The tribal chief came to his senses and dropped to the ground with a thud, "I pay homage to my god!"
Seeing this, the monkey tribe outside also felt that the macaque was transformed from the totem and imitated the chief with three bows and nine kowtows.
The macaque's intelligence was not inferior to that of humans, but it had no memories whatsoever. Seeing the monkey tribe bowing, it found the sight very interesting and happily scratched its ears and cheeks.
"Rise, rise, who are you? And who am I?"
The macaque chieftain quickly said, "You are the Monkey God, the deity we worship!"
"Monkey God?"
Scratching his ear, the macaque said, "That name doesn't sound nice, how about calling me Monkey King? From now on, I will be the king of the monkeys, and all of you are my subjects!"
The old monkey, upon hearing this, excitedly bowed again.
"I pay homage to the Monkey King."
"I pay homage to the Monkey King..."
Cheers after cheers shook the very heavens.
