After returning from their journey to retrieve the scriptures, Tang Sanzang and his three disciples went back to Flower-Fruit Mountain for a celebration banquet. To their surprise, they accidentally activated the “WeChat Group of the Myriad Worlds” that Taishang Laojun had left behind. Before anyone could figure out what was going on, Sun Wukong and Nezha were already arguing over who got the red envelopes. Erlang Shen egged them on, Zhu Bajie was busy tagging Fairy Chang'e to ask for pictures, and Sha Wujing lurked silently, occasionally chiming in with “Amitabha Buddha,” only for Red Boy to mock him for having a slow internet connection.
The group also included Jiang Ziya, Daji, Yang Jian, and all kinds of gods and monsters from Investiture of the Gods. Gossip about the Celestial Court and Mount Lingshan became a regular topic in the chat, and the Jade Emperor and the Tathagata were tagged hundreds of times every day, explaining things until they were tearing their hair out. To stop the world from being destroyed by spoilers, the Jade Emperor and the Tathagata decided to join forces to prevent this “calamity across the myriad worlds.” But the messengers they sent were dazzled by the WeChat group's many amazing features and became hopelessly addicted.
The grudges and tangled relationships between the worlds of Investiture of the Gods and Journey to the West kept brewing in the WeChat group. Gods and monsters from all walks of life jumped in to ship couples, grab red envelopes, and battle with stickers. Some even started livestream shopping in the group. Before long, the Celestial Court and Mount Lingshan had turned into massive livestreaming studios, filled with cheerful chaos. Watching the GDP on his phone keep rising, the Jade Emperor gave up resisting, joined the party, and gave Marshal Tianpeng's position to Zhu Bajie, the most enthusiastic livestream seller.
