Five hundred years have passed, and Sun Wukong no longer remembers who he is. He only remembered that his name was Sun Changshou, and he was an old beggar huddled in a ruined temple in Chang'an City. He was skinny, covered with weather, and lived on alms from alms cakes. He doesn't remember Huaguo Mountain, he doesn't remember the Golden Cudgel, he doesn't remember the havoc in the Heavenly Palace—he just remembers that every winter is cold and every night is long.
Until the golden light from the bottom of the dry well illuminated his face.
The Ruyi Golden Cudgel trembled in his hand, and the five-hundred-year-old seal shattered like ice. He finally remembered who he was, but he also remembered an even crueler truth - the catastrophe that destroyed heaven, collapsed spiritual mountains, and overthrew the underworld five hundred years ago was not a natural disaster, but a conspiracy. And the source of everything is hidden in the ancient artifact called the "Reincarnation Mirror".
In order to retrieve his lost memory and rescue his master Jin Chanzi who had been trapped in the mirror of reincarnation for five hundred years, Sun Wukong embarked on the road to Beiju Luzhou. He crossed the Blackwater River and fought against the gatekeeper Fei Lian alone; he broke into the Bone Forest and faced the ancient souls seeking death; he took the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir and struggled to be reborn on the edge of exploding his body.
