Editing Scion (section)

====Celestial Bureaucracy (1e)/ Shen (2e)====
The Chinese pantheon, similar to the Amatsukami in their speed in which they act due to their bureaucracy. This is compensated by their numbers with many Scions, shared pantheon with the Devas, and through hiring redeemed Titans. Their gods include: 

*'''Chang'e:''' The goddess of the moon, who stole the Elixir of Immortality from her husband Hou Yi when he proved to be tyrannical and wicked. 
*'''Confucius:''' The renowned philosopher and sage, whose system of ethics based on moderation and filial piety as described in his ''Analects'' would influence Chinese government and society for centuries. He was deified due to some confused beliefs that got picked up a few centuries after his death, and he still hasn't quite gotten used to godhood.
*'''Erlang:''' Nephew of the Jade Emperor and a renowned warrior god. His third eye can see through any deception. Unfortunately he has a bit of an ego that makes him hard to deal with. 
*'''Fu Xi:''' Ancestor of humanity, and the inventor of (among other things) writing, fishing nets, musical instruments, and the I Ching. 
*'''Guan Yu:''' A general made famous by his depiction in the ''Romance of the Three Kingdoms'' and venerated as a god after his death, he is best known for his skill in battle and his loyalty to his lord Liu Bei.
*'''Guanshiyin Pusa:''' A bodhisattva that is said to be the most revered of all the Buddhist deities, in no small part due to her boundless compassion. 
*'''Huangdi:''' The Yellow Emperor, said to be the first emperor of China and the originator of all Chinese culture. 
*'''Laozi:''' The "Old Masters" reputed to have written the ''Tao Te Ching'', the foundation of the Taoist philosophy. Nobody knows who they really were, though, and Laozi is in no hurry to clarify it. 
*'''Nezha:''' A deity of protection, also called the Marshal of the Central Altar. After slaying the son of the Dragon King Ao Kuang, he committed suicide to protect his family and ascended to godhood. 
*'''Nu Wa:''' The sister/wife of Fu Xi, she created humanity from mud and rebuilt the pillars of the sky when they were about to collapse. 
*'''Sun Wukong:''' The legendary Monkey King. We have a whole section in the mythology page describing him, it's easier to read that than try to sum him up in a couple of sentences. 
*'''Yandi Shennongshi''': A god closely associated with farming and the earth, he discovered the Five Grains that became the staples of Chinese agriculture.
