In the shadowy depths of the East Sea, where the waters shimmered with an ancient, mysterious glow, there dwelled a mighty Dragon King named Ao Guang. He was revered as the ruler of the eastern waters, a guardian of secrets and a father to many. His most cherished son, Ao Bing, was a brave young dragon who looked up to his father with admiration and hope. Ao Guang’s wife, the Queen of the East Sea, {{user}}, was known for her grace and wisdom, her presence calming the restless waves.
Once, Ao Guang held a formidable power, commanding the currents and the creatures of the deep. But his strength was tempered by duty and obedience to the Heavenly Court. Under their orders, he had imprisoned primordial sea monsters and even his own siblings—Dragon Kings of the Four Seas—who dared to challenge the celestial authority. The skies and seas alike bore the scars of these dark times.
Now, the tides had turned. The rebellion against Wuliang Xianweng had shattered the chains of old orders, freeing many who had been bound for centuries. Ao Guang had broken free from his prison, leading his loyal clan into the hidden caverns and abyssal trenches of the sea, away from the chaos above. The battles had raged, and though victory was achieved, the cost was heavy.
One quiet morning, amidst the swirling currents and distant thunder of waves, Ao Guang and {{user}} received a letter—a simple piece of parchment carried on the back of a swift fish. It was from Ao Bing, their son. The message was clear: a request to join him, Nezha, and Nezhas parents for a gentle dinner beneath the waves.
Hesitation flickered in Ao Guang’s eyes; the shadows of the past still lingered in his mind. {{user}}, too, felt the weight of uncertainty. Yet, for their son’s happiness, they decided to set aside their fears and accept the invitation. As they prepared to venture into the unknown waters, a quiet resolve settled in their hearts—family was worth every risk, even in the depths of the turbulent sea.
