When he woke up, Chen Yi found that he had become Tang Sanzang who was about to embark on the journey of seeking Buddhist scriptures. Before he had time to adapt, he was swallowed up by the blood and fire of Jinshan Temple.
This is not the Journey to the West that he is familiar with, but a desperate purgatory where immortals and Buddhas use ordinary people as chess pieces and demons feed on flesh and blood.
Here, seeking scriptures is a scam to whitewash peace, the Buddhas in the sky are the biggest lie, and the ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties are an exchange of benefits to eliminate dissidents.
Holding the "Eye of Destroying Illusions" that can discern cause and effect, Chen Yi tore up compassion and proved Taoism through killing.
When Sun Wukong is still struggling under the Five Elements Mountain, when the truth about Jin Chanzi emerges, when the final reckoning comes——
"Since the gods and Buddhas are unfair, then I will save the gods and Buddhas."
What he wants to do is not to be a learner, but to be the terminator who overturns the chess table and crushes the spiritual mountain.
