Monkey God Chronicles: The Soul Awakening

The Demon Monkey King Qingtian is the ruler of the Demon Realm, the King of Destruction. A legendary monkey clan warrior with blood-red demon eyes, black fur, and spider monkey blood, he hails from the Continent of the Q Kingdom and is the ninth son of Emperor Qing. As the story unfolds, he displays ever-changing forms and martial arts capable of destroying heaven and earth. He makes his mark on the world and unites the entire Demon Realm.

To obtain the power of Zhulong, the progenitor of the Dragon Clan, he wages war against him across the myriad realms for nine days and nights. When the two immense powers of Qingtian and Zhulong collide, Qingtian falls into the abyss of time and space and transmigrates to a mysterious continent called the Profound Heaven Continent.

Everyone in this world possesses a battle spirit and an elemental attribute. It is a world governed by the laws of cultivation, and it, too, has legends about the Demon Monkey King Qingtian. Reborn here, Qingtian finds that his martial arts and worldview do not fit this realm, and his mortal battle spirit is utterly useless. He later takes up photography and amateur novel writing, leading an ordinary life.

Memories of his past life occasionally surface, and he writes them into books. A business owner takes an interest in his work and proposes a partnership. Qingtian sets out with Qian, but they die when their plane crashes along the way. In the Netherworld, he clashes with the authorities and causes an uproar in the Underworld. To his surprise, the King of the Netherworld is his elder sister from his past life, Qingyao. Once she learns who he is, she helps him become a netherworld constable, transforming his battle spirit into a netherworld spirit and unlocking his former strength piece by piece. At last, he finds Zhulong, also known as Zhu Jiuyin, and launches another bloody, devastating battle.
