From the start, Yan Zhi transmigrated as a drop of Three Lights Divine Water and nearly got eaten by a rat. He was the good-for-nothing of all good-for-nothings.
After taking human form, the family that adopted him was killed by demons. He joined Mount Fangcun as the junior disciple and set out to cultivate immortality, seek the Dao, and avenge them. Then he awakened the Fortune Alliance: staying beside a child of fortune would make his cultivation twice as effective.
He became Wukong's senior brother, even picking peaches for him and sewing his clothes. The little monkey was raised well.
Unexpectedly, he was trapped while gathering herbs outside. By the time he returned, everything had changed, and the monkey had been imprisoned beneath Five Elements Mountain.
He refused to accept fate and went straight to rescue the monkey, only to be hunted by the gods and Buddhas of heaven. He died!
The world collapsed. When he started over, he obtained a supreme treasure and helped the Great Sage defy fate, disrupting the Journey to the West. The Buddha intervened personally!
He died!
When he revived for the third time, the Journey to the West had already ended, and the Great Sage Equal to Heaven had become the Victorious Fighting Buddha.
He refused to accept it. In this life, he would take things slowly, join the Heavenly Court, stir up a conflict between Buddhism and Daoism, fish in troubled waters, and rebel against Heaven!
