Breaking the genre ceiling, this is not a simple time travel novel, it uses deconstructing classics to interrogate classics.
Act One: Rules Break Down
· The opening high-concept scene: Sun Wukong awakens his memory under the Five Elements Mountain and discovers that Guanyin's tightening curse is actually the "source code"
· The first time travel was accidentally triggered to Jingyanggang in "Water Margin". Wu Song defeated the tiger and turned into a tiger spirit to ask Sun Wukong for justice.
· Key foreshadowing: Bai Longma spoke and revealed that "the universe of masterpieces is merging"
Act Two: The Butterfly Effect
· "Three Kingdoms" Red Cliff Battlefield: Sun Wukong taught Zhuge Liang to call for wind and rain, but found that the east wind was Zhuge Liang's undead magic
· "Red Mansions" Grand View Garden: Tang Monk was forced to join the Haitang Poetry Society, and Daiyu's tears could temporarily seal Sun Wukong's magic power.
· Mid-level crisis: The original guardian "Tai Shi Gong" (abstract entity) begins to hunt down the saboteurs
Act Three: The truth peels back
· Discovered that time travel is the mental prison of four famous authors - Wu Chengen, Cao Xueqin and others are playing games in a higher dimension
· The essence of the journey is "a repair procedure to maintain the stability of the narrative"
· Zhu Bajie said the key line in the land of daughters: "Are we characters, or are we souls trapped by characters?"
Act Four: Reconstruction or Destruction
· The final battlefield is the "literal abyss" at the intersection of the four classics
· Choice: Reset everything and return to the original work, or tear the script apart and gain freedom (but it may lead to the death of the classic)
· Blank ending: The five masters and apprentices choose to become "travelers" and continue traveling at the edge of the page.
