“The Great Sage Equal to Heaven is me now!” Feeling the power coursing through his body, he realized that he had fully inherited all of Sun Wukong's power. It all began a long, long time ago.
The pilgrimage to the Western Heaven ten thousand years ago was nothing but a sham, a plot to weaken Sun Wukong! It was a conspiracy by the Celestial Court, meant to leave this world defenseless against an invasion from beyond its borders.

Knowing he could do nothing himself, he placed his hopes in a young man, sending him back ten thousand years with all his abilities to save the people of the world.
The reason for his choice was simple: he was one of the five-colored stones Nuwa used to mend the sky, while the young man was the destructive flame that would shatter it!
