One day, an author named Edward Scissorlegs was sitting on the toilet. After finishing his business, he closed the copy of Investiture of the Gods in his hands and asked Zhong Ling, the protagonist he had just thought up:
"Hey, buddy, do you think the gods are necessarily righteous after the Investiture? If these immortals, monsters, mountain spirits, and ghosts came down to the mortal world one day and preyed on its people, would you dare fight them?"
"That depends on how powerful you make me."
"I'll make you the strongest extraordinary being there is! Stronger than the gods!"
"Then I guess I'll beat them into the dirt!"
My cub, protect yourself hahaha
