[Black Myth] [Journey to the West]
The Buddha’s lamp has gone dark, all gods bow their heads, reincarnation has collapsed, and Heaven and Earth have lost their virtue.
“That staff technique has a bit of the Great Sage’s old flair.”
The Great Sage? Sun Juechen is confused.
“Where is the Great Sage?”
“Dead a long time ago. He died when the heavenly army surrounded him, and the monsters got all six of his senses.”
Sun Juechen is completely baffled. Wasn’t the Great Sage Equal to Heaven supposed to become the Victorious Fighting Buddha and receive worship at Spirit Mountain? How did he fall?
The Buddha is dead, and a fake Buddha transformed from the Yellowbrowed Monster sits at Spirit Mountain?
After Ksitigarbha disappeared, has reincarnation become so chaotic that the living remember their past lives and evil ghosts fight over food in the mortal world?
Why have the gods and Buddhas who once protected all living beings either become demons fighting over spiritual essence or hidden in the clouds, afraid to show themselves?
And is the “broken mountain” where he’s staying actually Flower-Fruit Mountain?
The old monkey flicks his tail. “If you want to save the Great Sage, then go.”
Sun Juechen points at himself. Go save the Great Sage? Me?
And why is the Heavenly Court recruiting soldiers at Flower-Fruit Mountain? Are monkey soldiers all the rage now, or are they just more cost-effective?
