The Secret of the Eternal Stone: The Path of Wukong (BlackMyth: Wukong) Fairy Tale

In ancient times, there existed a wonderful world between the sky and the earth where all living beings lived in peace. In this world, humans, animals, gods, and even monsters coexisted, forming friendships and overcoming difficulties together. However, there was one thing that no one knew in this world: what the ultimate purpose of everything was. Some tried to understand it, while others paid it no mind, but all kept this secret.

At the highest mountain of this world, there was a sacred place that had been hidden since ancient times. Only the bravest and wisest warriors could find it. There, a unique thing called the "Eternal Stone" was concealed. The power of this stone was limitless, and it had the ability to not only grant strength but also reveal all the secrets of the world.

One day, the ancient agreement between the Gods and Humans was broken, and darkness and chaos began to invade the world. Injustice, cruelty, and fear spread throughout the land. Even though humans cried out for the gods' help, they remained unheard. At that moment, a peculiar creature named Ukun, a black monkey, descended from the sky to help the people. Ukun's fate was intricately linked to that of this world, though he did not yet know it.

Ukun possessed not only strength and cunning but also wisdom and justice. Without understanding his true purpose, he wandered the world, searching for his own path. However, one day he heard of the legendary "Eternal Stone." To find this stone, Ukun set out on a long and perilous journey. He was challenged to face many trials, battle numerous monsters, and most importantly, overcome his own inner weaknesses.

Ukun began his journey in a sacred forest known as the "Endless Forest," a place untouched by human feet, with a nature that was truly unique. In this forest, days and nights did not alternate, and it felt as if time itself had stopped. Ukun wandered in this forest for a week, yet it seemed as if he was standing still. Over time, he realized that mere physical strength would not solve anything here. Thus, Ukun sought to uncover the forest's secrets.

One day, deep within the forest, he saw a very large and ancient tree. The secrets of the forest were hidden within this tree. Beside it were three different doors, each sealed with a riddle. As Ukun approached the first door, he read the riddle:

"What is close to the sky, the earth, and the hearts of humans?"

Ukun pondered and tried to understand the connection between the sky, the earth, and the hearts of people. Despite thinking for a long time, he could not find the answer. However, while listening to the birds of the forest, he noticed a certain rhythm in their songs. This rhythm harmonized with the whispers of the wind and the leaves of the trees. "Love," he said with a smile. "Love is close to everything: to the sky, to the earth, and to the hearts of humans." The first door opened.

The riddle of the next door was as follows:

"In my power lies all the secrets of the world, but when people see me, they are afraid. Who am I?"

Ukun did not find the solution to this riddle immediately. He began exploring the secrets of the world and the fears of humans. After several days of contemplation, he finally found the answer. "Death," he said quietly. "Death is the greatest secret of the world, and many fear it." The second door also opened.

Before the third door, Ukun hesitated, as this riddle was very complex:

"I am everywhere, without me, there is no life, yet no one sees me. Who am I?"

This riddle deeply confused Ukun. He explored every corner of the forest and paid attention to every creature, but still could not find the answer. As time passed, he began to lose hope, feeling as though he might never escape the forest. But one day, he focused on the tranquility of the forest. When everything was silent, Ukun realized something: he too was a part of the silence. The answer was right there: "Air," he said confidently. "Air is everywhere, without it, there is no life, yet no one sees it." The third door also opened.

After the third door opened, Ukun entered a vast cave. Inside this cave lay the "Eternal Stone." However, as he took the stone, he felt very weak. The stone imposed a great responsibility on him and revealed all the secrets of the world. Ukun now understood his true duty: he must not use this stone for his own interests, but rather to maintain the balance of the world.

But at that moment, darkness rose again and attacked Ukun. This darkness stemmed from the cruelty and injustice of the former gods. It wanted to plunge the world back into chaos. Ukun fought against the darkness with the power of the stone, putting all his effort into vanquishing it. However, in this battle, he lost much of his strength.

As a simple creature, Ukun was ready to sacrifice his life to restore the world. He placed the stone in the center of the forest, spreading its power throughout the world and restoring justice and peace.

However, Ukun was never truly lost. His spirit remained preserved in every corner of the world, granting wisdom and strength to people. Over time, legends about Ukun spread everywhere. He became not only a hero but also the protector of the world, a symbol of justice. Ukun's deeds and wisdom continuously inspire people to strive for justice and peace, urging them to use their strengths rightly. Ukun's tale teaches every person that they can discover their true power and use it for the good of the world.

Thus, after this legend, future generations began to understand the meaning of life, striving for justice and peace, and walking the path of wisdom, strength, and kindness. Ukun's courage found eternal place in every heart, guiding people towards true heroism.
