Interstellar Journey to the West

I am Chen Xuanzang, a human from the Chang'an Star of the Great Tang Galaxy. I’m a down-on-his-luck kid, but I grew up with Li Shimin, the second prince of the Great Tang royal family, and we call each other brothers.

Li Shimin has a fiancée named Xijing, a princess of the Buddhist race from the Western Paradise Star Domain. Afraid that Xijing might be ugly, he asked me to go see her in person. If she’s beautiful, I’m to bring her back to Chang'an; if she’s ugly, I’ll help him break off the engagement.

But if you want to know whether she’s pretty, wouldn’t it be enough to have someone send back an image? Why do I have to make the trip myself?

“The photo-editing technology is too good now. I don’t trust anyone else,” Li Shimin said.

Fine, you’re the boss, I’ll listen.

So I set out west in the human race’s top-tier warship, the White Dragon Horse, together with the Monkey King I bought and two bodyguards...

Wei Zheng decapitates the Dragon King across endless light-years in a single dream, Xue Rengui pierces a star system with one spear, Changsun Wuji’s arrow brings down a river of stars, Cheng Yaojin cleaves through a fleet of one hundred thousand divine warships with one axe, and Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong block orbital cannons with their bare arms. No one can come close...
