Chapter 160 The Monkey's Death

As the Giant Spirit God crashed down from the clouds, the other Four Heavenly Kings, whose sizes were slightly smaller, became restless and staggered forward a few steps, as if they wanted to join Erlang Shen in attacking Sun Wukong.

"Seriously, these four gatekeepers are a bit unethical. Erlang Shen already said he wanted to fight Monkey King one-on-one, what kind of scene are you four looking for?"

"As long as you live long enough, you'll still see people in a game's live stream describing the Four Heavenly Kings as gatekeepers."

"Shout! I've disliked these Four Heavenly Kings since I was a kid, and besides, they're just gatekeepers. What's wrong with me saying something?"

The chatter from viewers in the live stream did not affect the progress of the game.

After seeing the Four Heavenly Kings who were about to make a move, Sun Wukong looked at Erlang Shen and said something.

"Nephew, is this what you meant by a one-on-one fight?"

Then, Sun Wukong, using the excuse that the sunlight was too bright, transformed into a little sparrow and led Erlang Shen into the mountains and forests.

This section actually recreates a scene from the original Journey to the West where Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen battled.

After seeing Sun Wukong transform into a sparrow and fly away, Erlang Shen had a sudden thought and also transformed into a gray crane, heading straight for the sparrow that Sun Wukong had transformed into.

Anyone familiar with the original Journey to the West knows that Sun Wukong was slightly outmatched by Erlang Shen in this battle.

"If we follow the meticulous habits of the Star Card production team, after this part, Monkey King will probably suffer a crushing defeat just like in the original story."

In the live stream, a viewer typed their guess in the chat.

As he predicted, things turned out exactly as he expected.

When Sun Wukong, disguised as a sparrow, was flying in mid-air, he was somehow affected and reverted back to his original form.

Furthermore, viewers in the live stream could clearly see that a phantom image of a golden headband had appeared on Sun Wukong's forehead, which was originally empty.

"In the original Journey to the West, wasn't the golden headband removed from Monkey King after the journey to the West was over?"

"No, buddy, this is 'Black Myth: Wukong,' just a game. Don't try to apply the original Journey to the West to everything you see, otherwise the game's plot won't be very interesting."

"That's right. If StarCard really just made a game based on the original Journey to the West, then I really won't be interested in the plot. After all, I've watched the original Journey to the West and the TV series countless times."

While the viewers in the live stream were discussing this, the screen showed that Sun Wukong seemed to have completely lost his ability to resist due to the activation of the golden headband.

Erlang Shen transformed back into his true form, descending from the sky with his three-pointed, double-edged sword, stabbing straight into Sun Wukong's chest.

Two figures crashed down the mountain, causing the earth to shake violently.

"No way."

Su Tao's face was still filled with shock. However, at this moment, the viewers in the live stream were all focused on the monkey, just like when they watched Journey to the West as children. No one paid any attention to her, the streamer.

"No, Monkey King!"

"I just arrived. What happened? Can you tell me?"

"You little brat, are you copying that anime next door, where you kill the Monkey King right at the start?"

"Could the subsequent game's plot simply use the 'Monkey King's Death' as ​​a chronological marker? [Manual doge emoji]"

Under the watchful eyes of all the viewers, the game screen seemed to freeze at this moment, with the sun rising and setting, spring coming and autumn going, summer passing and winter solstice arriving.

Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen had both disappeared.

During this process, an old voice appeared as a narrator, seemingly telling the story of Sun Wukong to the person next to him.

After the tree branches and mist obscured the screen for a moment, the scene transitioned directly to who knows how many years later.

On the site where Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen had their final battle, only a pitted and uneven rock remained.

Beside the rock, the figure of an old ape quietly appeared; it was the old voice that had told the backstory.

As the camera panned, Su Tao and the viewers in the live stream could see that there were quite a few monkeys around the rock.

Besides these, the most eye-catching one was a monkey dressed in coarse linen clothes and a tiger-skin skirt, holding an ordinary iron rod, and whose appearance was seven-tenths similar to Sun Wukong.

"This is... Monkey King? No, no, no, this should be the protagonist of the game, the chosen one who is searching for the six spiritual roots that Monkey King transformed into after his death."

Upon seeing the face of her old friend, Su Tao was momentarily dazed.

The viewers in the live stream, upon seeing the familiar face of the chosen one, immediately began speculating about the subsequent plot of the game.

"How come this chosen one looks exactly like Monkey King? Could it be Monkey King reincarnated?"

"While that's a possibility, it seems unlikely. Perhaps the chosen one will gather all of Monkey King's power after collecting the six spiritual roots, becoming—the Six-Eared Macaque?"

"I have to say, the storyline of StarCard is really interesting. It has definitely piqued my curiosity. I will definitely buy it and play it as soon as it is released."

"I have a question. People overseas don't watch Journey to the West, so can they still appreciate the charm of this game?"

"Sigh, I still feel that Monkey King was a naturally born and nurtured intelligent stone monkey, and shouldn't have died so easily. Perhaps the Star Card didn't intend for Monkey King to die, but merely faked his death to escape?"

"Hey! If you talk nonsense again, I'll kill you!"

Su Tao looked at the numerous guesses given by viewers in the live stream chat, some of which were quite reasonable, and couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"I feel that many of the plot guesses from the brothers in the live stream are very likely to happen, but we will only know what kind of plot the Star Card has designed after the official version is released."

Let's continue playing the test version for now, but there probably won't be much more story content later on, since this is still just a test version.

When she said the last sentence, Su Tao's tone became noticeably regretful. She wished that Xingka would bring up the official version of "Black Myth: Wukong" right now so she could play it to her heart's content.

"Haha, maybe Xingka has already produced the official version of the game, but is keeping it hidden so that everyone can have a good New Year."

"Wow! You really are a genius. Who knows, it might actually be possible!"

Su Tao was also amused by the wildly imaginative comments from her viewers in the live stream.

However, her eyes betrayed her, remaining fixed on the computer screen where the plot was unfolding.

However, to Su Tao's and the hundreds of thousands of viewers in the live stream's surprise, the screen went dark immediately after the game finished telling the opening story.

Fortunately, the screen lit up again soon after, and the chosen one appeared in the middle of a mountain path.

Before the chosen one stood two rather burly wolf demons.
