“Hiss! Come and check this out! The official website of League of Legends has updated the big gift bag of a mysterious champion! It will be released one week later!”

“What?! We can finally buy that mysterious champion gift bag?!”

“I’ve saved for it for a long time now! I’ve been waiting for this new champion!”

“How come it also looks like a monkey?” The elves browsed the official website and exchanged a look when they saw the profile released on the website.

Then, they sent messages to complain to Mr. Fang. [Hey! Sir, can the game pass on the monkey?]

[🥺🥺 (*’*) Can you release another champion?]

At this moment, Xiaoyue also sent a complaining message. [Boss! This monkey doesn’t look awesome. Why don’t you release another dragon?]

[Don’t we have a dragon king already?] Mr. Fang replied.

Despite the Star Forger who was based on the oriental dragons, this little girl was still unsatisfied.

[That one is super cool! Hehe!]

“I think the shop should release a super powerful immortal.” Elder Senior Sister Yu Yin from the Heavenly Faction commented, “Every champion in League of Legends is powerful, but there aren’t powerful immortals.”

“You’re right!” The Heavenly Faction’s Eldest Senior Disciple, Zhuge Qinlong, also said, “The Shu Mountain Faction in the Legend of Sword and Fairy is indeed powerful, and their ancestral master even ascended to become an immortal, but it mainly tells the story happening in the mortal world. Why doesn’t it tell the story of their ancestral master? It would be awesome!”

“The story of the Legend of Sword and Fairy is trying to express something different.” Obviously a more observant player, Yu Yin rolled her eyes at him.

…

– In the Jiuhua City Shop –

“Qingqing, the shop will release that Journey to the West tomorrow. Are you going to watch it?” Xu Zixin asked while playing the new expansion of Dungeon Fighter Online.

“Not very interested…” She caught herself half-way during speaking since she wanted to find out what Mr. Fang was up to.

“Um…” Shen Qingqing thought for a long moment. “If the price is fair, I might try it. Anyway, we don’t have any new releases of other TV Series to look out for these couple of days.”

“You have a point.”

…

On the other hand, Su Tianji was with her favorite disciples, Fenghua and Yuexin.

“Master! Master! Are you going to watch that Journey to the West tomorrow?” Seeing that the TV Series would be released tomorrow, Fenghua asked immediately.

After all, they had many games to play and TV Series to watch, so they must make good plans with their 10-hours of online time. They had no time for TV Series that were not interesting.

Besides, the most important and urgent issue they faced was that the mortal world was about to be struck with a catastrophe. Although they didn’t know how horrifying the descending gods and immortals would be, they had seen the powers of Qi Tiandi and Carloso.

Frightened by those scenes, the players needed to use every moment they had to obtain more strength, thus having no time to watch an irrelevant TV Series.

Even though the elves, fans of beautiful scenery, entered Dungeon Fighter Online to view the world, they also had the plan to learn powerful skills after the Second Awakening.

So…

“I wouldn’t watch a monkey…” Su Tianji caught herself half-way and thought for a moment. “Ugh… hehe, I think I will try it first! Just try it!”

Even though the new TV Series looked uninteresting, Mr. Fang had always been reliable, and so had the shop.

As one of the earliest customers, Su Tianji would try the poison for the shop and the shop owner. Anyway, she might find this TV series tolerable.

Although they couldn’t imagine how a TV Series with a monkey as the main character would be interesting, they thought that it didn’t hurt to try!

They had low expectations for it, but they would do it for the sake of friendship.

After all, they had been in the shop for years; it was natural to return the favor.

…

– On the next day –

Although some people including Xiaoyue, Su Tianji, Nalan Mingxue, and Gu Tingyun had claimed that they wouldn’t watch the TV Series…

In the Canglan City Shop, the elves, the members of the knight legion, and the assassins of the Assassin Brotherhood asked upon entering the shop, “Sir, the new TV Series was released today?”

“Huh?” Dozing at the counter, Mr. Fang suddenly woke up and replied. “Didn’t you say that you wouldn’t watch it?”

Regardless if it was good or not, these people would watch the new TV Series to create momentum for it and make the shop owner happy.

The elves had bought several Labor Day Gift Bags yesterday and heard that the bonus rewards were things the old players had been dreaming about but couldn’t buy!

We must be nice to the shop owner for that, right?

Therefore, they came over to show their support.

Of course, they couldn’t admit it to the shop owner. Otherwise, it would be humiliating for him to know that these people only watched his new TV Series just to do him a favor.

These groups of viewers denied, “We thought about it yesterday, and we think that this TV Series is quite novel. Hehe… we’ll try it!”

As if they were afraid that the shop owner would see through their scheme, they trotted over to the computers with flushed faces.

“These people…?” Mr. Fang looked in the direction that they took off to and scratched his head in bafflement.

Soon, some old customers in the old shops and some customers in the new shop began to watch Journey to the West either with a cup of Cappuccino or a bowl of instant noodles.

“Hundun wasn’t divided, and the world was in a mess. Everything was blurry, and no human could be seen.”

[TL Note: Hundun means primordial and central chaos in Chinese Mythology.]

“When Pangu broke the dense hundun apart, the pure and turbid could be distinguished from that moment on.”

[TL Note: Pangu is the first living being and the creator of all in some versions of Chinese mythology.]

“Every creature should be thankful to the world that birthed them, and Pangu earned a lot of merits for creating all things in the world.”

“If you want to know how the cycles of life work, you need to read the Journey to the West.”

Following Pangu’s construction of the world, the rule of the Three Sovereigns, and the laws of the Five Emperors, the world was divided into four great continents. They were the East Purvavideha Continent, the West Aparagodaniya Continent, the South Jambudvipa Continent, and the North Uttarakuru Continent.

[TL Note: These are the four ancient continents in Chinese Buddhism.]

[TL Note: The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were two groups of mythological rulers or deities in ancient northern China.]

The people in this world didn’t know the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, but the brief introduction summarized the ancient history of the whole world including the different continents and the achievements of Pangu as well as Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

The scene before them showed a great ocean with surging waves and weird-shaped boulders on a sharp and strange cliff.

Like an excellent painter, the story presented the key points of the entire history of the world and the vast universe to the viewers with only a few strokes.

“How is it? Is it good?” Some people were watching while standing behind the viewers. They didn’t have high hopes for this TV Series but still felt curious.

No one answered them.

They were quietly appreciating the picturesque scenes before them.

The story returned to the immortal mountain. On the mountain was an immortal stone, and on the stone were nine perforations and eight holes which corresponded to the Nine Palaces and the Eight Trigrams. Nourished by the essence of the sun and the moon, it gradually grew a spirit.

After many years of nourishment, it split open one day and gave birth to a stone monkey…

“This…?!” The elves covered their mouths with their hands while gasping, having never seen such a miracle before.

The cultivators and warriors in Jiuhua City were even more astonished.

The beams of golden light shooting from its eyes even disturbed the Celestial Jade Emperor in Heaven. Then, the viewers watched as it leaped into the Water Curtain Cave and received the loyalty of the other monkeys, becoming the Monkey King.

The viewers exclaimed, “Is this really a monkey…?!”

They recalled the trailer that they had watched and began to connect information such as the Flower-Fruit Mountain and the Water Curtain Cave.

Now looking at the Water Curtain Cave in the Flower-Fruit Mountain, they felt like the Monkey King…

“F*ck!?” Instantly, they felt like they had fallen into a deep pit.

“Where’s the next episode? Is there more?!”
