In the vortex of Gangsha in Huaguo Mountain, a fairy stone coincident with the degree of Zhou Tian gave birth to the natural stone monkey Sun Wukong. His birth was the beginning of the calamity of the three realms.
Lingshan Tathagata regards Wukong as a pawn for the great prosperity of Buddhism, and wants to use him to stir up the heaven, and then bind him with a tight curse; the Jade Emperor of heaven attempts to control this strange number and maintain his authority; Kunlun's quasi-sage Ye Xuantian peeks into the mystery and secretly gives Wukong the fragment of "Nine Transformations of Mysterious Art", hoping to use calamity to break through to the saint realm. A three-party conspiracy caused Wukong's fate to deviate from the established trajectory.
Wukong's journey to seek enlightenment is fraught with dangers: the mirage of Taibai Venus sets up traps, and the miasma of Black Wind Ridge hides dangers. Fortunately, with the help of Ye Xuantian, he reaches Lingtai Fangcun Mountain. The Bodhi Patriarch gave him a name and drove him down the mountain. When he was trying to seize the treasure in the Dragon Palace, he identified the owner with the sea-god needle, but it attracted the prying eyes of the Heavenly Court and the Lingshan Mountain. Ghosts in the underworld took away the souls of the monkey clan, and the ink in the book of life and death faded, and the game of the three realms officially began.
Wukong, who holds a golden cudgel and cultivates the Nine Transformations Mysterious Skill, is no longer a chess piece at the mercy of others. Foreshadowings such as the water curtain cave murals, bodhi leaf warnings, and the divine thoughts secretly conveyed by Guanyin will be revealed: the cracks in heaven after Hongjun retreated, the secrets of Nuwa's relics, and the glimmer of the demon clan's revival will all emerge in this adverse journey. This is Wukong's struggle to break his destiny, and it is also a catastrophe for the prehistoric forces to reshuffle their cards.
