Just after Sun Wukong breaks free of Five Elements Mountain, he is forcibly bound to the “Three Realms Heavenly Law Check-In System.”
The Celestial Court and Spirit Mountain hope to smooth out his rough edges with domestication points. They give him the temporary position of Bimawen, lock away nine-tenths of his power, and even turn his Golden Cudgel into a mere fire poker.
They all expect the cheeky monkey to bow his head and submit, never imagining that
Instead of swinging his cudgel, the monkey starts chewing through the heavenly laws.
A mountain god embezzles incense offerings? Follow the proper channels to revoke his post and investigate.
A demon with connections comes down to earth to pad his resume? First check whether his appointment is legitimate and his accounts are clean.
A mid-ranking official in the Thunder Department abuses his power? File a complaint, follow procedure, and expose the corruption ledger in public.
As he travels west, Wukong strips away the privileges of every well-connected figure in the Three Realms. But the more he investigates, the stranger things get:
He completes the domestication missions, yet the domestication points keep dropping faster and faster?
Only when he barges into Spirit Mountain and confronts the Tathagata does the System’s outer shell shatter completely, awakening the will of the primordial heavenly laws. Only then do the Three Realms understand
The Celestial Court was never taming Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong was going to use the heavenly laws to set the Three Realms’ rotten rules straight.
Old Sun follows the heavenly laws, not your backroom favors and connections!
