I, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Have Returned

The journey west has ended, and the four disciples have been honored at Spirit Mountain, but the struggle between Buddhism and Daoism is far from over. War rages across the land, demons run rampant, and frozen corpses lie everywhere. People look up, but the invincible Great Sage Equal to Heaven they once knew is nowhere to be seen. Only the Buddha Victorious in Strife remains, indifferent to worldly affairs.

"You old Buddha, you said that obtaining the scriptures would bring peace and prosperity to the world. What a joke! Look at the mess you've made. Today, I'll tear this Spirit Mountain down!"

A different Journey to the West, and the Great Sage Equal to Heaven's path to redemption.
