Elder Jinchi's Story
Delve into the rich lore of Black Myth: Wukong by understanding Elder Jinchi's narrative. This section recounts the pivotal story of Sun Wukong's past, his defeat, and the prophecy that sets the stage for the player's journey. Understanding this backstory provides context for the game's overarching plot and Wukong's motivations.
The tale begins with Sun Wukong's ultimate defeat. After a fierce battle, he is ultimately overcome by Erlang. In a climactic moment, Sun Wukong attempts to fly away but is struck by the magical circlet placed on him by the Buddha. This causes him immense pain, and Erlang seizes the opportunity to cast him down into a mountain, sealing him within a large stone egg. This event marks the end of Sun Wukong's immediate story.
Centuries later, an elder monkey, Elder Jinchi, retells the legend of the Monkey King. He proclaims that a 'Destined One' may still walk in Sun Wukong's path. This Destined One is prophesied to find the Six Relics of the Monkey King's Spirit, also known as the Six Senses of the Great Sage. This prophecy serves as the catalyst for the game's beginning, with Chapter 1 officially commencing after this retelling. You assumes the role of this Destined One, tasked with uncovering these relics and potentially restoring Wukong's legacy.
