Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 770 Political Review from Erlang Shen

【Erlang Shen: Original supporting character template, the template blueprint comes from "Black Myth: Wukong", handsome and dressed in yellow, with immense strength and boundless magic power. He is proficient in the Eight or Nine Arcane Arts, has divine eyes in his forehead, wields a three-pointed double-edged sword, and has dogs, eagles, and horses as pets. He has a wide range of divine duties and commands heavenly soldiers and generals. However, he is also known for being disobedient and not following orders. He is one of the three great traitors of the Heavenly Court.

When you successfully load the "Erlang Manifests as a True Lord" template—

You will simultaneously receive the template weapons "Three-Pointed Double-Edged Sword" and "Mountain-Splitting Axe".

You will simultaneously receive the template talent 'Heavenly Eye'.

You will simultaneously acquire the template skills 'Divine Guardian', 'Sword Sweeping Mountains and Rivers', 'Splitting Peaks and Shattering Mountains', and 'Law of Heaven and Earth'.

There is a 120-minute cooldown period for loading and unloading this character template.

Due to the unique nature of this template's origin, you need to defeat the final boss of the final level in "Journey to the West: The Legend of the Monkey King" before you can perform a formal settlement.

[Additional comment: You little monkey...you really make me happy!]

Before even entering the instance, Cheng Tian had a vague feeling that his journey through the Journey to the West-related instance might very well be connected to the third eye on his forehead.

Since Hiei from Yu Yu Hakusho has already been loaded, it's highly likely that he won't be involved anymore, but there are still quite a few other three-eyed characters.

He considered that it might be Tien Shinhan from "Dragon Ball," or Sharaku Hosuke from "Three-Eyed Boy," and he even guessed that it might be Prince Godal, who was also from the ancient Three-Eyed Clan. These characters all drew inspiration from Jiro Wangji to some extent.

But Cheng never considered the possibility of becoming a regular army!
And it actually happened! Moreover, it was Yang Jian from the Black Myth who contributed a series of masculine remarks such as "Monkey is happy," "I think of you every day after you left," and "Little monkey, you really do have some of his shadow."

It was precisely because of this template that Cheng Tian suddenly felt quite confident about the Tongtian River water battle, which he had originally been quite wary of.

Even though Erlang Shen in Black Myth is limited by the game's system and can only display the maximum power given in the game, Cheng Tian believes that he should be able to pass the game with just a single template and auxiliary items.

However, when the talent was triggered and the template was obtained, Cheng Tian did not equip it immediately. The reason was simple: the Erlang Shen from Journey to the West was still there.

The level progression of "Journey to the West: The Legend of the Monkey King" basically follows the journey to the West in the novel, but the intensity of the monsters has been increased, there is less human relationships and more fighting and killing, and the overall tone is dark.

However, at the same time, it also leaves a lot of room for expansion in the game.

Although Erlang Shen did not appear in any form in this game, he officially appeared as a playable character in the sequel, Journey to the West: The Legend of the Monkey King 2.

Even though the character's performance is not outstanding compared to others, it still represents the real existence of Erlang Shen.

As for the official deities involved, Cheng Tian was certain that his loading of this Erlang Shen template from another world would inevitably be perceived by the Erlang Shen of this world.

Cheng Tian already had experience in this regard in the previous "Branded Knight" instance, where he, having obtained the legacy of Knight Arthur, resonated with the bearded King Arthur.

The variables brought about by his own loading were almost unpredictable. But Cheng Tian put that thought out of his mind not long after leaving Chenjiazhuang.

No other reason than I couldn't hold back any longer!
Honestly, they've reached their limit by enduring this long, after all, this is the template for Erlang Shen!

As the template was officially loaded, Cheng Tian's Taiji True Eyes began to change dramatically, almost uncontrollably, and his aura also changed drastically.

If the original Cheng Tian was merely a drop of clear water that could blend into this world because of the space implanted in his identity background, then at this moment, Cheng Tian has already exuded the unique aura of a local deity.

It transcends the realm of divine intervention and almost reaches the level of a divine manifestation.

With this loading, the Tongtian River water, which had originally blocked Cheng Tian's mental scan, instantly turned into ordinary river water. Everything at the bottom of the river was seen by Cheng Tian, ​​whose eyes were closed but whose Heavenly Eyes were bright.

A large number of river monsters and minions whose transformations were clearly incomplete, while maintaining humanoid torsos and limbs, also retained many of their original characteristics. A small number of river monster leaders and elites with fewer animal features and more complete humanoid forms couldn't help but look up and around. This sudden feeling of transparency made them very uneasy.

Not only these small fish, but also the two families most valued by the Great King of Inspiration, the Sea Urchin King family and the Great Water Monster family, were all restless.

As for Linggan Dawang himself, whose true form is a goldfish spirit, his strength, status, background, and knowledge far surpass those of his river creatures. Therefore, he was able to further perceive the power contained in that clear gaze... This made him even more uneasy than his subordinates!

As a goldfish in the lotus pond of Mount Putuo in the South China Sea, Linggan Dawang cultivated into a spirit after listening to Guanyin Bodhisattva preach every day. He then descended to the mortal world to wreak havoc, and his strength was indeed remarkable. However, in essence, he was just Guanyin's "domestic pet." Linggan Dawang knew almost nothing about the Heavenly Court or the pilgrims. He even heard about the name of Monkey King from someone else.

He could instinctively sense the power contained within the Heavenly Eye, but he couldn't explain why.

Perhaps this sounds like a slight towards fish, but Cheng Tian loading the Erlang Shen template and preparing to deal with the Great King of Inspiration, if placed in Journey to the West, would be like using a gentle breeze to swatt a mosquito.

Of course, Cheng Tianshuang immediately paid a "price" for opening his third eye.

He noticed an extremely peculiar gaze fixed on him, scanning him from head to toe as if he were being fully scoured.

Your act of loading and using template capabilities has successfully attracted the attention of "Erlang Shen" (a deity in Chinese mythology).

Erlang Shen is testing whether you are qualified to use the "Interdimensional Avatar" technique.

[Killing activity approved.]

After investigation, it was found that your past actions of slaughtering demons from all sides had been approved by Erlang Shen, the enforcer of the Heavenly Court. Therefore, Erlang Shen tacitly approved your use of his "alternate dimension counterpart incarnation".

However, it's important to note that as long as you maintain the "Erlang Shen Manifests His Holy Spirit" template, all your actions in the mortal realm must conform to Erlang Shen's "Heavenly Special Police" characteristics. Any actions exceeding the limits of your status or violating the principles of your true nature may provoke Erlang Shen's personal intervention and punishment.
