The pilgrimage for the scriptures was a fraud. The Investiture of the Gods was a conspiracy.
I was once the Curtain-Raising General and a Golden Arhat, yet I couldn’t even protect the mortal woman I loved most. I could only watch as her soul was scattered into oblivion.
I thought I had accepted my fate, enduring torment beneath the Flowing Sands River and escorting Tang Sanzang in the hope of earning forgiveness.
Until I saw with my own eyes the Buddhas chant spells and crush my eldest brother into a stone monkey!
Until I experienced my master sacrificing himself to save me, entering nirvana and transforming into a sarira!
Until I returned to life in another body, awakening in the form of the son I had never met and inheriting his burning hatred for those who murdered his mother!
From this moment on, I am no longer Sha Wujing.
I will make it so the heavens can never again block my sight!
I will make every Buddha vanish into nothingness!
I will tear down the Hall of the Divine Mists!
