Sun Wukong had just returned to the Virtue Palace when the Jade Emperor arrived on the Dragon Chariot.
Quietly and peacefully, two officials led many Immortal Officials who joyously served at the side.
"Can the Heavenly Court remain stable after your departure?"
The Jade Emperor asked, twirling a white chess piece in his hand.
"It can."
As Sun Wukong made his move, he responded, "Ao Luan can manage well, and the Buddha's control over his disciples is second to none compared to the White Robed Venerate."
"After you left, the Buddha has become increasingly diligent."
The Jade Emperor spoke: "He could have helped you, yet surprisingly, you won."
As he placed down his piece, he sighed, "Can our power still not aid you?"
"It can."
Sun Wukong replied as he made his move: "It's just that the time was not right."
The Jade Emperor shook his head and smiled bitterly.
