Only I Am A Reader - Chapter 485 The Obsessed Shadow Crow

The year was 2026, and the world wasn't what it used to be. Ever since the Abyss Gates cracked open three years ago, spilling monsters and dungeons across the planet, life had turned into a chaotic mess. Cities were half-ruined, half-rebuilt, and people clung to whatever normalcy they could find. Hunters—those brave or crazy enough to fight the monsters—became the new heroes. Everyone else?

Having reincarnated as a disciple of Patriarch Bodhi, yet being rather poor at cultivation, Patriarch Bodhi actually had him take Sun Wukong under his wing?In order to change Sun Wukong's fate, Wang Yang had no choice but to make Sun Wukong settle down a bit, and afterwards, the style of Journey to the West changed.East Sea Dragon King: “Jade Emperor, how can I give him the treasure and Jingu Bang if this monkey doesn't come to the Eastern Sea? I really have no other way.”Taibai Jinxing: “Jade Emperor, I tried to make him the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, but he flatly refused, even saying he have no other hobbies and that raising horses suits him!”Tathagata: “How can I seal Sun Wukong if he doesn't make a scene? And after causing a ruckus, he even seals himself?”The powers that be who arranged Journey to the West were all stunned...
