In the early days of the Investiture of the Gods, undercurrents stir throughout the Three Realms, where danger lurks everywhere. The Jade Emperor sends the crown prince down from Heaven to quell the unrest.
The following year, the prince is ambushed. After three days of bloody battle at Mount Buzhou, he vanishes without a trace, his fate unknown.
…
After the Investiture of the Gods, but before Journey to the West, Chu Changge sits fishing by the Celestial River and reminisces with an old man.
“Let me tell you a secret. Eight years ago, I woke up on Mount Buzhou and found myself surrounded by heavenly soldiers.”
The old man trembles, his eyes instantly turning red. “Child, you woke up on Mount Buzhou?”
“Yep. When I woke up, I found myself surrounded by heavenly soldiers, and somehow they brought me to Heaven.”
“Good child, I’ve finally found you. Call me Dad!”
Chu Changge: “???”
This old man has to be crazy!
The old man grows even more excited. “I’ll tell you a secret too. I’m actually the Jade Emperor! You’re my own son!”
