Seven years after returning from Buddhist scriptures, Lingshan's merits and virtues are complete, and the three realms are singing and dancing.
But one night, Sun Wukong, the victorious Buddha, disappeared mysteriously.
No one dares to check.
Lingshan said that he had attained enlightenment in seclusion, Heaven said that his merits had been fulfilled, and the underworld could not find the name of his soul, but Huaguo Mountain found a line of writing deep in the stone wall:
"If anyone asks, tell me that I never became a Buddha."
Zhu Bajie thought that this was just another willfulness of the monkey.
It wasn't until he opened the old merit book that he discovered that the nine-nine-nine-eighty-one tribulations were never destiny, but a game that had already been written: monsters have backstages, sufferings have numbers, incense has ledgers, and even Sun Wukong's birth, learning skills, and wreaking havoc in the heavenly palace may be just one step on the chessboard.
What's even more frightening is that after the real and fake Monkey King, is the surviving Sun Wukong really the original Sun Wukong?
The three realms began to reconcile.
In Lingshan, Heaven, Underworld, Dragon Palace, Monster Clan, and Human World, the names sealed in the scriptures resurfaced one by one.
Zhu Bajie asked the sky with his pen:
If seeking Buddhist scriptures is a scam, who is suffering the suffering of all sentient beings?
If the Victorious Buddha has disappeared, who is the monkey still wielding the stick in the Legend of the Three Realms?
