The deep and somewhat mind-bending storyline of Black Myth: Wukong is what attracts gamers all over the world. Each chapter of the game reveals more clues about the arduous journey of Thien Menh Nhan in finding his lost six roots. Thien Menh Nhan's enemies in Black Myth: Wukong - those who hinder him - are not limited to the Heavenly Court. So who else is secretly working?
Clues about the enemy of Destiny?
With the developments taking place after chapter 6, the next developments are still relatively open, promising to bring more interesting things when Game Science officially releases the next DLCs. At this point, it seems that Thien Menh Nhan's opponents will not only include Thien Dinh.
It is easy to see that from the beginning of the plot until chapter 6 of Black Myth: Wukong, the character Thien Menh Nhan has always had to confront powerful forces from Heaven. At the beginning of the story, Ton Ngo Khong was defeated by Duong Tien and the Four Great Heavenly Kings, causing his six roots to be broken.
When entering chapter 6, everything becomes clearer when in order to face the challenge of meeting Stone Monkey and searching for the last six roots of the Great Sage, gamers will have to go through an arduous journey to the mountain, with the appearance of a series of heavenly soldiers and generals. Right from the first moments of the chapter, the fact that we have to confront Vuong Tinh Quan, one of the most powerful figures of the Heavenly Court, clearly shows the opposing faction that the Great Sage is facing.
Not stopping there, in chapter 4 of Black Myth: Wukong, Tu Muoi was “kidnapped” by the Crane Immortal Lord, and was likely refined into an elixir. The Crane Immortal Lord even sent a challenge, that if she wanted to see her again, she should go to heaven in the next life. However, this raises a big question: is Heaven the only opponent that Sun Wukong has to face? Not necessarily, because it seems that Linh Son is also a formidable force.
Gamers' analysis summary
Some people believe that in chapter 5, through the dialogue of Hong Hai Nhi, it was Linh Son that caused the “blood debt” and pushed Nguu Ma Vuong’s family into the current tragic situation. The role of the Heavenly Court is also mentioned here, when Princess Thiet Phien was forced to drink the water of Tu Mau River right in front of her master – who in the original work would become Thai Thuong Lao Quan.
Furthermore, the role of Linh Son is even more clearly shown through the travelogue of Hac Hung Tinh. This bear was originally subdued and returned to Nam Hai, but then received orders to participate in the battle with Ton Ngo Khong. Thanks to that, Hac Hung Tinh was given a part of Dai Thanh's six roots to guard.
Black Bear Spirit once shared with Red Boy that he himself had to participate in a battle with a low survival rate, in which the Bull Demon King also participated. These details further strengthen the hypothesis that Linh Son could become an opposing force to Ton Ngo Khong, from the perspective of gamers.
The plot is still quite vague, so we cannot determine whether the enemies of Thien Menh Nhan in Black Myth: Wukong will only have that many or not. However, this is the point that makes this game become globally famous. And you, what do you think about this issue?
