A few shichens earlier...
In the vast solar system, on the path between the third Dimensional World (the Human Realm) and the Moon Star, a huge red fire bird was spreading its wings and flying like a red beam that flew across the dark universe. Such a distinct identity was that of none other than God Ji (the Year of the Chicken), the Vermilion Bird King of the Human Realm...
Shockingly, there was a beam of the Loka Throne Protector's ring swirling around her... and yet she did not grab the ring, so she had not completely obtained the status of the Loka Throne Protector...
"You crazy child, Leng San. How dare you make me the Protector of your Loka Throne?!" God Ji complained. With her status as the Zodiac God, she was too noble to take on the role of the young man’s follower like this.
