127 Mythological Will (2/2)
Based on the never-ending conjecture toward myths and legends, when the characters became extremely strong and said to have reached the level of paragon-phase gods and devils, even their existence itself would have taken on a transcendent characteristic, becoming the embodiment of some kind of power. Each paragon-phase gods and devils were unique in the world, being irreplaceable.
Their bodies, souls, memories... had all become one, forming an undying and indestructible mythological will that could change the world.
Even if they were to turn into dust, as long as they had one last breath left in them, they would be able to recover if they were to encounter the right opportunity.
As an unrivaled battle god in Huaxia's myths and legends, Feng Lin would definitely not believe that Sun Wukong hadn't left behind any of its mythological will at all.
At the thought of this, he was struck by comprehension.
Although the Stone Monkey Gene was only a Primeval Gene, it was Sun Wukong's starting point after all. Therefore, it would naturally have a bit of Sun Wukong's mythological will left in it.
Although there was very little, it still wasn't something which the cells in the God's Blood could fight against.
The Great Sage Will had initially been in a deep incubation period. If Feng Lin were to rely on himself to awaken it, he would have no idea how long he would take.
However, the cells in the God's Blood had looked for their own trouble and challenged it, waking up the Great Sage Will. They ended up in a pathetic state while Feng Lin got the better end of this.
Feng Lin understood that mythological inheritance wasn't as simple as just being mythological memories. It also included mythological will within.
From Nuwa mending the heavens, Houyi shooting down the suns, Kua Fu chasing the sun, Yugong moving the mountain...
These characters from myths and legends slowly grew into the paragon-phase step by step until they reached the peak, standing above all other living creatures. The paths they had taken were extremely rugged and when they eventually reached the very top, they reached a magnificent scale that was beyond people's expectations.
When mighty force was attributed to a single body, it was possible to shake the sun and the moon, move mountains and rivers, and change the heaven and earth...
There was no one that was born as a sacred being, and thus they had the spirit to constantly strive to become stronger.
Their will that allowed them to be put through the mill without their wills destroyed even at the point of their death was very moving.
If one was able to experience such mythological will, sensing the spirit of ancient gods and devils, they would definitely be able to firm up their hearts and become unwavering, cutting off all restrictions.
This was how things were for Feng Lin now. All the terror, bewilderment, and perplexity that he had felt in the past had now been swept clean. It was as if his heart had been cleansed of all dust, completely purified in-and-out, just like crystals.
There was no Bodhi tree, nor was there a mirror.
Originally, there is not a single thing, so where does dust alight?
He sensed Sun Wukong's powerful never-yielding spirit.
A stone was a lifeless object, yet a living flesh and blood could be born from it. How massive of a will was required to achieve this?
Thousands of words welled up, turning into one sentence. That was...
Heaven and Earth give birth to me, Sun Wukong!
Sun Wukong had a powerful physical body that was indestructible, reaching the limits of material items.
It was also called Heart Monkey [2], with a strong spirit that could shake the three realms, capable of taking on various forms, and even the power of its idealism was also at a great extreme.
Sun Wukong had been the product of the two universe's regulations—materialism and idealism—and contained the universe's deep profoundness. The fact that it was born was already a miracle and it had unlimited potential. It was also a matter of course that it was able to become a paragon-phase god thereafter. However, it could be that the Buddha's interference had unknowingly cut off its future.
Regardless, to the current Feng Lin, to be able to take on the path of Sun Wukong was definitely a great matter worth celebrating.
Through this fortunate encounter, Feng Lin's comprehension of the genetic formula became deeper.
Although the genetic formula was very simple, each part of it entered deep into the intrinsics of the cultivation path of myths and legends, having the most mysterious profoundness.
The Stone Monkey Gene was a materialistic gene, capable of strengthening the body, making it impenetrable by blades and spears, and impervious to fire and water. It used materialism to shake the world.
The Spirit Gene was an idealistic gene. Invisible spiritual powers could guide the universe's energies, using idealism to change everything.
Without a mighty spirit, it would be impossible for a monkey to be born from a stone.
...
A deep feeling of comprehension filled up Feng Lin's heart.
”Target has recovered life signals. Wipe him out completely!” A cold killing intent was emitted.
Feng Lin cast his glance in that direction and saw a burly figure that was like a small mountain pouncing toward him.
The scorching light that shot out from his only eye had an extremely high temperature, slicing through everything.
The glass cabin was instantly split into two. The figure shot out toward Feng Lin, wanting to slash him up into fragments.
Buzz!
The void tremored.
Feng Lin's eyes burst out in light, and invisible waves extended out from his forehead.
The surrounding air amassed together by the pull of an invisible force, condensing and seemingly taking on a material form. They eventually condensed to form a material mirror.
Boom!
The light was distorted by the mirror and instantly deflected back, hitting the titan fiercely, causing it to cry out in pain.
Feng Lin leaped up and an aura that seemed like he was looking down upon the rest of the world surged in his body. It was as if the Great Sage Equal to Heavens from the myths and legends had returned to the mortal world.
He had been beaten up so badly previously, and it was time to retaliate!
The Great Sage didn't die but had just arrived late.
Right now...
The Great Sage had returned!
