(Bodhi fiercely protects his own; Guanyin and Maitreya are undercover; Six-Eared Macaque hides in the shadows; Tang Sanzang is full of surprises; a chaos-ape cultivates all three paths; the Tathagata is laid low.)
After enduring the eighty-one trials of Journey to the West, the working-class monkey
finds that his reward for success is execution at the hands of countless Buddhas?
You old Tathagata, you bullied me, deceived me, and harmed me!
Reborn into this life, I’ll make you taste the Five Elements Mountain!
In this life, I won’t be the disciple Patriarch Bodhi casts out!
In this life, I won’t suffer the humiliations of the Journey to the West trials!
In this life, I won’t bow to the Jade Emperor and the Buddhas’ oppression!
In this life, the Celestial Court’s generals will all aid me, and the Buddhist kingdom of Spirit Mountain will fall in an instant!
In this life, a million demons will join forces, and Spirit Mountain will be crushed!
I’ll make you, Tathagata, tumble from your lotus throne and taste the Five Elements Mountain for yourself!
Forces attacking Spirit Mountain:
Combat division: Flower-Fruit Mountain, the Dragon Palaces of the Four Seas, the Underworld, the Demon Palace, Mount Fangcun, and more.
Intelligence division: undercover agents, Earth Gods, and mountain gods.
Logistics division: Taishang Laojun, Queen Mother of the West, and others.
Plus a million-strong army!
Special sponsors: the Celestial Court (Yang Jian, Nezha, and many rebellious celestial lords.)
Six-Eared Macaque: Big Brother, I’m not too late, am I?
Tathagata: Brother Monkey, I was wrong. Don’t slap me in the face. I’ll never be anyone’s lackey again!
Tang Sanzang: You Tathagata, why do you talk so much? Great Might Heavenly Dragon! From now on, I am the Buddha!
Who is the person behind it? Who is the person behind the Jade Emperor? Why did Liu Er go? Why does the Golden Cudgel have consciousness (instrument spirit)? Another point is why the characters of Tang Seng, Zhu Bajie and others are different from the past? This novel, so far, has a lot of suspense, which makes me want to read it all the time. Although it is very routine, the plot is still quite interesting, and every plot surprises me!
It is very different from the previous Journey to the West style. It is a refreshing feeling. This article is written from an original perspective, eliminating the high-sounding characters and truly presenting the characters' inner states. The contrast is extremely strong and fascinating.
It feels like a different Journey to the West story, and it's quite interesting to watch. I'd like it first, and then go back and read more before commenting.
The first forty chapters will intersperse a little bit of the original Journey to the West route to pave the way for the plot, but it's still very enjoyable. Chapter forty starts to directly increase the strength of Tathagata!
