SUN SHENG
Role: Zhonghua’s Chief Guardian
Story:
Sun Sheng, born in time immemorial, lived in a small village on the border of the Great Desert in the northwest. When he was very young and tending sheep, the barbarians from the northern deserts, led by the evil spirit of the Great Gobi Desert, attacked. Such raids had happened before, and with each village destroyed, the desert grew larger. The Gobi was once a flourishing land, but after the Catastrophe, the spirit of destruction settled in its heart. Whether the spirit came by itself or was summoned by the shamans of the barbarians is unknown.
These barbarians had long raided the country of Zhonghua, envious of its wealth and the wisdom of its rulers. But the warriors of the Middle Kingdom always fought back. The evil spirit strengthened the barbarians, allowing them to avoid clashing with the Zhonghua army by ravaging small border villages. After each devastated village, the desert expanded, and the demon's power increased.

When Sun Sheng returned to his village, he found it destroyed and his fellow villagers killed. With no hope of success, Sun Sheng attacked the Desert Spirit and managed to kill the creature. The barbarians, servants of the evil spirit, captured him, beat him nearly to death, and threw him into the river. The river carried Sun Sheng to a waterfall, where he discovered a cave. In this cave, Sun Sheng met Sun Wukong. Seeing the young man's courage, Sun Wukong taught him his Tao and bestowed Qi, the power that grants superskills. Thus, Sun Sheng became one of the Guardians of Zhonghua, and eventually its Chief Guardian.
