Heaven is not a pure land, and spiritual mountains also hide shadows.
When the "eclipse light", which symbolizes devouring and assimilation, descends from the upside-down Magic Mirror City, the Three Realms fall into an unprecedented catastrophe. Xuanzang, the Tang monk who was reincarnated by Jin Chan, had a strange "Abyss Eye" sealed in his right hand that could swallow up the light. He was ordered to embark on the westward journey to obtain scriptures in order to collect the "Immortal Mantra Sutra" and restart the "Nine-Yao Star Pivot" that protects the three realms.
The disciples he conquered all had secrets: Wukong, whose memory had been tampered with, and who held the magical ruler of the world; Bajie, who fell to the mortal world after witnessing the pollution of the Milky Way, and wore an earring to warn Liuli; and Sha Monk, who was really a remnant of Jingyuan and used Ye Ji's earth veins to prevent mutations.
This westbound road is filled with evil spirits and human hearts that have been distorted by light, and is intertwined with lies and betrayal. With the shocking truth revealed by the "Maitreya Mirror" - that the high-level officials of Heaven are the initiators of the light-eclipse disaster - the team's faith collapsed, and differences suddenly emerged on the way forward.
They finally discovered that what they were fighting against was far from the demons, but the "gods" themselves that had been deeply integrated with the light and towered in the sky. The real price of restarting the "Nine Lights Star Hub" is the guardian's eternal lonely exile.
