Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

A day passed quickly, and early the next morning, all the forces of the Eastern Continent arrived at the Primordial Spirit Sect, entering the great hall within the sect.

Sun Wukong and Tang Qiang stood beside Mu Yin, the Sect Master of the Primordial Spirit Sect, watching coldly as Mu Yin exchanged pleasantries with the strong figures from various forces, secretly sneering in their hearts.

The major forces still didn't know Mu Yin's true purpose, still thinking that this gathering of heroes was just Mu Yin trying to redefine the power landscape of the entire Eastern Continent, which was laughably ignorant!

"Gathering everyone today is not to redefine power boundaries, but rather because I, Mu, have a matter concerning the life and death of the Yuan Realm to discuss with you all!"

After three rounds of drinks and five flavors of dishes, and after a long bout of pointless polite conversation, Mu Yin finally brought the topic back on track.

Sun Wukong's eyes glinted brightly, the main event had arrived!

"Not to redefine power boundaries? Then for what reason?"

"Sect Master Mu, what is it that you have gathered all the forces for, feel free to speak plainly!"

"Yes, Sect Master Mu, what exactly is this matter concerning the life and death of the Yuan Realm? Speak freely, so that we can all deliberate together!"

...

The strong figures from various forces didn't know what kind of scheme Mu Yin was up to, and seeing Mu Yin's serious expression, each of them felt quite curious, and they all began to inquire.

Mu Yin saw that he had stirred enough curiosity and coughed lightly before speaking, "Everyone, you've all probably heard the term Era's Destruction, right?"

"Era's Destruction?"

The color of faces changed instantly, and someone asked, "Sect Master Mu, why bring up Era's Destruction out of the blue, could it be that you know when it occurs?"

The individuals present were all strong figures from various forces, and they naturally knew what Era's Destruction represented. They just hadn't expected Mu Yin to bring it up at this time, and intuition told them Mu Yin likely knew something!

"Indeed, I do know the specific time of Era's Destruction! It will be in three thousand years!"

Mu Yin said solemnly, and with his words, the expressions of all the strong figures present changed.

"Three thousand years? Can't be?"

"Only three thousand years left! How could it be so sudden?"

"Sect Master Mu, how do you know the specific time of Era's Destruction? Isn't it said that only someone with the pinnacle Domain Saint Realm cultivation can sense the timing of Era's Destruction?"

The individuals started discussing, and suddenly someone questioned Mu Yin. Mu Yin currently only radiated the aura of a middle-stage Domain Saint Realm cultivator, so how could he know that Era's Destruction would occur in three thousand years?

"Correct! Indeed, only those with the pinnacle Domain Saint Realm cultivation can sense the timing of Era's Destruction!

Mu Yin nodded, then his aura abruptly changed. Terrifying power surged out from him like ripples of water, "Because I am originally at the pinnacle Domain Saint Realm!"

Mu Yin's cultivation began to rise visibly, from middle-stage Domain Saint Realm, to late-stage Domain Saint Realm, to the pinnacle Domain Saint Realm!

The aura on him finally stabilized at the pinnacle Domain Saint Realm, and the outward power, like a tide, all retracted into his body, but the presence he radiated had become wholly different.

The strong figures from various forces, eyes wide with disbelief, watched this scene. How could Mu Yin elevate his cultivation to the pinnacle of Domain Saint Realm in such a short time?

Yet all this unfolded right before their eyes, leaving them no choice but to believe! There was only one possibility for Mu Yin to achieve this, that he originally was a pinnacle Domain Saint Realm expert!

This old fellow had hidden so deeply, his calculations so inscrutable, it was truly frightening!

The strong figures from various forces all looked at Mu Yin differently, their gazes filled with apprehension. A mid-stage Domain Saint Realm expert was indeed formidable, but they needn't fear, as among them were also Domain Saint Realm experts.

But a pinnacle Domain Saint Realm expert was different, standing at the very pinnacle of the Yuan Realm's power, with cultivation already at its peak in the Yuan Realm!

Such an expert emerges only a few times in an Era, most geniuses find their cultivation growth almost stagnant after reaching the Domain Saint Realm, becoming extremely slow.

In the current Yuan Realm, experts at the pinnacle Domain Saint Realm barely number more than a handful!

What on earth was Mu Yin, this old fox, hiding for so long?

"Now, do you all believe the words of this seat? Three thousand years from now is the day when this Era completely ends. When the day of Era's Destruction arrives, all living beings in the Yuan Realm will return to dust, and everything will begin anew!"

Mu Yin cast a glance over the strong figures from various forces and spoke solemnly.

"Return to dust, return to earth…"

"Indeed, when Era's Destruction arrives, no one can escape! What to do, what is there to do? How can it be only three thousand short years left?"

"I haven't lived enough yet, I don't want to die!"

...

With Mu Yin's words, everyone was suddenly awakened. Since Mu Yin was indeed a pinnacle Domain Saint Realm expert, if he said he sensed Era's Destruction would occur in three thousand years, then it was most likely true!

Darn it, why hadn't any of the other pinnacle Domain Saint Realm experts in the Yuan Realm let slip even a word, could they have not sensed the timing of Era's Destruction, and only the Sect Master of the Primordial Spirit Sect, Mu Yin, had sensed it?

"I know what you are doubting, but I don't want to overexplain. In any case, I indeed sensed the specific time of Era's Destruction, and I've confirmed it in other ways, this timing is absolutely correct!"

Mu Yin swept his gaze over them and gave a cold smile, "The reason I've gathered you here for this gathering of heroes is to tell you the specific time of Era's Destruction, and more importantly, to discuss with you how to respond to the Era's Destruction three thousand years from now?"

"How to respond? How can it be responded to? If there was a way to respond to Era's Destruction, the Ancient Heavenly Court wouldn't have perished!"

"From ancient times to present, no one has ever been heard of surviving Era's Destruction! Sect Master Mu, what do you mean exactly, do you have a way to safely get through Era's Destruction?"

The Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Dao Sect inquired, eyes glinting with Divine Light, believing Mu Yin wouldn't just gather them to discuss at this gathering of heroes, that wasn't Mu Yin's style!

Since Mu Yin had hidden his pinnacle Domain Saint Realm cultivation for so long and gathered the strong figures from various forces to the Primordial Spirit Sect, it would not be simply for consultation, he surely already had a countermeasure!
