Black Wukong's plot originated from Dragon Ball Super, which was a manga and also an animated version. There was no information to indicate that the plot was adapted from a novel.
The plot of Black Myth: Wukong was an adaptation of the novel Journey to the West. The setting of the story was set after Sun Wukong was conferred the title of Fighting Buddha after he had completed the Buddhist scriptures. Because Sun Wukong did not like the way of the world in the divine realm, he returned to Huaguo Mountain. In order to control or destroy him, the Heavenly Court found an excuse to deal with him again. Sun Wukong fought to protect the monkey and was defeated by Erlang God. The plot was based on the original elements of Journey to the West. Moreover, the multi-ending design and the construction of character relationships in the game also revolved around the characters and story background of Journey to the west to a certain extent. He reinterpreted the original work.
In the Black Wukong chapter of Dragon Ball Super, the story took place after the power meeting. Zamas, the candidate for the Realm King God in the tenth universe, met Sun Wukong in the seventh universe by chance and was defeated. As he was a battle genius with a twisted personality and had a strong self-esteem, he could not accept defeat. After learning about the time ring and the super dragon ball, he stole the time ring and went to another time and space to gather the super dragon ball to summon the super dragon god. He realized his wish to swap bodies with Sun Wukong in that time and space, and thus became Black Wukong. After that, Black Wukong and Zamas of Datu Space-Time joined forces to start the human extinction plan. He chased Datu everywhere and even killed Booma. Helpless, Big Te rode the time machine to the main storyline to seek help from Wukong. Then, they came to Big Te's spacetime to fight Black Wukong. Black Goku had the Saiyan ability because his body was originally Sun Goku. He gained new power in battle and transformed into a rose-red color (Black Goku Rose Red). The two Zamas engaged in a life-and-death battle with Goku and Vegeta in the main storyline. In the end, Black Goku and Zamas merged into the final BOSS, Zamas, through the Portara earring. After that, the super blue Becket appeared in the battle, but because he underestimated the enemy, he did not manage to kill the combined Zamas. In the end, he relied on the entire king to destroy this big boss. Not satisfied with the game? You can read the novel related to Black Myth: Wukong to understand the exciting plot!
Black Wukong was originally the tenth universe sector king god (not the real one), Zamas. His strength was stronger than ordinary sector kings and surpassed some sector kings and gods. When Zamas was watching the Sixth and Seventh Cosmic Martial Arts Tournament, he saw Sun Wukong transform into a super blue and put on the aura of a god. He admired his combat energy and asked Master Zu Nuo about the super dragon ball, wishing to swap bodies with Sun Wukong. After that, he killed almost all the gods of the Realm Kings, causing the God of Destruction and the angels to freeze accordingly. He used the time ring to come to the era of the future Trakus in the seventh universe. Because of his black clothes and dark behavior, he was called Black Goku by the future Buma. He also tried to realize the "Human Zero Plan." In the process of fighting against Sun Wukong and the others, he never turned into a Super Saiyan. After several battles with Sun Wukong and Vegeta, he turned into a Super Saiyan, and then into a Super Saiyan, Rose Red (Peach Blossom). His strength once killed Super Blue Vegeta. He had the Ring of Time, which allowed him to travel through time and space to find experts to train with. For example, he had once trained with Sun Wukong, the Super Saiyan Four, to increase his strength rapidly. He and Zamas had once used the Batra Earring to merge into Zamas. However, even after merging, in the battle with Sun Wukong, other than the immortal body, he could not gain much advantage. After Virus destroyed Zamas in the main timeline, the future world did not change because the time ring on Black Goku's hand prevented it from being affected by past events. In addition, after he killed his master, Kvass, he made a wish to the Super Dragon God to swap bodies with the Saiyan Sun Wukong to become Black Wukong. After becoming Black Wukong, he killed the real Wukong in the time and space that had Zamas 'body. Then, he used the time ring to travel to the time and space of Great Trakus to do whatever he wanted. He even went to the main time and space to provoke Wukong and Virus.

The plot of Black Myth: Wukong was as follows: Preface: "Conspiracy (Retreat to Huaguo Mountain, Wind and Cloud Rise Again)": Wukong was conferred the title of "Fighting Buddha" and gave up his Buddhist position to return to Huaguo Mountain. However, the Heavenly Court refused to give up. Erlang God led the Heavenly Army and Heavenly Generals to come. The two sides broke out in a cloud battle.

Black Myth: Wukong's story was rich and deep, giving players a lot of inspiration and insight. From the beginning of the battle between Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen, there were many doubts and decipherable points. There might be some problems with the old monkey's account of the battle. For example, the old monkey's image was strange, and it was doubtful whether he was a monkey who had followed Sun Wukong loyally in Huaguo Mountain. This might imply that the story he told might be fabricated, partially fabricated, or concealed. After all, if he was a villain or spy, then the content of his story would need to be re-examined, especially on the question of why five of the six roots of Sun Wukong were in the hands of the demons. The battle story that the old monkey told did not mention the possible military achievements of the demons when they attacked Sun Wukong. This was likely to hide a deeper plot. Looking at the story of Elder Jin Chi, in the chapter of " Seeing ", through the description of Elder Jin Chi's childhood experiences, such as when he caught the toad that symbolized wealth with a begging bowl, he had already embarked on the path of chasing after the desire for wealth. As he grew up, although he wore a kasaya, his heart was occupied by greed. From paying attention to the monk's kasaya to wanting to take it for himself when he saw Tang Sanzang's flame-patterned kasaya, his greed finally defeated his Buddhist heart and he became a beast of desire with the black bear. This plot echoed the original story of Journey to the West. This story implied that the eyes of the six roots had feelings of joy, disgust, and desire that came from seeing. It also echoed with the Supreme Saint root artifact,"Seeing Joy", that he had obtained from the Double-Pupil Chongming Bird. In terms of Sun Wukong's own setting, he gave up the Buddha position and wanted to return to Huaguo Mountain to regain his freedom. However, he was suspected by the Jade Emperor and was defeated by Erlang Shen and others. His physical body turned back into a spirit stone, and his soul was divided into six "root artifacts" scattered in the world, waiting for the "destined person" to find and revive him. While inheriting the cultural heritage of Journey to the West, this plot also constructed a new story structure, reflecting a sense of fate and the spirit of resistance. It also allowed players to constantly explore the hidden power struggles and calculations behind the fate of Sun Wukong. In addition, there were also many stories hidden in the game's Shadow God Map. For example, there were many explanations for Maitreya's Shadow God Map, and the strange encounters of the two heavenly soldiers in Erlang God's Shadow God Map. These added mystery to the game's plot, allowing players to explore the metaphor and symbolic meaning behind it, triggering thoughts about the ultimate problems of human nature, will, and fate.

Black Myth: Wukong's plot background was based on the China classic novel Journey to the West. After learning the scriptures, Sun Wukong gave up his Buddha position. This behavior made the Heavenly Court regard him as an "unstable factor", so they sent Erlang God and others to capture him with heavenly soldiers and generals, which led to a series of stories. The game started with the player playing the role of " The Destined One ". It was played alone from a third-person perspective. The character's weapon prototype was the Ruyi Jingu Staff. There were many staff techniques, as well as secret techniques, transformation, and other spell systems. After winning the battle, they could obtain additional skills and effects, as well as the attributes of the level system. The movie version of Black Myths: Wukong featured Sun Wukong as the protagonist, telling the story of his battle with demons on his way to the scriptures, and delved into topics such as human nature, good and evil, and faith. However, the box office on the first day of the movie's release was not good. The Douban rating was 3.2, and the special effects rating was not high. Currently, it was available for VIP members to watch for free on the three major platforms of Youiteng. Not satisfied with the game?

The following is the plot analysis of Black Myth: 1. The Fall of the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal 1. ** Change in background and mood ** - In the setting of Black Myth: Wukong, although Sun Wukong accompanied Tang Sanzang to the West and became a Buddha, he was not happy. The immortals of the Heavenly Court and the Spirited Mountain appeared to be sanctimonious on the surface, but in fact, they were fighting for power and profit. Even the return of Tang Sanzang was arranged by the Spirited Mountain. This made Sun Wukong realize that the scriptures were like a political show. He, who had once longed for freedom, realized that after becoming a Buddha, he had only jumped from a cage to a bigger cage. The position of Buddha was a shackle to him. 2. ** Resistance and tragic ending ** - Therefore, Sun Wukong decided to resign from his Buddhist position and return to the Flowerfruit Mountain to be the Monkey King. However, the celestial heavens could not tolerate his departure and sent God Erlang to lead the celestial troops and generals to the Flowerfruit Mountain to encircle and suppress him. Back then, when Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, he had fought fiercely with Erlang Shen. This time, the battle at Flowerfruit Mountain was even more tragic. In the end, the Golden Hoop Incantation sounded, and Sun Wukong fell to the ground in pain. Erlang Shen used the three-pointed double-edged sword to divide his body into six pieces and distributed them to five different demons. His era seemed to have ended. 3. ** Six sticks and hints of human nature in the game ** - The names of the six thieves who were killed by Wukong in Journey to the West in Black Mythology: Wukong implied Wukong's "six roots". They also represented various views on human nature in the game, which also showed that the world in the game was more complicated than the original. ** 2. The new journey of the "Destined One"** 1. ** The birth of a character ** - After Sun Wukong fell, his eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind were divided by six great demons. At the same time, a new story began. The player turns into an ordinary monkey and becomes the new "Chosen One", inheriting Sun Wukong's will and embarking on the journey to the West. 2. ** The appearance of the Guide ** - On the Flowerfruit Mountain, there was a mysterious old monkey who would guide the "Chosen Ones" forward. He wore coarse linen clothes and held a wooden staff. His face was kind but his eyes were deep. He would teach martial arts, tell the story of Sun Wukong, and give advice to players when they were confused. Although his identity was unknown, he was considered the last hope left by Sun Wukong. This new journey to the West was full of unknowns and challenges. They had to cross mountains, rivers, deserts, and forests. Not only did they have to face ferocious demons, but they also had to suffer the pursuit of the Heavenly Court and the Spirited Mountain. There were also countless plots and traps. ** 3. Elder Jin Chi and the Black Bear Spirit ** - In the game, Elder Jin Chi had turned into a ghost's obsession, and the black bear spirit was guarding the Guanyin Zen Temple behind him. Elder Jin Chi's story reflected the greed in human nature. Since childhood, he had been chasing wealth (such as catching toads with a begging bowl). During his growth, his greed continued to expand. When he saw Tang Sanzang's flame-patterned kasaya, his greed was completely ignited and eventually swallowed by greed. In a sense, he became one with the black bear spirit. This plot also echoed and derived from the original work. Not satisfied with the game? You can read the novel related to Black Myth: Wukong to understand the exciting plot!
Black Myth: Wukong's story animation contained a lot of content. In the first anime, it described the process of the destined one defeating the black bear spirit who had returned to Black Wind Mountain and obtaining one of the six "Eyes of Joy". The painter of this chapter had a delicate painting style and a strong traditional Chinese painting style, which well expressed traditional culture. The first chapter of the animation showed the story of Elder Jinchi coveting the monk's cassock and burning the Guanyin Zen Temple in Journey to the West. However, in the animation, Elder Jinchi and the black bear became good friends after meeting. Elder Jin Chi had been chasing after wealth since he was a child. When he was a child, he took the alms bowl (which was supposed to symbolize rejecting material life and pursuing purity of the soul) to capture the toad that symbolized wealth. He was indifferent when he saw the corpse. When he met the black bear spirit, he threw away the alms bowl and accepted the property. As he grew up, although he was wearing a kasaya, his greed was deep. When he saw the monk's kasaya, his greed was completely ignited when he saw the monk's flame-patterned kasaya (the flame pattern originated from the back of the Buddha statue and symbolized Buddhism). In the end, he lost to greed in the battle with greed. He merged with the black bear spirit in the shadow and became a beast of desire. Finally, he died. The black bear spirit finally asked Guanyin,"The love of the monk has been broken, and the golden sea has dried up." Why can't the elder put down a piece of clothing?" Guanyin replied,"If I don't put on this dress, how will the sentient beings know that my love has been broken and that the golden sea has dried up?" When Elder Jinchi was defeated, he said that he had earned hundreds of kasayas for nothing, but they were not as good as one of Tang Sanzang's. This reflected the endless greed and also implied the "eyes" in the six, which were the likes and dislikes and desires born from seeing. This echoed the "joy of seeing" obtained from the double-pupiled Chongming Bird. The second level in the game told the story of the Yellow Wind Sage. He was a good demon who defeated the wind and sand in order to save the people in the city. The corresponding picture scroll was the story of Wukong moving Lingji Bodhisattva to subdue the yellow wind in Journey to the West. Within the framework of the game's plot, the story after Journey to the West was the ultimate interrogation of fate and self. Although the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal became a Buddha after his Journey to the West, the Heavenly Court and Spirited Mountain were full of schemes and power struggles. Tang Sanzang's return from the scriptures was also arranged clearly. Wukong felt that he had jumped from a cage into a bigger cage, so he wanted to resign from the Buddha's position and return to Huaguo Mountain to be a carefree Monkey King. However, he was hunted by the Heavenly Court. Erlang God brought the Heavenly Army and Heavenly General to knock him down on Huaguo Mountain. Wukong's body was divided into six pieces and distributed to the five big demons. When his "Six Roots" were taken away, a new story began. The player transformed into an ordinary monkey and became a "destined person". He would inherit Sun Wukong's will and embark on the journey to the West, which was full of unknown and challenging challenges. He would be guided by the mysterious old monkey and face ferocious demons, the pursuit of the Heavenly Court and the Spirited Mountain, as well as countless plots and traps.

The plot of Black Myth: Wukong had rich content and deep interpretation: ** 1. Analysis of the Fall of the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal ** 1. ** Backgrounds and causes ** - In the game's settings, although Sun Wukong accompanied Tang Sanzang to the West and successfully became a Buddha, he found that there were many problems with the Heavenly Court and Spirited Mountain. Those immortals appeared to be sanctimonious, but in fact, they were fighting for power and profit. Tang Sanzang's return from the scriptures was also arranged, which made Wukong realize that the scriptures were like a political show. Wukong, who had once pursued freedom, felt like he had jumped from one cage to another even bigger cage after becoming a Buddha. The position of Buddha had become a shackle, so he decided to resign from the position of Buddha and return to the Flowerfruit Mountain to be the Monkey King again. 2. ** The battle with Erlang Shen and its ending ** - However, the celestial heavens would not let him off so easily. They sent God Erlang to lead the celestial troops and generals to the Flowerfruit Mountain to encircle and suppress him. Wukong and Erlang Shen fought again, and the battle was fierce. At the end of the battle, the Golden Hoop Incantation sounded. Wukong fell to the ground in pain. Erlang Shen used the three-pointed double-edged sword to divide Wukong's body into six pieces and distributed them to five different demons. The former hero fell. This plot implied that even someone as powerful as Wukong would find it difficult to escape misfortune under the power system and established rules of the Heavenly Court. It reflected the helplessness of powerful forces being limited by the complex power structure. 3. ** Six related metaphor ** - In Journey to the West, the six thieves who were killed by Wukong were not just passers-by here. Their names implied Wukong's "six roots". Wukong's "six roots" were divided by six demons, opening a new storyline. From the perspective of human nature, this setting represented that Wukong's various sensory levels had a deep connection with his fate. It also hinted that the game explored the complex aspects of human nature, such as the sensory experience corresponding to the six roots, desires, emotions, and so on. 4. [Wukong's Fate and Freedom] - Wukong had been pursuing freedom all his life. From the freedom of the Flower-Fruit Mountain to being forced to embark on the path of learning scriptures after being suppressed by the Five Elements Mountain, and then to fighting again after becoming a Buddha, his fate had always been controlled by external forces. His death was a manifestation of his failure to fight against freedom and fate. It also reflected the world view constructed by the game, where individuals were small and powerless in the face of powerful power, fate, and other factors. ** 2. Analysis of Elder Jinchi and the Black Bear Demon's Plot ** 1. ** Elder Jin Chi's Greed Evolved ** - Elder Jin Chi's story began when he was a child. When he was a child, he took a bowl that symbolized rejection of material life and pursuit of spiritual purity to catch a toad that symbolized wealth. This behavior violated the original intention of cultivation. Later on, he met the black bear spirit and threw away the bowl to accept the treasures. As he grew up, his greed continued to grow. After seeing Tang Sanzang's flaming kasaya (flame is a symbol of Buddhism), greed was completely ignited. In the end, he lost to greed in the battle between greed and Buddha's heart. He merged with the black bear spirit in the shadow and became a beast of desire. This process reflected the gradual development of greed and the corrosion of human nature. 2. ** Connection with the original work and its meaning ** - This plot was related to the original chapters of Journey to the West, such as the fire in Guanyin Temple. Elder Jin Chi's name also revealed his true nature. The words "gold" and "pool" implied the storage of gold, silver, and other valuables. The words he said when he was defeated also showed that his greed was endless. The game started with the story of Elder Jin Chi, which implied that the "eyes" of the six roots had the likes and dislikes and desires that were born from seeing. This echoed the theme of the subsequent plot, constructing the game's criticism and exploration of human desires. ** 3. Analysis of the Destined Man's New Journey ** 1. ** Player Character's Mission ** - After Wukong died and his "six roots" were taken away, the player turned into an ordinary monkey and became a "destined man." This ordinary monkey would inherit Sun Wukong's will and embark on the journey to the West. The path he would face was full of unknowns and challenges. Not only would he have to face ferocious demons, but he would also have to deal with the pursuit of the Heavenly Court and Spirited Mountain, as well as countless conspiracies and traps. On one hand, this setting continued the spiritual inheritance of Wukong. On the other hand, it also implied that new hope was born in ordinary individuals. Even if the road ahead was difficult and dangerous, they had to fight for a certain belief (which might be freedom, justice, etc.). 2. ** The role of the mysterious old monkey ** - The mysterious old monkey on the Flowerfruit Mountain became the guide for the player characters. He wore coarse linen clothes and held a wooden staff. His face was kind but his eyes could see through the world. He would teach martial arts, tell the story of Wukong, and guide the players when they were confused. Although his identity was mysterious, he was regarded as the last hope that Sun Wukong had left for the "Destined One." He symbolized a bond of inheritance, passing on the spirit and strength of Wukong to the new protagonist and promoting the development of the new story. Not satisfied with the game?
