Fifty thousand years after the Journey to the West, the Three Realms undergo a great upheaval. Immortals and Buddhas vanish from sight, and the gods disappear. After countless ages, a streak of golden light bursts through the ice at the North Pole, taking the form of a burly man. He is the divine weapon once wielded by the Great Sage Equal to Heaven: the Ruyi Jingu Bang. Now, having fulfilled its merits and virtues, it has successfully transformed into an innate body of merit.
After breaking through and emerging, the Ruyi Jingu Bang gives itself the title True Lord Ruyi. It originally plans to seek out its master at once, but after looking around carefully, it discovers that the entire Three Realms have changed. Immortals, Buddhas, and Daoists have all disappeared. To uncover the reason, True Lord Ruyi searches for clues, and in the end, every hand behind it all points beyond the heavens.
