    [Journey to the West + Black Myth: Wukong + Investiture of the Gods Conspiracy + Bodhi Patriarch + Ancient Demons + Mythological Modification] In the distant mythological era, Sun Wukong, the former Great Sage Equal to Heaven, was bestowed the title of Victorious Fighting Buddha, and should have enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the Buddhist realm. However, when he unveiled the mysteries of the Western Paradise, he discovered a shocking deception. The hypocrisy and cruelty of the gods, the suffering and injustice of humanity—all these truths ignited his anger like a raging fire. He, Sun Wukong, was no longer satisfied with the empty title of the Buddhist realm; he would tear off the mask of the gods, and he would fight for freedom for the demon race and all oppressed beings. He returned to Flower Fruit Mountain, rallied his old followers, raised the banner of resistance, and challenged the rule of the Heavenly Court. The battle was brutal, and the power of the Heavenly Court was overwhelming. The demon army was defeated step by step under the iron heel of the Heavenly Court, and hope seemed to be fading. But in his darkest hour, Wukong grasped the true meaning of power—it lay not in the gifts of gods and Buddhas, but in the faith and free will of all beings. He, Sun Wukong, became the embodiment of rebellion, awakening the slumbering masses and igniting the flames of freedom...
