[Journey to the West spin-off] [No System] [A smart protagonist]
Sun Wukong is dead, but he left behind an empty tomb.
Under the surface, forces stir across the Three Realms. The Lord of Inner Demons weaves an “Eternal Dreamland,” seeking to trap all beings in illusion, while ancient gods revive “Absolute Order” to format all creation.
Freedom and truth have become the world's last luxuries.
I am Sun Shouxin, the reincarnation of the “mortal heart” Sun Wukong cut away.
I have no invincible powers, only a “human heart” that can ache and lose its way.
Until the day I touched the Great Sage's tombstone and awakened the [Five Arts of the Heart's Source]:
Illuminating Spirit Eyes, able to see through all illusions and lies;
The Square-Inch Step, letting me reach wherever my thoughts go, unimpeded by time or space;
The Indestructible Heart Armor: as long as my will does not break, no magic can harm me;
All Arts at Heart's Command, letting me turn into wind, thunder, light, and shadow, and make my words come true;
The Wordless Heart Sutra, which opens a domain where all supernatural powers return to the “original heart.”
They laugh at my weakness, my naivety, and the fact that I guard nothing but a “mortal heart.”
Until I smash that perfect illusion with one kick and tell him:
“I have no use for a false perfection.”
Until I face the crushing force of the laws, defy Heaven's rules, and declare:
“What my heart chooses is my Way.”
I tread carefully through the Heavenly Court, debate the heart with Guanyin at Spirit Mountain, and argue the Way with the Tathagata;
I gather allies across the Three Realms, bringing the Dragon Clan to my side and welcoming the Demon Clan as family;
I use the “fire of the heart” to set despair ablaze, and my “sincerity” to awaken those lost in their delusions.
The inner demon wants me to sink into darkness, but I choose to feel the pain with open eyes;
Order demands my obedience, but I choose to live free.
They ask what I want, after all
In the midst of this chaos, I will prove a path to Heaven for the mortal heart!
