After transmigrating into the world of Journey to the West, I became the leader of the main cast: Tang Sanzang?
What? The Great Sage Equal to Heaven, who once wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, died for good in the end; Zhu Bajie was made the Clean Altar Messenger, whose job is to eat leftovers; General Rolling Curtain, Sha Wujing, is an arhat; and the White Dragon Horse is a lucky charm wrapped around a pillar in the main hall.
Excellent. I am Tang Sanzang: the one who buries gods, Buddhas, and heaven and earth.
What? Tathagata, you’re not convinced? Take a good slap first, then we’ll talk. Jade Emperor, that throne of yours looks pretty nice, all glittering gold. Great, I’ll take a seat.
I must say, Bodhisattva Guanyin still has quite a bit of charm. What? You want to cry? No. Hold it in.
From now on, there’s a new rule: I, Tang Sanzang, call the shots in the primordial world. Old Hongjun, you don’t like it? Then I’ll beat you until you do.
