Honghuang: The Heavenly Mandate System, Changing Wukong's Fate Against All Odds!

After transmigrating into the Primordial World of Journey to the West, Li Qinghuan spent two hundred years cultivating and had only just reached the threshold of Refining Qi into Spirit when the entire Wuliang Sword Sect was slaughtered by the Buddhist sect's Eight Vajra Warriors, who were clearing the way for the Stone Monkey. Clutching half of his junior sister's corpse, he roared at the heavens. The Heaven's Mandate System activated, and he chose the craziest path: defying heaven.

A full kalpa's worth of cultivation was poured into him. He reached the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm in a single leap, then smashed the Eight Vajra Warriors with one slap and crushed their souls to dust. He infiltrated Flower-Fruit Mountain and found the immortal stone that would birth the Stone Monkey. Then he forced three divine arts that led straight to the Primordial realm into the monkey's sea of consciousness: the Nine-Turn Battle Saint Art, the Seventy-Two Earthly Transformations, and the Somersault Cloud. "Monkey, do you want to be the Buddhist sect's dog, or turn the tables and become the master?" Sun Wukong immediately swore an oath to the Heavenly Dao: "Master, teach me. I absolutely refuse to accept my fate!"

For a hundred years, Flower-Fruit Mountain remained peaceful, while Mount Ling was driven frantic. Guanyin came in person to investigate, but saw only a lifeless, stubborn rock. Frowning, she counted on her fingers: "The heavenly secrets are in disarray. Why has the Stone Monkey still not been born?"

Atop Purple Kirin Peak, Li Qinghuan gazed down the mountain with a wine gourd in hand and smirked. "What's the rush? Let him practice for another twenty thousand years."
