After the conclusion of the Fengshen, Jiang Ziya held the decree of enfeoffment and granted titles to various immortals. When it came to the position of the Jade Emperor, Jiang Ziya knew that he would be the one, so he said, "No one is capable of taking this position."

What he meant to say was that this position could only be left vacant, awaiting its master. Originally, he intended to be modest, but these words became a curse instead.

Jiang Ziya did not expect that among the people listening to his enfeoffment below the stage, there was a person named Mei Youren.

Before becoming the Jade Emperor, Mei Youren was a kind-hearted farmer.

His sister was chosen by an old man who was about to be executed, so Mei Youren's family sent a matchmaker to arrange the marriage. Mei Youren's parents, driven by greed for power, agreed to the marriage. The whole family was overjoyed and ready to proceed with the wedding. However, just before the wedding, the old man died. The old man's child, who had great influence, insisted that Mei Youren's sister accompany the old man in his burial and be buried alive with him.

Mei Youren's elder brother tried to resist, but he was captured, and his father died as a result.

When Mei Youren returned home with his mother, his younger sister had disappeared. People said she was framed by bandits, but in reality, she had been taken in as a disciple by Lu Ya. However, how could Mei Youren have known?

Not long after, his wife crossed a river and was seen by Daji. Daji was curious why she wasn't afraid of the cold water, so King Zhou ordered his men to kill Mei Youren's wife and split open her leg bone.

Overwhelmed by so many hardships, Mei Youren wanted to commit suicide, but someone saved him.

That person told him that the reason he had suffered so many tribulations was because he would become the Jade Emperor in the future. He told Mei Youren to participate in King Wu's campaign against King Zhou and said, "When Jiang Ziya mentions that no one can be the Great Emperor of Jade, all you have to do is commit suicide, and you can become the Great Emperor of Jade."
