The story is based on the 57th episode of Journey to the West - "The Real Sun Wukong", in which Sun Wukong is trapped in a mysterious cave by the Yellow Eyebrows Monster. With the help of his best warrior, the King Bull Demon, he sets up a field of life and death for the little demons to fight for their lives, and when they die, he takes their spiritual power and pours it into the mud to create the Six Eared Macaque Monkey, which tries to replace the real Monkey King. The monkeys disguised as monkeys in Mount Huaguo and spent their days with Sun Wukong. He is accustomed to fighting alone and is forced to join forces with other demons to save himself, but he gradually realizes the true meaning of the word "Great Sage".
