The second stage of fission in the world of Journey to the West.
The Tathagata Buddha returned after five hundred years away from Lingshan Mountain, and came to the three realms with the new Buddhist teaching "Escape from the Golden Cicada". He bluntly stated that freedom is the source of suffering, and is willing to exchange eternal peace for the right of all living beings to give up their choices. The ultimate game between freedom and order, pain and perfection begins.
Sun Wukong transforms into a staunch defender of freedom, standing side by side with Jin Chanzi who awakens the memory of his past life, and exposes the truth about Tathagata's "perfect world" - it is just a gentle shackles that erases the soul. Nezha angrily resisted his defined destiny, but Yang Jian chose to stand on the neutral side and built a protected area for the three worlds to watch. The former allies' ideas fission, and the hero's camp fell apart.
Discussing the value of pain and choice from a distance, the Battle of Chang'an witnessed the tragic sacrifice of a mortal emperor, Tathagata used rules as a blade, Wukong used stories as a shield, and the collision of the two worldviews tore apart the three realms. The golden light of Lingshan continues to spread, the battle flag of Huaguo Mountain is always high, and Yang Jian's lighthouse stands alone on the edge. The creatures in the three worlds are forced to make a choice between the peaceful puppet life and the painful free existence.
When Tathagata's golden cicada plan quietly takes root, when the story seeds left by the Qingfeng boy sprout in the corner, the fissured three realms finally usher in the moment of reshaping. In this smokeless battle of ideas, will rules swallow up freedom, or will life eventually break through the shackles and find its own way out?
