Name: Journey to the West: If the Human Race Can't Join, Then Forget About Obtaining the Scriptures
Author: Hidden and Nameless

Synopsis

Also known as Journey to the West: The Human Race's Battle for Fortune

When the "saving all sentient beings" facade of the Journey to the West is torn away, it reveals a shocking plot: the immortals and Buddhas are dividing up the human race's fortune.

Li Daoxing, a spoiled scion of the Tang imperial clan in Chang'an, accidentally activates the "Human Race Fortune System" and is tasked with exposing the truth behind the Journey to the West and awakening the will of the Human Emperor. In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he confronts Emperor Taizong and Wei Zheng, tears away Buddhism's hypocritical facade, and exposes Wei Zheng's true identity as an official of the Celestial Court. He awakens Li Shimin from the game of chess set up by the immortals and Buddhas. To prove the truth, he forces his way into the pilgrimage party as the Tang Dynasty's scripture inspector. With the Son of Heaven's sword in hand and the fortune of humanity at his side, he joins Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and the others to reshape the course of their journey west.

When they pass through the Kingdom of Women, he teams up with Li Shimin to retrieve Tang Sanzang from Golden Mountain Temple, where his parents had left him. By his parents' command and through the matchmaker's arrangement, Tang Sanzang marries into the Kingdom of Women, forcibly bringing the Journey to the West to an end. The Tang army launches a western expedition, seeking to unify the human race and restore the glory of ancient times. The remnants of the Jie Sect secretly support humanity from behind the scenes.

From the shocking revelations in the Hall of Supreme Harmony to one reversal after another on the road west; from facing the pressure of immortals and Buddhas alone to rallying the fortune of billions of people, Li Daoxing shifts the balance of the Three Realms with his own strength. He will make the immortals and Buddhas understand that the human race is no longer a pawn to be manipulated. He will make the Three Realms know that human laws stand alongside the Heavenly Dao and Buddhist teachings. And he will overturn the chessboard of every "player" and fight for a glorious future for humanity, where "everyone can become a dragon, and no one will ever kneel before gods or Buddhas again."

My Standards Aren’t High, Just Something I Can Keep Reading

Back then, I could pick up any random book and strike gold. Now I have to dig through a pile of crap to find it. This bookworm can't take much more! Don't recommend "The Great Strength" or "Slay the Gods". I followed the latter from the beginning right through to the end. Any genre is fine, I read everything, even female-oriented fiction.

When I say “not that kind,” I don’t mean the usual kind of web-novel title you see on Tomato, like something about fantasy, transmigration to another world, a great emperor, or “I Did This and That.” I mean titles the author chose sincerely.
