[Rebirth, Journey to the West, Tang Sanzang, two Buddhas…]
I, Tang Sanzang, bury the heavens, the earth, and all living things…
I was unexpectedly reborn in the world of Journey to the West. Memories awakened early after ten cycles of reincarnation, and their collision gave birth to a new personality…
I waited for nine lifetimes! Do you know what I went through in those nine lifetimes?
I was born, died, and reincarnated over and over. I was a monk for nine lifetimes. At first, I didn’t even know how to read. Now I can read Buddhist scriptures in Sanskrit.
In one lifetime after another, I rose from novice monk all the way to holy monk!
Do you know how much I suffered?
Why doesn’t the promise we made back then count?
Why do I still have to go on a pilgrimage for scriptures? Why can’t I just become a Buddha? Why go back on your word?
Tathagata! Give me back what’s mine!
[A Journey to the West fanfic. If anything differs from Journey to the West, this novel takes precedence.
Additional setting: Golden Cicada restored to its original place. (After ten cycles of reincarnation, the Golden Cicada returns to its original place. Its original body, sealed in the Eighteenth Level of Hell, automatically returns to its proper place. By absorbing incense offerings, spiritual energy, and the like, it can restore its strength.)]
It is an above-average Journey to the West novel
