Qitian Dasheng

By Issei

Qitian Dasheng The monkey king too wild for Heaven to control rises from the mortal realm and challenges the celestial order itself. Armies fail, Nezha are pushed back, and force only makes him more defiant. Rather than destroy him, Heaven chooses to recognize his power, grant him a title, and crown the one they could never truly tame. Thus, Qitian Dasheng is born. I originally tried to use a more recognizable Monkey King image reference, but Seedance kept blocking the generations because of the IP similarity. So I ended up redesigning the character into my own interpretation of Wukong while keeping the spirit of the legend.
