Reborn on Five Finger Mountain, the Great Sage Plots His Journey to the West

After the Journey to the West ends in success, Sun Wukong refuses to become a soulless machine, a mere puppet of Buddhism. He abandons all his cultivation and dissolves into nothingness. By a twist of fate, Sun Wukong is reborn beneath Five Finger Mountain. In this life, he walks the road west once more, not to obtain the scriptures and not for Buddhism, but for himself, to claim the merits of the Journey to the West. A mount for gods and Buddhas? No, they are man-eating monsters, and I am the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, here to subdue demons and exterminate evil. The eighty-one trials of the scripture journey? No, they are eighty-one trials for the demons.
