Sun Wu Kong, having declared himself "Emperor of Heaven," continues his antagonistic campaign against the Jade Emperor and his allies until the gods surrender and offer the Handsome Monkey King the official title of "Emperor of Heaven." Charged with keeping watch over a heavenly peach orchard, Sun Wu Kong cannot help but cause trouble throughout the heavens. When the monkey's antics anger the Jade Emperor for a second time, a new military campaign is launched against the monkeys, which culminates in Sun Wu Kong facing the one being who might bring his mischief to an end: Buddha himself. Stunned by the defeat of his warriors, the Jade Emperor asks the Buddha to intervene. While the Buddha holds Sun Wu Kong in the palm of his hand, he makes a wager that the monkey will not be able to escape. When Sun Wu Kong tries to escape, Buddha slams him into the earth, and creates a mountain with his five fingers to trap the monkey for five hundred years.
