The story of Black Myth: Wukong takes place after the events of Journey to the West.

The monkey king: SunWukong, enter the ranks of immortals, and become the Victorious Fighting Buddha.

‍

After staying at the Vulture Peak for a while, Sun Wukong couldn't stand the strict rules and rituals.

Without seeking approval or receiving permission, Sun Wukong  returned to Mount Huaguo.

Consequently, the heavens sent Erlang Shen to lead an army to suppress Mount Huaguo.

-----------------------------------

Wukong:

My master - safe!

The scriptures - sound!

All I ever wanted was a life in my mountain, free from you, and your so-called merits.

Those high above don't trust me. I understand that.

And they send you in those knuckleheads...

to threaten me to obey and serve once more. Hmm, I understand that too.

But what I don't understand is...

you bastards killing my kind!

‍

Barking Celestial Dog：

Wowo

‍

Erlang:

Stay back, stupid dog!

Mark this: he's not just any monkey. He's a monkey of merit.

A monkey was made Buddha once.

None other than me can challenge him to a duel.

Look, monkey, I don't make a habit of fighting someone I've bested before.

Here's my offer: If you lose I'll take you to the Celestial Court.

They will stay and level your Mountain.

But if I lose, I shall certainly take revenge, and they will level your mountain nonetheless!

How tragic would that be, huh?

You were one of the Court; we don't need to resort to violence.

How about you bend the knees, admit the wrongs, and we can put this behind us?

‍

Wukong:

[Laughter]

All these years except for that pig you're the one who talks the tallest tales. Good, I

am entertained.

Speaking of entertainment,

wouldn't it be fun if I pluck your extra eye out for my snack, and allow you to keep the other two ?

Because I'd hate to let you miss how I'll slaughter each mongrel of the Court.

Those below, those above, and that black mutt of yours.

Come at me, all of you!

Old Monkey:

And so ends the last tale of Sun Wukong,

a hero who treasured his freedom above all else

Buddhahood he attained, yes; but cumbersome he found the Celestial Rules

For he yearned to come back and to revel in the simple joys with us.

forgo Little did he know, his choice to the life above only fueled their mistrust.

days This stone has stood for countless on the mountain.

they Since my youth, said that his remains lie within it.

Unbegotten, undying, such is the nature of a stone monkey:

Though his body was broken, his spirit endures.

they escaped; choosing to stay hidden: Into six relics he turned, and separately

Into six relics he turned,and separately they escaped, choosing to stay hidden:

Those are the Six Senses of the Great Sage.

Yet no one has ever seen them. Not in centuries.

Im old now. Venture through all the lands, I cannot.

Yet among You, there might be one who is destined,

one that shall recover all his scattered relics

And upon the return of the relics to Mount Huaguo, he may yet rise again.
