Du Long transmigrates.
When he wakes, he discovers that he has become an ordinary spellcaster in the world of Journey to the West, trapped in a desperate situation. Demons threaten him from the front, immortals scheme against him from behind, and even Buddhism, which appears so compassionate, is merely a player using mortals as pawns.
But Du Long doesn’t panic.
That’s because he brought along every skill and magic treasure from the cultivation game he’d played for ten years. The Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits Transformations, the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Arts, innate spiritual treasures, acquired supreme treasures: everything he had unlocked on his game account is now his to use at will.
Before long, however, Du Long discovers something even more astonishing: this world of Journey to the West isn’t a genuine mythological realm, but a carefully staged “grand performance.” The immortals and Buddhas of Heaven have long since set the script. The birth, aging, sickness, and death of mortals, and the rise and fall of dynasties, are nothing but moves on a game board.
Sun Wukong is destined to be crushed beneath Five Elements Mountain. Tang Sanzang is destined to endure the Eighty-One Tribulations. Demons are destined to be captured or slain. Everything is under the control of the “Heavenly Dao.”
And Du Long, a transmigrator who should never have existed, is precisely the one the Heavenly Dao failed to account for.
He is the one that escaped the net.
