The monkey said, "But this prophecy has been misread. Several supreme beings, through heaven-defying efforts, calculated this cause and effect and directly blamed it on the Imperial Clan of Luotian. Thus, during the 36th epoch's great calamity of the old Emperor, they ruthlessly made their move. Such an event... had never occurred before. You probably know the outcome a little bit. The old Emperor fell, those supreme beings also suffered heavy injuries, and even more so, they were backlash by the force of karma, all turning into statues. Only a wisp of breath was left, struggling to survive. But beings that have reached such a realm have many tricks up their sleeves. So, even in their semi-dead state, they interfered once more with the last generation Luotian Emperor's surge towards the ancestral realm. Causing him to fail, to suffer heavy injuries, and even forcing him to abdicate the throne. He handed over the imperial seat to his eldest son."
