The real Wukong is not as weak as we play him (hahaha). He is one of the most powerful characters in Chinese mythology, capable of fighting against 100000 heavenly soldiers and generals

question, so wukong didnt die at the beginning of the game?

Wukong's body is said to be within the stone that Old Monkey caresses at the start of the game . As for his soul essence, Wukong divided it into six parts, and the protagonist's goal is to collect these pieces to resurrect Wukong.

Based on the storyline I am currently playing, it seems that he has died (or been temporarily sealed), and his power has transformed into 6 gadgets that have wandered to the mortal world. In fact, I guess the player's task is to search for these 6 gadgets (and perhaps the ending will turn us into the real Wukong? I guess). Defeat that black bear, and you will get your first gadget in the future. At that time, you will know the general plot

[REhorror]

Has anyone addressed the whole Er Lang Shen is probably brainwashed by some black cloud thing and he regains his true self when Destined One Kong beats him?

Probably setting up for the sequel.

"Journey to the West" is one of the most famous and enduring works of Chinese literature. The story follows the journey of the monk Tang Sanzang (also known as Tripitaka) to India to retrieve sacred Buddhist scriptures. He is accompanied by three disciples: Sun Wukong (the Monkey King), Zhu Bajie (Pigsy), and Sha Wujing (Sandy). The journey is filled with trials, monsters, and spiritual challenges, which serve both to protect Tang Sanzang and to redeem the disciples, each of whom has a past that requires atonement.


Sun Wukong's Backstory
Sun Wukong is born from a stone and becomes the Monkey King. He gains incredible powers, including the ability to transform into 72 different shapes, immense strength, and the ability to travel vast distances in a single leap.
His arrogance and desire for immortality lead him to rebel against Heaven, causing chaos. After defeating many celestial forces, he is eventually subdued by the Buddha and imprisoned under a mountain for 500 years as punishment.

The Journey
Tang Sanzang is a devout Buddhist monk chosen by the Tang Emperor to undertake a perilous journey to India to retrieve sacred scriptures that will bring enlightenment to China.
The Bodhisattva Guanyin recruits Sun Wukong, now reformed and freed from his imprisonment, to serve as Tang Sanzang's protector. She also enlists Zhu Bajie, a lustful and lazy former celestial general who was banished to Earth, and Sha Wujing, a former celestial marshal who was also exiled for his past misdeeds.
The journey is symbolic of the path to enlightenment, with the characters representing different facets of human nature and spiritual challenges.

Adventures and Challenges
Along the way, they encounter numerous demons, spirits, and monsters who seek to capture Tang Sanzang, as consuming his flesh is believed to grant immortality.
Sun Wukong's cunning, strength, and magical abilities are crucial in overcoming these threats, although his impetuous nature often leads to trouble.
The group also faces internal challenges, such as Zhu Bajie’s laziness and greed, and Tang Sanzang’s naivety and strict adherence to Buddhist principles, which sometimes endangers the group.

Conclusion
After many trials and tribulations, the group finally reaches India and obtains the sacred scriptures. Upon their return to China, they are honored, and each character attains a form of spiritual enlightenment or reward, with Sun Wukong being granted Buddhahood.
"Journey to the West" is not just a tale of adventure; it is a rich allegory about the journey to spiritual enlightenment, filled with humor, wisdom, and deep cultural significance.

Many people in China believe that the Erlang God is not real, but a monster disguised, because there are many strange places, and those strange places are exactly the same as the appearance of a monster in Journey to the West
