Chapter 412: An Extra Sun Appears
The scorching heat in this place was unbearable, making it difficult for them to continue moving forward.
At this moment, what worried Sun Wukong the most was the faint presence of demonic energy in the air. If they were to encounter a demon later, how should he deal with it?
As they rested, Ye Tian also noticed something unusual about the weather. It had never been this hot before. Why had the temperature suddenly become so extreme?
He stepped out of the cave, feeling restless. At the same time, Di Jun also found it unbearable to stay inside any longer. Though he was injured and needed rest, he no longer wished to remain in the cave.
Emerging from the cave, Di Jun turned to Ye Tian and said, "It seems something is off with today's weather."
"Indeed. I need to investigate what's going on."
With that, Ye Tian soared into the sky, heading toward the Heavenly Palace.
"Your Majesty, Ye Tian has arrived!"
"What? He actually dared to come here? How audacious!"
"What should we do now?"
"Let him in."
"Understood."
Step by step, Ye Tian approached and spoke, "The mortal realm is suffering, yet you still have the leisure to watch dancers perform?"
"The mortal realm is suffering? What are you talking about?"
"The mortal world is experiencing an unbearable heatwave. You should know the reason, shouldn't you?"
"Hmm?"
The Jade Emperor was taken aback. The Heavenly Palace was different from the mortal realm, so he honestly had no idea what was happening. He replied, "I truly don't know what's going on. Can you tell me?"
"Just now, the temperature in the mortal world suddenly skyrocketed. I found it odd, so I came to ask you. I thought you would know, but it turns out you don't."
"Taibai Jinxing, what's going on?"
"I have no idea either!"
"Then hurry and investigate. Find out the cause of this phenomenon!"
"Understood! I'll look into it immediately."
Taibai Jinxing had no choice but to rush off to investigate. After a while, he returned, saying, "I had Thousand-Mile Eye and Wind-Accompanying Ear look into it. It turns out that another sun has suddenly appeared in the sky! At first, the two suns overlapped, so no one noticed, but just now, they separated, making it visible."
"What? Another sun in the sky?"
The Jade Emperor was stunned. He hadn't expected a second sun to suddenly appear. No wonder the heat had become so intense! Now, he was genuinely alarmed.
This was a major problem. If there were two suns, the mortal world would become unbearably hot. Crops would wither, and countless people could perish.
Growing anxious, the Jade Emperor rebuked his subordinates, "This is a massive failure on your part! Why am I only hearing about this now? How can you call yourselves gods?"
"Your Majesty, this isn't entirely our fault. This is a mortal world issue. At first, the increased heat seemed normal to us. After all, the gods of the Heavenly Palace are resistant to heat, so we didn't find it unusual."
"Ugh..."
The Jade Emperor furrowed his brows, unsure how to respond. After a long pause, he turned to Ye Tian and asked, "Then what do you think we should do?"
"You're asking me? How should I know?"
As they were speaking, a loud noise suddenly echoed across the sky.
The Golden List Livestream appeared once again!
The unexpected appearance of the Golden List Livestream surprised Ye Tian. "The Golden List Livestream is showing up at this moment... Could it be related to the second sun?"
He felt there had to be a connection!
Before long, they arrived at the Golden List Livestream, where an announcement was made:
"This time, the list is—the Sun-Shooting List!"
"What? The Sun-Shooting List?"
"That's right! Whoever can shoot down the sun will be ranked first. However, there is no second place. In other words, the first person to shoot down the sun will be the sole winner."
Ye Tian was surprised. "That doesn't seem very fair!"
"Why do you say that?"
"I've heard that in the past, Houyi shot down many suns. This should be an easy task for him, right?"
"If Houyi doesn't have the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, he won't be able to do it. And that bow is hidden somewhere in this world. Whoever finds it first will have the best chance of shooting down the sun."
"The Sun-Shooting Divine Bow?"
Ye Tian immediately understood the challenge.
Houyi then said, "After I shot down the suns before, the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow was buried in the mortal world. Finding it now won't be easy."
Hearing this, Ye Tian nodded and said, "In that case, the competition is fair. I must find the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow—that ranking will be mine!"
"You think you can take first place so easily? Not a chance!"
The Golden List Livestream added, "The champion will receive an incredibly generous reward. However, all participants will also receive consolation prizes. Now, the competition begins. Go forth!"
"Alright!"
Ye Tian was thrilled. Even if he didn't secure first place, there would still be rewards. Without hesitation, he set off on his search.
But the world was vast, and no one knew where the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow was hidden. How was he supposed to find it?
Meanwhile, Sun Wukong was also taken aback. The Golden List Livestream was starting another event—should he participate too?
