Within the Three Realms, everything has a lifespan.
Immortals, gods, Buddhas, demons, without exception.
The so-called immortality is never obtained through cultivation.
It is a bloody game that plunders the origins of mortals and monopolizes the resources of the world.
The flat peach absorbs the longevity of mortals, and the golden elixir refines the soul.
The ginseng fruit breeds resentment in the baby, and the demon eats people in order to survive.
The Heavenly Court monopolizes the flat peaches, the Taoist sect controls the golden elixir, and the Buddhist sect controls the Eastern Territory.
All the forces are fighting for immortality, and they are deceiving each other, and blood is flowing like a river.
The ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties are not about cultivation or going through tribulations.
It is a power struggle, power reshuffle, and profit sharing around longevity resources.
Sun Wukong walked out of Huaguo Mountain just for a chance of survival.
But step by step, the darkest truth of Journey to the West is revealed:
Immortals eat people, demons eat people, Buddhas eat people, all three realms eat people.
Subvert all your understanding of Journey to the West!
The production of flat peaches is reduced, and the three realms are reshuffled; the eighty-one difficulties are all chess games.
We have read decades of Buddhist scripture-seeking stories. It turns out that Buddhism has never been a path of spiritual practice to save all sentient beings. It is a battlefield for power among the four parties of heaven, Buddhism, Taoism, and human emperors.
The gods and Buddhas in the sky are vying for supremacy in the East Earth Incense. In the end, it is never Lingshan Tathagata who has the final say. It is the mortal emperor in Chang'an City who has no magic power.
