Flower Fruit Mountain.
The once magnificent mountain range had split wide open.
The surrounding atmosphere was also extremely grand.
Amidst the sparse flowers and plants.
Two figures were slowly approaching.
Both were dressed as hunters, and both had handsome and elegant features.
They were like heavenly immortals!
The mountain range itself was extremely steep.
But under the feet of these two, it was as if they were walking on flat ground.
“Disciple.”
The hunter, Yang Erlang, walked ahead. He spoke softly, “This is Flower Fruit Mountain, the place where… the Great Sage, Equal to Heaven, was born, according to human legend. Do you want to see it?”
Behind him, Liu Chang Kong's eyes flickered with a glimmer of light.
Then he felt a bit confused.
Flower Fruit Mountain seemed different from what he imagined.
These marks were clearly from a cleaving force. Did Flower Fruit Mountain have this kind of disaster?
Liu Chang Kong was puzzled.
In truth, he was not a native of this world.
He was reborn into this world from another.
So he had heard stories about Journey to the West in the other world.
He was quite familiar with the tale of the Monkey King.
But he had never heard that Flower Fruit Mountain would be like this.
Speaking of Flower Fruit Mountain.
Liu Chang Kong couldn't help but look at Yang Erlang.
If Flower Fruit Mountain truly existed, would Yang Erlang be that Yang Erlang?
He was still in the midst of his doubts.
Yang Erlang gently pushed him, and he said in a deep voice, "When I was still in the mortal realm, I saw you enjoyed hearing tales of myths. Now we're here, why don't you go in?"
Liu Chang Kong moved forward, following his push.
“I’ve been to this place before, so I won’t go with you.”
Yang Erlang’s gaze turned towards the mountain range, a unique expression in his eyes.
“Then I’ll go!”
Liu Chang Kong pondered briefly, organizing the bow and arrows on his back, tightening his grip on the three-pronged steel fork in his hand.
Yang Erlang was still looking up at the mountain.
He didn't give any response.
…
On the other side.
Liu Chang Kong slowly climbed to the top of the mountain.
Flower Fruit Mountain was indeed beautiful, but it seemed to have been destroyed by a natural disaster.
And on the top of the mountain.
There was a strangely shaped rock.
It seemed to be imbued with the essence of heaven and earth, a gathering of the sun and moon's blessings.
Liu Chang Kong felt something in his heart. He walked slowly towards the stone and placed his hand on it.
In an instant.
He felt a surge of electricity through his body.
His head became clear in an instant.
Information poured in rapidly. He gained something new.
Liu Chang Kong kept his hand on the special stone.
Then he sat down slowly.
He could feel a certain intention spreading in his heart.
【Past and present lives are all intertwined. When intent is there, all things are possible. Congratulations to the host on awakening their true nature: Heaven-Destined One】
【Heaven's Mandate upon you, reflecting through reincarnation. The host is favored by the world's consciousness, receiving the unique trait: Clear the Turbid and Raise the Pure】
At that moment.
Liu Chang Kong quickly understood everything.
He was the so-called Heaven-Destined One!
This world was completely different from the one he imagined.
It wasn't the world of Journey to the West, or at least, not purely the world of Journey to the West.
This was the world of Black Myth: Wukong.
In this world, Sun Wukong was tricked and killed, his six senses taken by demons.
And the one who seemed to lead the charge was Yang Erlang.
He was now the Heaven-Destined One. If his teacher really was who he thought he was.
Then things could get tricky later.
“If I’m the Heaven-Destined One…”
Liu Chang Kong's mind cleared, and he pondered, "Then is that monkey still alive?"
This thought only flickered through his mind.
He didn't dwell on it too much.
Since he was born into this world, this identity didn't really matter.
All he had to do was survive well in this world.
He thought for a moment.
He was already checking his own traits.
Name: Liu Chang Kong

…
After clearly seeing all the traits.
Liu Chang Kong's eyes flashed with surprise.
Let's not talk about the Heaven-Destined One trait for now.
That unique Clear the Turbid and Raise the Pure trait was indeed ridiculously powerful.
This thing could continuously take other people’s traits.
And then strengthen himself.
This way he could achieve gathering water into a river, gathering sand into a tower.
It could allow him to rapidly grow stronger in a short period of time.
“I wonder if Master is really Yang Erlang.”
Liu Chang Kong thought this, then he turned around, “With this trait, I should be able to identify his identity. Perhaps I can even copy his traits.”
“You’re finally here!”
Just as Liu Chang Kong was about to go down the mountain and take a look.
A leisurely voice came from afar.
“吱吱!”
The sound of monkeys squawking echoed from afar.
In the mountain ravine not far away, an old monkey with a weathered face appeared.
