Synopsis

[Complete at over a million characters, clean and incredibly good. Come check it out!]

[Beating up Buddhism and Daoism + the rise of humanity]

Li Tai transmigrates into the world of Journey to the West and becomes the fourth prince of the Tang dynasty, Li Tai.

He thought the System would be a blessing, but never expected it to relay every thought in his heart straight to Li Shimin!

“My son, which side will you choose, Buddhism or Daoism?”

[Choose my foot! I’ll fly straight up to the heavens, slap Laozi to death, seize control of the School of Humanity, and unite the Three Realms under the Tang dynasty!]

“My son, we’ve kidnapped Tang Sanzang, and Tathagata Buddha is leading an army against us! What do we do?”

[Don’t ask me! What can I do lying here? Tathagata might be a total nobody, but I can’t be bothered to get out of bed!]

(This story draws on the Journey to the West and Investiture of the Gods written by earlier authors, as well as the Primordial World setting. It has no connection to real-world religions or depictions of deities.)

Nice! I read it in one go. It was super interesting, except for the occasional inner monologues of the main character that gave me a headache. Otherwise, it was great! Aww I love it! Author, please update soon! Charge! ...

Seeing that there's no female lead, I immediately gave it a five-star review. It's truly amazing, please update!

At first, I thought it was just a mindless, feel-good story, but it got better and better as I read on. There's no female lead, no overly idealistic characters, and no ambiguous relationships. The characters are well-developed, the plot is reasonable, the logic is tight, and the scope is grand. Highly recommended! Five stars! (ง •̀_•́)ง

It's so good, but there aren't enough chapters. I hope the author can update more chapters every day while maintaining the quality.

This book is quite good, but there's one thing I don't understand. Logically, it's divided according to the realms in Journey to the West, so it should be like Journey to the West, where one day in heaven is equivalent to one year on earth. For example, when the protagonist sealed the South Heavenly Gate, the Jade Emperor and the others broke the seal and used it, let's say it was one month! That's more than 30 years, so why hasn't the Great Hall developed yet?
