Xiao Jie and the other two exchanged glances.
"What do you an?" Couldn’t help but ask "I am the Farr," "Weren’t you chosen by the Saint to save the world?"
The Three Demons didn’t hide anything, looked at each other, and finally, the Fallen Heaven Demon Monarch Zhao Yu spoke, recounting the events that had unfolded before.
It turns out that the Three Demons and the three characters from "Journey to the West" are not exactly the sa, but they do share quite a few similarities—especially when it cos to "acting as traitors."
All three demons once served the Heavenly Court, yet none of them fared well. The Chaos Demon Ape Sun Xiaotian had nurous battle achievents but was never accepted by the orthodox Heavenly Court due to his chaotic origin and untad nature, only used as cannon fodder; the Fallen Heaven Demon Monarch Zhao Yu, being a son of the Heavenly Emperor, faced severe discrimination due to his half-demon blood, honored with the title of War God yet deprived of rightful authority; the Destructive Demon Child Li Xiaoyi had it the worst, deed a harbinger of disaster since birth, shunned by everyone.
Despite their many achievents, they received pitifully few rewards. Moreover, each of the three was more ambitious than the other, and over ti, their grievances deepened.
Eventually, the three brothers conspired, resolved with determination: this dilapidated Heavenly Court, this rotten world, no need for them! Let’s destroy it and create a new world! We’ll be the Heavenly Emperor and the Saints ourselves.
However, despite their great mana, the three lacked theoretical knowledge on "how to destroy the world"—destroying a mountain or a river is easy, but reshaping the earth, water, wind, and fire, and recreating the world is another matter entirely.
Fortunately, their luck ran high as they encountered the once-in-millennia "All Heavens and Worlds Pilgrimage Feast," held at the change of eras, inviting all Saints, Taoist Ancestors, and God King Level figures from all heavens and worlds—
They had their eyes on the Tongtian Saint heading to the feast.
"That old guy appeared solemn but was actually quite a drinker," Sun Xiaotian recalled, a glint of pride in his eyes, "We took turns toasting him, got him utterly inebriated, and then extracted so information from him."
Li Xiaoyi, grinning mischievously, added, "Little master even spiked his drink with so goodies sneaked from Doushuai Temple, supposedly irresistible to even a Saint."
Zhao Yu sighed, obviously a bit speechless at his two teammates still smug at this ti.
"Then he ’spoke the True Words’ in his drunkenness. He told us that to destroy and recreate the world, we need to gather three Innate Treasures born at the world’s inception: the Qiankun Map, the Chaos Pearl, and the Four Symbols Divine Cauldron. Only when these three Magic Treasures are activated together can the universe return to chaos, reenact the earth, water, wind, and fire, creating a new world."
"And we actually believed it," Sun Xiaotian grinned toothily, spreading his hands, "Then we put in a nine-bull-two-tiger effort and actually stole these three treasures—hey, you have no idea how tough it was! The Qiankun Map was hidden in the deepest forbidden ground of the Yu Xu Palace, the Chaos Pearl at the bottom of the Creation Lotus Pond in the Purple Cloud Palace, and the Four Symbols Divine Cauldron, unbelievably, used as an incense burner in the Wa Huang Palace!"
"And what happened?" Xiao Jie had already guessed the outco.
"We found out the damn thing was unusable!" Li Xiaoyi stomped his foot angrily, "Only Saints have the power to utilize the true functions of the Innate Treasures! We, as Daluo Golden Immortals, could only barely use the basic functions of the treasures!"
Zhao Yu smiled bitterly, "Then the Heavenly Court discovered what we were up to. The Heavenly Emperor led the Thirty-Six Main Gods and the Seventy-two Star Lords to trap us. We resisted fiercely, shattered half of the Heavenly Court, but in the end, we were captured."
"After that, we got tossed into this damn place," Sun Xiaotian tapped the ground with his Iron Rod, looking disgruntled, "Locked up for... tch, how many years has it been? Ti in this amber is all ssed up."
After listening, Xiao Jie’s heart stirred.
He glanced at Emperor Shitian and "I am the Farr," seeing the sa confusion in their eyes.
If these Three Demons truly were just "failed would-be destroyers of the world," why did the Tongtian Saint specifically direct them here to save the world?
No way! These three didn’t simply want to destroy the world; they aid to return the universe to chaos, reenact the earth, water, wind, and fire, and create a new world.
Could it be... Xiao Jie’s eyes lit up, he seed to... have a hint of understanding of Tongtian Saint’s intentions.
"Wait a minute," Xiao Jie suddenly spoke, gazing sharply at the Three Demons, "The three Innate Treasures you stole—the Qiankun Map, the Chaos Pearl, and the Four Symbols Divine Cauldron—where are they now?"
