What fun might ensue when the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong, transmigrates to Chentang Pass and meets Nezha?
The novel's main thrills:
1. Two wildly rebellious protagonists: the lawless Sun Wukong and the defiant Nezha join forces to challenge every authority.
2. A crossover across time and space: the worlds of Journey to the West and Investiture of the Gods collide, with fresh takes on classic characters that offer both nostalgia and novelty.
3. Beating up “hypocrites”: The lofty, self-righteous “Immortals” of traditional cultivation fantasy become the ultimate villains, their hypocrisy exposed as they get thoroughly beaten down.
4. Brotherhood: Sun Wukong and Nezha go from disliking each other to becoming brothers who would die for one another. Their bond is passionate and moving.
5. Turning tradition on its head: The original storylines, including Nezha's havoc in the sea and his offering of his bones to his father, are broken apart and replaced with a fresh, more exhilarating story.
6. Golden fingers and growth: Sun Wukong comes equipped with Journey to the West golden fingers: Fiery Golden Eyes, the Seventy-Two Transformations, an indestructible body, the Somersault Cloud, and the Golden Cudgel. Nezha has limitless potential, with three heads and eight arms, the Red Armillary Sash, the Universe Ring, and Wind-Fire Wheels. Together, they're a formidable team that keeps breaking through their limits.
