Learning to Create the Heavens Deep in the Mountains

[Urban fantasy, primordial chaos, the supernatural, the Myriad Worlds, Journey to the West]

Ever since Pangu created the world, the living beings of the primordial realm have faced a great calamity once every ten thousand years: the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity, the Witch and Demon Calamity, the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, and the Journey to the West Calamity.

But during the Journey to the West Calamity, Heaven and Spirit Mountain deceived the Heavenly Dao and incurred its wrath. Now the next ten-thousand-year calamity has arrived ahead of schedule in a modern city. Demons run rampant, while gods and Buddhas fall one after another and reincarnate as humans.

The only way to restore the world to normal is to retrace the journey to the West and calm the Heavenly Dao’s fury.

Just look at them: Tang Sanzang, a street-stall vendor; Zhu Bajie, a hugely popular idol; the internet-addicted teenager Little White Dragon; and Sha Wujing, a hard-hitting DJ.

Sun Wukong, the only one who remembers his past life, can only sigh. “Master, stop selling fake liquor! You idiot, take off that makeup! Little White Dragon, move it or I’ll smash your phone! Sha... Junior Brother Sha, believe me, I’ll shove that speaker right into your belly!”
