History[]
Past[]
The Jade Emperor ascended to power in the Celestial Realm, giving rise to the existence of the divine realm. His primary role was to maintain order and prevent the universe from descending into chaos by harnessing the Power of the Jade Emperor. However, while the celestial subjects reveled in their blissful existence, the mortal realm suffered greatly under the Celestial Host's hollow rule.[2] On a fateful day, Monkey King received an invitation to the Celestial Realm, but to his dismay, he was assigned the lowly position of a stable boy. Monkey King rejected the offer, refusing to accept such a demeaning role.[3] Eventually, the Jade Emperor decided to task the Monkey King with the responsibility of guarding the sacred Peaches of Immortality. Instructed not to partake in their divine fruit, Monkey King disregarded the Emperor's command and indulged himself. This act of defiance marked the beginning of his descent into darkness within the Celestial Realm. The Monkey King's audacity knew no bounds as he committed heinous acts, including breaking into Lao Tzu's laboratory to steal his pills, hoping to attain immortality.[4]
Azure Lion, Peng, and Yellowtusk once occupied roles in the Celestial Realm, but due to the Jade Emperor's neglect of mortal concerns despite his ability to intervene,[5] they departed and encountered Monkey King, discovering his defiance against the Jade Emperor.[3] The Brotherhood made a collective decision to orchestrate a coup in the Celestial Realm, aiming to dethrone the Jade Emperor and install the Monkey King as the new ruler. Their intention was to use the Jade Emperor's power to improve the mortal realm. The Brotherhood confronted both the Celestial Court and the Celestial Armies, and it seemed like victory was within their grasp. However, their hopes were shattered when the Jade Emperor himself appeared and successfully defeated the Monkey King, compelling the Brotherhood to surrender.[2]
Revenge of the Spider Queen[]
After the Monkie Kids and Red Son agreed to team up, they went to the Celestial Realm to get the Celestial Artifacts so they can make an antidote to the Spider Queen's venom. However, they got into trouble when they ran into the Spider Demons and the Lion Guardians once they got the artifacts. Despite this, they were able to escape from them and leave the Celestial Realm.
Dumpling Destruction[]
After a scuffle with Monkey King, one of the celestials accidentally dropped a soup dumpling, letting it hurdle towards the Earth.
On the Run (flashback)[]
Monkey King, determined to obtain the map to the Rings of Samadhi, made his way back to the Celestial Realm. He infiltrated the Temple of Ne Zha, where the map was safeguarded by a formidable barrier. Undeterred, he engaged in a fierce battle with Ne Zha, who adamantly refused to let him have the map. Monkey King conjured multiple copies of himself to restrain Ne Zha, allowing him to forcefully breach the barrier. Unfortunately, the act resulted in the destruction of the temple and inflicted grave injuries upon both Monkey King and Ne Zha. Despite the injuries, Monkey King successfully obtained the map and, sensing imminent danger to MK in the hands of Lady Bone Demon, swiftly returned to the Mortal Realm.
Roast of the Monkie Kids[]
Ne Zha, Red Son, and the Celestial Warriors gathered to prepare for the arrival of the Brotherhood.
The Jade Emperor[]
The Brotherhood and Ink Demons were dominating the Celestial Armies, pulling them into the Scroll of Memory. Azure Lion intercepted Ne Zha's attack and cautioned about impending defeat, ensnaring Red Son within the scroll. Despite Ne Zha's efforts to defend alone, he was soon overwhelmed by Peng's projectiles. Azure Lion urged him to stand down, but Ne Zha adamantly refused, reaffirming his dedication to his mission. The Monkie Kids made a timely entrance, with Mei attempting to rescue Monkey King only to be thwarted by Yellowtusk and Peng. Pigsy and Sandy engaged in combat against the demons while Tang rushed to aid Ne Zha. Azure Lion warned them against rebellion, launching bamboo slips as an attack, which Ne Zha deflected. Ne Zha insisted that the team's involvement was unnecessary and that he alone must confront the Brotherhood. Pigsy inquired about the consequences of failure, but Ne Zha dismissed the notion, emphasizing that failure was not an option. Mei agreed that it was time to take action, while Tang proposed seeking assistance from the Jade Emperor, a suggestion that Ne Zha promptly rejected, citing reasons why they couldn't rely on him.
Azure Lion criticized the Jade Emperor's motives, prompting a defense from Ne Zha, though Azure Lion remained skeptical. As MK emerged, Azure Lion launched an attack, prompting MK to glitched into his Mystic Monkey form. Azure Lion was resolute in his determination to thwart MK, who called upon Mr. Tang to create a portal for their escape just in the nick of time. Azure Lion's strike missed its mark, hitting the doors of the Celestial Palace instead. Inside, the Jade Emperor welcomed Azure and acknowledged the timing of his arrival, admitting that Azure's chances of seizing power would have been slim if he hadn't been on the brink of death. Azure Lion's sole concern was for a worthy successor to the throne, and the Jade Emperor extended an offer for Azure to vie for the position, cautioning him about the challenge that lay ahead. Ultimately, Azure Lion dealt a fatal blow to the Jade Emperor, resulting in the fracturing of the universe. As the Jade Emperor disintegrated, his power transferred to Azure Lion, who ascended as the new Jade Emperor, gradually sealing the rifts that had been created.
The Emperor's Wrath[]
During Azure Lion's short rule over the Heavens, he struggled controlling the Power of the Jade Emperor. He sat in the throne room with Yellowtusk, who illustrated sigils on a piece of paper.
Later, Peng dined at a table, which like the rest of the palace, was trashed. Peng also said that Azure Lion had imprisoned the court's servants within the Scroll of Memory. After hearing that Sun Wukong was still alive, Azure Lion teleported his brothers away to Flower Fruit Mountain.
