[Dark Journey to the West + Merit System + Growth Story + Journey West + Standout Supporting Characters + Clever, Cathartic Read]
Jiang Liu transmigrates into the world of Journey to the West, only to discover that all living beings are merely pawns for the gods above, and that the pilgrimage west is nothing but a sham.
The multitudes offer incense, praying for the gods’ protection.
Little do they know that the gods themselves are responsible for their suffering.
People say there are gods three feet above your head, but what have the gods actually done?
On the journey west, Jiang Liu comes to understand.
If he wants to become a Buddha, every Buddha must first vanish into oblivion.
…
Jiang Liu stands before the Buddha, looking up at him and calmly saying, “I, disciple Sanzang, come bearing the wishes of all living beings in the Three Realms. I ask you to step down.”
