Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 823 The True Chosen One
The Xiaoleiyin Temple area in Xiaoxitian has become the bloodiest and most tragic killing and conflict area in the Black Myth dungeon in recent years.

All the demons in the vicinity were attracted by the spiritual gold coins that had not been deliberately collected, and then they all offered up their lives.

Moreover, it wasn't just demons; gods and Buddhas also began to get involved. At this moment, the Black Heavenly Court had already lost their military commander-in-chief, Li Jing.

Because of the excessively rapid troop deployment, the Black Heavenly Court actually lost more manpower than the Black Spirit Mountain.

Most importantly, although Black Spirit Mountain, Black Heavenly Court, and some of the demon kings' forces all sensed something was wrong, they did not receive any feedback.

The Little Thunderclap Temple was like a black hole, swallowing up all the people they sent out without leaving a trace.

The reason lies in Cheng's battlefield-level soul-absorbing ability. Those primordial spirits, essences, and soul fragments that could potentially transmit information were all indiscriminately devoured by the Demon Gauntlet.

The number of spirits in the demon's hands was visibly increasing, as was the upper limit of innocent souls, and... the souls of the most sinful!
Li Jing, who was forcibly controlled by Cheng Tian and launched a death charge, was surrounded and outnumbered, just like in the event replay. The three-way allied forces were quite sensible, giving most of the output opportunities to Nezha, who was eager for a meal replacement.

At this moment, when he saw Nezha, Erlang Shen, Sun Wukong and his pilgrimage team, and even another version of himself, Hei Lijing truly realized that this was actually a cross-dimensional war launched by other time-space counterparts!

There is no possibility of reconciliation between the two sides; the matter will only end when one side is completely eliminated.

If he had known this would happen, Li Jing would never have gotten involved in this mess.

Unfortunately, it was all too late. Under the combined effects of arrogance and prejudice, and the combination of cunning and cunning, the Black Heavenly Court still lost tens of thousands of Yin soldiers and generals, as well as a Heavenly Court military commander.

Its essence, which was combined with the spirit, also disappeared into the Demon Gauntlet and was subsequently judged by the space as a "soul of great sin".

[Soul Collection Progress: 11/36]

Yes, that's right, there are 11, because Huang Mei's essence also indirectly broke free from reincarnation and became Cheng Tian's soul material.

Monkey King's first strike shattered Yellow Eyebrows' painted golden body, forcing out the human seed bag.

The second blow smashed the yellow-browed man to pieces, without even allowing him to use his signature Qiankun Wave Technique.

Well, don't be fooled by the monkey's appearance. He is still the playable arcade protagonist from "Journey to the West," who can beat monsters to a pulp with a single combo. His decisiveness in killing is beyond question.

This time, the future Maitreya, who was already prepared to use an outsider to smash his own broken bell, neither hesitated or struggled with the loss of the human seed bag, nor did he intend to clean up the mess for his disciple again.

"Amitabha."

Watching the yellow-browed soul scream and frantically plead, "Master, save me!", yet still being sucked into the Ghost Cage's grasp, Maitreya simply murmured a sentence before closing his eyes.

Just as Huang Mei used the mutated humanoid bag to refine other creatures, now it was his turn to be refined by Cheng Tian.

Does this mean that Huang Mei is allowed to refine others, but others are not allowed to refine Huang Mei?
That doesn't make sense.
Moreover, once someone falls into Cheng Tian's clutches, you can say they've escaped reincarnation, or you can say they'll never be reborn—it all depends on your own interpretation.

Cheng Tian was ecstatic, because according to the worldview of Black Myth, any god or Buddha who goes along with the crowd and becomes corrupt could be described as "extremely wicked," making it a rare opportunity to collect the souls of the most sinful.

But what Cheng Tian regretted most was that the Giant Spirit God and the Four Heavenly Kings, whom he had tried to lure, did not arrive as expected.

Even the Black Spirit Mountain only managed to send out some vanguard Arhats before their offensive came to an abrupt halt. Currently, only the surrounding demons and monsters who are still unwilling to give up are trying to force their way into the current area.

The main problem lies with the Black Heavenly Court. It can only be said that even the slow-witted Black Heavenly Court has finally realized that this is a trap. Not only have they suffered continuous losses of Yin soldiers and generals, but even Li Jing has sent out a distress signal. At the same time, the pure spiritual essence is still there. This made the Black Heavenly Court realize that this is a trap.

Just as a group of immortals were speculating whether Black Spirit Mountain had joined forces with Little Western Paradise to cause trouble, Thousand-Mile Eye and Wind-Following Ear, who had finally received their orders, took in the overall battle situation at Little Thunderclap Temple and relayed it back to them.

However, it would have been better if these two hadn't brought back any information. The fact that they did bring back information shocked the Black Heavenly Court and left it in a state of endless confusion.

The ability to see and hear from afar can only observe the present situation and cannot rewind time, so the scene they see is composed of the following elements:

The silver-armored heavenly soldiers and the golden-bodied Arhats were actually on the same side.

The former was led by Erlang Shen and Nezha, who had been missing for a long time, and was suspected to be a rebellion against the Heavenly Court led by Li Jing.

The group of bald men was led by Manjushri and Samantabhadra. Although they weren't as close as one might imagine, they were undoubtedly on the same side.

But that wasn't the end of it. What shocked them the most was that the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, who had been killed and split into six entities, had actually come back to life!

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

This was the first thought that popped into the minds of the gods in the Black Heavenly Court, especially those who participated in the plan to kill Monkey King back then.

But the all-seeing eye said that he saw it clearly and distinctly: the golden armor he wore when he was conferred the title, the golden cudgel that could suppress the sea and pierce the sky, and the majestic aura of the Great Sage who could not hide his monkeyishness. All of these indicated that the Great Sage had really returned!

Moreover, they have already "won over" the other two most powerful guys in the world, clearly aiming to storm the Heavenly Court!
The Black Heavenly Court was immediately plunged into an indescribable state of panic.

It's important to understand that back then, they managed to kill the Great Sage by using every possible means: high-end combat power, insidious schemes, forcing brothers to turn against each other, making the Monkey King wary, and adding to the fact that the Monkey King himself had the idea that "no destruction, no construction," which ultimately led to the Great Sage's defeat.

But now, high-end combat forces have already fought on the other side, and even their own military region commander-in-chief doesn't know why they've ended up on the other side. How can they not panic?
This is where the advantage of data coverage is demonstrated. Thanks to the data coverage, unless you have in-depth contact with them, it is difficult for people in the Black Myth dungeon to realize at first glance that this group of people comes from the Journey to the West: The Legend of the Monkey King.

However, the Black Heavenly Court's cessation of military operations did give the three-way allied forces some time to regroup.

Cheng Tian rubbed his hands together, preparing to open the golden treasure chest that Li Jing had dropped.

But at that moment, the Great Sage came over, and Cheng Tian noticed that the ten-tailed goldfish, whose size had shrunk to the size of a palm, was the Great Sage's six senses of smell, and was swimming around on his arm.

"Isn't Brother Monkey going to take back his spiritual root?"

Cheng Tian asked.

"I think you might be more suited to this."

Unexpectedly, Monkey King replied with this sentence.

"...Brother Monkey, when did you figure that out?"

As Cheng Tian spoke, he unfolded his control panel.

In the main storyline of this Great Expedition, the template name "Chosen One" was "randomly generated" by his Game Master talent.
