“Finally refined it.”
Inside the secluded cave, Qi Tian let out a long breath.
He hadn't expected that refining the “Eye of Delight” would take a full half-month.
If the Six Roots were like in the game, where you could just equip them and use them, how nice would that be?
Although refining the “Eye of Delight” took quite some time, the results were incredibly rewarding.
His current cultivation had gone from Refining Essence to Refining Qi to Refining Spirit.
This cultivation speed could be called terrifying.
Qi Tian even suspected that if he collected all six Roots, refining them would directly elevate him to immortality.
Perhaps five Roots would be enough.
In the plot, those destined to collect five Roots could fight Erlang Shen.
While Erlang Shen was likely letting them win, defeating Erlang Shen who was letting them win wasn’t something just anyone could do.
“Aside from cultivation, I also have the Fire Eyes of the Golden Monkey.
“And it's the version that isn't afraid of smoke.”
As he spoke, a golden light emanated from Qi Tian's eyes, piercing straight through the cave and revealing the scene outside with perfect clarity.
Although it wasn't the original version, Qi Tian was already content.
【Congratulations to group member “Supreme Treasure” for breaking his predetermined destiny and embarking on a new life. You are now granted administrator privileges】
“Huh?”
“Supreme Treasure that guy became an administrator?”
Qi Tian raised an eyebrow.
Before, Supreme Treasure desperately wanted to become an administrator, but failed.
He hadn't mentioned it again, but now the chat group suddenly gave him the position of administrator.
The reason was breaking his predetermined destiny, which was quite interesting.
“Let's go take a look.”
【Supreme Treasure: Holy crap, I actually became an administrator?】
【Monkey King: Congratulations, congratulations, we have another administrator in the group.】
【Little Monkey: Congratulations, Supreme Treasure.】
【Little Monkey: Your dream of becoming an administrator finally came true.】
At this time, Qi Tian naturally wouldn't say anything unpleasant and joined in with the congratulations.
After congratulating him, Qi Tian asked about the real matter.
【Qi Tian: Supreme Treasure, have you recovered the power that belongs to Sun Wukong?】
【Supreme Treasure: That's right, it just happened.】
Regarding this, Supreme Treasure was also baffled. He had been eating peaches and sipping elixir for the past half-month, and as he recovered his power, the memories of Sun Wukong returned.
Today, he finally regained all his power and memories, and then the chat group popped up a message saying he became an administrator.
He was truly happy, but also truly baffled.
【Monkey King: Since breaking your predetermined destiny can make you an administrator, why didn't the chat group announce it during the task settlement, but had to wait until now?】
They had already changed Supreme Treasure's destiny of wearing the Golden Hoop and becoming Sun Wukong. Logically, even if they sent a message, it should have been then, right?
【Qi Tian: Perhaps because Supreme Treasure hadn't become Sun Wukong at that time?】
【Qi Tian: Or maybe the chat group's mechanism wasn't perfect yet.】
Didn't he and Monkey King give the chat group some suggestions, and then it upgraded and improved?
The reason it took so long to send the message might be that the chat group was secretly upgrading behind the scenes.
【Little Monkey: Why think so much about it? We have one more way to become an administrator now, isn't that better?】
【Qi Tian: You're right, but was Supreme Treasure's predetermined destiny to wear the Golden Hoop or to go on the Pilgrimage to the West?】
【Qi Tian: If it was the Pilgrimage to the West, then probably eighty percent of Sun Wukongs would have that destiny.】
Before Qi Tian transmigrated, almost ninety percent of the works about Sun Wukong were adapted from Wu Cheng'en's Journey to the West.
And adaptation didn't mean a complete overthrow. Most authors would make changes to the main storyline of the Pilgrimage to the West, even going so far as to drastically change it.
But few people directly abandoned the Pilgrimage to the West storyline.
Following the original plot was convenient and saved countless brain cells.
Why not do it?
This was still in novels, where authors could change it however they wanted.
For movies and anime that were aimed at the entire country, then the Pilgrimage to the West was undoubtedly the main storyline.
If the Pilgrimage to the West truly was the destiny of all Sun Wukongs, then besides a few exceptions, there really wouldn't be anyone who could break that destiny.
【Monkey King: Why think so much about it?】
【Monkey King: Having one more way to become an administrator is always a good thing.】
【Monkey King: Let the people who join later worry about those things.】
【Little Monkey: Peach Brother is right, the chat group didn't even give a specific method for becoming an administrator, so we can only slowly figure it out.】
【Little Monkey: Having two methods now is already pretty good.】
Qi Tian didn't really care about this, since he was already an administrator.
Whether others became administrators didn't really matter to him.
So he was thinking about something else.
He had previously said in the group that he would go to Monkey King's world to meet him. Now that Supreme Treasure's matter was settled, it was about time to go.
Although he had met Monkey King in Supreme Treasure's world, at that time he was busy dealing with Supreme Treasure's affairs.
Besides, Monkey King only came as a monkey hair avatar, so it didn't count as a formal meeting.
【Qi Tian: @Supreme Treasure, you should be free now, right?】
【Supreme Treasure: I'm fine, I don't have to go on the Pilgrimage to the West now, I actually find it a bit boring.】
【Qi Tian: If you're free, go meet Peach Brother.】
【Supreme Treasure: Okay, let me get some food.】
【Supreme Treasure: Peach Brother, do you eat meat? If you do, I'll bring some over.】
【Monkey King：……I don't eat meat.】
【Supreme Treasure: It's okay, you can just eat fruit and watch us eat meat, hehe.】
Monkey King: Sometimes I really want to give this jerk a good beating.
