In the last years of the Yin and Shang Dynasties tking Shang Zhou was tyrant of all Earth. To save the world, the elders of the Feathered People tribe threw the Heavenly Peeping Stone into the mortal world and deliberately injected the twin wings into their twin son Xinhuan in front of everyone to protect the real "General" Leizhenzi.
