The Troublemaker
As a child, Nezha was mischievous and fearless. One day, while playing near the East Sea, he encountered the Dragon King’s son, who was terrorizing the local villagers. Nezha, using his magical weapons, defeated the dragon prince and killed him. This act enraged the Dragon King, who demanded justice from Nezha’s father, General Li Jing. To avoid further conflict, Nezha took responsibility for his actions and sacrificed himself, disassembling his own body to repay the debt.

Resurrection and Redemption
After his death, Nezha’s spirit wandered until his mentor, Taiyi Zhenren, reconstructed his body using lotus roots and petals, granting him a new, immortal form. Reborn, Nezha became a protector of the innocent and a fierce warrior against evil. He later assisted the Zhou Dynasty in overthrowing the tyrannical King Zhou of Shang, proving his loyalty and heroism.
