Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 832 At this moment, the Black Heavenly Court had no idea what it was about to face...

I think of you every day while you're gone.

These words swept across the entire area like a strong gust of wind, their impact no less than being struck head-on by a mountain-splitting axe or a golden cudgel.

At this moment, the open space in front of the pagoda is eerily quiet.

The silver-armored celestial soldiers, golden-bodied arhats, immortals, Buddhas, spirits, and demons all almost simultaneously held their breath, fearing that their breathing might disrupt the status quo and prevent them from seeing the normal subsequent developments.

In the three realms, whether gods, Buddhas, demons, or monsters, none dislike listening to gossip!
Journey to the West and Black Myth Journey to the West share the same origin, but as history marches on, even identical characters can develop different, or even completely opposite, personalities.

Putting aside everything else, Erlang Shen's obsession with the Monkey King in Black Myth is truly beyond comprehension, and the resulting patriarchal traits stemming from it are quite remarkable.

Phrases like "I think of you every day while you're gone," "Little monkey, you really do resemble him a bit," and "You... are not him after all."

It's fair to say that they're either looking for Monkey King to replace their meals, or on their way to doing so.

Cheng Tian considered himself to be a fairly objective person, but when faced with the frequent use of homoerotic voice lines from Erlang Shen in the game, he couldn't help but think in a biased way.

However, in his subsequent research on monkeys, Cheng Tian successfully discovered the underlying factors that led to the changes in Erlang Shen's personality.

In the game, Erlang Shen once had this line of dialogue: "I know better than you how difficult it is to bear his will."

Furthermore, considering that his third eye contains the memories of the Monkey King, Cheng Tian believes that this is not a metaphor, but a true description.

The Great Sage's inherent abilities will corrode his body, and his memories will likely have a continuous impact on his spirit and mind.

Even someone as powerful as Erlang Shen would likely be influenced by the Great Sage's memories. Combined with the fact that Erlang Shen indeed regarded the Monkey King as one of the few beings in the Three Realms who could be similar to himself, this multi-layered effect resulted in Yang Jian's patriarchal behavior of focusing solely on the Monkey King.

The Great Sage's remnant body, which had already been somewhat depleted due to encountering two beings who could become test subjects, showed even greater confusion on its face after hearing Hei Yangjian's masculine speech, completely lacking the imposing aura it had when it first appeared.

Could Erlang Shen not see that the Great Sage before him was merely a rootless, floating corpse?
He could see that, of course; he was just emotional and needed to vent, that was all.

Moreover, just as Cheng Tian pointed out, absorbing the Great Sage's memories has indeed had an almost irreversible impact on Hei Yangjian, something he himself has already realized.

and so--

The Great Sage's memories, in an almost tangible form, shot out from his third eye and began to flow back into his remaining body.

Just like when Cheng Tian implemented memory sharing in the previous instance.

As memories were reinfused, the Great Sage's remaining body began to undergo wondrous changes.

It seemed like only a moment, yet also like an eternity. The Great Sage's broken body, staggering back a few steps, covered his head. When he raised his head again, black pupils slowly appeared in his empty and blank pupils!

At this moment, Erlang Shen, whose mental pressure had been greatly relieved, quietly stared at the monkey in front of him, and then spoke again with a complicated expression.

"You... are still not him."

The only response to Erlang Shen was the Great Sage's broken body, which had straightened up again, nodding slowly but firmly.

"The True Lord is right. I am merely a phantom that has obtained the remnants of memories; I have not truly been resurrected."

Having said that, the Great Sage's remains looked around and saw many figures that evoked his memories. When the cassock fluttered in the wind and Tang Sanzang, holding a tin staff, came into view, the Great Sage's remains couldn't help but tremble, and he subconsciously uttered the words "Master".

But as I said before, I am not truly resurrected, and the master before me is not the one who has accompanied me all the way.

...But are the masters in that world really this wild?
The Great Sage's gaze lingered a little longer on the remaining traces of demonic flesh at the tip of Tang Sanzang's staff.

"Speaking of which, you, the chosen one, how come you look so different from Old Sun?"

But after a brief moment of reminiscence, the remnant of the Great Sage, who had decided to immediately fulfill his duty of inheriting the trial, began to look Cheng up and down.

He had thought that Heaven would choose a monkey similar to himself, but the person in front of him, although possessing savage beastly nature, was not at all like a monkey, which really surprised him.

However, before Cheng Tian could answer, the remnant of the Great Sage shook his head and withdrew his previous statement.

"Old Sun is also too attached to appearances. So what if he's not a monkey... Kid, are you ready to receive Old Sun's legacy?"

"Inheritance? Inherit what?"

Cheng Tian's sudden question startled even the Great Sage's remnant body, before it replied earnestly.

"Of course, it's about breaking the cycle of reincarnation and ending the fate of this cannibalistic world."

"So, Monkey King, guess why I brought so many people from another world?"

The Great Sage paused, then suddenly realized what he had subconsciously overlooked.

Another version of myself, another pilgrimage team, genuine celestial soldiers, genuine Arhats of Mount Ling, and even Nezha, Li Jing, Manjushri, and Samantabhadra...

If you ignore the number of heavenly soldiers, this is even more impressive than when the Heavenly Court attacked its own Flower Fruit Mountain.

What's most noteworthy isn't the sheer number of people arriving at once, but rather that the Heavenly Court and Mount Ling are actually on the same side!

Humans cannot imagine things they have never seen before; they must be things arranged and combined from existing memories. For Monkey King, the Heavenly Court and Mount Ling standing together is simply unimaginable.

As for what Mr. Cheng meant, it couldn't be clearer.

Break the cycle of reincarnation? End fate?
He's already doing it, and he's aiming to cause a huge upheaval!
While the Great Sage's remains were still in a daze, Cheng Tian actually took all five of them out of his chest and slammed them into the Great Sage's remains!

All six senses...gathered!
But it still cannot change the fact that the Great Sage's remains are the essence of a remnant of an era.

While it appears that the six senses are gathered together, in reality, it accelerates the collapse of the Great Sage's remaining body. A Great Sage who is not alive simply cannot withstand the cost of their gathering.

"The Great Sage."

"Ok?"

"The Lingxiao Palace in this world needs renovation."

Cheng Tian's Heavenly Eye stared intently at the Great Sage's mangled body, then emitted a strange wave that landed on the mangled body—

Hundred Demons... Night Walk!
