The prequel of Journey to the West tells the story of Xiao Yang, the ninth incarnation of Jin Chanzi, and Shi Hou, who experienced the grievances of the gods on four continents in their previous lives. This is a novel about gods and demons based on the Romance of the Gods and Journey to the West. It not only takes over the grievances of the gods and immortals after defeating Zhou in "The Legend of the Gods", but also lays the groundwork for the Monkey King's havoc in the Heavenly Palace in Journey to the West, and the four masters and apprentices seeking Buddhist scriptures in the west.
The monkey is no longer Sun Wukong, but before the Stone Monkey was born. Jin Chanzi's ninth life is also completely different from Sanzo's tenth life in terms of personality and abilities. Therefore, it cannot be seen as a derivative of Journey to the West. Judging from the timeline of the story, it should be a connecting work between Fengshenbang and Journey to the West.
This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
