When Monkey King became a consumable, a useless monkey who had been protected by a shield for twelve years came to the truth.
Monkeys were sacrificed to "mountain gods", spiritual fruits rotted, streams dried up, and petrified old monkeys were recycled into building materials. The legendary hometown of Monkey King has become a cemetery of slow death.
Li Xin - a twelve-year-old monkey who was fed by his parents and had never stepped out of the aura shield - found himself nothing on the day the shield shattered.
He was the one who slipped through the net in Linggasi's experiment. The waste of the Sky Mending Stone bloodline. The most useless burden in Huaguoshan.
But he was also the only one who saw the spiritual energy network.
Along the old road heading west, Li Xin entered a world that had been completely overturned: Sun Wukong was not a hero, but a "spiritual pivot container" with a purity of 97%; taking scriptures was not a salvation, but the largest spiritual energy harvesting plan in the three realms; and under the lotus platform of Lingshan, countless lives were burning that were used as fuel.
He met the White Bone Demon who had been killed three times, Sha Wujing who had stood in the river for three thousand years, the Red Boy who shouted "Mother" in the fire, the spider spirit who was controlled by runes, the Jade Rabbit who pretended to be a princess, and the bandit member who had done fake good deeds for three thousand years... Every "monster" transformed by the Linggao Division was a designed chess piece.
Li Xin has no strength, no weapons, only a fragment of the golden hoop and a pair of eyes that can see the truth.
He will not save everyone. He could only remember them.
This is not a heroic story.
This is a story about "remembering".
When you cannot break the cage, remember the people in the cage, remember their names, remember that they lived - this is the smallest and most indelible resistance.
