A hundred years after Sun Wukong became a Buddha, he accidentally discovered a shocking conspiracy between Buddhism and Taoism to control the three realms. Before he could expose it, Tathagata and Laojun teamed up to obliterate him. At the critical moment, the ancient remnant soul sleeping in the golden cudgel - Ancestor Styx - protected his consciousness and was reborn back to the moment when the stone monkey was born in Huaguo Mountain.
With the memory of two lives, he saw clearly the fate of everyone: the ending of the Bull Demon King, the truth about the six-eared macaque, the true identity of Tang Monk, the hidden reason why Bajie was demoted... In this life, he is no longer led by fate like in his previous life.
He is deliberately slow, not a king, just a chess player;
He made friends with the Dragon King of the East China Sea in advance, recruited the six-eared macaques, and truly became sworn sworn friends with the Bull Demon King;
His wreaking havoc in the Heavenly Palace is an act, being crushed by the Five Elements Mountain is the layout, and every difficulty on the way to seek scriptures is a chess piece;
He secretly protected Monk Tang from studying in the West, and secretly incorporated the demon clan, established the Qitian Demon Kingdom, and contacted forces from all directions.
At the moment when Lingshan was consecrated to the Buddha, he turned over the table——
"I don't want to be your fighting Buddha. I want to be my own Monkey King."
