Major plot changes: The main storyline of Journey to the West: The Legend of Wukong has completely collapsed, the "Heavenly Court" area has been opened, officially introducing the two major forces of "Heavenly Court" and "Spirit Mountain", and leading to the launch of the Great Expedition quest for the "Black Myth: Wukong" dungeon.

Task completion rate: 180%; Scene exploration rate: 150%; Dungeon settlement rating: SS.

Dungeon settlement rewards: 30 Celestial Coins (bounty settlement) + 1.5 (Sea Urchin King, team kill) + 5 (Big Water Monster, team kill) + 38.5 (Goldfish Spirit) = 2, 18 free attribute points, 6 free skill points, and 2 golden skill points.

Your experience with "Journey to the West: The Legend of the Monkey King" has overwritten your previous save file and has been marked as a completed save file.

When you start the "Heavenly Punishment" Grand Expedition and head to the "Black Myth: Wukong" dungeon, the new save file will be started by inheriting your save data from the "Journey to the West: The Legend of the Monkey King".

You will immediately return to the Chosen Ones.

[Due to the plot twists and premature ending of "Journey to the West: The Legend of the Monkey King," the "Game Masters" are now settling accounts.]

[It has been detected that some of the talent skills of "Erlang Shen/Yang Jian" are highly compatible with your own abilities, and your final rewards will be improved.]

You have obtained the template weapon "Mountain-Splitting Axe" and the template skill "Divine Guardian" for "Erlang Manifests True Lord" through settlement.

Your personal talent "Tai Chi True Eye" has been merged and upgraded with the template talent "Heavenly Eye". It is currently an A-level talent "Tai Chi Heavenly Eye".

Your bloodline-derived ability 'Behemoth Transformation' has been merged and overwritten by the template skill 'Heaven and Earth Manifestations', permanently transforming into 'Heaven and Earth Manifestations'.

When using "Golden Capital Key: All-Out Attack," "Heart Crystal," "Silver Surfboard Wingman," "Arthur's Proof Phantom Sword," or "Arthur's Proof Knight's Throw," there is a small chance to trigger the "Sword Sweeping the Mountains and Rivers" special effect.

Based on the unique nature of your and Erlang Shen's templates, and the locked coordinates of the upcoming "Heavenly Punishment" Grand Expedition quest, you and Erlang Shen will still maintain a certain connection.

Under the silver light, the world of Journey to the West: The Legend of the Monkey King, which had been bypassed by Cheng using a bug, came to a standstill. Cheng himself and all the other players disappeared from the instance, waiting for Cheng Tian to officially launch the "Heavenly Punishment" Grand Expedition.

Logically speaking, given the strength of the Erlang Shen template, simply defeating the goldfish demon of the Tongtian River and subduing the three immortals of Chechi Kingdom wouldn't be enough to justify the template's official settlement. However, Cheng Tian has effectively forced the termination of the Journey to the West: The Legend of the Monkey King's Creation, so the final boss, which should have been linked to the template's settlement, has also been effectively eliminated. Of course, this almost opportunistic settlement method inevitably resulted in a certain degree of weakened rewards.

If the game were to proceed normally, clearing all the levels after Tongtian River and Chechi Kingdom—namely, Pansi Cave, Lion Camel Ridge, Trapped Sky Mountain, and Flame Mountain—in a proper manner, and then defeating the final boss, most of the abilities of this Erlang Shen template would likely be incorporated into Cheng Tian's additional skill system.

It's just that Cheng Tian's own abilities have a lot in common with this Erlang Shen template from Black Mythology, so some of his abilities were retained in the form of fusion, overlay, and special effects.

However, what surprised Cheng Tian the most during the overall settlement process was the template skill "Divine Guardian".

Based on past experience, skilled players will always select the skills that Cheng Tian uses most frequently or that are most beneficial to him for their scoring. In other words, in the talent assessment, "Divine Guardian" has a higher priority than other skills.

Cheng Tian firmly believed that his talent wouldn't let him down, so after successfully landing in the space plaza, he took another look at the skill.

【Divine Guardian: Additional passive skill. Your powerful pet will intervene in your battles as a "Divine Guardian" to attack your enemies.

When you enter combat, all your pet units will enter "Guardian" mode. You can actively select any one pet unit to be incorporated into your next attack to assist in combat.

Pet units in this state will not be attacked and will disappear immediately after releasing their full attack. As long as a pet unit is brought into the dungeon, it can enter the "Protect Master" mode even if it is not released.

Depending on the strength of each pet unit, it will enter a "standby" mode of varying lengths after each protection, and cannot be summoned again; the standby time for each of your pet units will be calculated independently.

Because you possess the additional skill 'Tank Master', your vehicle units can also be considered 'pet' units and enter 'Guardian Standby' mode.

[Additional comment: Erlang Shen will have his celestial hound, Xiaotian, providing support during battles, but theoretically, when it's your turn, you could even summon the Blazing Sun for a planet-destroying strike...]

After reading the detailed description, Cheng Tian finally understood that his choice of talent was correct. This talent's priority was indeed higher than other abilities. Even if Cheng Tian were given the choice of an additional skill, he would most likely still choose this skill in the end.

In the Erlang Shen template of Black Myth, in addition to his own powerful strength, Xiaotian Dog will also appear as a companion protective beast and be integrated into Erlang Shen's various moves.

Erlang Shen only kept dogs, horses, and birds, but Cheng Tian kept a much larger number of pets, and because of the Chariot Master, even vehicles were included in the pet category.

Maintaining a car is also a form of maintenance!
Cheng Tian couldn't wait any longer and ran straight to the wooden dummy training ground, where he booked a private area.

He merely made an ordinary, unremarkable slashing motion at the training dummy, and then the sound of an engine and wind rushing past from behind him. The drill chariot, with its drill bit spinning at high speed, directly sent the dummy flying and then vanished into the void garage.

The drill chariot's drifting and sudden stop in parking space number 2 left the mammoth war elephant in parking space number 1, who was sucking on the lightning halberd like a pacifier, completely stunned.

Looking at the wooden figure fragments scattered all over the ground, Cheng couldn't help but let out a strange cry of "WRYYYYYYY!"
