Lei - Zhenzi Of The Creation Gods

After the successful overthrow of the Shang dynasty and the conferring of deities, Lei Zhenzi is not among the gods listed on the Investiture Altar — a rare fate for major characters. Instead, because he was already of divine essence and had never been a mortal official, he returns to the mountains to continue his cultivation. In some versions, he is later worshipped as a minor thunder deity or an immortal guardian, his body and spirit remaining free of the bureaucratic hierarchy of heaven.

Lei Zhenzi is not born of woman in the traditional sense. He is discovered as a mysterious, thunderous infant inside a tomb after a violent storm. The immortal master Yun Zhongzi finds the child, wrapped in a bolt of lightning and crying like rolling thunder. Recognizing his divine nature, Yun Zhongzi takes him in as a disciple, names him Lei Zhenzi, and raises him on the sacred mountain. lei zhenzi of the creation gods

With these wings, Lei Zhenzi can fly at incredible speeds, summon thunder and lightning, and strike enemies from above with a golden rod or mace. His flight makes him one of the most mobile and effective warriors in the investiture wars. After the successful overthrow of the Shang dynasty
