Three hundred years after he learned the scriptures, Sun Wukong had defeated the Buddha in a battle, but the Three Realms were rewritten in the merit book. The demons, humans, and souls who died in the calamity are all nameless and have no way out. So the great sage went down to Lingshan again, not to become a Buddha, but to ask a question for all sentient beings: If gods and Buddhas say this is destiny, who can write his own name?
This time, he was not resisting to cause trouble in the Heavenly Palace, but to seek an explanation for those whose names had been erased by fate.
