Xing Yan transmigrates as Patriarch Bodhi, opening his eyes to find himself on the original story’s track.
The System threatens him: “Teach Sun Wukong within three days, or you’ll be formatted.”
Xing Yan laughs.
In his previous life, he was a top programmer who specialized in exploiting system vulnerabilities.
To him, this primordial world is just lines and lines of code.
So...
He writes a backdoor into the Golden Cudgel, and the monkey knocks a 404 error into the Southern Heavenly Gate.
He plants a Trojan in Guanyin’s Pure Bottle. When she sprinkles its water, a pop-up appears: “Please recharge your faith points.”
He changes the encryption algorithm on Five Finger Mountain into a recursive infinite loop. Tathagata raises a hand, and the mountain collapses under the weight of stacking itself over and over.
When Heaven’s Will can take no more and brings down its ultimate antivirus thunderbolt...
Xing Yan doesn’t dodge. He pulls out a line of glowing code:
if(Heaven's Will==IDIOT){printf("You're crashing");}
The entire primordial world freezes.
[Warning: Unknown permissions detected...]
[Heaven's Will core protocol is being rewritten...]
[Formatting countdown: 10, 9, 8, ]
Xing Yan presses Enter.
“This season of Journey to the West,” he says, watching the world begin to crash, “I’ll write the script myself.”
