Wukong left the Peach Garden only to see the entire world grievously wounded, with the heavens and earth shattered and the sun and moon damaged.
This realm was so utterly broken that it scarcely looked like itself anymore, with the essence of chaos seeping in everywhere, devoid of any living beings.
Guided by his memories, Wukong traveled to Dongsheng Immortal State. Flower-Fruit Mountain too had been destroyed in the great catastrophe of the world, now lying in utter ruin.
Wukong found it hard to believe that everything that had happened to him was merely a great dream of the Spring and Autumn period. All those grandiose words and crafty schemes, deceitful plots were nothing but emptiness. In the end, he had achieved Buddhahood, embraced the void in the principle of 'all is empty.' Moreover, a sleep had spanned so many years, and now everything was no longer there.
