Black Myth: Starting from the Destined One

"After becoming a disciple of the Bodhi Master, he devoted himself to cultivation. The stronger his abilities became, the more robust his two hearts grew. In Taoist terms, these two hearts are known as the Taoist Heart and the Human Heart."


"What is the Taoist Heart, and what is the Human Heart?"


"The Taoist Heart is free from the Six Dusts, representing the true Wukong, which is me; the Human Heart is bound by the Six Dusts, representing the false Wukong, which is you."


"When I fought against these two hearts, the Tathagata of Western Heaven once said that the Taoist Heart would always remain, the Human Heart would forever perish, the false would leave, and the true would be restored."


"If I am the Human Heart Wukong, already forever perished, why am I still alive?"
