In the novel Romance of Gods in China's ancient Ming and Qing Dynasties, the four heavenly kings were called "Four Generals of the Magic Family", and were named as the four heavenly kings only after their death, that is, the eldest was the growth king of the south, the second was the king of Molihong in the north, the third was the king of the east, and the fourth was the king of the west.
They used to be the four generals guarding the Shang Dynasty, and they were also the general commanders of Jiamengguan under Wen Zhong, also known as the four brothers of the Magic Family. Because they were taught by different people, they have their own unique skills, and they have four powerful weapons (Qingfengjian, Mixed Pearl Umbrella, Jasper Pipa, Purple Fox and Sable). The four treasures are so powerful when used at the same time that no one can stop them.
