Based on the classic novel Investiture of the Gods, this book strictly follows the original's main plot without changing any key events. It retells this classic myth of immortals and mortals, and gods clashing with one another, in lively, accessible modern language.
From King Zhou's disrespectful offering of incense at Nuwa Palace, which sparks conflict across the Three Realms, to Jiang Ziya's descent from the mountains at his master's command to aid the world and help the Zhou overthrow Shang Zhou, then the immortals of the Chan and Jie Sects entering the mortal realm and displaying their powers, the story preserves the sweeping arc of the Investiture world all the way to King Wu's victory and the gods taking their appointed places.
The book sets aside obscure classical language in favor of a light, witty pace, making the stiff image of immortals more lively and entertaining, while adding a touch of everyday warmth to the solemn war between immortals and demons. Faithful to the spirit of the original while suited to modern reading habits, it offers a fun, accessible retelling that lets readers understand the classic through humor and enjoy the full story of Investiture with ease.
