The day when Lingshan was enshrined as a Buddha was actually the time of death. In the scene between the real and fake Monkey King, the one who was covered by Tathagata's golden bowl and died under the iron rod was actually the real Monkey King, Monkey King!
The last remnant soul was taken back by the master, Patriarch Bodhi, and his true body was reshaped in chaos. After his rebirth, Wukong realizes that the "True and Fake Monkey King" was originally a murder plot set up by Taoist ancestor Hongjun to control the destiny of the westward travel, and the six-eared macaque is just a puppet. The riots in the Heavenly Palace in the past were a joke tacitly approved by the saints.
Patriarch Bodhi enlightened him and taught him the Hunyuan Taoism that transcended the three realms. He also gave him a glimpse of the four realm kings and gods who control the origin of "creation, destruction, order, and chaos" in the universe. This time, Wukong is no longer a pawn to be manipulated. He refined the roots of chaos, controlled the law of cause and effect, regained the will of war in the underworld, and reunited the three realms.
The net of heaven covers the three realms, Hongjun wants to return all things to absolute order, and the four kings and gods intervene to maintain the foundation of the universe. On this final battlefield that reshapes the universe, Wukong wields his "Heart Source Iron Rod". This blow was not for the purpose of becoming a Buddha, nor for revenge, but just to tell the gods and gods——
**"From now on, my way is the way of heaven."**
