(This book follows the original Journey to the West, not the 1986 TV adaptation or the Investiture of the Gods characterizations from the Primordial Chaos genre.) Yun Shan, a modern office worker, was accidentally swept into a temporal maelstrom by a spell cast by the Daoist Three Pure Ones and transmigrated into the world of Journey to the West.
He was reborn as the last pure-blooded descendant of the Long-Armed Apes on Flower-Fruit Mountain. A descendant of General Beng and General Ba, he happened to arrive just as Flower-Fruit Mountain's spiritual leyline shattered. None of the three generations of Long-Armed Apes could awaken their innate divine abilities, leaving them no choice but to hide in the mountains and cling to life.
Just as Yun Shan was feeling helpless, the Three Realms Sky Screen System suddenly bound itself to him.
He edited videos and projected them onto the sky screen, making them resound throughout the Three Realms and all the heavens.
As Yun Shan called out the hapless and tore away Buddhism's hypocritical mask, he awakened the supreme talents of the Long-Armed Ape: grasping the sun and moon, shrinking a thousand mountains, and manipulating the cosmos. He would protect Flower-Fruit Mountain and overturn the game of Journey to the West.
