He died tragically in nine lives and became a demon in his first life.
Tang Sanzang - the tenth generation of Jin Chanzi - woke up from the ruined temple holding an oil lamp made from the finger bones of his ninth life.
In his first nine lives, he was devoured by a group of demons, thrown into an alchemy furnace to make elixirs, and was nailed to the Lingshan Pillar and burned alive for three hundred years to make lamp oil—every life was different.
Used as chess pieces by gods and Buddhas, they are discarded after use.
In the tenth life, he stopped studying.
With the resentment accumulated in nine lifetimes, he will drag down the gods and Buddhas from the sky one by one and ask: All living beings are flesh and blood, why are you gods and we are
Food?
A soul-locking hoop cannot lock him;
A Tiangang demon-subduing formation cannot trap him;
A passing Buddha burning a lantern cannot stop him.
He said: I won't kneel anymore.
From today on, I am not a seeker - I am here to flip the table.
