Chen Hao, a young man from the modern world, dies saving a girl. His lingering soul enters the mythological world of Journey to the West, where he unexpectedly becomes the Jade Emperor of the Celestial Court.
But he soon discovers that the ruler of the Three Realms is nothing but a puppet in the hands of the Sages, with every move under surveillance.
Unwilling to remain a pawn, Chen Hao uses his own origin power and a Nine-Turn Golden Elixir to create a clone with an innate Dao body and send it to the Tang Empire.
The clone awakens in Qingyun City in the third year of the Zhenguan era. Though it has lost its memories, it possesses extraordinary abilities and sees through a fugitive’s disguise at their first encounter.
Above, the Jade Emperor makes secret plans in the Celestial Court; below, his bewildered clone blunders forward through the mortal world.
Taibai Jinxing’s allegiance, the watchful eyes of various factions, and bonds of fate yet unknown
turn this gamble to overturn the board into a storm that rocks the world of Journey to the West.
