As for the later pilgrimage to the Western Heaven.
Lin Heng speculated that this was also to quell the anger of all parties without offending Lady Nuwa, and thus was a kind of punishment given to Sun Wukong on the surface.
And the reason for the later incident of the true and false Monkey King was probably because it was detected that Nuwa had already reincarnated and cultivated again.
Only then did the Western Heaven dare to act against Sun Wukong.
Of course, the reason for using the Six-Eared Macaque to impersonate him was probably also for the Heaven Repairing Merit left for Sun Wukong by Nuwa.
And that Heaven Repairing Merit was in the custody of Bodhisattva Guanyin.
Bodhisattva Guanyin later became estranged from the Tathagata Buddha, so much that even the Buddha's Fruit Position was not achieved, probably because she was unwilling to give that merit to the fake Sun Wukong.
"In this way, Nuwa and Bodhisattva Guanyin are indeed connected..."
Lin Heng muttered to himself.
