Cao Chenyi is swept up by a mysterious System of unknown origin and instantly transported across time and space, only to find himself the crown prince of Wuji Kingdom in the world of Journey to the West.
But this “crown prince” title isn’t the end of a life of luxury. It’s the beginning of a breathtaking adventure. The System grants him a power that turns everything upside down: as long as he completes designated tasks, he can forcibly levy “tolls” from the boss of any stage among the Eighty-One Tribulations on the pilgrimage west!
These “tolls” are no ordinary taxes! They aren’t gold or silver. Instead, they directly strip the mighty monsters and spirits, immortals and Buddhas, of the very things that sustain their power: extraordinary talents, wondrous supernatural abilities, mighty magical treasures, and even the cultivation they have accumulated over centuries! Whether it’s the White Bone Spirit’s shapeshifting, the Yellow Wind Monster’s Samadhi Divine Wind, the Purple Gold Gourd of Gold Horn and Silver Horn, or the Diamond Cutter of the Green Ox Spirit, in theory, all of them are fair game for Cao Chenyi.
Armed with this utterly astounding “taxation power,” Cao Chenyi finds himself at the center of the forces reshaping the game of Journey to the West. Will he choose to keep his head down, or use this unique power to play both sides amid the countless immortals, Buddhas, and monsters, perhaps even... make the first move and throw the entire world of Journey to the West into chaos? Every tax he collects could change the course of a tribulation and trigger unforeseen consequences.
See how Cao Chenyi, crown prince of Wuji Kingdom, makes his way in the world of Journey to the West, where gods and demons run rampant. With his arrival, the story of Journey to the West is quietly being rewritten!
