"In grace and charm, Nuwa's form so fair,
If clay could breathe, a maiden rare,
To Chang Le's palace, my heart laid bare,
I'd take her, serve, beyond compare."
Have I truly traversed to the waning era of the Shang Dynasty?
And am I, in fact, the very inept and despotic Emperor Di Xin ?
Label me licentious? I shall endure!
Accuse me of an alcohol addict? I shall also endure!
Brand me as a dumb ruler? Absolutely not!
I shall rally the Dragon Clan against calamity, rebel the Heavenly Court, upholding the sovereign authority of the Human Emperor!
I shall replenish the national treasury, fostering education and winning the hearts of the people, restoring the grandeur of Great Shang!
Whether it is the Western Powers, the Heavenly Court, or the Chan Religion,  I shall not yield.
Whether it is the Human race, the Divine race, and the Demonic race, I shall command them all!
For I am Emperor Di Xin of the Humans! The first sage monarch in history!

My Reign as a Fatuous Monarch in the Shang Dynasty

"This child is truly extraordinary, a pride of the heavens. If properly nurtured, he could become a pillar of our Shang!" Di Xin looked at Li Jing with joy.


He was particularly afraid that Li Jing would have biases against Nezha, turning the innocent spirit pearl into a world-devouring demon king. Now that Nezha was under Di Xin's supervision, he must ensure proper guidance and prevent any harm to the friendly relationship between humans and dragons.


"I came to Zhao Ge specifically to discuss Nezha's apprenticeship. Taiyi Zhenren from Qianyuan Cave wishes to take Nezha as his disciple. I came to inquire about Your Majesty's opinion," Li Jing explained.


"Oh? If Nezha can gain the favor of Taiyi Zhenren, it would indeed be a great opportunity," Di Xin responded.
