After the start of the year, Sun Wukong called Gouchen.
"I know you've been protecting the Jade Emperor lately, but this time I need to trouble you to go out."
Sun Wukong said.
This was the first request he made to Gouchen after he stayed behind.
Gouchen frowned slightly: "What for?"
"The eighth relic."
Sun Wukong replied.
"Relic?"
Gouchen's heart stirred, realizing the conflict between Huaguo Mountain and Lingshan might be about to begin.
"I have confirmed the general location of the eighth relic, but the Buddha has also sent people there."
Sun Wukong continued: "You are the War God, most suited to stop them."
Gouchen, under normal circumstances, would never have followed Sun Wukong's order to oppose Lingshan.
However, the Jade Emperor's treatment at Huaguo Mountain had changed his mindset.
Sun Wukong had proven his respect for the Jade Emperor, and their friendship in the small world was deep, reducing Gouchen's wariness towards Sun Wukong over the years.
