Due to an accident, Xiaokong, a social animal, transformed into the Sun Wukong who had just returned from Fangcun Mountain to study martial arts. However, he knew very well that this "Monkey King" was just a puppet in the game of Buddhism and Taoism - from taking the golden cudgel and causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace to conquering the Five Elements Mountain and defeating the Buddha in a fight, it was all a script that had already been written.
Knowing that traveling westward is a conspiracy sweeping across the three realms, and that he is just a pawn on Tathagata's chessboard, he still refuses to accept his fate: now that he has taken over the body of this stone monkey, he has to go against fate - pretending to follow the "established plot" to gain power, while secretly making plans during the six-hundred-year time difference, vowing to break away from the control of the Buddhist and Taoist bosses and earn a freedom that belongs only to him.
