Sun Wukong (Monkey King) decided to travel across the ocean to cultivate immortality.
He leaned on a raft in the ocean's vastness, keeping company with the fish and the waves. Month after month, his courage and perseverance seemed to pay off, and he began to see marvelous sights in the ocean's depths as if it were a portal to another world.
But as time passed, he began to perceive the mysteries of the deep gradually. Those schools of fish that used to swim leisurely around him slowly disappeared from his sight as if attracted by some invisible force. The waves also became more violent; no longer the once gentle ocean, it became wild and unpredictable.
His raft, originally his shelter, now began to be attracted by an irresistible force. It was as if this power came from the dark places of the deep sea, changing his destiny without a sound. His raft began to move toward the dark areas of the deep sea slowly, and no matter how much he struggled, he could not stop this irreversible process.
