In the Chinese mythological system, all living beings and even some items with special significance can transform into "yao" through cultivation. This differs from the Western mythological system of monsters and demons. "Yao" refers to a kind of semi-divine creature with humanoid features, and reaching the level where they can completely transform into human form is considered a high realm. In the film, all the women are spider demons, and the spider is their true form. The humanoid representation signifies that they are highly advanced spider demons. Among them, the golden spider held by one woman is actually one of the sisters who has not yet cultivated to the human form. Therefore, in Black Myth, we witness many animal-transformed demons with the ability to speak, human-like intelligence, and emotions. This is a characteristic of Chinese mythology. They are not merely mutated beasts driven by instincts for slaughter.

Indeed, the term "goblin" does not accurately encompass the Chinese concept of "妖" (yao). Just as the Chinese dragon cannot be adequately conveyed using the term "dragon," a specific word, "Loong," has been designated for it. "Loong" carries a sense of divinity, being considered sacred and wise in the East, as opposed to being perceived as a winged lizard.@@terryli9860

Hahaha. The reaction to that giant spider is so so funny. Many Chinese Guais are shapeshifters, just like druids but in the opposite way. Their original forms are animals, plants or other life forms other than humans, they somehow have got the intelligence and begin their thousands of years’ practice to become gods. At some point in the middle, they will have the ability to transform into humans. Stories about the romance between humans/gods and guais are quite common in the past and are not scary at all. By the way, wukong himself is a monkey born from a monolithic rock and he doesn’t have a human form at all but he learned to transform into many different forms in the original story. And that becomes one of the most important skill systems in the game.

@@IAmJuiceCup please forgive me if I just extended too far. Reply to 2. The idea that mortal creatures including humans can gain power and become immortal by practicing is kind of a most important concept or faith in Taoism also the Chinese mythology based on Taoism. Actually the reason why there are so many guais in journey to the west is also because they all want to be immortal 😂 reply to 3. The rock itself is very special in the novel too. There is a top tier goddess in Chinese mythology called 女娲(Nu Wa) as the creator of human beings (yes, consider her as the most important god we have). And in the Chinese version of the deluge myth, the flood was caused by a leakage of the sky. Nu Wa was the one who ended that flood by fixing the leak. And here comes the rock, the rock was the leftover from what Nu Wa used to fix the sky. so that’s why Wu Kong was born to be extraordinary.

Before the official game come out, we will not know if the spider is the old lady because if you see the background of the spider and the ceremony, they are kind same place, but they are in different time zones . The ceremony was happened once the whole room is very clean and very beautiful, however, when giant spider comes out, there is dust and net everywhere, so I assume that something happened after the ceremony, and the giant spider is the only one left. In my opinion the spider should be one of those youngers.

This trailer sparked heated discussions on the Chinese internet at the time, and people familiar with Chinese mythological stories inferred a lot from it. The story background may be very extensive, involving some monsters in Journey to the West novels and goddesses in the heavenly palace. It's hard to imagine how a game can describe such a grand story with limited space.

In Chinese Mythology, all spirits, including animals can ascend to higher level through training. Usually goes from simple spirit => Animals => beings with powers (Could shapeshift etc) => Demi-gods Demi-demons => Gods Many monsters, are simply animals (Or objects, could be a musical instrument even) who developed shapeshifting powers, and because humans are rich in energy (Which also makes them tasty), many take shortcuts by eating humans in hope to achieve higher ascension in shorter times. Wukong himself, started as a rock in prime location of natural spirit/energy growth, transition to animal, training and obtained godlike powers.

@@IAmJuiceCup No, you may be mistaken. The other myth I was talking about regarding stones has to do with catastrophe. The story of Nuwa, the originator of the creation of mankind, who used the seven-colored sacred stones to mend heaven. And a leftover seven-colored sacred stone is the origin of Wukong.Additionally I don't think the Black Myth is the story of the original Westward Journey. And this trailer further confirms to me that it was Spider who mistook the player-played character for the real Wukong.

Stop watching the trailer bro, you should watch the gameplay, since there are many from the demo of Gamescome and Hangzhou event. Gameplay is the king and what makes it reliable. Trailer is like more about the story, which western people are quite unfamiliar with. So I don't see any necessity if you do the reaction video.

In case you are interested in the lyrics of the song used int he background - ‘戒网’ (The Precept and the web). The lyrics are beautiful. *Chose and combined the more appropriate translations to share* Credit to @nviwch and @time2go465 M= Male Vocals F= Female Vocals T=Together M: For half a lifetime, a lonely boat drifts in the mountains and the oceans. F: The two worlds of heaven and earth scatter the sorrows of parting. M: Once birds of a flock, with no desires left in our remaining years, F: Patiently waiting for my dark hair to turn white, but all just for nothing M: the clear, untainted water reflecting my heart, F: Only when you return will my resentment end. M: Why is it that love never lasted long even when people are heart-to-heart, F: that clear skies only come after the storm? M: Knowing that I have thousands of thoughts and worries, F: Yet not knowing how to give voice to them. M: Can we hold our hands and grow old together? F: Come take my hand. M: Why is it that love comes late (Why we have not met earlier), that deep love doesn't last? F: Don't care if these feelings are false not, the flower falls and the (water) stream continues M: Knowing that I have ten thousand unresolved worries F: Yet not knowing how to give voice to them. T: Wait until everything sweeps in the west wind and crumble to dust M: Wear out shoes searching across the galaxy, yet not finding your entrancing figure, F: Searching across the entire palace yet not finding my beloved, M: How much can I regret on one rainy night below the moon? F: How can this love endure? M: Not caring for the pursuit of duty, I drink when I can. F: And no one is willing to turn back M: Even if our feelings are mutual, how long can we keep them so? F: Like awakening from drunkenness to find that love isn’t free (freedom) after all. M: Knowing that I have ten thousand unresolved worries F: Yet not knowing how to give voice to them. M: The affairs of the world cannot compare with the rolling hills, F: The mountains cannot compare with the crystal waters. M: Why is it that love comes late (Why we have not met earlier), that deep love doesn't last? F: Don't care if these feelings are false not, the flower falls and the (water) stream continues M: Knowing that I have ten thousand unresolved worries F: Yet not knowing how to give voice to them. T: Wait until everything sweeps in the west wind and crumble to dust M: Waiting alone at a small bridge with the winds blowing through my sleeves, F: Years pass yet the doors remain the same. T: The lamps stay lit at night for you, so will you come home?
