A Tale of Two Stones: the True and False Monkey King

The canonization of the gods has been decided. The nine poles of the holy throne are insurmountable. The way of heaven is like iron, and all the spirits are in their own places - if they are in place for too long, even the gods will forget that iron will rust. Until a patch of sky stone cracked and a monkey jumped out. You thought you knew the story. Making havoc in the Heavenly Palace, going under the Five Elements Mountain, and traveling to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures—everyone has heard of it. But what you haven't heard is the story hidden on the last page of the list of gods: Jiang Ziya finished conferring 365 righteous gods and closed the silk book, leaving the last page empty. That empty space was supposed to be filled with a person's name. He didn't write it. That name was Erai - a loyal minister of King Zhou. His descendants were moved to the west to raise horses. Six hundred years later, a man named Ying Zheng emerged from this horse-raising tribe. It's the same game. There are saints in heaven watching. There are mortals fighting on earth. Underneath the chessboard, there is a crack that cannot be repaired even after several generations. Until the monkey causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace was trapped under the Five Elements Mountain - the real him was quietly replaced, and a six-eared macaque set out on the path to seek scriptures under the name "Sun Wukong". Two monkeys. One practiced in a secret realm and learned to create. One on the way west, learned to protect. Five hundred years of conspiracy, the truth of the Eighty-one Dilemma, the fight for the ninth holy throne - all the chess pieces on the chessboard are waiting for the same thing: the ultimate showdown between the Chaos Stone and the Order Stone. But they didn't fight. They became brothers. "Let them down for once." Two Sky-Mending Stones. Two Sun Wukongs. A chess game that extends from Conferred God to Journey to the West. And the chess pieces will eventually become the chess players.
