Reborn as Sun Wukong: A Wrong Turn Into the Celestial Court

[Journey to the West + Dragon Ball + Naruto + Marvel + DC + A Song of Ice and Fire + Middle-earth + Warhammer 40,000, and more] Seriously ill and beyond treatment, modern-day Sun Wukong unexpectedly transmigrates into the world of Journey to the West, where he becomes a born stone monkey and awakens a System that lets him travel through the Myriad Worlds and rapidly grow stronger. He plans to use his knowledge of the story to avoid the fated events of Havoc in Heaven, being imprisoned beneath Five Elements Mountain, and the Journey to the West, so he can cultivate in peace and live freely.

But once he delves into the Three Realms, he discovers that this so-called “fate” is merely what the beings of the Three Realms want, driven by their tangled interests. The Celestial Court needs a “rebellion” to restore order, the gods need a “rebel” to divert conflict, and even the forces lurking in the shadows are fanning the flames, determined to force him onto that destined path.

If he can’t avoid it, then he won’t!

“So you all want me to wreak havoc in Heaven, huh? Then I’ll give you a real show!”

Taking a page from Hai Rui of the Ming dynasty, he writes a Journey to the West version of the Memorial on Public Order and presents it before everyone at Lingxiao Palace. Every word cuts to the bone, condemning the Jade Emperor’s incompetence, the Celestial Court’s decay, and the injustice of the gods throughout the Three Realms.

The memorial leaves the Celestial Court in deathly silence.

The Jade Emperor flies into a rage and smashes his throne. “Rebellion! Rebellion! Seize him! Catch that monkey for me! Don’t let him get away!”

The assembled immortals and gods drop to their knees in unison, trembling with fear.

But once his fury passes, the Jade Emperor is left so enraged he can barely stand. His face twists with bitter mockery and despair. “Heroes... I do love a hero. The Three Realms must have been waiting for a lawless monkey like this to stand up, curse me, and force me to abdicate...”

From that moment on, the Journey to the West plot goes completely off the rails.
