A thousand years ago
Breaking news!
The arrogant and tyrannical Demon Lord Mohe was openly flirted with by an unknown little Buddha.
Mohe charged into the Western Pure Land and swallowed the Buddha whole. The Heavenly Dao struck him with three thousand bolts of heavenly tribulation lightning.
The Peacock Wisdom King was killed beneath Mount Kunlun.
This sparked a century-long war between demons and gods.
Who could have guessed that the Phoenix would give the fire of rebirth to its nine sons?
Mohe turned into an egg and fell into a deep sleep at the foot of Mount Kunlun.
Mohe: "Just wait till I get out of here. I'll kill every last one of you!"
A thousand years later
Shan Siyuan, who absolutely refused to enter the world, went to clear some land in the hills behind his home with a hoe.
One swing unearthed a gray egg.
Shan Siyuan: "A pheasant egg? I'll take it home and boil it. Time for a feast."
And so the peerless Peacock Wisdom King hatched in a pot of boiling soup.
Before taking human form
Shan Siyuan: "Little bird, come here."
Mohe: "Chirp!" Get lost!
Shan Siyuan: "Little bird, eat some millet."
Mohe: "Chirp, chirp!" Go die!
Shan Siyuan: "Little bird, call me Daddy."
Mohe: "Chirp, chirp, chirp!" Get the hell away from me!
After taking human form
Mohe: "Foolish mortals, you stand before the supreme ruler of all demon beasts!"
"I was conferred the title of Wisdom King. I once stormed the Western Pure Land alone and defeated hundreds of gods and Buddhas."
"You insignificant ants would do well to kneel before me!"
Shan Siyuan: "Little bird, stop messing around." With that, he grabbed the Peacock Wisdom King by the scruff of his neck, sealing his fate.
