The Collapse of the Primordial World: The Golden Cudgel Holds Up Earth’s Sky

At the end of the Primordial Era, a hundred years after the successful Journey to the West, cracks suddenly appeared in the world! In days of old, the Heavenly Dao was impartial: plants could become spirits, beasts could attain immortality, and all living beings could hope to ascend to heaven. But Dao Ancestor Hongjun, seeking to glimpse the ultimate Great Dao, forcibly merged himself with the Dao. Instead, he tainted the Heavenly Dao, causing spiritual intelligence to arise only to be shackled. From then on, the path to immortality was sealed, spiritual energy dried up, the laws shattered like a broken mirror, and the six paths of reincarnation sank into a mire. All the living beings of the Primordial Era wailed in misery, and the world became a living hell!

If the Heavenly Dao perishes, the Six Sages will perish too! The Celestial Worthy of Morality, also known as Taishang Laojun, upheld non-action but could not escape his death tribulation. The Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning drew his sword to protect the Chan Sect. The Lord of the Heavenly Palace broke free of his shackles in fury over the remnants of the Jie Sect. The Goddess Nuwa shed tears for all living beings. The two sages of the West, Jieyin and Zhunti, abandoned their schemes. For the first time, the Six Sages joined forces, their swords pointed at the Zixiao Palace. Their former master, Hongjun, had become the enemy who would destroy the world!

Even more shocking, in order to escape Hongjun's control, the Heavenly Dao summoned otherworldly demons from beyond the primordial cosmos! Powerful beings from alien universes arrived with their bizarre laws, launching an ultimate battle across the Three Realms against Hongjun and the Six Sages. Stars shattered, chaos surged, and the Primordial Universe ultimately exploded!

Amid the tide of destruction, a golden light fought against the heavens! He was Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven who once wreaked havoc in the Celestial Palace, and also the Victorious Fighting Buddha, bound by the rules of Buddhism. Seeing the people weep blood and the universe collapse, his defiant nature and compassion erupted! Using his Ruyi Jingu Bang as a shield and his spiritual stone body as a furnace, he burned away his divine blood and golden body. As the universe fell into ruin, he protected a blue star: Earth!
