FeatureHow Investiture Rewrote Shang and Zhou: From Muye to 365 Divine OfficesInvestiture of the Gods did not invent a dynasty from nothing. It took King Zhou's fall, Daji, Bi Gan and Jiang Taigong from Records of the Grand Historian and recomposed them through rival teachings, fox possession and a bureaucratic pantheon. This feature compares only passages verifiable word for word in the local corpus: the chronicle supplies political events and actions; the novel changes their causes, identities and afterlives.

In fiction · Investiture of the Gods

A disciple of the Chan sect under Mount Kunlun, and Jiang Ziya's junior fellow apprentice. Out of jealousy that Jiang Ziya was in charge of the Investiture of the Gods, he defied his master's orders, traveling around to persuade immortals of the Jie sect to protect Shang and oppose Zhou, and repeatedly plotted against Ziya. In the end, he was captured by the Primordial Lord of Heaven and suppressed at the North Sea Eye.
