The golden goblet brimmed with clear, verdant wine.
On the loft, Sun Wukong drank as he listened to the Emperor of Shouma Country recount the history of this world.
The stories from his mouth mostly matched with what Sun Wukong had heard, but they were more detailed—it turned out that the original sun disappeared because it was devoured by a Demon Beast that emerged from Chaos.
That Demon Beast split into countless smaller ones, scattered at the center of the world, which is now the Oasis.
"Are you sure it was a Demon Beast?"
Sun Wukong put down his golden goblet and asked, "And not some round thing?"
"There's that rumor as well."
The Emperor replied.
Sun Wukong understood in his heart.
Seeing that Sun Wukong's wine had run out, the Emperor ordered someone to refill it.
Sun Wukong gazed at the translucent wine: "How did the sun of the Northern Wilderness disappear?"
"I don't know."
The Emperor shook his head and said, "But it's likely swallowed by a Demon Beast too."
