The Monkey King is dead! The defiant Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal, is dead!
So what! As long as the world endures, fate will not relent!
Someone will always step forward and raise the banner of rebellion!
His heart and courage rival the heavens and earth, his proud spirit stands as tall as the sky. Yet the heavens and earth are unjust, and immortals and gods are demons in disguise!
He endured eighty-one trials and climbed to the rank of Buddha, yet still could not escape layer upon layer of schemes!
If the celestial immortals and Buddhas are the villains, what should we do?
Then rebel! Golden armor strides beneath the crimson sky, and the staff sweeps across heaven and earth, leaving sorrow in its wake! Better to live as a hero, and what does it matter if I die!
