The world of Journey to the West.

Ye Xuan, armed with the Behind-the-Scenes Mastermind System, is figuring out how to manipulate major events!

When the Handsome Monkey King is born, Ye Xuan adds a little something to the depths of his soul, so you'll follow me loyally from now on!

When the Handsome Monkey King goes to the Dragon Palace for treasure, Ye Xuan steals the Sea-Calming Divine Needle first, forcing the Monkey King to come beg him for it!

When the Handsome Monkey King wreaks havoc in the Underworld, Ye Xuan leads him through the nineteenth level of hell and helps him forge an immortal, indestructible body!

When a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers attack Flower-Fruit Mountain, Ye Xuan plans a demon clan counterattack against the Heavenly Court, and feasts on peaches with all the demons, washing them down with elixirs!

When Buddha Tathagata comes to help, Ye Xuan waylays him on the road and robs him!

Tathagata roars, "My Buddha's compassion!"

Taishang Laojun exclaims in shock, "Holy crap! I'm just a pawn in this game!"
