Will
Will (灵蕴), is an important resource in Black Myth: Wukong, the icon means Immortal Peaches (蟠桃).
Background
Immortal peaches are one of the salaries of the gods in Journey to the West. A large number of Immortal Gods participate in each Peach Festival.
In the Garden of Immortal Peaches, there are three thousand six hundred trees. In the front are one thousand two hundred trees with little flowers and small fruits. These ripen once every three thousand years, and after one taste of them a man will become an immortal enlightened in the Way, with healthy limbs and a lightweight body. In the middle are one thousand two hundred trees of layered flowers and sweet fruits. They ripen once every six thousand years. If a man eats them, he will ascend to Heaven with the mist and never grow old. At the back are one thousand two hundred trees with fruits of purple veins and pale yellow pits. These ripen once every nine thousand years and, if eaten, will make a man’s age equal to that of Heaven and Earth, the sun and the moon.
In adaptations of the Journey to the West story and conspiracy theory analyses, it is widely believed that the peaches of immortality are an important resource for the Heavenly Court to control the gods, as it indirectly controls their lifespan. Some analyses suggest that the energy crisis brought about by the shortage of immortal peaches in the Black Mythos is one of the reasons for the world's turmoil in the game's setting.
