Transforming into twin actresses, offering a glimpse into the cutthroat world of entertainment.

……

Some people read very quickly. Over the next two days, many people finished reading "Journey to the West." Not only did they finish reading it, they also posted comments online.

For a while.

The online buzz surrounding "Journey to the West" continues to rise!

Chapter 404 Journey to the West Rewritten: All Things Are Tragic!

"I thought I was just opening a fantasy web novel, but it turned out to be a contemporary classic! And this is enough for the teacher to say I wasn't studying properly and was just slacking off by reading novels?"

"A book comparable to the Investiture of the Gods has appeared in the Journey to the West world, after the primordial world!"

"I never imagined that one day I would fall in love with a monkey!"

"Sun Wukong is so cool! He can do seventy-two transformations in a somersault and has a big staff. I really want to have a baby with my husband."

"This is Youmingyue's best work, an absolute masterpiece! In the four members of the Journey to the West, you can find more or less your own shadow: rebellious like Sun Wukong, smooth like Zhu Bajie, suffering like Sha Wujing, persistent like Tang Sanzang... A person's life is condensed in this book."

"From the Monkey King to the Victorious Fighting Buddha, it is actually a process of compromise after a person recognizes the reality of society!"

"Journey to the West is amazing! The Ghost Moon is terrifying!"

"The Emperor of Heavenly Scrolls truly lives up to his name. This time, he's unleashed a novel of the highest caliber. Who else can compare?"

"..."

Online, readers are posting comments.

Just like on Earth, most people's favorite character in "Journey to the West" is Sun Wukong.

This character is so charismatic that it's hard not to love her.

Of course, there were also discussions about other characters, but they were all positive or negative.

"Tang Sanzang is too saintly. Knowing they were robbers, he still advised his eldest disciple to hold back. Does that mean the lives of those who die at the hands of robbers are not lives?"

“He really is, I’m going to cry my eyes out. If something’s wrong, good disciple; if nothing’s wrong, you little rascal.”

"The prototype of Tang Sanzang should be the famous Buddhist monk Master Xuanzang during the Tang Dynasty, right? His disciple had an affair with Princess Gaoyang and was then killed by Emperor Taizong."

"Anyway, I don't like the Tang Monk in the book."

"He does have one redeeming quality: as a mere mortal, he persevered on his journey to the West to retrieve the Buddhist scriptures, a journey fraught with demons. This unwavering determination is truly remarkable!"

"..."

Compared to Tang Sanzang, Zhu Bajie was treated much better.

Although this pig is lazy and loves to eat, and often wants to go back to Gao Lao Zhuang, he vividly demonstrates in the book what a "pig teammate" is, someone who can't be carried.

But actually, not many people dislike him.

People all aspire to live like Sun Wukong, but unknowingly, they end up living like Zhu Bajie.

Greedy.

Lustful.

be lazy.

Homebody.

sleek.

Of the four members of the pilgrimage group, "Pigsy" is actually the most human.

As for Sha Wujing, there is very little discussion about him.

The most lasting impression people had of him, besides him diligently picking out his luggage, was just a few words he uttered:

"Senior Brother, something terrible has happened! Master has been captured by a monster!"

"Eldest brother, something terrible has happened! Master and second brother have been captured by a monster!"

"..."

Its presence is incredibly low.

White Horse Dragon's presence is even less noticeable; he appears very rarely in the book.

Of course, many book fans also like goddesses, fairies, and demons.

In summary, they like beautiful women!

Examples include Guanyin Bodhisattva, Chang'e, the Jade Rabbit Spirit, the Queen of the Women's Kingdom, the Scorpion Spirit, the Spider Spirit, and so on.

The female demons inspire all sorts of fantasies, and many people wish they could become the Monkey King and give them a proper whack with his staff.

Some people have also offered a deeper interpretation of Journey to the West:

"The entire background of Journey to the West is actually a reflection of the feudal dynasty. For example, the Heavenly Court is the imperial court during the feudal period, and Sun Wukong is the one who started the rebellion."

"Why was Sun Wukong so powerful when he wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, but became so weak later on? It's because he was dawdling. He knew that most of those monsters were sent by Buddha to test them, and there wasn't much danger involved."

"The entire Journey to the West is a trap! It was set up by the bigwigs from both Buddhism and Taoism!"

"Those monsters with powerful connections are all safe and sound, just like today's cronies and second- or third-generation rich kids, while the monsters without connections are all killed, just like us ordinary people. It's ironic! Tell me, is this novel really just a mythological fantasy story?"

"The demons and monsters encountered on the journey to the West are merely the inner demons of people. Why are there seven spider demons? Because they represent the seven emotions and six desires of people. The true and false Monkey Kings are just people with two minds, just like we humans all have two minds, good and evil."

"Why was the ordeal of the Women's Kingdom given to Tang Sanzang? I think it's the most difficult hurdle in the Journey to the West. Since ancient times, the ordeal of love has been the hardest to overcome. To achieve enlightenment, one must let go of love and affection. Isn't this the same as our lives? Most people are troubled by love?"

"Is it possible that the real Sun Wukong was killed by the Six-Eared Macaque, and then the Six-Eared Macaque took his place to retrieve the Buddhist scriptures? In any case, apart from a few people, no one would recognize him!"

"..."

Various interpretations have led readers who have already finished the novel to doubt whether they have read a fake book.

Even the author, You Mingyue, joined in the fun, writing a short blog post on Weibo titled "Journey to the West Rewritten, Everything is Tragic".

Rewrite Journey to the West in reverse.

This was actually a trend that once arose in China.

"The Buddha wanted to compete with the Taoist sect, so he sent Tang Sanzang and his disciples to spread the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures in the East. Along the way, they slew demons and made countless contributions. However, when they were about to reach the Tang Dynasty in the East, the Jing River Dragon King was punished for protecting the aquatic creatures, and the White Dragon was punished and imprisoned in Eagle Sorrow Stream for saving him."

Sha Wujing and Zhu Bajie went into seclusion in Liusha River and Gao Village, respectively, while Sun Wukong was imprisoned under the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years for allegedly killing too many people.

Tang Sanzang, with his mortal body, traveled to Chang'an alone, persisted in fulfilling his mission of spreading the Dharma, and died alone.

Five hundred years later, Sun Wukong emerged from beneath the Five Elements Mountain, wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, and stormed the Lingxiao Palace. The Jade Emperor and Buddha conspired to summon Sun Wukong's former fellow disciples, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing. Unwilling to face his own kind on the battlefield, Sun Wukong crippled himself, stripped himself of his magical powers, and went into seclusion on Flower Fruit Mountain, eventually turning to stone and no longer concerning himself with the affairs of the world.

Countless people exclaimed after watching it that this is the most realistic portrayal of life.

At the same time, I was even more impressed by the twins. I never thought that this novel could be written in such a way, even backwards.

……

Regardless of the circumstances, the quality of "Journey to the West" has been unanimously recognized and praised.

Even many literary giants have written articles praising it.

“??躩该幤繥谥幤?晥纤忦踨

"Truly a masterpiece! A blessing to the Chinese literary world!"

"I witnessed history!"

"With You Mingyue's 'Journey to the West' out, there's no suspense left in this year's Yunxiao Awards!"

"The Yunxiao Award is just an embellishment to 'Journey to the West,' and its future is far more than that."

"..."

In recent days, the popularity of "Journey to the West" has remained high, and few people have noticed that on the August music charts, "Landscape Painting" has been dominating the top spot and has not been surpassed by "My Favorite".

As the clock struck midnight tonight, it marked the end of August, and the competition for the August music charts officially came to a close!

First Place: Landscape Painting

Second place: *My Favorite*

The difference between the two is only a little over two million downloads.

But a victory is a victory, and a defeat is a defeat!

P.S.: The "Number One in the World" plot will start soon. (This is a graveyard.)

Chapter 405 A Sensation! The Twins Officially Become Qu's Fathers! Queen of Heaven!

Twelve o'clock at midnight.

Magic City.

The study inside a villa was filled with smoke.

That's actually what's left after the cigarette smoke passes through the lungs and is exhaled through the mouth.

Lin Zhigang of Tianguang Entertainment didn't know how many cigarettes he had smoked. He only knew that if he didn't smoke, he couldn't vent his frustration and anger at all.

"They still dominated the rankings. It's insane! How can there be such people!" Lin Zhi said dejectedly, smoking a cigarette. His hands were trembling as he spoke, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

It's worth noting that Tianguang Entertainment spent a significant amount of resources and funds to help Tan Yong successfully secure the top spot on the August charts and ascend to the status of a superstar.
