Journey to the West: You Were Put in Charge of the Underworld, So Why Did You Slay Ksitigarbha?

Zhang Nianfan transmigrates into Journey to the West and becomes the nephew of Zhang Bairen, the puppet Jade Emperor. He asks for a place among the immortals so he can help ease the Jade Emperor's burden, but the Jade Emperor instead appoints him Great Emperor Fengdu, placing him in charge of the Underworld!

Zhang Nianfan is determined to govern well and make a fresh start, bringing order to the Underworld and strengthening the Jade Emperor's position across the Three Realms!

On his very first day in office, Sun Wukong wreaks havoc in the Underworld and alters the Book of Life and Death.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva aids and abets him!

Taiyi Heavenly Lord of Great Mercy, a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, kicks Zhang Nianfan while he's down, hoping to use Sun Wukong to kill him!

The Buddhist sect oppresses him, the Chan sect bullies him, and the gods of the Jie sect refuse to obey orders!

Even the Supreme Sage Taishang schemes against the uncle and nephew, and wants to marry his sister Zhinu off to a mere cowherd!

At this moment, Zhang Nianfan is furious!

He slashes Ksitigarbha, crushes Taiyi with a single palm, and lays waste to the Sea of Blood and the Nether River!

Yuanshi Tianzun: “Your uncle, the Jade Emperor, was appointed by me too! You... stop fighting!”

Tathagata Buddha roars: “You shameless little Jade Emperor! Didn't you promise to cooperate with the Journey to the West? Your nephew is about to wipe out the entire Buddhist sect!”

The Jade Emperor is completely bewildered...
