In the catastrophe of the real and fake Monkey King, it was Sun Wukong's true body who died under the Tathagata's golden bowl.
The six-eared macaque took his place and finally achieved the merit of collecting Buddhist scriptures.
Wukong's remnant soul wandered in the cold abyss of the underworld for eighteen years, which coincided with the coming of the catastrophe of heaven and earth, the turmoil of the spiritual mountains in the west, and the six ears were unable to return to heaven.
Only the Monkey King can prevent this calamity.
Wukong was reborn from Nirvana. In order to save the West and prove his own path, he decided to start his journey to the West again.
This time, he no longer followed the rules. Wherever the golden cudgel pointed, there was a whole new world.
