Mortal Atonement follows the world view of Journey to the West and is a fan extra chapter. This world is just as described by Wu Chengen. Demons and monsters are everywhere, and the Three Realms and Six Paths are for immortality.
The protagonist is not a strong man, nor a god of extraordinary achievements, nor a monster who has been practicing for many years. But a mortal with flesh and bones, fine skin and tender flesh. As a future traveler, he went astray due to this bad world. He was desperate and committed crimes, killing people and setting fires, which was harmful to nature. Until one day, he was guided by the gods and embarked on his own path of mortal salvation.
If you want to have no desires, you must cut off your marriage. If you want to become a Buddha, you must have an enlightened heart. If you want to repent, you must bow your head. If you want to do good, you must put down the butcher knife.
There are many hardships on the protagonist's road to redemption. No one can say whether he can break off his marriage, complete redemption, or become enlightened.
