### Succeded by

The Jade Empire

Following the death of Zu Xin, Emperor Qiang Jia inherited the throne and swiftly embarked on establishing his legacy. A mere year into his reign, he took an ambitious step that solidified the presence of magic within his domain. Summoning the immortals, Tao and Teo, who supposedly resided within the bustling metropolis known as Da Cheng (大成), he appointed them as the supreme architects of magic for the military. From then on, these esteemed Arch-Mages became integral components in shaping the strategic deployment of sorcery throughout the Shang Empire's armies.

# Ao Guang

Around 1,329 BCE, there was a mysterious birth in the Indian city of Parthevia. An elderly woman, between the ages of 60 and 80, obtained a Djinn from the marketplace. She made a wish to become a mother, and consequently gave birth to a baby boy named Ao Guang.

Ao Guang Despite his unique origins, he managed to lead a normal childhood until the loss of his mother when he turned ten. With no parents left in his life, Ao Guang formed an unlikely bond with the same genie who granted his mother her final wish.

As they navigated life together, Ao Guang learned about the world beyond India, growing more curious with each passing day.

Around 1,308 BCE,Ao Guang saw opportunity through his intimate relationship with the powerful djinn who brought him into this world.

He made two wishes : A magical army of 100,000 men and 30 Dragons.

For years, Ao Guang reigned supreme, terrorizing the human realm with devastating natural phenomena at his whim. Unbridled power fueled his ambition, driving him to manipulate the elements with ease, summoning tempests and parching lands alike.

Ao Guang longed for enduring vitality and perpetual existence, seeking solace from the ravages of time in the comfort of a mystical being capable of granting his deepest desires. In fervent supplication, he made two wishes to the Djinn that in a cense had as his father : one for timeless youth and another for Immortality.

Enthroned as an immortal monarch surrounded only by the secrets held fast beneath the sea.

Once crowned as the Jade Emperor, Ao Guang ventured forth to meet the newly coronated ruler of China, Yang Jia of Shang.

Confrontation seemed inevitable as Ao Guang sought the legendary weapon wielded by renowned sovereign Yu the Great: "The Pillar."

Recognizing the futility of resisting the might of Ao Guang's enchanted legion, Yang Jia of Shang yielded, reluctantly offering up the sacred artifact.

Enraptured with his prized possession, Ao Guang carried off "The Pillar," transforming it into an impervious centerpiece adorning his magnificent underwater stronghold, honored as one of the pearls amongst his vast and glittering kingdom.
