There is no future as a monster, and as a big brother you will have your wife and children separated. Go ashore, you must go ashore. Jiang Shan, who was first reborn as the Bull Demon King, thought so.
It was just the history of his ancestors' dozens of failed attempts to stand in line, and the fact that the Jade Emperor returned from the tribulation only to be ignored by Dou Mu Yuanjun, that made him want to cry again.
Fortunately, there were still thousands of years before the journey to the West, and his deceased father left him with the opportunity to become a disciple of Patriarch Bodhi.
Become a disciple of Bodhi and practice the secret of immortality. Waiting for the right time, you will get the immortal book in heaven. However, the final result seemed to be somewhat different from what Jiang Shan had imagined.
The Jade Emperor actually came to see him. In the end, a bunch of titles like the Prince Consort of Heaven, the Chief Assistant of Heaven, the greatest contributor to the Jade Emperor's power, and the hope of the Three Realms were inexplicably thrown on his head.
PS: The background of Journey to the West plus the setting of mountains and seas does not include the Six Saints of Hongjun. This book is also known as "The Road to Promotion of a Powerful Official in Heaven", "The Prince Consort of the Three Realms", and "The Patriarch of Bodhi: Regret on Accepting That Cow as a Disciple"
