Qin Feng, an ordinary fishing enthusiast in modern society, was struck by lightning and transmigrated into the world of Journey to the West, where mythology and rules intertwine. He started out penniless, but was bound to an [Anti-Buddhism Preaching System]. The System gave him a shabby sect on a desolate mountain, consisting of just one gate and one hall, along with an ability that was practically a cheat code: [Lies Become Truth]. Any “fact” he stated with absolute conviction would temporarily be recognized as true by the rules of the world within a certain range. However, the power of his lies depended on the number and strength of his “believers” (disciples), and there was a risk that higher-level rules could see through them.
The System’s main quest was clear and insane: establish a sect, recruit disciples far and wide, spread the “Hongmeng Daoist Tradition,” and ultimately overthrow Western Buddhism’s dominant position in this world, changing the calamity of Journey to the West. Knowing the script by heart, Qin Feng set his sights on the area beneath Five Elements Mountain. Facing Sun Wukong, who had been trapped for over four hundred years, he said with a “sincere” expression, “Wukong, I am the Lord of the Hongmeng Dao, and I have come to save you. Do you know you were reincarnated from the Chaos Demon Ape, and that cultivating Buddhist techniques is cutting off your own future? Only the Great Dao of Hongmeng under my tutelage can restore your ancestors’ glory, let you punch your way through Mount Ling and kick your way into Heaven!” With the System’s ability backing him up, this earth-shattering lie actually shook Sun Wukong’s Daoist heart. Half convinced, he became Qin Feng’s disciple.
With “Lies Become Truth” at his disposal, Qin Feng began his “fraudulent” disciple-recruitment journey. To Yang Jian, he said, “There’s more to your mother’s story. The Jade Emperor is just a puppet, and the real mastermind is...” To the bewildered Little White Dragon, he said, “Buddhism is humiliating the Dragon Clan by making you a mount. Cultivate the Hongmeng Dragon Transformation Art with me, and you can evolve into the Chaos Ancestral Dragon!”
