After that , time passes very well and every single monkey has the best time of his life . Suddenly , the life of the monkeys starts turning around and the population of the monkeys starts increasing . It increases so much that there is not enough space for all of the monkeys . There is also not enough food for all of the monkeys so they were starving and suffering . Sadly , none of them could get rid of their life because they couldn ’ t erase the name of everyone from the life and death book . This meant that they could not die , but had to just suffer . This problem started increasing even more as the population of the monkeys increased . The monkeys started looking for a solution to solve the problem . Unfortunatly , they could not find any solution for the great problem . They had to live this way for the rest of the lives and they couldn ’ t even sacrifice their life . So , they had to suffer this way .
As the time passed , the monkeys start having a change in their bodies . They became less monkey and more human . They started walking on 2 legs and and had less of a monkey body . After several different stages , they turned into a human structure . Even after this big problem , the birth-rate didn ’ t drop and the number of monkeys suffering kept increasing . The problems got worse and worse . One day Sun Wun Kong ’ s great great grandson was born . This was the happiest moment for all the monkeys because they thought that this new born baby would grow up and find a solution for their problems . The baby was named Huang Sun Kong . The people thought he would bring new life for the others .
He was born really strong compared to the normal babies . He had a lot of strength when he was born . His parents gave him their finger to hold . He held it so tightly that when they tried to leave his finger they could not . He used to kick his legs . They were so strong that if he kicked you , you would have pain where he had kicked . Slowly he started growing up . He was given special training to make him capable of finding the solution for the problem for the others .
His father and grandfather were not that strong or capable of doing anything . They were born disabled , but his great great grand grandfather Sun Wun Kong was the strongest among everyone . He took on the responsibility to train Huang . He started his training from a very small age , around 5 years old . He was taught to do everything by himself . There was a twist in the story . Huang was not told about the current situation of the others and that they were suffering . He was kept away from them so that he wouldn ’ t find out about them and become less strong by looking at the pain that was suffered by the others .
He was told that he had to learn everything because he had to protect his people and to become the next emperor . Therefore , he needed to be capable . However , one day when he was hanging out with his friends he went into an area that he was not allowed in . It was the area were the people with the extreme pain lived . He went there and saw all the people and he received a major shock . He ran back home and asked Sun Wun Kong about what he had seen . Sun Wun Kong had no choice but to tell him the truth . Huang was so hurt by all this that he left his house and went somewhere for few days . Nobody could find him .
