During the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, Di Xin burned himself to death and was not entered onto the Investiture of the Gods!
Millions of years later, his soul merges with Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, just before the Journey to the West begins. The immortals and Buddhas spreading their teachings? They are merely raising humankind as offerings for incense!
“I am Di Xin, the Human King!” “I am Li Shimin, emperor of the Tang Dynasty!”
Two souls share one body, their fury shaking the Three Realms: “No immortals or Buddhas may set foot in Tang territory!”
The gods want to enslave humanity? Topple their altars! The Buddha wants us to convert? Smash the land of bliss!
In this life, with the defiance of King Zhou and the might of the Tang Dynasty, they swear to make humanity self-reliant, with no immortals or Buddhas ruling over them ever again!
