After five hundred years of thunder and fire, in the endless darkness at the bottom of the Five Elements Mountain, a remnant soul of the Monkey King, the Monkey King, quietly awakened with endless regret and unwillingness. He was reborn and returned to the moment when the stone monkey was born, becoming the ignorant Sun Xiaokong on the Huaguo Mountain but carrying the memories of his previous life. In his previous life, he was unruly and made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, but he could not escape the palm of the Tathagata Buddha. He was crushed by the Five Elements Mountain, and then embarked on the westward journey. It seemed that he had achieved cultivation and defeated the Buddha, but he knew in his heart that the compromises along the way, the separation of his companions, and the shackles of his own magical powers were all indelible regrets.
After reviving his life, Sun Xiaokong's eyes were filled with vicissitudes of life and perseverance. He knows the trajectory of heaven's reincarnation, and has insight into the secret calculations of the immortal and Buddha worlds. This time, he is no longer the monkey who only knows how to show off his ferocity. He wants to protect the thousands of monkey descendants in Huaguo Mountain and prevent the blood feud from his previous life from repeating itself; he wants to reshape his Taoist foundation, break through the limits of the Seventy-two Transformations and Somersault Clouds, and explore more powerful forces; he wants to make truly trustworthy partners and no longer be coerced by the so-called "destiny"; he also wants to uncover the layers of fog behind Journey to the West, break the chess game set by immortals and Buddhas, find his own path against the sky, and truly become the one that no one can restrain. "Monkey King"! In this life, the golden cudgel points not only to demons and monsters, but also to the established destiny and the supreme way of heaven.
