You now know why, whether it’s the Heavenly Palace or Spiritual Mount, they all wanted to claim as their own. It was all for the Spiritual Essence in my brain. Why is the Spiritual Essence in my brain so formidable? It’s because it ca from a Divine Stone left behind when Nuwa nded the heavens.
As the Divine Stone nded the skies, the Spirit Stone in my brain gradually assimilated with the worlds of the heavens. You could almost say the world is , and I am the spirit of the world. Should anyone consu this Divine Stone, they would effectively rise above all the worlds of the heavens.
Hehe, is it too shocking? Hahaha, well then, let continue to tell you stories about the Tathagata Buddha!
Many tis, I’ve wondered what exactly I was born to do. I’ve caused trouble in the Heavenly Palace and journeyed to the Western Paradise. But, what cos after?
Whenever it ca to this point in the past, I’d always turn to my master. He would say that everyone has their own path, and he didn’t know how I was supposed to proceed, only that my current path was to journey West.
Sotis, master knows a lot, but at other tis, he knows nothing at all. Now that master is not by my side, I don’t know who to ask, so I have to think for myself.
I thought and thought until I recalled the days of frolicking with fellow monkeys on Flower Fruit Mountain, the sensation of seeing the Jingu Bang for the first ti in the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, the delight of feasting on peaches in the Peach Garden, the agony inside Supre Elder Lord’s Alchemy Furnace, the rage after wearing the Golden Hoop, and that other Sun Wukong who looked just like , who was actually the Six-Eared Macaque that Tathagata spoke of.
Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but laugh. Tathagata sure went to a lot of trouble. Six-Eared Macaque, haha, when I first saw this Sun Wukong who was the spitting image of , I couldn’t stop laughing. Why did I laugh? Because Tathagata thought he was so clever, transforming his incarnation into my likeness.
He managed to deceive master, the Jade Emperor, even the Demon-Revealing Mirror, and Guanyin Bodhisattva, but he could never fool .
The Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils I acquired in the Supre Elder Lord’s furnace are not just for seeing through demons’ disguises. Tathagata’s mana and cultivation might indeed surpass mine by a great deal, but he still underestimated my Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils.
He should have considered that the Six-Eared Macaque is of the monkey kind. Back then, I had erased all monkeys’ nas from the register of death, so that all monkeys revered . Although there truly was a Six-Eared Macaque that could perceive the Universe, he was not included in the Five Elents of the Three Realms. Actually, where he was, only I knew.
With this charade of the true and false Beautiful Monkey King, Tathagata was trying to tell that he could create another Sun Wukong at any ti and place to replace , and no one would be able to tell.
Although monks are not supposed to kill, if one kills a person and then another appears to take their place, and nobody can tell, then no one would ever know that he, the Tathagata, had killed soone.
I am rely a monkey, a monkey who fears neither heaven nor earth.
Unknowingly, it’s been over a thousand years since I sprang from the stone. A thousand years is neither too long nor too short. Long because a thousand years have changed many things and people. Short, because over these thousand years, so things have never changed. Like those monkeys on Flower Fruit Mountain.
Ever since I first dived behind the Water Curtain, a thousand years have passed with one call. No matter where I am, no matter whether I do good or bad, they still call king.
Even if I caused the heavens to rain fire on Flower Fruit Mountain, even when I was trapped under the Five Elents Mountain and they suffered at the hands of demon hunters, they never changed; they still remain as lovable as they were at the beginning. When I am there, they serve ; when I’m not, they wait for .
So I know, even if there’s no place for in the entire world, Flower Fruit Mountain will always be ho to , Old Sun.
Yet so much has changed beyond recognition, like my sworn brother the Bull Demon King. Back in the days, we caused mischief on Flower Fruit Mountain together and beca sworn brothers after a brawl, spending our days carefree, drinking, and fighting. But ever since I embarked on the journey Westwards, everything changed.
The old bull not only forgot our brotherly love of old but even beca my enemy, battling for three days and nights on Fla Mountain.
But I don’t bla him; he has his reasons. I know Guanyin taking his son, Hong Hai’er, as a disciple under the guise of the Wealth-Deity Child was to threaten the old bull, keeping us from happily returning to Flower Fruit Mountain. But even knowing this, what can be done? It’s not yet ti for an open conflict, what we can do is fight, even if our opponent is a forr brother.
Bide your ti, old bull, and all those brothers from the past. All you can do now is to pretend not to recognize , treat as the sworn enemy who betrayed the Demon Clan, and do your best to obstruct my journey West. Otherwise, the Demon Clan would sooner or later be taken away by those Bodhisattvas and Heavenly Gods.
Alas, the ti is still not right.
I don’t know what the outco of this will be. Perhaps it will end in failure, and then everything will disappear. My Flower Fruit Mountain, my monkey children and grandchildren, my brothers, and my master Tang Xuanzang, my junior brothers Bajie, Wujing, and the White Dragon. Oh, and her.
Despite this, so things still need to be done. It’s not a question of stubbornness, but a war between two races. After five hundred years of preparation, giving up now would truly be to waste all earlier efforts. I can’t let the blood of the Demon Clan who died five hundred years ago be shed in vain, and certainly, I won’t let those so-called deities continue to do as they please.
This world isn’t controlled by one person, or a group of people, the world belongs to the living beings within it.
So what if we are from the Demon Clan? Does the Demon Clan not consist of living beings? Must demons beco the mounts and pets of deities to be accepted? True, many demons do evil deeds, but not all demons are like that. Many demons do not dispute worldly matters, focusing on cultivation to attain the Dao.
But, what’s the use? When immortals attain the Dao, they join the ranks of immortals, living forever without aging. But what about demons who attain the Dao? What do they beco?
After more than five hundred years of preparation, the Demon Clan finally possesses the strength to make one final gamble. If the Demon Clan loses, then there will be no demons in this world henceforth. If the Deities lose, then Heaven shall belong to the Demon Clan.
Those monks you speak of? Don’t forget the purpose of my journey to the West. I’ve made it my condition for entering Buddhism that Tathagata not interfere in the conflict between the Demon Clan and the Deities. Besides, I am the victorious fighting Buddha as well as the Beautiful Monkey King of Flower Fruit Mountain—it’s under my leadership that the Demon Clan unites.
If I beca the Jade Emperor, Tathagata would stand to gain benefits without any drawbacks, so why would he obstruct ?
Ha-ha, and besides, Tathagata might not even have the ti to deal with . Perhaps he’ll be too busy dealing with his own troubles by then!
I really want to see the expression on the Jade Emperor’s face when I attack the Heavenly Palace once again. I’m also curious to see Supre Elder Lord’s reaction when I turn the Eight Trigrams Path upside down again. It’s a pity, though, that the Queen Mother’s peaches are not yet ripe, otherwise I’d definitely have another feast.
All you deities in the sky, don’t be impatient. It will be very soon, really very soon. Old Sun will give you another surprise and let you all know there’s a monkey that not just anyone can ss with.

The Seven Saints of the Demon Clan will once again gather at Flower Fruit Mountain, commanding myriads of demons to march towards the Heavenly Palace.
There are also many foreshadows laid down during these five hundred years that will explode one by one, dealing fatal blows to Heaven. As for the gods of Heaven, enjoy your last monts, because soon, a great battle will erupt, and it’s uncertain who will live and who will die.
Whether it leads to the suffering of all living beings or the rampant onslaught of demons, a battle is inevitable.
