Sun Wukong, after attaining enlightenment and gaining the status of the Victorious Warrior Buddha, is still a figure who cannot just sit still. Although he has become much calmer than his rebellious youth, his boredom sometimes makes him act recklessly in Heaven.
He often disturbs the gods, bothers the Bodhisattvas, and even tickles Ru Lai Buddha with strange questions that are difficult to answer. Sometimes, he steals peaches from the gods' garden, sometimes he transforms into an old priest just to trick the naive young gods.
Although his actions are now more like jokes than the great rebellion that almost destroyed Heaven, his behavior still makes the inhabitants of heaven tired.
Ru Lai Buddha, with his wisdom, always tries to advise Sun Wukong with wise words. He talks about the meaning of balance, inner peace, and true happiness that a Buddha should seek.
However, Sun Wukong always finds loopholes in Ru Lai's words, turning them into debates or even jokes. "If calmness is everything, why do monks still talk? Isn't silence wiser?" he asks with a characteristic grin.
Ru Lai could only sigh, realizing that Sun Wukong was a being who could not be controlled by mere words. The gods began to worry, and the Bodhisattvas felt that perhaps, for the first time, even Buddha could be overwhelmed by this Monkey King.
However, when Sun Wukong acted up again by trying to enter a dimension that was forbidden to ordinary gods.
The gods including Gautama Buddha tried to stop Sun Wukong who was already presumptuous.
However, Sun Wukong still opened the door to the forbidden sky realm which was automatically connected to a realm far above them.
Something that had never happened before happened.
The sky suddenly became silent. The universe seemed to hold its breath. A divine hand appeared from the void, not in physical form, but as the pure essence of an undefeatable will.
From that hand, a voice was heard, not a voice that could be described with words, but a voice that directly penetrated the core of every being's existence. Jehovah, the highest authority of Heaven, who was the representation of the will of the Divine, had revealed part of his essence.
Only His voice and hands were present, but their effect exceeded any cosmic destruction or heavenly tremors.
The gods from all corners of mythology, from the Olympians to Asgard, from the celestial beings in theological beliefs to the angels of the various heavenly levels, all knelt down.
They could not raise their heads, could not speak, could not even think of resistance or hesitation.
Jehovah did not command them to submit, but His very existence made everything in heaven and earth kneel without any force.
Sun Wukong, who was usually full of confidence, who had once challenged the Jade Emperor and even punched the gods, was silent this time. He could not make a sound, could not move, because the being before him was not just a sacred being or a supreme god, but the authority of existence itself.
Jehovah was the manifestation of the holy will of the true God.. the Great God.
In the undeniable silence, the divine voice spoke:
"Sun Wukong, you who have attained wisdom, yet still play with eternity, do you wish to understand the true meaning of existence?"
Sun Wukong, for the first time in his life, did not know how to answer.
But, being the mischievous Sun Wukong that he was, he asked immediately, "Who are you?!"
"I AM," said the voice, "I AM."
It spoke not in English, Latin, Hebrew, or Greek. Its Logos was the highest – all words, songs, and languages that would ever be. It echoed from the Void and shot out of the Heavens, filling Nothingness with All.
It spoke in the void of possibility: all-that-is-not-yet-all-things-will-be-all-in-time. The timbre of its voice made the void vibrate, and many songs began to spin themselves to life in the dying silence.
"I do not know how something so great can have such a terrifying aura!" Sun Wukong said with a slightly serious and frightened face.
Behind the enormous ripples, the tremors throughout the theological world would indicate the great destruction of this world.
Those who are likened to the pinnacle of all understanding, surpassing all conceivable limits in the world of physics, geophysics, mathematics, and even core concepts such as large cardinals, formulas, laws of identity, and laws of nature. In all respects, those who are likened to the pinnacle hold an unrivaled position.
Even if the pinnacle, it is able to shift all who try to shift its position back to absolute zero, even if the author says that nothing is stronger than the character he wrote either in the past, present, or future..
It is just a metaphor for ordinary children in the absolute majesty of Jehovah as the highest transcendent heavenly Authority.
Although the name Jehovah is used to honor the Divine, the Divine has another purpose.
Jehovah is a transcendent existence that is the highest authority of heaven, even all the gods in mysticism will be afraid of his majesty. He cannot be shifted from his position as the highest Authority of Heaven.
Jehovah who is so great and powerful is only a representation of the will of the Great Divine in heaven, Jehovah does not bring the 3 Abrahamic religions of the real world, Jehovah will remain the highest and most powerful authority in Heaven.
That is the purpose of the Great Divine.
To be more precise, Jehovah is not a Transcendent divine creature, but the will of the Divine Himself.
Jehovah is the holder of the highest Authority in Heaven, and he can never be shifted. How come? Even the gods of other mystics and mythologies would be burned by Jehovah's glorious light if they saw his presence.
Sun Wukong remained rooted to the spot. For the first time in his adventurous and rebellious existence, he truly felt something he could not fully comprehend—not ordinary fear, not forced respect, but a form of awareness deeper than anything he had ever experienced.
Jehovah did not move, showed no emotion, yet every shred of reality vibrated as if awaiting his command. The light of his majesty did not hurt, but was too overwhelming to comprehend. Behind him, the laws that shaped Heaven, Hell, and everything in between seemed but a tiny reflection of his will. The gods who remained conscious could only prostrate themselves deeper, fearing the slightest consequence if they raised their heads.
"Rise, all of you!" the voice cried.
Sun Wukong, however, though lost in awe and shock, still had the soul of a warrior. With a trembling voice, but still full of his characteristic vigor, he finally spoke again.
"If you are the highest authority, does that mean you have determined everything from the beginning? Even my own destiny?" Sun Wukong asked boldly.
Jehovah did not answer immediately. His divine light flickered with a rhythm that could only be understood by those who truly existed beyond the concepts of time and space.
Then, with absolute calm, his voice resounded again.
"I am the Divine Will, the holder of the highest Authority of Heaven. But you, Sun Wukong, are given free will to choose your own path. However, the choice you make is not something you can hide from me," the voice cried.
Sun Wukong tightly gripped his golden staff, not in defiance, but as a way to calm himself. He had faced the Jade Emperor, Ru Lai Buddha, and even faced suffering and enlightenment on his path to Buddhahood.
However, in front of Jehovah, he felt like a speck of dust in the midst of an infinite void.
The light from that divine being was not merely a gleam that he could conquer, nor was it energy that he could absorb—it was the pure essence of existence itself. For the first time, Sun Wukong realized that there was something truly beyond his reach, something he could not challenge, could not surpass, and could not defeat in any way.
