Since ancient times, dragons have embodied overwhelming power. Especially after Pangu split open the heavens and earth, the dragon race prevailed over the phoenixes and qilin, becoming the foremost of the three holy races. That was the height of the dragon race’s glory.
But the ruthless and treacherous Hongjun schemed against them in his bid for sainthood, and the three races dwindled after their great war.
By the time of Journey to the West, anyone dared to kick them while they were down. Hongjun’s disciple’s disciple, the old bastard Tathagata, was every bit as vicious as Hongjun, if not worse.
He even made Little White Dragon, one of the dragon race’s most gifted descendants, suffer a calamity by becoming a horse, ridden by a bald monk for fourteen whole years, before being confined in a research facility on Spirit Mountain.
Before long, the dragon race would vanish from the world entirely.
An unlucky transmigrator, carrying the Merit System, had the misfortune of becoming the dragon-horse in this calamity.
Facing the humiliation that seemed destined for him, he roared, “My dragon race was born when heaven and earth first opened. How could we meekly remain beneath others forever? If you dare force me to be a horse, then I’ll take back control of heaven and earth for the dragon race!”
To amass merit, he enters the game early: he woos princesses, flirts with the Buddha’s mother, and corrupts the Buddhas of Spirit Mountain with culture…
Yet a string of unexpected mishaps leaves him aghast when he discovers that the enemies he must face are far more than these…
