There is many thoughts in Sun Wukong mind right now.
After he owed Karma to this Child, he jump through Ti and Space and look through possible futures and all cause and effect of the past and he knows who this Child is and knows more in detail about what might have happened in a different tiline.
This Monkey might have the Divine Stamp of Sun Wukong but this did not an he inherit all the traits of Sun Wukong that storytellers would make up
One thing is that he did not like to talk and curse so much. At least not as much as the storytellers makes him up to be
And after he reached and ascend to the Western Heaven, he rarely talks and rarely explain. This is the first ti since a long ti that he would even bother to explain things to a mortal.
Because he feels grateful.
But he did not need to tell all the details. Like who is the Monk? How he get the flute? Why he leave so many inheritance?
What is the full story of what happened in that world?
Because this story is long and it is not sothing that he would like to divulge.
So things are more beautiful as mories. And so pain are locked in those mories.
Dredging up the beautiful things would also dredge up the painful things and there is no need to do that.
"That world, is a world trapped by Karma. The cause and effect is deep and one should destroy that world. Or....break a hole. The Mountain suppresses the world, cut off the heavenly laws and those inside is unable to co out and ascend."
Azief think back of his experience in that world and he understood sothing. He looks at Sun Wukong and he understood it
"From a small cage to a bigger cage" Azief mutters.
Sun Wukong only nodded
Azief sighed
He might not show it but sotis, he would think of that one disciple in that world.
He also has one in Earth. Somi. The wife of Wang Jian. But he did not teach her much and he himself did not think that he acted like a teacher.
But he did not mind if Somi wanted to use his na to deter people. Sotis, Azief thinks about that world where he breakthroughs into Divine Comprehension.
He wonders whether what he did that year has now turned into a legend and wonder what happened to his disciple.
Xi Feng, has his Flowing Sword Technique reach perfection? Did he beco a legend himself like him?
. Did he able to break through that world?
He hoped that his disciple did break through that world. Since Sun Wukong said he created a tear, there is a chance that Xi Feng might have been able to break through that world through that tear.
To him, Xi Feng is a true disciple of his.
He sotis thinks about that world and as Sun Wukong keep talking about it he began to rember so of the matters in that world
It is not that he had forgotten. It is just that he is preoccupied with many things and seeing so many things he had to compartntalize certain feelings and mories.
"There is a promise I made to a little monk. And because of you, my cause and effect is completed and I could release myself from so things"
There is not much to the story. But Azief could tell that the real story, the true story of everything that had happened would be long and personal.
And this alone is good enough.
He does not need to know everything. After all, they are not that close that they could share everything.
Azief knows the limit of things he could ask and the things he should not
Azief listen to what Sun Wukong is saying and he understood sothing and he smiles bitterly
No, not understood but know with exact conviction
In the past, he had made such assumption. But at that ti, it was an assumption and not a conviction
Now, it is different. He is convinced of what happened in that past
"You were the Supre Being that interfere in the Road. You sent there"
Sun Wukong smiles and nodded.
"Why? Are you dissatisfied?"
Azief smiles
And Azief shakes his head.
It is true that Sun Wukong interfere.
But he is not dissatisfied at all.
Not because Sun Wukong is stronger than him and he could not do anything against this being
No, if he really is dissatisfied, he would have been thinking about it all these years and he would surely speak his mind before.
He would not even care to et Sun Wukong if that was the case
Because, the Sealed World while it did take his powers in the beginning, in the end, that was his opportunity for breakthrough.
Without that interference who knows how much longer he have to wait to even feel the trace of the path toward Divine Comprehension
And from there he learns sothing and there is benefits.
And maybe that is the compensation that Sun Wukong arrange for him.
At that ti, Azief could not think of it.
But now as he reached higher reams of power, he is quite sure that even if he had failed, he would not be dead in that world.
This Divine Enlightened Monkey would have found a way to rescue him so that he would not owe cause and effect if he had failed.
But if he succeeded, which he did, then he would also be rewarded.
That place was perfect for him to build the foundation for his Divine Comprehension laws.
"No, I am not. I am grateful"
Sun Wukong smiles and nodded
"this child could be taught" he mutters. For a mont there is silence between them. Sun Wukong look at him, and he seems to be scanning him
He chuckles and then he ask
"Why didn’t you use the flute?"
Azief thought for a mont and he rembered.
The Demonic Flute that he took from the Temple of Xi on top of the Shaohua Mountain
The flute that the Demonic Monkey had left, the flute with ten demons inside of it.
"It’s your flute" Azief understood now.
Sun Wukong nodded
"Ten Demons in my tribulations" he mutters with a sigh and then he explained
"I have finished my tribulations but they are still in the tribulations"
This might be the reason for his sigh.
"Reincarnation is like a wheel and if they wanted to be ascend, they first must make rit. The chance to make a rit is in the one that will open the Sealed World. And so, it ended up in your hand"
Azief only listen but he did not say anything
Sun Wukong then said
"But you did not use it. How could they make rit then? Use them and let them make rit to be acknowledged by the Heaven and Earth. It would also be useful for you" Sun Wukong knows why Azief did not use the flute.
Unlike in the other tiline, where he did use this flute. Sotis, even Sun Wukong is confused
As fate and destiny beco even more disturbed, the future and past, whether it be this future or that past, things have beco more convoluted and one could go crazy if they did not have ntal fortitude to reconcile images of vision past and future
Even Sun Wukong is not immune to this.
Even he might get confused whether certain things would happen in this future or whether it happen in that other tiline future
The way Sun Wukong resolve this confusion is to ditate. So....like Zeus, simply erased it from his mind, erasing his mories.
Or maybe, he just seal it away like so powerful beings that did not want to wade the muddy waters
So splits their mind into avatars that roams the world.
Odin for example uses Hugin, Munin, the two ravens to ease off this confusion.
Added with Geri and Freki, Odin could maintain his clear mind.
He sighed when he thinks about this.
Azief did not use the flute since he got that flute
Because this ti, he got the Etherna inheritance. And there is no problem that he could not solve with his fist.
There is no reason for him to use that flute.
That led to the fact that the flute that he had taken, had never been used.
But Sun Wukong believe there must be another reason why Azief did not even use it after all of these years.
At least, he should have tried to use it. But he never uses it, even once.
So, he is also very curious
"Why did you not use it?"
Azief smiles bitterly
"I never needed to use it"
Sun Wukong eyes look at him, gesturing him to explain
Azief nodded and continue
"Your Excellency" and he sighed before continuing, "it is not that I don’t want to use them. I actually thought of them as my trump card"
"But...at the sa ti, I have so wariness towards these demons inside the flute. I fear.....that I could not control them if they were released. Hence, I keep them as my trump card. If I reached a condition where all of my thods is exhausted, then I would summon all ten of these demons out from the flute."
