I Just Transmigrated into Journey to the West, and Buddhism Is Forcing Me to Be Meng De

[Journey to the West] [System] [Power Fantasy] [Defying Fate] [Supreme Legacy]

I transmigrated into Journey to the West and stumbled straight into the scene of Tang Sanzang's parents being murdered!

[Ding! System binding successful! A pivotal event in Journey to the West's calamity has been detected: The Top Scholar Thrown into the River!]

[Your exclusive opening mission has been generated. Host, choose one of three options!]

[Option One: Follow Heaven's Will. Assist Liu Hong. Reward: One pot of Nine-Turn Golden Elixirs!]

[Option Two: Defy Heaven's Will. Kill Liu Hong. Reward: Ten drops of Pangu's blood essence!]

[Option Three: Take His Place. Assume Liu Hong's identity. Reward: An unknown Supreme Treasure Chest!]

What was there to choose? Pangu's blood essence would let me reach the heavens in a single leap!

I immediately became an agent of justice and took down the boatman Liu Hong and Li Biao with two swift strikes.

But just as I was about to claim my reward, a vast will descended!

[Ding! System assessment... Host has already completed Option Three: Take His Place!]

[Unknown Supreme Treasure Chest reward has been issued!]

Me: "???"

Wait, so the Buddhist sect can't take a joke?
