Trees are one of the most ancient forms of life.
Sun Wukong looked up at the sky where the Light Tree swayed in the night sky, dreamlike and illusory.
Its light fell upon the ground, awakening the sleeping people of Shouma Country.
"What is that?"
They walked to the window and gazed at the Light Tree in the sky.
"The Radiant Treasure Tree."
Some called out its name.
They had heard of the legend since they were children.
No one had ever seen the Radiant Treasure Tree, but upon seeing the Light Tree, the yearning in their hearts told them it was indeed the Radiant Treasure Tree.
Inside that tree were their Shadows.
This was a resonance carved into their souls.
"You really did it."
Someone said behind Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong turned around to see the gathered civil and military officials.
"It wasn't difficult,"
He told the Emperor of Shouma.
