Ye Wuchen transmigrates to the world of Journey to the West with his phone. Through a series of misunderstandings, he frees Sun Wukong from beneath the Five Elements Mountain and is forced to take his place on the journey to the West.
The world of Journey to the West is no natural cycle ordained by Heaven, but a grand conspiracy jointly laid by the Celestial Court and Spirit Mountain. On the surface, Tang Sanzang journeys west to obtain the scriptures and save all living beings. In reality, Buddhism is expanding its influence, the Celestial Court is purging dissenters, and the pilgrimage is being used to harvest the fortunes of the Three Realms, suppress native demon clans and unaffiliated cultivators, and turn all living beings into pawns. Many of the demons and calamities along the way are deliberate arrangements.
When Ye Wuchen first transmigrates to the world of Journey to the West, his phone has only WeChat installed, and the shopkeeper of the convenience store downstairs is his sole contact. He sells modern goods from the store through his phone to make money, then buys equipment from the shopkeeper. By steadily accumulating resources, he grows stronger, builds his own power, breaks the oppression of the old order, reshapes the Three Realms, and makes his way through the world of Journey to the West.
