Chapter 671: Truth and Lies, The World Remains but People Have Been Changed!

The Curtain-Lifting General!

Jiang Feng had met him once during the Uproar in the Heavenly Palace.

He used his Lapis Lamp to block his staff in order to save the Queen Mother. But in the end, the Lapis Lamp was shattered, and the Queen Mother was killed.

He was a loyal man.

Originally, he thought that the River of Drifting Sands was just going to be a point of interest in Dragonquarry and it would be different from the Journey of the West. He did not expect that there would be a Sha Wujing here.

When the Curtain-Lifting General heard what Jiang Feng was saying, his body shook as his eyes became spirited. “How do you know me?”

Jiang Feng took out Deicide in its staff form and held it in his hand, and said, “Still remember this staff?”

When he saw the Deicide in his hand, the Curtain-Lifting General seemed to have remembered something as even his eyes began to ripple in excitement. “You… You are Sun Wukong?”

Jiang Feng rolled his eyes and shook his head.

“I am the Shifter Emperor!”

When the Curtain-Lifting General looked at Jiang Feng, he suddenly choked up.

What happened back in the Divine Dominion Continent replayed in his mind.

When Sun Wukong and Jiang Feng fought in the Heavenly Palace, he threw the Lapis Lantern in order to protect the Queen Mother.

What he did not expect was that after he died and ended up in Dragonquarry, not only was the Queen Mother not grateful toward him, she even punished him for damaging the Lapis Lantern.

He was thrown out of the Heavenly Palace and imprisoned within the River of Drifting Sands.

When he remembered that, he became extremely hateful of Sun Wukong and Jiang Feng.

If it was not because of them both, he would still be the Curtain-Lifting General and living a life of boredom.

But when he actually saw Jiang Feng again, not only did he not hate him anymore, a complicated emotion arose within him.

While he ended up like this because of Jiang Feng and Sun Wukong, his life right now was much better than his life back in the Heavenly Palace.

There was no need for him to lift the curtains every day. No need for him to look at the scowls of the other gods. No need to live so carefully.

Looking at the Curtain-Lifting General being somewhat overcome with emotions, Jiang Feng decided to say something despite not knowing the reason why, “I know, you hate Sun Wukong and me. But there is something you must know. If I’m correct, at this time, there is someone that looks exactly like you doing what you were doing in the Heavenly Palace. The Heavenly Palace is no longer the Heavenly Palace in the past. The current Heavenly Palace is just Tathagata’s tool!”

“What do you mean?” The curtain-lifting general asked Jiang Feng.

“Tathagata is not the real Tathagata. The Heavenly Palace is no longer the Heavenly Palace. All the gods are gone, replaced by a new generation of gods. The truth is in the lies. The world remains but those within it have been changed!” Jiang Feng finished saying that and then continued heading deeper down into the River of Drifting Sands, leaving behind the Curtain-Lifting General with his own lonely thoughts!

Once he saw what happened to the Curtain-Lifting General, he could already imagine what happened to the other gods of the past.

He then remembered all the little monks in Tathagata’s microworld. He knew that all the gods in Dragonquarry’s Heaven Palace were fake, and so were most of the buddhas in the Great Leiyin Temple.

The gods and buddhas were all but Tathagata’s pawns. They could be easily killed and destroyed. Those who surrendered to him would prosper, while those that opposed him would be eradicated. After killing them, all he needed was some effort to create a pawn that looked exactly like them.

And then, the gods and the buddhas would be easier for him to manage.

His guess was that the Uproar in Heaven back on the Divine Dominion Continent was directed by Tathagata.

If that was true, then Tathagata was simply too terrifying.

“Huff…”

The moment he thought of that, Jiang Feng could not help but gasp. He could feel the enormous pressure on him.

All the players in the Divines faction believed in the Heavenly Palace. That meant that by seizing control of the Heavenly Palace, he would then have control over all the players in the Divines faction.

Once the Great Divine-Infernal War erupted, the Shifters faction and Infernals faction would be beaten to submission. Without absolute power, they could not even fight back.

After that, the Shifters and Infernals factions would both submit to the Buddhas and the Divines. And in the history of the Divine Dominion, most of the highlights would be on the contributors from the Buddhas and Divines. Meanwhile, the Shifters and Infernals faction would slowly be forgotten.

Boom!

Just as he was thinking of a way to deal with Tathagata’s faction, an explosion came from the surface of the River of Drifting Sands.

Jiang Feng looked up with a frown, and he quickly used his Dimension Door skill to quickly head down to the Bottomless Pit.

After three minutes, he had finally reached the Bottomless Pit.

The Bottomless Pit on Dragonquarry was being held under a giant golden turtle. The entrance was right under the golden turtle.

The golden turtle was still alive, and it was very powerful.

Heaven-Linked Golden Turtle: Divine Saint

Stats: ????

With his current power, he could not beat the golden turtle.

In order to get through the seal and enter the Bottomless Pit, he would either need the golden turtle to give way or use some special way to enter.

“Senior, I would like to enter the Bottomless Pit!” Jiang Feng said to the giant golden turtle in front of him.

If the golden turtle was willing to move, he could then easily cross the seal. But if the golden turtle was blocking right on top of the Bottomless Pit, it would be a bit problematic to make his way in.

When the Heaven-Linked Golden Turtle heard Jiang Feng’s voice, it opened its eyes and then said one word. “Scram!”

Sh*t!

He said it so politely, and he only managed to get this word in response. This caused him to get angry.

Just as he was about to use the Demesne of Time and Demesne of Space to force his way in, he suddenly felt something so he looked up.

Not far away from where he was, he saw Guanyin with a golden wheel behind her head slowly descending upon him.

“No! How did she reach this place so quickly!” When he saw that, his face paled as he waved his hand and the Demesne of Time appeared around him.

Just as he was about to use his Chrono Recall ability to escape, Guanyin extended her hand and said to him, “Shifter Emperor, do not be afraid. I am not here to catch you!”

When he heard Guanyin’s words, he was slightly shocked and stopped his movements. He then stared straight into Guanyin’s eyes.

At this time, Guanyin showed no hostility at all. Instead, she had on a soft and warm smile.

He asked her curiously, “Are you Guanyin?”

The current Guanyin was slightly different from the Guanyin that he met before. He was not sure if this Guanyin was the real Guanyin.

Guanyin gave him a soft smile. “Do not worry. I am indeed Guanyin. Because of the Bottomless Pit under the River of Drifting Sands, Tathagata cannot sense this place.”

After saying so, she then looked at the Heaven-Link Golden Turtle and asked, “Senior Tongtian, can you please let us through and into the Bottomless Pit?”

The Heaven-link nodded and then moved its body obediently.

Next, Guanyin waved her hand and a curtain of light covered Jiang Feng, bringing him into the Bottomless Pit while ignoring the seal.

Once inside the Bottomless Pit, Guanyin’s expression became serious as she said to Jiang Feng, “You should have somehow noticed that the current Tathagata is fake, correct?”

Jiang Feng nodded.

“Tathagata created nine microworlds within Divine Dominion. Within these microworlds, he cultivated gods and buddhas. Many of the Buddhas within Leiyin Temple are being replaced, and all the gods within the Heavenly Palace are all his marionettes. Unfortunately, I am too weak, and I am not his match. If not, I would have removed him a long time ago.”

“When you saw me in the past, it was all just a show for Tathagata. Now, only you can kill him. I hope that you will live on, and return light into this world!” Guanyin said to Jiang Feng.

“What should I do?” What Guanyin said to him were things he already knew. But he still did not know how to kill Tathagata. Since Guanyin was not being controlled by Tathagata, then she must have thought of a strategy against Tathagata.
