In the primordial universe, Sun Wukong's true body had reached the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm and secluded himself on Flower-Fruit Mountain to comprehend chaos. The “Sun Wukong” who took part in the Journey to the West was merely the embodiment of his benevolent corpse, accumulating merit through the eighty-one trials. The moment his merit was complete, the benevolent corpse returned. His true body fused that merit with the insights of his three corpses, triggering the Chaos Saint Tribulation and propelling him straight to the rank of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, a Saint.
As the might of a Saint first descended, a catastrophe of extraterrestrial demons struck without warning. The Lord of Annihilation led an army of demons through the rift in the walls of the universe, devouring stars and bringing the primordial world to the brink of destruction. The newly ascended Saint Sun Wukong stepped forward, rallying Tang Sanzang, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing, who had awakened the powers of their past lives, along with his sworn brothers from Flower-Fruit Mountain, their old brotherhood rekindled. Together, they formed the core force to resist the demons.
The war swept across the sea of stars and was devastating. Wukong fused the laws of chaos and reforged his Golden Cudgel into the “Chaos Pillar That Supports Heaven.” Tang Sanzang's Buddha-light shone everywhere, purifying demonic energy, while the brothers formed the Great Array of the Celestial Stars, drawing on the power of the constellations. After fierce battles at the Sea Eye of the Great Void, the fall of the Seven Luminaries Demon Star, and the bloody sacrifices of his brothers, Wukong entered the final battle with his companions giving everything to help him. Taking the origin of the Chaos Green Lotus as his foundation, he fused the merit of the Journey to the West, the bonds of brotherhood, and the faith of all beings, comprehending the ultimate strike, “Chaos: Creation of Heaven and Earth.” He destroyed the Lord of Demons and its core, the “Chaos Demon Seed,” and won the war.
After the war, Wukong united the primordial world with the liberated star regions and founded the “Hunyuan Star Alliance.” By integrating the Demon Seed's information, he learned that Sainthood was not the end: deeper in the universe lay a higher realm, the Heavenly Dao Realm, and unknown threats. Determined to break through and uncover the ultimate mysteries, Wukong resolutely led his core brothers and allies along the ancient path through the starry skies, heading into the eternal darkness that swallowed even starlight. Thus began their journey to conquer the unknown and seek the peak of the Dao.
