It turns out the Journey to the West was nothing more than a shocking plot devised by the Tathagata.
Tang Yu, a devoted fan of Journey to the West, transmigrates into Sun Wukong during the Havoc in Heaven.
Though he knows the Tathagata is trying to trick him into jumping onto his palm, he avoids the trap, only to end up trapped beneath Five Finger Mountain anyway...
The Mandate of Heaven: everything in the Three Realms must obey it.
Everything has already been arranged by the Tathagata, the most powerful being in the Three Realms. He is the one who sets the Mandate of Heaven.
Buried beneath Five Finger Mountain, Sun Wukong’s only way out is to accompany Tang Sanzang on the Journey to the West.
As they travel, Sun Wukong grows increasingly convinced that this so-called pilgrimage is merely a scheme by the Tathagata to advance Buddhism, and that every one of them is just a pawn.
Unwilling to be used, Sun Wukong joins forces with his junior brothers and eventually persuades Tang Sanzang to march on Mount Sumeru with them, exposing the Tathagata’s shocking lie at last.
This book is super beautiful and humorous. It is a rare author who writes Journey to the West clearly.
It's very well written. If you like watching Journey to the West, come and watch it, it's very different!
