Journey to the West: The Ways of the World

After the Investiture of the Gods ended,

Daoism flourished, while Buddhism was newly established.

Suppressed by Daoism, Buddhism struggled to survive in the cracks.

To claim the incense and offerings of the mortal realm,

a grand pilgrimage began...

This is a different kind of "Journey to the West".

This is "Journey to the West" as you’ve never imagined it.

When the Buddhas in the heavens shed their layers of disguise,

all that remains is raw human nature.

Here, you will see the hypocrisy of gods and Buddhas.

Here, you will see the helplessness of demons.

Here, you will see the sorrows of ordinary people.

Here, you will see deals and power plays full of compromise.

This is "Journey to the West", steeped in the ways of human society.
