Synopsis
Sun Wukong returns to a demon-free world ruled by martial artists, seeking his master's soul amid conspiracies and reincarnated allies.
At the command of the Bodhisattva of Mercy, the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, Sun Wukong, returns to the human world. But everything has changed. The demons have disappeared, and powerful martial artists now rule the land. As Sun Wukong roams this new world, searching for his lost master's soul, he becomes entangled with the reincarnations of his old allies and uncovers the hidden truths of the martial arts world. A grand conspiracy unfolds—former demons reborn as humans, secret techniques long forgotten, and a power struggle that threatens the balance of the world. (Source: Naver, translated)
