A messenger from the Heavens has arrived in Zhao Ge, a region ruled by the Shang dynasty for generations. The reigning emperor, Zi Zhou, refuses to bow before the gods and tells the messenger that he will no longer tolerate the tyranny of the Heavens. The gods do not take this well; soon after, Wu Jifa, the emperor of a neighboring land, leads a crusade against the rebellious Shang. During the battle, the Shang forces are vastly overwhelmed, and just as the capital is on the verge of falling, Zhou joins the fight. Although he breaks through the enemy ranks and makes his way toward Jifa, a god suddenly falls from the sky, landing right in front of him, ready to personally deal with the troublemaker.
