    This is not a serious history book! It adapts the historical events of Zheng He's seven voyages to the Western Ocean into a "Journey to the West at Sea"—the eunuch Zheng He transforms into a "demon nemesis," leading a 30,000-strong army and a thousand treasure ships, accompanied by Buddhist master Jin Bifeng (the reincarnation of Dipankara Buddha) and Taoist master Zhang Tianshi, to venture straight into the Western Ocean! From the soft oceans and weak waters to the underworld and hell, from capturing monsters with phoenix eggs to exchanging luminous pearls for peace, demons and monsters from 39 countries take turns staging a "battle of the gods": Buddhist verses versus talismans, Bodhisattvas versus sea monsters, and even the Yongle Emperor becomes the reincarnation of Xuanwu Zhenjun! The book also subtly exposes the harsh realities of Ming Dynasty office workers: civil officials are cowardly and afraid of death, military generals are only good at slacking off, and it's all thanks to a group of "temporary" gods who carry the entire operation!
