How Wukong died?

[Hurricane]

Right now I'm entering chapter 5, but I still don't understand how he died, didn't he become immortal like 7 times? I assume it's because of that tiara that appeared on his head? Is it going to be explained later on what exactly is this and why his immortality got taken away?

[Paradox]

Sun wukong told buddha he deserved to be the jade emperor more.
Buddha challenged wukong and told him that if he can get off his hands he'd help (i think).
At the end of the universe sun wukong found 5 pillars, wrote his name and what not and returned to Buddha.
Buddha showed wukong he never left his hand and smashed wukong back to earth and buddha's hand became a mountain.. With a Talisman he sealed wukong

that head band is like a seal, it was given by GuanYin/觀音 to TangSeng/TangSanZang三藏/唐僧(the monk, wukong escort to india) to control wukong(make him behave)
it was "removed" after they returned home. but its never really removed. and thats when someone from celestial court used that headband to backstab wukong during the duel.
wukong's body might never die off as its just a stone monkey. but his ability/relic/soul is scattered/divided by others. make him no longer a threat to the celestial court

it is implied that since wukong cannot die, the story of the game is that he purposely started a war with the jade emperor to weaken himself, and when he was weak he ripped his own soul apart which turned his body into stone. the player is the remnant of wukong's soul that was reborn as a mortal because he tore his former divinity into smaller peices and greedy creatures consumed them. the player is tasked with regaining the other pieces of wukong's soul so that wukong can now be a fully mortal creature with his original divine power and abilities, which he believes will let him completely cut himself off from the jade emperor.

if the player fails to regain all peices of wukong's soul, the player rips apart his soul again while crying, and the process begins anew until one of the mortal incarnations of wukong can complete the plan.

if the player succeeds in regaining all peices, wukong retraces his steps of the journey to the west to remember all his friends that died, and then he tries to invade the jade emperor's palace to get revenge on the jade emperor and probably die as a warrior to join his mortal friends who fell along the way in the past.

thats before the "journey to the west".
the game is after they returned from west.
