Five hundred years after being enshrined as a Buddha, Sun Wukong accidentally glimpsed the "merit account book" of Xitian's Buddhist scriptures and was shocked to realize that the Eighty-One Dilemma was actually a well-planned scam. The "monsters" he killed in the past were mostly immortals and Buddhas' mounts and children; the so-called great cause of "saving all sentient beings" was actually a cold experiment in heaven and Lingshan to recycle resources, eliminate dissidents, and tame oneself.
Although the golden hoop has melted away, the heart hoop is still there. The overwhelming anger intertwined with the coldness of the collapse of faith, and the lotus platform of the Victorious Buddha suddenly cracked. He silently smashed the Buddhist niche and pulled out the dusty Ruyi Golden Cudgel. His ears seemed to hear the sound of the wind and rain that pressed down under the Five Elements Mountain five hundred years ago, and even more distantly, the hunting sound of the "Monkey King" banner on the top of the Huaguo Mountain.
"If all the gods and Buddhas in the sky use all sentient beings as chess and compassion as lies..." The extinguished flames in his eyes rekindled, more intense and clear than when they were making trouble in the heavenly palace, "Then let me, old grandson, redefine the truth of good and evil for this world!"
Since then, Sun Wukong has embarked on a road that is thousands of times more difficult and dangerous than traveling westward: deciphering the erased truth in the thirty-third heaven, pursuing the testimony of the demon soul who died in vain in the underworld, and piecing together the cracks in the "order of heaven" from the ruins of the beginning of chaos. He will face the encirclement and suppression of the Buddhas, the choices of his old brothers, the incomprehension of sentient beings in the three realms, and the ultimate inner questioning of "what is the right path?"
When he finally stands on the top of the Lingshan Mountain, facing the Tathagata who once granted him the right fruit, Sun Wukong will give his own answer - not to become a Buddha, nor to become a demon, but to tear off all the hypocritical titles and regain his original self that is upright and upright.
