1. **Three Realms Pattern**
- **Heaven**: The seemingly bright heaven is actually a place corrupted by power. The Jade Emperor extracts the fate of the world in order to continue his rule. Gods and Buddhas feed on faith and enslave all living beings.
- **Underworld**: Transformed into a "reincarnation factory" by the Ten Palaces of Yama, the soul is refined into fuel to maintain the balance of the three realms.
- **Human World**: The rampage of demons and monsters is actually the connivance of heaven. Mortals have become pawns in the game between gods and Buddhas. There is a "wordless scripture" hidden at the end of the Western Region that rewrites the way of heaven.
2. **Core Settings**
- **Three Burials of Mo Tuo**: In the tenth reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, he awakened his demonic nature due to the "Three Burial Curses" planted by the Tathagata (burial of heaven, burial of Buddha, and burial of self), and practiced by devouring gods and Buddhas.
- **The Tightening Truth**: It is actually the Tathagata's chain that imprisoned Sun Wukong's "Chaos Demon Ape" in his previous life. The one who wears it will gradually lose himself and become a puppet of heaven.
- **Curse of the Scripture**: The Western Heaven's search for scriptures is actually a conspiracy. The content of the scriptures will erase the will of human beings to resist and make the Three Realms permanent.
