Before the jade emperor appeared, there were always two immortals in the sky who were in charge of the whole heaven. The first person in charge of heaven was Emperor Haotian, followed by Emperor Wei Zi in the Arctic and the Jade Emperor after Emperor Wei Zi in the Arctic.

In ancient times, people's productivity was still relatively low. At this time, many people are very novel about everything, but they can't solve some strange events in nature, so they invented many fairy tales. In these fairy tales, Emperor Haotian was in charge of the affairs of the Three Realms. At that time, people thought that it was because of the existence of Emperor Haotian that their crops would be so bumper, so whenever the harvest season came, people would always worship Emperor Haotian. The first point is to thank Emperor Haotian for giving them so much food, and the second point is to pray for a good harvest in the coming year.

According to legend, after the death of Emperor Haotian, the Emperor Wei Zi of the Arctic was in charge of the Three Realms. At that time, people already knew some events in nature, but they didn't have a high scientific level, so they still needed to fabricate some fairy tales. It is said that the Emperor Wei Zi of the Arctic was the second man in charge of heaven. However, people found that there is a star in the north, which is very bright and very big. This star is the North Star, and some people call it Ziwei Star, so many people think that there must be a particularly powerful person living on this star, and this person is the Arctic Ziwei Emperor.

It was not until after the Song Dynasty that the Jade Emperor appeared. During the Song Dynasty, many people rumored that the Jade Emperor was a subordinate of the Arctic Emperor Wei Zi, and later bought off the four donkey kong of the Arctic Emperor Wei Zi. Finally, the Jade Emperor defeated the Wei Zi Emperor in the Arctic and won the support of many people, so the Jade Emperor became the new ruler of heaven. Of course, these stories are just legends, and there are absolutely no so-called immortals in real life. These stories are just a kind of longing and yearning for life of the ancients.
