Luo Hou and Jidu could never have imagined that a casual joke made over drinks would completely change his destiny.
After a heavy bout of drinking, they both went their separate ways. That night, Emperor Bai tossed and turned in his bed, receiving continuous reports of defeat from the front lines. If this continued, he feared that within a month, the entire Heaven would be devoured by the Shura. The wide Ruishui River, which served as a natural barrier separating Heaven and Asura World, was supposed to keep them apart, but it could not stop their fierce invasion.
When Emperor Bai found out that the Shura were crossing the river on shallow wooden boats, he broke out in a cold sweat.
He had shared this method with only Luo Hou and Jidu, and had emphatically instructed him not to divulge it, since Asura World had always been covetously eyeing Heaven, and it was thanks to this natural barrier that they had been thwarted.
