There was an isolated island in the sea. There was a perilous peak on the island, and there was an ordinary mountain rock on the peak.
Clouds and mist floated in the air, and waves surged in wave after wave.
Time passed quietly. Thousands of years, tens of thousands of years … passed like flowing water.
The deserted island was no longer barren. Instead, it gradually turned green. Grass and trees grew everywhere. Hundreds of birds flew in from the sea. All living things lived here, and monkeys jumped in the peach forest.
All of this was changing silently, slowly and unmoving. The deserted island's appearance had already changed greatly, turning into a mountain of flowers and fruits with birdsong and the fragrance of flowers.
The mountain rock stood on the nameless peak. It received the essence of heaven, earth, sun, and moon. After countless years of wind and rain, it gradually developed a muddled consciousness.
It had no eyes, nose, or ears … but it was born with spirituality. It sensed this strange and infinitely novel world, and a question about itself arose in its heart.
Who am I?
It was like a cool breeze blowing across a quiet lake, setting off faint ripples that spread out for a long time.
Its mind became active and had life.
It did not know the answer. It could only look at the sky, the sea, and the earth quietly, silently searching for the answer.
Another countless years passed. Suddenly, an idea popped up in its mind, and it asked its second question.
Where am I?
The wind and clouds gathered, and heaven and earth turned upside down. It was like the sun broke through the dark clouds and illuminated the road ahead.
The idea in its mind became more intense. Everything in the world became clearer, and it could sense everything.
This time, it did not take a long time.
It only took about thousands of years.
It asked the third and final question. Where do I come from?
It thought about its past.
Because it saw flowers growing from the ground, birds coming out of eggshells, and monkeys thriving in their mother's arms …
It thought about where did it come from?
The Heavenly Thunder roared and split the chaos. Clear and turbid separated heaven and earth, and everything became distinct.
Ever since he had decided on those three fateful questions, life seemed to have gained meaning.
The mountain rock had a heartbeat, and a divine fetus was born in its body. It had nine orifices and eight orifices, and it could truly feel everything.
It turned out that the wind was so gentle, the birds were so cheerful, and the flowers were so fragrant …
In the past, it only had a vague feeling. Now, it could truly feel the five senses.
A heart made of stone gained vitality. Blood poured into it, throbbing powerfully. An unprecedented new life was born just like that.
It was so curious that it couldn't stop feeling this brand new world.
However, it did not know how much time had passed. Time was truly too long. It could only remember the rising and setting of the sun, and the cycle repeated itself. In fact, it had even forgotten about time itself.
It saw the island, the sea, the clouds, the sky …
However, a thick layer of stone restricted it. Countless years had passed, but it had never moved a single step.
Sand piled up, and the mountain range continued to grow taller. It rose inch by inch every year, lifting its body up slowly.
It could see further and further.
It found itself on a lonely peak, surrounded by cliffs.
The mountain was an island, and the island was also a mountain.
Outside the island was a boundless ocean. There were whales leaping and seabirds chirping …
But it could not move!
Seeing that all living beings in the world could move freely, his heart was filled with rage.
Why?
It also wanted to be like those living beings, running freely in the vast world without any restraints.
It felt that it had never been alive before. It wanted to be alive!
However, its simple consciousness couldn't think of a solution.
Only its rage gradually settled down, turning into a baleful aura that filled its chest. It wanted nothing more than to break this damnable stone shell and turn the world upside down.
With baleful aura in its heart, it was unable to break free from the confinement.
It was unknown how many years had passed, but one day, a monkey came to the foot of the mountain.
This monkey was already very, very old. All the hair on its body had turned white, and its beard was so long that it touched the ground.
It could sense an intense deathly aura from this old monkey, but the fluctuations of its vitality were very strong, giving it a very contradictory feeling.
This was a living being called a monkey. It was often seen living in the peach forest, eating peaches as food every day. Usually, they only had a lifespan of ten years or so.
However, this old monkey was very different. It was really too old, so old that it felt that it would die at the next moment. However, it continued to persevere.
It had never seen such an old monkey before. It felt that this old monkey had lived for at least a hundred years.
How did it do it?
It felt extremely curious toward this old monkey.
How did he break his own destiny? It surpassed the limits of its lifespan.
It instinctively felt that if it could research this old monkey's secrets, it might be able to break this heavy stone shell and become a true lifeform.
At the next moment, it opened its eyes wide.
The moon was bright, and the stars were sparse.
The old monkey suddenly let out a long howl toward the sky. It stood on the lone peak, bathing in the stars.
Starlight gathered like rivers flowing into the sea, entering the old monkey's body through its white fur, strengthening its vitality.
For a time, the old monkey turned into a black hole, devouring all the moonlight in the surroundings. The world lost its color.
Devouring the essence of the sun and moon!
It comprehended this for some reason and sank into a wondrous state, unable to extricate itself for a very long time. It didn't even know that the old monkey had left silently after daybreak.
Although the old monkey never came again after that, it deeply remembered the old monkey's figure. It was engraved in its bones, and it would never be able to forget it.
It imitated the old monkey's movements and also started to devour the essence of the sun and moon.
The sun exploded, and the moon was cold.
Two types of light shone on its body, turning into a mysterious energy that circulated throughout its body.
It was overjoyed. It could clearly sense that the power in its body was getting stronger and its intelligence was getting sharper. If this continued, there would be a day when it would be able to break out of this damnable cage.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity had given it a new life.
The tides rose and fell, the sun rose and set.
Another ten million years passed by.
That white-bearded old monkey had long since turned into dust.
It continued to absorb the essence of the sun and moon every day, never stopping. Its heart gradually calmed down, accumulating power, and waiting for the day when it could break out from the stone.
However, on this day, a series of terrified screams rang out at the foot of the mountain. Monkey cries, tiger roars, bird cries … The huge mountain island was in chaos, and cries of terror could be heard everywhere.
It looked over in surprise, only to see red light soaring into the sky.
It was unknown when, but a red tide had risen from the distant horizon and soared into the sky. It swept over with great momentum, wanting to drown the world completely.
The world was overturned, and a stretch of red filled the sky. It was as if doomsday had arrived.
Wherever the red tide passed by, all living beings would be wiped out, and the plants would wither. The world that was brimming with vitality became a land of death.
On the mountain island, birds and beasts fled in all directions.
However, this was an isolated island. Where could they escape to?
Very soon, the red tide came ashore. Wherever it passed by, the birds and beasts were powerless to struggle and drowned, leaving behind only white bones.
For a time, the paradise on earth turned into hell on earth!
The red tide seemed endless, as if it was only heading for the mountain rocks on the dangerous mountain peak. Wave after wave, tide after tide, it was endless.
There was even a domineering will that invaded, wanting to wash away its will and completely replace it.
Its heart was in great pain, and it was instantly enraged. The boundless viciousness that had been suppressed in its heart was suddenly unleashed.
Damn it!
It couldn't break this stone shell, so this damned thing came to mess with its mind?
It was furious, irascible, stubborn … It wanted nothing more than to use its fists to break this damned stone shell and turn this world that had bound it upside down.
Its viciousness soared into the sky, suddenly erupting from its body. It was like a formless iron cudgel piercing into the sky, stirring up the winds and clouds.
The red tide seemed to have received a great shock, as if it had met its nemesis and started to retreat rapidly.
However, the viciousness in its heart had already risen. How could it let it go so easily?
It clenched its fists and fiercely smashed toward the tough stone shell before it.
I want the sky to no longer be able to cover my eyes.
I want this land to no longer be able to bury my heart.
…
Boom!
The world collapsed.
A golden light pillar soared into the clouds, and a majestic spirit force filled the world, causing the three realms to tremble.
A wild and arrogant voice rang out in the hearts of everyone. It was the joy of new life, the cry of life.
Heaven!
Earth!
Life!
Me!
Sun!
Comprehend!
Emptiness!
A thin and small stone monkey broke free from the cage. It looked at the red tide that was retreating in fear. It bared its teeth and suddenly opened its mouth to suck in a breath.
The boundless suction force turned the red tide into a red line and rapidly swallowed it into its body.
After that, the wind and smoke dissipated, and the world returned to peace.
Burp!
The stone monkey rubbed its round stomach. It was full!
However, for some reason, it lowered its head, feeling bewildered in its heart.
Why do I have a name? Why do I call myself Sun Wukong?
It sank into deep memories, as if it had recalled something, but it also seemed as if it had not remembered anything.
For a time, only its lonely figure was left standing in the vast world, sinking into endless melancholy.
Hu ~
The wind blew, and the world turned cold.
The world …
Became still!
…
Bang!
Feng Lin's eyes suddenly opened. It was like a flash of lightning in the sky, cutting through the darkness.
The stone shell on his body crumbled.
He stood up, breaking free from the cage. His entire body was different now.
The energy in his body was like erupting magma, gushing out in waves, unable to be suppressed. Even the air was distorted from the pressure, and the waves spread out in all directions.
The place where Feng Lin stood became a huge whirlpool that stirred up the void.
His body underwent a heaven-shaking transformation. His body grew taller, reaching a height of 1.98 meters.
The genes in his body kept on flashing.
Stone Monkey Gene + 1, + 1, + 1.
