The Emperor Is a Shackle on Humanity, and an Even Greater Shackle on Gods and Buddhas

Reborn as Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang, he dreamed of the vengeful spirit of the Jing River Dragon King coming to claim his life. Then the messengers of death came to drag his soul away. Only then did Li Er realize he had transmigrated straight into the world of Journey to the West. As the ruler of the mortal realm, how could Li Er accept being manipulated by the Buddhist sect? First, he smashed up the underworld. Then he slaughtered every Buddhist monk in Tang territory, not even sparing Tang Sanzang. Celestial Court: “King Tang, you dared to attack and wreck the underworld. You have committed an unforgivable crime. The Jade Emperor has decreed that no rain shall fall on Tang for three years!” Li Er: “I am the Son of Heaven. How could I not know when Heaven intends to punish us? You must be falsely claiming to speak for Heaven! Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, where are you? Slay this fiend!” “By the way, I hear the Jade Emperor has no sons. Since I am the Son of Heaven, shouldn’t I inherit the position of the Great Heavenly Venerable?” Guanyin of the Buddhist sect: “Buddhism is destined to spread east, and its rise in the Great Tang is the will of Heaven. King Tang, you defied Heaven and dared to kill Jin Chan Zi, the destined pilgrim of our Buddhist sect. How will you settle this karmic debt?” “He just ate a cicada nymph. It’s no big deal if he wasn’t pardoned. Since your Buddhist sect insists that these scriptures must be retrieved, I’ll visit Spirit Mountain in person. I hope you can handle it!” Along the way, he took three of Heaven’s most rebellious troublemakers as disciples. Three thousand Black-Armored troops and a contingent of Mo Dao warriors marched with him, followed by a heavily armored combined-arms force. The ultimate imperial weapon, the Dongfeng 5C, surged ahead toward the Great Thunderclap Temple in the Western Heaven! Passing through the various kingdoms, Li Er declared, “I have come from the Great Tang in the Eastern Land, bound for the Western Heaven to defeat the Buddha and imprison the scriptures!” The kings of the various kingdoms replied, “With power like yours, why bother retrieving scriptures? How could the Tathagata be so unreasonable? Why can’t he just send the scriptures over himself?” In this age, humanity shall rise. Even the Sages must bow their heads!
