The Third Prince (小张太子)

[lyon-77]

Fun fact about Black Myth: Wukong. The character design for the Third Prince was initially created for the human form of Erlang's hound, Xiaotian.

Due to time and resource constraints, Game Science had to cut a significant portion of their original plan and repurpose some of their draft work. The extracted game folder for the Third Prince is still labeled "SZLC_xiaotianquan," and it even contains quite a few lines designed for Xiaotian, where you could tell he was originally intended to be the chapter's end boss guiding the destined one to Erlang:

You scruffy rascal, as rough and clumsy as ever. 你这毛鬼，还是如此毛手毛脚 Don’t be so quick to anger. If you've got the skill to break out of here, there'll surely be benefits waiting for you. 别急着恼，若有本事闯出去，定有你的好处 Let me see—which fearless soul dares to challenge [him]? 让我瞧瞧，哪个不怕死的，来此挑战？ Warriers, hear this: Langjun (our lord) values true talent. Should any of you best him, you will be handsomely rewarded! 众将听令，郎君爱才，你们若有人打服了他，重重有赏！ Destiny, it seems, amounts to little indeed. 天命，也不过如此。 Alas, my hopes were misplaced on you. Such mediocre skills—truly shameful. 哎呀，枉费我一场悬望，就这点手段，当真羞煞人。 Interesting, interesting. If Langjun knew your predicament, he might just come to rescue you. We shall meet again. 有趣有趣，郎君若知晓你这般境况，保不齐要来救你一番，我们来日再会。

As mentioned in a previous post, Erlang Shen is also known as Langjun Shen, with "Langjun" being a respectful term when addressing young lords. I love how sassy Xiaotian sounds here, as well as his subtle mention of Erlang. Since we encountered Erlang's five Mt. Mei brothers in the first five chapters, it would be fitting for Xiaotian to appear as the last one and fulfill a similar role in the sixth chapter. And I suppose with Xiaotian's company, Mt. Mei might feel a bit less cold.

It is quite a shame that this didn't get fleshed out in the released version of the game, though I agree with the sentiment that completion is better than perfection for such an ambitious project. This storyline remains in the creative realm, and I hope it can be realized in some way in the DLC.

I was kinda bummed that we didn't get individual character journals for the Four Heavenly Kings, they're too epic to be pass up like that. But then it got me thinking.... could it be that the kings we fought at Mount Mei aren't the real ones? Could it be that they were merely Erlang's (or Maitreya's) conjuration? For each of the character we fought we got a journal page, even Erlang has one, but somehow not the kings? Could it be the real kings are still out there?

Remember that Mount Mei through the mural wall is a secret place and I don't recall it was ever noted that Erlang summoned the kings to join him. I think the kings are more likely to be on the court's side and I doubt they would listen to Erlang for this insanity of a plan helping Wukong to respawn back.

So what would happen if the real kings showed up and saw a suspiciously Wukong-like monkey skedaddling all over the place. Also, they haven't seen Yang Jian for quite a while.

OR?

Somehow Erlang managed to lobby them to join this ruckus with full(or half) awareness of the plan, and when they "appeared" to be vanquished they were simply making way for the Destined One to proceed with the test. Lowkey we got the kings on our side(my upmost JOY tbh and so funny).

Remember that the fireproof mantle was an artifact belonging to the north king Vaiśravaṇa. In JTTW Wukong borrowed it to protect Tang Sanzang when he overheard Elder Jinchi's plan to burn Sanzang's quarter. I thought the artifact was already returned but apparently it's not? Monkey been messing around with Vaiśravaṇa's artifact and broke his umbrella, Erlang better make a good excuse for allowing this.

I'm just so fond of them yo. A whack ass DLC with the kings on my side would be a dream come true, take Juling Shen too while we're at it!

I do LOVE how the people's general reaction to Erlang is just teetering between unbridled hatred and/or frustrated admiration.

Watching gamers having the worst time of their life trying to beat him but at the same time being down horrendous over how gorgeous he is. They're always like ,"man I hate you so much how about you die", and then saw how he side steps their asses and his deadly twirl. A few fails later and they'd still unironically say ,".....well alright he's handsome tho."

Damn right I'd say. That post-battle cutscene with the totally intentional close up shot of his face and the ethereal sunlight. My last straw right there.
