[Purely Handcrafted] [Achieve Sainthood Through Merit] [The Monkey Is My Brother] [The "Sage" in Great Sage Equal to Heaven Means a Sage, Right?]
Also known as The Great Sage Sent Me to Patrol the Mountain, So I Can Catch an Immortal and Beg for Alms and Don't You Want to Make Sure No One Gets More Merit Than You?
Li Mu transmigrates into Journey to the West and becomes sworn brothers with the Great Sage. Though he knows the script, he still can't escape being manipulated.
At a moment of crisis, he binds himself to a BGM System. Play a song, and Brother Monkey gets stronger?
Can he take part in the entire calamity of Journey to the West and siphon off merit?
But activating this merit-siphoning module takes a lot of effort. He even considers finding the Six-Eared Macaque early and having him take Brother Monkey's place in the tribulation.
Wait, what do you mean by a variable in the calamity? If I help Brother Monkey get stronger, I can share in the merit?
And the more someone helps, the more merit they get from the calamity?
So Li Mu works both sides and welcomes everyone, building relationships with gods and Buddhas throughout the heavens.
"Brother Monkey! Here's today's haul. Hurry up and refine it. I'll go beg for alms again tomorrow!"
When Journey to the West ends, boundless merit descends. The gods and Buddhas across the heavens are stunned. Why is there so little?
Li Mu: "Sorry about that. Everyone gets a share, everyone gets a share!"
The Great Sage alone receives half the merit and achieves sagehood on the spot.
The Golden Cudgel points straight at the Heavenly Dao: "Hey, old Heavenly Dao! What about my brother's share?"
