Summon the Great Sage Equal to Heaven at the Start (Live-Action AI Edition)

Gu Yan, a college student, accidentally crosses over into the world of a novel he once read, taking over the body of a minor character who shares his name. In this realm, deities have awakened once more. All nations wage wars of national fortune by summoning divine beings: victors thrive with flourishing national luck, while losers are forced to cede territory or face annihilation. Great Xia, however, suffers from a broken cultural heritage and forgotten native gods, losing every divine battle and teetering on the brink of collapse. As soon as Gu Yan awakens in this novel world, he faces an immediate death threat alongside his nation's desperate plight. Armed with foreknowledge of the plot, he resolves to defy fate and defend Great Xia. At a crucial sacred artifact auction, ignoring mockery from the crowd, Gu Yan spends a vast sum to buy the Golden Cudgel, an item no one recognizes for its true power. He also sees through a trap laid by Western forces, stopping Great Xia from squandering its national strength. When the divine wars of national fortune commence, the city lord of Great Xia and the traitor Chu Hanjian suffer crushing defeats one after another. Chu Hanjian defects to the enemy mid-battle and summons the Four River Dragon Gods to turn against Great Xia, pushing the nation to the verge of total destruction. At the most critical moment, Gu Yan activates the Golden Cudgel and summons the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. The Monkey King crushes the Dragon Gods with overwhelming power in a single legendary victory, bringing Great Xia its first taste of glory.
