This event didn't just happen once. It occurred every time Wukong faced a tribulation, that space rift appeared with scenes visible from within. At that time, Wukong had thought it was that superior being's doing, aiming to show him numerous secrets to achieve a certain goal. However, after the recent contact with this superior being, Wukong realized it wasn't as he had thought, based on what that person had said; he had no reason at all to show Wukong those images.

The person behind the scenes could possibly be the very opponent or likewise someone who had taken over the opponent's body, with a shocking plan of their own. Wukong and his four companions were merely executors in this plan, essentially tools that were created, as cruel as it sounds, but that was the fact. In that case, Wukong really didn't need to know too much because the more Wukong knew, the more variables there would be in this matter. This meant that the person behind the scenes had no need, not even the slightest, to let Wukong see those images, those secrets that should have stayed hidden. Especially the last time, when Wukong saw Bajie, White Dragon, and Old Sand getting framed, and the one likely doing the framing was this very superior being.

Thus, a very strange occurrence unfolded. Someone wanted to do something but couldn't act on their own, so they used various methods to gather a group of people and then made them their accomplices through framing, although the group was unaware. Then, to better assist this group in achieving his goal, he granted them some special and powerful abilities. Up to this point, everything was fine. But then, problems arose.

Suddenly, through the method of showing these images, this person let the group see how they had initially been framed and unveiled some of the secrets behind the event, and it wasn't just once. Such behavior was entirely unnecessary; letting the group know too many truths was only detrimental to the endeavor and had no benefits. Given the intellect of that superior being, they would certainly not make such a mistake. Yet, it had happened, and if one wanted to make sense of it, there was only one other explanation: the person showing Wukong those images was someone else, not the superior being who had just possessed Tathagata.

Wukong immediately felt a headache coming on; the complexity of the whole affair had surpassed his imagination. If this were the case, the powers within this Fang Universe were actually quite intricate and complex. To start with, there were the Six Great Divine Nations, who were the nobility of this universe on the surface, deciding the life and death of many high-level and intermediate worlds below them. The current Six Great Divine Nations were Netherworld World, Fangcun Spirit Realm, Ancient Primordial World, Canglan Water Realm, Myriad Gods Hall, and Annihilation Demon Nation. But the Annihilation Demon Nation had been wiped out and existed in name only, making it very possible that Myriad Demons Country or Genesis Divine Nation will become the replacement for Annihilation Demon Nation among the Divine Nations.

The new Six Great Divine Nations, with Netherworld World and Genesis Divine Nation definitely on one side, also likely have very close ties with the Crimson Army. Fangcun Spirit Realm remained neutral, but after Dao Zhun's death, Fangcun Spirit Realm showed discontent with the Law Enforcers. The other major powers also indicated their desire to form alliances with Netherworld World. And Myriad Demons Country, led by Xi Zhao and Ling Weiyang, could be considered an independent power.

In this way, the Divine Nations could be divided into three factions. Next, the Universal Law Enforcers, who currently numbered eight. Wukong was certain that among them, the Spirit Controller had already harbored other intentions; he very much wanted to eliminate the other enforcers to dominate alone. However, his ambitions should have been greatly curtailed now, due to the presence of the Crimson Army, making it impossible for the Spirit Controller to fulfill his desire to rule the universe. The most probable scenario was the Spirit Controller continuing to hide his true intentions, not wanting to openly confront the other enforcers. Therefore, the eight Law Enforcers could be considered a single entity.

Then there was the Crimson Army. Even though they currently had only five members, their strength was still considerable. With the power of these five, the leader of the Crimson Army, Ziling, had the confidence to contend with the eight Law Enforcers, demonstrating the formidable force of the Crimson Army. As for the stance of the Crimson Army, they did not clearly assert their position, maintaining a half-enemy, half-ally relationship with the Law Enforcers, showing that Ziling was undoubtedly quite astute. They could also be considered an independent force.

There was also the Underworld God Army. From his interactions in the Patrolling Celestial World with the Underworld God Army, Wukong suspected that the Underworld God Army might not just consist of those who were imprisoned there. If the Crimson Army could still have five mighty survivors, wasn't it possible that the Underworld God Army, once on par with the Crimson Army, might also have a few powerful individuals who had secretly survived? However, this was all Wukong's speculation without any proof. So if there truly were remnants of the Underworld God Army out there, they might well be another faction of power.

Besides that, the only other figures were the one who had just leaned over Tathagata's body and the person who showed me those images. These should be two individuals, representing two completely opposing forces. The person with the grand plan, the one who bent over Tathagata, was undertaking some massive scheme, and the person who showed me those images was from a force trying to stop him. That's why they showed me those images—to let me understand the truth within. Moreover, I, Sun Wukong, can almost be certain that neither the Crimson Army nor the Law Enforcers are aware of that person's existence, nor is he aware of the existence of the force showing me these images.

At the same time, the Law Enforcers have their own agenda, the Crimson Army has theirs, and the Myriad Demons Country, where Xi Zhao and Ling Weiyang reside, also have their plans. Now, this significant individual has his own plans, and the force showing me the images must be attempting to thwart his initiative. Then there's the Crimson Army trying to stop Xi Zhao and Ling Weiyang's plans, and Xi Zhao and Ling Weiyang are, at the same time, trying to prevent the Law Enforcers' plans…

I, Sun Wukong, suddenly felt dizzy; the complexity had become bewilderingly intricate. It seemed that every party and every force was aware of my existence, and they all seemed to know what made me special. Although I was aware of them all, they didn't all know of each other. Thus, I, or rather, the group of five disciples, including me, might also be considered a force. In the end, I, Sun Wukong, was left with one critical question: What exactly did I mean to all these people and forces?

At this point, the notion that I was merely an outsider was long discarded; many events made it clear that I am not just any participant, but someone who's alarmingly close to the center of the maelstrom. My appearance, existence, and many experiences, it seemed, were not just coincidences. So, what role am I playing in all of this, and are the plans that these forces are enacting the same?

I, Sun Wukong, even had a feeling that they were all involved in the same matter, and that's why they kept creating obstacles for each other, trying to hinder one another's progress. If my guess was correct, what exactly was this matter? How deep were Ling Weiyang's and Xi Zhao's cunning when they were playing this game with so many powerful players?

I, Sun Wukong, wondered: If I were to vanish suddenly or, to put it more directly, if I were to die outright, how would the various forces react? Would there be immediate chaos, or would they just find a new Sun Wukong? Thankfully, my reason prevented me from such action.

Also, from the words of the significant individual leaning over Tathagata, I learned that the underlying message behind his words was to steer me toward the Illusionary Bug Domain or the Fallen Tomb. This guide was forthright; he didn't conceal his intentions, apparently knowing me quite well. He also showed an immense confidence that even if he openly expressed his purpose, in the end, I would not refuse and would act according to his expectations—to enter the Fallen Tomb.

And I, Sun Wukong? I could only shake my head and give a wry smile. Given my nature, I truly couldn't disregard it. Even though I knew that person wanted me to enter the Fallen Tomb for his own plan, I found that if I didn't go in or if I simply fled, I would probably live in regret thereafter. I, Sun Wukong, am not one to back down.

Though I am faced with a million people, I shall proceed. This courage is innate in me. Even if you scheme to the fullest, I, Old Sun, shall not fear. No matter your plans, I, Old Sun, shall see them through to the end. Who says a pawn must always be at the mercy of others?

The Fallen Tomb, I, Old Sun, shall indeed go! (Great activities like pie falling from the sky, cool smartphones waiting for you to grab!
