The Heavenly Emperor rose to power when he was fifty-eight years old. Before he knew it, he had already sat on the Dragon Throne for thirty years.
Despite having the power over every single creature across nine layers of heaven, the Heavenly Emperor often claimed to his sons that his seat was "the most coveted, but also the loneliest seat in the realm".
In exactly one week, the Heavenly Emperor was going to be eighty-eight years old. In joyful anticipation of the greatest birthday celebration of the century, the Golden Dragon Palace distributed ten thousand sacks of rice, flour, and salt each and also a thousand jugs of wine to each of the nine palaces.
To express their love and admiration for the reigning emperor, the Golden Dragon City decided to decorate the entire city with Fuxi Palace's lucky red and golden colors. It also held a birthday festival in honor of the Heavenly Emperor.
The birthday festival lasted for seven days and seven nights.
