After returning from the pilgrimage, Sun Wukong is honored as the Victorious Fighting Buddha. But the Heavenly Court’s reformists and Buddhism’s “divine job reassignment program” kick him back down to the mortal world for more training. It’s his first time setting foot among mortals in five hundred years, and he discovers the place is now full of “high-tech.” His golden cudgel nearly pierces a high-voltage power line, and people mistake his somersault cloud for a drone. Broke and desperate to earn enough “merit KPIs” to report back to Heaven, he picks up a phone and starts livestreaming. He only means to take it easy, but his fiery golden eyes spot the serpent demon hiding behind an influencer’s sweet, innocent act. One casual swing of his cudgel turns him into the internet’s one and only “live demon hunter.” From then on, all three realms are shaken, his viewership explodes, and the gods and Buddhas line up to descend to the mortal world and become influencer agents.
Come on, come on, come on
