There is no compassion here to save all living beings, only gods and Buddhas greedily sucking up the offerings of incense.
Five hundred years ago, the havoc in Heaven was a carefully orchestrated sacrifice. Five hundred years later, the journey west to obtain the scriptures is an even filthier conspiracy.
Sun Wukong, the one freed from beneath Five Elements Mountain, is no hero, but a weapon of slaughter set loose. He will crush everything in his path, whether demons or immortals, unaware that every life he takes adds merit to the mastermind behind it all.
Yang Jian, whose Heavenly Eye sees through the ugliness of the Three Realms, has uncovered this vast scheme. He walks the line between the Heavenly Court and forces beyond the realms, balancing loyalty against betrayal as he tries to tear a gap in the web woven by the gods.
Jin Chanzi reborn? A tool for atonement.
Tianpeng and Juanlian? Informed witnesses cast into exile.
The White Dragon? A hostage held as collateral.
When Wukong's golden cudgel smashes the skulls of “demons,” whose scapegoats is he really killing? When Yang Jian's three-pointed, double-edged spear faces the demons from beyond the realms, what kind of rotten order is he protecting?
In this incense-fueled asura battlefield, where all living beings are mere kindling, can two pawns overturn the game?
See how gods and Buddhas fall, and hear the tragic songs of demons.
This is a dark epic of betrayal, scheming, and struggle.
