MMORPG: Divine Monster Transmuter

Chapter 407: Sun Wukong’s Distress Call

Imperial Palace, Tianzi City.

“Scram, all of you scram!”

The angry King Zhou drove away all his concubines that wanted to be close with him, and then smashed some of the decorations on the table into the ground.

“Shi Long, lead an army to Mechanus and destroy it in my name! Let us see if the Shifter Emperor will come out then!” King Zhou said to Shi Long who was standing quietly on the side.

“Understood!” Shi Long replied and then he was going to exit the room and head out.

However, he had only taken the first step when Su Daji and Su Ningxiang walked in.

Su Daji walked over charmingly as she moved her waist and then came next to King Zhou’s side, softly stroking his chest and then asked him in a soft voice, “My King, what happened that could have made you so angry?”

When he saw Su Daji, King Zhou’s fiery emotion had slightly died down.

He did not know why, but he could not be angry at Su Daji. He would always be soft with her.

“It was all because of that Shifter Emperor. Not only did he obtain the Floating Island, he even humiliated me. I must destroy Mechanus!” King Zhou said angrily.

“My king, do not get angry. Also, do not send Shi Long out to war. Once our child is born, we will go and find that Shifter Emperor together, alright?” Su Daji said to King Zhou as she stroked her belly.

“What?! My beloved, are you saying that you have my flesh and bones within you?” When King Zhou heard Su Daji’s words, he was first completely stunned before it turned into joy.

“Yes,” Su Daji went into King Zhou’s caress shyly.

“Haha! Good! I shall have a child soon! When our child is born, he must be a very powerful child! Then, defeating the Shifter Emperor would be child’s play! Alright, I will leave him alone for now.”

King Zhou had bedded so many concubines, but none of them had his child. But his most beloved Su Daji had his child. That made him very excited, and would also obey everything that Su Daji had said.

Su Daji and Su Ningxiang exchanged a glance and heaved a sigh of relief. They managed to dispel Jiang Feng’s and Mechanus’s danger.

Floating Island.

Jiang Feng released Ling Luo from the Lianyao Flask with an awkward smile.

Ling Luo had only complained once, but when she came out from the Lianyao Flask and saw the beautiful scenery on the floating island, all her unhappiness had drifted away.

“The Floating Island! Shifter Emperor, how did you do it?” Ling Luo asked Jiang Feng with a smile.

Jiang Feng said with a faint smile, “Of course that is because I am very powerful.”

“Tsk.” Ling Luo rolled her eyes at him.

“Speaking of which, I have something I want to ask you!” Jiang Feng remembered the Twelve Knights of Despair rings and asked Ling Luo about them.

Ling Luo should be a player.

And players played games only to have fun. They definitely would not want to be bound to a piece of equipment. Many players would be very against it.

“What is it?”

“Are you willing to be one of Shifter Knights?”

“Shifter Knights? You mean, the Shifter Knights of the Twelve Knights of Despair?”

“Yes.”

“Sure, give it to me!”

***

After their exchange, it made Jiang Feng really surprised. Ling Luo did not hesitate at all. She even wanted it.

But after giving it a thought, he understood why. Ling Luo still did not know about the stats of the Twelve Knights of Despair rings.

“This is one of the Twelve Knights of Despair rings. Look at it first before deciding,” Jiang Feng said to Ling Luo, then took out one of the Twelve Knights of Despair rings and gave it to her.

Ling Luo accepted the ring with a blush on her face, and did not even think twice and immediately wore it on her middle finger.

The moment that the ring was worn on her middle finger, the ring immediately radiated a dark-red fire, and it skewered into her finger. She could not handle the pain, and she shuddered because of it.

Next, a drop of blood appeared on her finger, and it was then inserted into the ring slot behind the floating order where one ring was missing.

“You...”

Jiang Feng was shocked when he saw that she wore the ring without giving it a second thought.

“Tee hee, it’s quite pretty. I like it!” Ling Luo said with a smile as she raised her slender hand and looked at the ring.

“Fine, let’s go.”

When he saw that the ring on Ling Luo’s finger was already bound to her, he was not going to say anything else. Instead, he controlled the Floating Island to quickly head toward Guanghan Lake.

Ling Luo smiled playfully as he looked at Jiang Feng, who was standing on the edge of the Floating Island. She then thought to herself, ‘The Shifter Emperor is quite kind. He doesn’t want me to be controlled by a ring, and also doesn’t want my freedom to be restricted. I wonder what he would think if he knew that I can remove the Twelve Knights of Despair ring.’

In the end, she was still this game’s Lord god. Even if she had already become a player and could not control the game’s settings and other things, if she wanted to remove her own status as a player, all she needed was but a thought.

That was the backdoor that she had opened for her character when she became a player.

“Void Nightmare!”

She smiled and stopped thinking about it, and then summoned the Artifact Spirits of the Twelve Knights of Despair ring and experienced the power of the Void Nightmare.

“Haha! This Void Nightmare is so much fun!” Ling Luo, who was riding her Void Nightmare, was calling out as she had fun.

Jiang Feng turned around and looked at her, and then gave her a smile. He then sat on the edge of the Floating Island and lay on the ground, both his hands behind his head as he looked into the sky slowly turning yellow.

He thought back about what had happened for the past year. It was like a dream.

He was the poor kid who was bullied in school, and his life had changed ever since he picked up the Divine Dominion terminal, and his entire destiny seemed to have changed.

And he had gone through a lot of pain from being a dog to becoming the Shifter Emperor.

Even his sick and studious dad had suddenly become a boss, and he himself had become a second-generation wealthy kid. That had made him feel that it was all even more unreal.

‘I wonder where dad is? I wonder who is dad’s enemy? I wonder why dad never told me about mum?’

There were many questions in his heart, but there was no one that could answer his questions for him.

“Hm?”

Just as he was lamenting, thinking, and was puzzled by his own thoughts, a sunset appeared in the sky. There was an image in the sunset.

On the image was a Five Fingers Mountain that was ten times larger than the Five Fingers Mountain, and Buddhist mantras were written all over it.

Under the Five Fingers Mountain, next to a peach tree forest, a monkey head was stuck outside.

During Spring, the rocks next to the monkey head grew fresh and beautiful flowers despite its initial struggles.

During Summer, a group of grasshoppers was jumping around the monkey head, and there were the sounds of cicadas from far off trees.

During Autumn, the grasshoppers and the sounds of cicadas were all gone. There were only the falling leaves dancing in the air.

During Winter, heavy snow would bury the monkey. Hot tears flowed from the monkey’s eyes that would melt the snow, so he could continue to watch this world.

Many Springs and Autumns had passed. Many Summers and Winters had passed.

But the monkey was all alone being crushed under the Five Fingers Mountain, surrounded by loneliness.

But there was hope in his eyes. Hope that he could one day leave the bindings of the Five Fingers Mountain and return to the side of his wife and child.

The image then turned into a sunset, and the monkey felt like he could sense something. He looked into the sunset, crying, “Shifter Emperor, is that you?”

Jiang Feng’s body shuddered and he asked, “Great Saint, you can see me?”

The monkey was Sun Wukong, The Great Saint who Equates the Heaven!

Sun Wukong said, “You have fused with my body from my previous incarnation, that is why we can sense each other. Come to Dragonquarry quickly and save Violetglow and my Master, and the child in Violetglow!”

Jiang Feng said helplessly, “Great Saint, I can’t help even if I wanted to as I can’t go to Dragonquarry. But don’t worry, one of these days, I will save you and fight our way to Greater Linyin Temple*!”

Sun Wukong shook his head and said, “Shifter Emperor, now...”

Sun Wukong still wanted to say something, but the sunset had disappeared, and so did the image in front of them. Sun Wukong’s and his connection had been broken.

“Huff...”

He came to and heaved out a sigh of frustration. He did not expect that Sun Wukong still could not escape Tathagata’s hand on Dragonquarry. Perhaps it was because he had fused with Sun Wukong’s body, he felt extremely upset and angry!

T/L Note: Should be Greater Leiyin Temple, but I’m not sure at this point.
