Erlang God and Nezha are the same famous gods in the Three Realms, both of them have powerful mana cultivation, and whose official position they have in the Heavenly Court has always been a topic of conversation.
Let's talk about Erlang God first.
Erlang God is the nephew of the Jade Emperor, the great god of the Heavenly Court stationed in Guanjiangkou, and his subordinates are in charge of the Meishan brothers and 1,200 grass-headed gods, which is equivalent to the commander of the Guanjiangkou Military Region.
As a powerful boss with heavy troops, Erlang God's strength is naturally not to be underestimated, many people think that he can kill Sun Wukong equally, but in fact, his strength is better than Sun Wukong.
In the sixth chapter of the original work, Sun Wukong made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and the Jade Emperor sent Erlang God to lead the Meishan brothers to suppress it, and the two sides first fought for 300 rounds without winning or losing. Then in the competition of the art of heaven and earth, both of them became tall, and they fought fiercely with weapons, and they also won or lost.
However, in the next competition of the art of change, Sun Wukong was completely suppressed by Erlang God, no matter what he changed, Erlang God could always change things that were mutually restrictive.
It is also because of his strong strength that Erlang God is also known as the God of War in the Three Realms, coupled with the heavy troops in his hands, his prestige in the Three Realms is extremely high, and all the immortals in the Heavenly Court are polite to him.
Let's talk about Nezha.
Nezha is the third son of Li Jing, the king of Tota, and is regarded by the Jade Emperor as the god of the Three Altars of the Sea and the first echelon of the heavenly court.
Regarding his strength, many people think that although he has great powers, he is not Sun Wukong's opponent, because he was defeated by Sun Wukong during the time when Sun Wukong made trouble in the Heavenly Palace.
But in fact, that battle is not enough to show that Nezha's skills are not as good as others, because he has a serious suspicion of releasing water.
At that time, he first fought with Sun Wukong for 30 rounds without a win; and then fought weapons, also regardless of victory or defeat, which is at least enough to show that it is not easy for Sun Wukong to win him.
However, in the next confrontation, Nezha was actually flashed to the back of his head by Sun Wukong when he used three heads and six arms, and he was hit in the arm by a sneak attack, and fled in pain. Isn't that suspicious? Once you use three heads and six arms, you can defend 360 degrees without dead ends, how can you be sneak attacked by Sun Wukong in the back of your head? Except that he deliberately released water.
Like Erlang God, Nezha is also highly respected by the immortals of the heavenly court because of his high mana, even Sun Wukong, when he saw him later, he respectfully called the third prince.
So, who is also deeply respected by the immortals of the Heavenly Court, Erlang God or Nezha, who has a bigger official position?
Some people believe that Erlang God's official position is obviously greater than Nezha's, because he was once named King Zhaohui Lingxian by the Jade Emperor, and Nezha is just the third prince of Li Jing, the king of Tota.
But in fact, King Zhaohui Lingxian is only a knight, not an official position, and a high knighthood does not mean that the official position is also large, and it is not uncommon to have a knight but no official.
According to the plot of the original work, Nezha's official position should be greater than that of Erlang God, which we can see from the words of the Jade Emperor.
In the fifth chapter of the original work, when he learned that Sun Wukong was making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, the Jade Emperor was furious and decided to let Li Tianwang command 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals to suppress it, so he hurriedly issued an edict and said: "Send the four heavenly kings, cooperate with Li Tianwang and Prince Nezha, point to 28 nights, nine Yao Xingguan, 12 Yuanchen, Wufang Jiedi, four values of Gong Cao, East and West Star Dou, North and South Two Gods, Five Mountains and Four Blasphemy, Putian Astrology, a total of 100,000 heavenly soldiers, 18 Tianluo Nets Nether, go to Huaguo Mountain to besiege, and capture that guy." ”
From the words of the Jade Emperor, it is not difficult for us to find that Nezha can actually be ranked with Li Tianwang and the Four Heavenly Kings, and is above all the heavenly generals who are ordered, and we know that Li Tianwang was once named the Generalissimo of the Three Realms by the Jade Emperor, which is equivalent to the supreme military commander of the Heavenly Court, and Nezha can be ranked with Li Tianwang, which is equivalent to the deputy military commander of the Heavenly Court.
The deputy commander of the Heavenly Court Military is also the deputy commander-in-chief of the three armies of the Heavenly Court, and as mentioned earlier, Erlang God is equivalent to the commander of the Guanjiangkou Military Region, so it seems that Nezha can be regarded as the top boss of Erlang God, and the official position is of course above Erlang God.
