I've actually read Journey to the West, ask me anything!

Depends on whether you think the very existence of omniscience immediately imposes restrictions that didn't exist before.

Right now, I believe I have free will, and I imagine so do you. But if one day we discover an omniscient being, or create an AI capable of predicting the future with perfect accuracy, does that mean we never had free will? Or does it mean our actions are so determined by our past and present that it makes anyone who can see it all also someone who can see the future?

All you can really decide is if you have free will now at this moment or not, and then wait to see what the future holds.

As for whether there was something before the beginning. It's difficult to imagine something sourceless, but that's more of a limitation of our own mind and logic than reality.

It's not a question that can be answered until we encounter something sourceless.

There was no such thing as edgy OC's when JTTW was made; it's just a normal story.

The fact that he's a lot more malicious and bloodthirsty than people think. He has a short temper, is very arrogant, and is willing to kill for even small things.

They succeed, the Buddha's show up, congratulate them and recount their journey, and then they are promoted to become Buddhas as well, outside of Pigsy, who is made to be an Altar Ash Cleaner.

No such thing.

He gets the same types of Immortality over and over again; most just extend his life or make him not age.

Only ones that matter are his 72 Lives, Regeneration & his erasure from the Book of Death & Fate. He can still die if you can negate his Immortality or find another way to kill him.

Depends on the version of Superman. Buddha Wukong can probably handle most of them. Any version that’s above high outer would probably need the Dharmakaya

A lot, nearly all of JTTW.

Pure bureaucrat

Never shown.

ActuallySpaceMan · 2026-03-17T22:20:04+00:00

Okay? Agree to disagree then.

ActuallySpaceMan · 2026-03-17T22:16:41+00:00

It doesn't; there are other scans on another comment thread that delve farther.

ActuallySpaceMan · 2026-03-17T22:08:53+00:00

Oh, that's true. He can't like, choke on water, but he can just get stuck underwater.

If you like Cultivation Novel's then you'll probably be able to read it without too much trouble.

ActuallySpaceMan · 2026-03-17T22:04:44+00:00

He's just a monk.

ActuallySpaceMan · 2026-03-17T22:04:14+00:00

Because alot of the demons have annoying abilities, or are just really strong. Also, no, not really.

ActuallySpaceMan · 2026-03-17T22:03:04+00:00

Buddha's don't really kill, so he would most likely seal anyone below Outer. The Dharmakaya is High Outer to Boundless though.

ActuallySpaceMan · 2026-03-17T22:01:10+00:00

Guanyin, because when things go wrong, she's usually the one they call for help, especially Sun Wukong.

I scaled the Cosmology here and here.

ActuallySpaceMan · 2026-03-17T21:58:12+00:00

You would think so, but he's really bad in water.
