The stand-in monkey shook its head, its expression growing increasingly lazy: "It's fate, why force it?"
Liu Er sighed deeply, his expression somber.
In truth, he held Sun Wukong in utter contempt: "A superior birth, an immense opportunity, yet you are so lazy? Of course, a chosen one, how could he know the value of such an opportunity? Heh heh, since you don't cherish it, then taking your opportunity won't be considered a forced loss."
The two stayed at Fangcun Mountain for a while before riding on auspicious clouds towards Huaguo Mountain.
Both of them cultivated under the tutelage of Patriarch Bodhi, and the supernatural powers they learned were essentially the same.
The substitute monkey uses the Somersault Cloud, and so does Six-Eared Macaque.
The two of them somersaulted and headed straight for Dongsheng Shenzhou.
In a short while, Flower Fruit Mountain came into view in the distance.
The substitute monkey's gaze sharpened, and sure enough, it saw demons soaring into the sky in the mountains, unlike the auspicious clouds and auspicious atmosphere that had accompanied it on its arrival.
"What kind of demon dares to cause trouble in my Flower Fruit Mountain?"
Liu Er's gaze turned cold. "Senior brother, let me weigh him."
Although the monkeys of Flower Fruit Mountain were not his subordinates.
He, Liu Er, was not one to plead for the monkey.
However, his current persona is that of Sun Wukong's junior brother and the second-in-command of Flower Fruit Mountain.
If we don't take action now, how can the play continue?
After Liu Er finished speaking, without waiting for Sun Wukong's reply, his figure had already disappeared on the somersault cloud.
With special instruction from the Bodhi Patriarch, Liu Er's foundation, though not as strong as Sun Wukong's in the original work, still barely reached the level of a Taiyi Golden Immortal.
During this period, neither the gods nor their mounts descended to the mortal realm.
Among the demons on earth, those stronger than him can be counted on one hand.
In Huaguo Mountain, there is naturally no one stronger than him.
In just a few breaths, the demonic auras of Flower Fruit Mountain vanished.
The stand-in monkey stood high in the sky, seeing everything clearly.
Only after Six Ears finished his performance did the stand-in monkey slowly descend to the ground.
"My king, you are back!"
"Yes, monkeys, I'm back!"
"The King is back! The King is back!"
The monkeys of Flower Fruit Mountain immediately cheered, their faces beaming with genuine smiles.
Six Ears was speechless: "I eliminated the enemy for you, and you weren't this happy? A lazybones came back, and you're overjoyed? Have these monkeys lost their minds, just like Sun Wukong?"
Although he was unhappy, Liu Er still forced himself to attend the welcome ceremony at Flower Fruit Mountain.
Unlike the Journey to the West as seen by Liu Er, the loss of Flower Fruit Mountain can be said to be almost non-existent.
For some unknown reason, the Demon King and other demons only recently gathered near the Water Curtain Cave, and didn't have a chance to harm the monkeys.
This was, of course, thanks to Sun Wukong, who was hiding in the shadows.
Liu Er had no idea and could only guess: "Perhaps I was in a hurry to come back and showed off my supernatural powers, which angered the patriarch, so these monkeys were spared."
Thinking this, Liu Er became even more displeased with the monkeys surrounding Sun Wukong.
With such great achievements, why haven't these monkeys come over to praise and flatter me?
Instead, they praised the monkey who was slacking off to the skies!
"Senior brother, I've heard that in the 173rd sea of the East China Sea, there is a Sea-Stabilizing Needle Iron, left behind by Yu the Great when he controlled the floods. Why don't we go and get it as a weapon? We can use it to fight our enemies in the future?" During the meal, Liu Er suddenly had an idea and said.
The substitute monkey shook his head: "I don't like fighting by nature, so what good is that divine needle iron to me? Junior brother, if you want it, go ahead and take it. But that divine needle iron is of great importance, and it might turn into another disaster."
Six Ears was waiting for Sun Wukong to say this, and upon hearing it, he laughed and said, "Brother, don't worry. I will take responsibility for the trouble I caused myself, and I will definitely not implicate Flower Fruit Mountain."
After saying that, he put down his wine glass and disappeared without a trace.
The substitute monkey saw it clearly. At that moment, a golden light fell into the East Sea, and Six Ears had already gone to seize the divine weapon.
"Once you step into the Taiyi Realm, you become arrogant and conceited instead of cultivating your Dao. Without breaking through the barriers of fame, fortune, and merit, even becoming a Daluo is in vain!"
The substitute monkey was ultimately a puppet that attained enlightenment.
I have a deep love for life itself.
They take fame, fortune, and spiritual attainment lightly.
Even if the Six-Eared Macaque wanted to scheme against him, he felt he could save him.
After all, life is so precious.
He transformed from an inanimate object into a spirit, and he understood all too well the difficulty of the creation of life.
As a result, despite his repeated reminders, Liu Er turned a deaf ear, only thinking about becoming an immortal, a Buddha, or an ancestor, and instead failed to understand worldly fame and fortune.
The allure of fame and fortune is profound, and the potential consequences are far beyond what ordinary people can bear.

Even the original stone monkey Sun Wukong, born and raised by heaven and earth, was somewhat unable to bear this cause and effect.
As a result, Liu Er assumed that he could take his place!
If Liu Er were still an ordinary demon, the substitute monkey's thoughts would be rather arrogant and ignorant of human suffering.
After all, how can one know the suffering of those at the bottom without experiencing it firsthand?
If Liu Er were to remain at the bottom and strive to climb the social ladder, using all his cunning, there would be nothing wrong with it.
However, Liu Er is no ordinary demon now, nor is he at the bottom level; he is a genuine Taiyi Golden Immortal.
Given his level of power and his background as a disciple of Bodhi, as long as he doesn't cause trouble or get involved in karma, few powerful beings would be willing to harm him.
In other words, ever since Liu Er joined the Three Star Cave, he has actually escaped his original fate and gained most of his freedom.
As a result, he remained obsessed with scheming against Sun Wukong, wanting to become a Buddha and an ancestor, and actively ventured into the complex karma of the Three Realms.
The fact that the free man willingly walked into the trap left the bystander, the substitute monkey, speechless.
"Your Majesty, the Second King is so terrifying!" Suddenly, a little monkey came closer and climbed onto the substitute monkey's leg. "As soon as he came out, he tore the demon in half, and blood and intestines were spilled all over the ground. It scared me to death."
"Me too, me too."
The monkey laughed and said, "He was just worried that you would be bullied. Here, have a peach to calm your nerves!"
"The peaches the king gave me are so delicious!"
"The King is the best!"
The monkeys cheered.
They are just monkeys that eat fruits and vegetables; although they are naturally aggressive, they do not like bloodshed.
This is also why they fear the six-eared creature.
The six-eared macaques seemed to be two different kinds of creatures to them, as if they wanted to devour them as well.
……
Several months have passed in a flash.
Six-Eared Macaque and his stand-in monkey returned to Flower Fruit Mountain, where they established a great reputation.
Of course, 99% of his fame was earned by Liu Er.
The substitute monkey was quite lazy, spending his days eating fruit with the other monkeys or playing with the little monkeys, and had no idea about Six Ears' grand plan.
This was exactly what Liu Er wanted.
Now, it's going to do what Sun Wukong did.
With Sun Wukong not showing up, his plan could proceed perfectly.
As a result, the front of Flower Fruit Mountain became a place where demons danced wildly and where the Six-Eared Demons gathered.
The back of Huaguo Mountain has become a paradise for monkeys.
Because of his fear of Sun Wukong, Liu Er, no matter how powerful he was, dared not let the demons cause trouble or provoke the monkeys.
The two sides, however, remained at peace.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. Your Majesty possesses great supernatural powers. Why not seek a prestigious title so that your fellow practitioners may have a glimpse of it?"
Demons roared amidst the mountains.
Liu Er sat on the high platform, full of pride and satisfaction.
"It's like a pillow appearing when you're sleepy; of course I need a title." Liu Er was overjoyed. This was the life he had been pursuing; the feeling of standing above billions of people was amazing.
That damned monkey Sun Wukong had no idea how wonderful this feeling was.
Looking at the demons in the mountains, he sneered inwardly: "You lot are just stepping stones for me, only good for now. Once I become an immortal or a saint, you will all turn to ashes."
In fact, in Liu Er's mind, these demons did not need to wait until they became immortals or saints; they only needed to wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace before they were wiped out by the heavenly soldiers, thus fulfilling their mission as pawns.
