quickly retreated.
Zixia would choose someone like Nobita at any time compared to someone like the Monkey king, even if Nobita's still a child, she could certainly wait.
The strongest elementary school student in history: "cough… forget about that, let's discuss another matter!"
Nobita also changed the topic: "@Monkey King, Sun Wukong, you still at the foot of Five Elements Mountain right?"
The Great Sage Equalling Heaven: "Yes… I haven't been able to escape from there till now."
Speaking of this, Sun Wukong sighed.
He is very upset!
The strongest elementary school student in history: "Are you interested in coming out?"
[E/N: The Chinese is too strong in the next few chapters.]
