Why was Yang Jian similar to Nezha in the Investiture of the Gods, but so different in Journey to the West?
Investiture of the Gods and Journey to the West were two different novels, so there were differences in character setting and plot development. In the Investiture of the Gods, Yang Jian and Nezha were both gods with three heads and six arms, possessing extremely strong strength and ability. Their performances in the story were relatively similar. They had experienced many difficulties and dangers and received help from everyone. Therefore, the two people on the Investiture of the Gods had similar appearances. However, the images of Yang Jian and Nezha in Journey to the West were different. Nezha was the crown prince of the gods. He had extremely strong strength and ability, and he was also one of the more arrogant immortals. In contrast, Yang Jian was a mortal. Through his own efforts and courage, he became one of the immortals. He also experienced many setbacks and tribulations in the story and showed his indomitable spirit and firm belief. Therefore, the two characters in Journey to the West were quite different. Investiture of the Gods and Journey to the West also had different story backgrounds and settings, which also affected the image of the characters and the development of the plot.
