Chen Shuo, a master's degree student in modern sociology, stayed up late to write a paper titled "On the Theocratic Structure and Social Stratification of the World of Journey to the West" when his vision went dark and he was transported back to the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty.
But he did not become Tang Monk, nor did he become Wukong. Instead, he became the little god in a dilapidated earth temple on the outskirts of Chang'an, the earth god.
Just when he thought he was going to live a simple life of "living on a subsistence allowance" from now on, he discovered that the truth of the world of Journey to the West is far from as simple as the novel:
The execution of the Dragon King of Jinghe River was a well-planned "killing of chickens to scare monkeys"; Sun Wukong, who was trapped under the Five Elements Mountain, was enslaved by the six-character mantra day and night; and the owner of the longevity tablet enshrined in his ruined temple was actually a great shaman of the Wu clan who disappeared thousands of years ago.
Chen Shuo originally wanted to protect himself wisely, but he found that the catastrophe of the Three Realms was approaching, and there was a gap in the way of heaven. In order to fill the gap, Lingshan and Tianting planned to use the name of Journey to the West to sacrifice hundreds of millions of living beings in Nanzhan Continent and refine the "Heaven Mender".
When the Tathagata's palm that covered the sky and the sun covered the city of Chang'an, Chen Shuo kicked over the incense table in front of him.
Damn Mingzhe to protect yourself!
Since you sent me to this chess game, don't blame me for overturning it!
