The son asked his father why when Sun Wukong was causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace... even the gods could not beat him.

This is a good illustration of two problems: 1. The gods in the sky do not want to show off their treasures casually. Many of them have been practicing for thousands or tens of thousands of years. If you show that you are powerful, you will be punished by the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother in disguise. (Just like today's corrupt officials)

2. One thing brings down another. The monsters fight desperately in order to become famous. This is in huge contrast to those generals who care about their reputation and life. (Nowadays, many people want to be famous and use all kinds of tricks. How many famous people are afraid of making a fool of themselves and often keep a low profile. In fact, if they really fight, Erlang Shen and Nezha can stand alone with Sun Wukong)

3 , Sun Wukong’s is true ability (strength), magic weapon or something (like some protective umbrellas in today’s society, with special functions). Many times, no matter how powerful you are, you may not be able to do something.
