I bet that some of the players who've read the novel had to explore the areas within the chapter in order to get the items necessary to deal with the Daoist. Such a nice touch of details the dev put into the game. I cried too after seeing the end chapter animation. They did wonderful job on wrapping the love story of Bajie and Violet spider. Their daughter somehow resembles the looks of both of them, bet they use some kind of AI to combine the looks and generate a new one.

yeah agreed! It must be AI that they used to generate their daughter's look!

Chapter 4 and Chapter 5 are my favorite explained chapters of the game. I don't think that Bodhisattva Pilanpo is dead and my argument would be to look at Bodhisattva Lingji. When Lingji had his head cut off by the Yellow Wind Sage, he was still alive. So I think that Pilanpo is still alive even after having her hands cut off by the Hundred-Eyed Daoist Master. I also like the design and naming of the Duskveil. Since Maori Xingguan is known as the Dawnstar, the Duskveil is the perfect name for the corrupted form of the rooster. A kind of opposite naming convention. I also think that the Duskveil isn't dead. If he is like Kang-Jin Loong, who didn't fade away after being defeated by the Destined One, maybe both the rooster and the dragon can be revived/revitalized. Maybe some Bodhisattva or a member of the Celestial Court could help the Duskveil return to his true form as Maori Xingguan. And I'm curious, are Bodhisattvas immortal just like the deities of the Celestial Court or are they just as mortal as humans? I also hope that if Black Myth: Wukong gets DLC or expansion games, I hope we see the Fourth Sister again. And I'm sure that Violet Spider is still alive since it's most likely that Zhu Bajie took one of the lotus pods from the Envious Tongue Relic.

Holy cow, didn't know that the youngest spider girl was bajie's offspring. That's why I remembered the violet spider said something like "You shouldn't be here" to the girl in the story line.

This segment of the ending cutscene from Black Myth: Wukong presents a tragic and complex love story involving Tian Peng (later known as Zhu Bajie) and the celestial figures in his past. Unlike traditional depictions, in this retelling, Tian Peng admires the Taiyin Star Lord (not the moon goddess Chang’e). Along his journey, he encounters a celestial maiden, one of the Taiyin Star Lord’s attendants, who holds the title "Chang’e" (since all of her attendants bear this title as an official rank, rather than as an individual name). It is this Chang’e who falls in love with Tian Peng. Tian Peng's fate takes a sharp turn when he inadvertently stumbles upon a secret meeting between the Jade Emperor and the Taiyin Star Lord. Fearing that his reputation might be tarnished by this discovery, the Jade Emperor punishes Tian Peng by banishing him to the mortal world, where he is transformed into a pig demon. The Chang’e attendant, unable to forget Tian Peng, sacrifices her immortality and descends to the mortal world, taking the form of a spider demon. She chooses this fate in order to be near him, knowing that it will lead to her eventual death. When Zhu Bajie, now in his pig demon form, arrives at Gao Village, he mistakes a mortal woman named Gao Cuilan for his lost love, the Chang’e he remembers. Driven by his love and longing, he pursues her, but Gao Cuilan, terrified by Bajie's true form, rejects him. This mistaken identity deepens the tragedy of Bajie's emotional confusion. As Zhu Bajie continues his journey westward, he eventually reaches the Pansi Cave, where he encounters the reincarnated Chang’e, now in the form of the Spider Demon. She immediately recognizes Bajie despite his pig-headed form. The two fall in love once again, and she gives birth to his daughter. However, due to her absorbing one of Bajie’s six roots (spiritual senses), her fate is sealed, and she knows that her death is inevitable. She chooses to stay with him until the end, waiting in the cave, hoping to show him their daughter. Before her death, the Spider Demon poignantly remarks, “You’re still as foolish as before.” This statement refers not only to Bajie’s earlier mistake in confusing Gao Cuilan with her, but also to his reluctance to acknowledge their daughter and their love out of fear of retribution from the Heavenly Court. The Spider Demon understands that Bajie’s denial is his way of protecting them from the inevitable consequences of divine punishment. Though Bajie is harsh towards her in their final moments, both he and the Spider Demon understand the emotional undercurrents beneath their words. Bajie knows that acknowledging his love for her would bring ruin upon them, and his cold words are an attempt to sever ties for their safety. Nevertheless, the Spider Demon knows that Bajie still cares for her and their daughter, and she accepts her fate. In her final moments, the Spider Demon dies with the knowledge that she has seen Bajie one last time. The entire exchange is a bittersweet reflection of their doomed love. Both Zhu Bajie and the Spider Demon are ancient beings who understand each other's hearts without needing to say much. Their final conversation, despite its apparent harshness, reveals the depth of their love and the helplessness of their situation. The tragic reality is that they are both bound by the rules of the celestial and mortal realms, and their love, though powerful, is not enough to overcome these constraints. The closing lines of their exchange also carry symbolic weight. The Spider Demon, in a wordplay on “spider” and “pig,” says, “You know what Tian Peng reincarnated as? He became a pig. Then I shall become a spider.” This reflects their inevitable, cyclical fates, predetermined by the heavens. Despite their deep connection, fate has written them into roles where they are destined never to truly be together, like a pair where one spins webs while the other is caught in them. This imagery ties into the ancient ideal of “man plows, woman weaves,” a metaphor for the domestic, agricultural harmony that is unattainable for them in their tragic love story.

Thank you Bing. There is a tombstone behind the big tree which is located near the entrance of secret painting. In front of the tombstone, there is a curio. I found someone said that the tombstone is for Violet Spider and the curio was gifted to her by Bajie. I want to see your opinions and explanation on this part. Thank you.

He still a pig? He should be an altar cleansing after the journey. and in tv series both him and the third disciple are very unique because even they they reincarnated to become a demon on earth, they still remember their previous life as heaven officer. And I don't know about the gods and buddha, but in Chinese mythology every demon on earth despite supernatural still can become old and eventually die

@bingtalksofficial 4 ай бұрын

Yes he's still a pig after the journey. Altar Cleansing is like a rank, which didn't transform him back to Admiral Tian Peng. Similarly, Wukong got Victorious fighting buddha but still a monkey.
