Then, with the power of creation, he rewrote it into the current form of Shambala. Acting in place of Susanoomon, Shambala is managed by the Tentei Hachibushu, who were summoned by Kunlun.

It is said that the Shikyoju ("Four Perilous Beasts") have existed since the earliest times during the emergence of the Shambala.

I can't say that there is one because most gods are just not related. Sure some gods have family relations like Nezha, Erlang, or the Dragons Kings but they are considered more of the expectation than the rule.

I've said this before but how gods work in Chinese mythos is that anyone who cultivates and is able to train under an immortal and maybe perhaps gaining enough merit to go to heaven and get godhood gets to be a god. There are rarely any family relations involved also due to the fact that gods are not allowed to get married or have kids, the Jade Emperor being an expectation to this rule. Sure mortals can live in the lower levels of heaven and have families but they are not gods either. Or that gods had families before they became gods like Nezha's family. Or that they broke the law like Erlang Shen's family.

Needless to say, I would say give up trying to find a family tree since that is too far-fetched between the thousands of different gods and so few being related at all.

But I can say it the biggest known families are the Li Family with Jing Li, Jinzha, Muzha, and Nezha and their mother who most likely passed.

The Yang family with the sister of the JE being Yuan, Erlang Sheng, Sansheng Mu, and there was Yang Jiao but he passed away and their father passed as well. This makes Erlang Shen the JE's nephew and Sansheng Mu his niece.

And maybe Jade Emperor and his Daughters like Weaver girl who had a husband and two children but the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother who are to said to have many children so there isn't even a concrete number there, just that there is a lot.

There is also the Main Dragon Kings. The West, South, North, and East King Dragons are all brothers with an off-handed sister mentioned in Xiyouji. East and West Kings seem to have about three sons each and a daughter each as well (not sure about the South or North Kings but most likely children as well) and the Mother Dragon had like nine sons I believe. Not really gods but still a family that are immortal.

Summary:

Several folk legends from different dynasties are actually gathered together. Nezha, Jigong, Door God, Xu Xian, Bai Suzhen... Could it be that these characters are going to gather together to perform some kind of comedy?! Don't make blind guesses! They came together just to show some kind of "propaganda effect"; to promote the upcoming "Chinese Mythology Story"; these legendary characters will all bring out a touching Chinese mythology story. "Chinese Mythical Stories" is a unit theater that CTV will open at 1:00 pm on weekends. Currently, the recording of three unit stories of "Nezha", "Ji Gong" and "The Legend of White Snake" has been completed. It is scheduled to start on May 28 or Saturday. Launched on the 4th. Wang Weijiang went from the front to the back, and co-produced the "Chinese Mythology" unit theater with Wei Xin to realize an ideal, that is, to introduce various folk beliefs through the moving myths and stories circulated in our country's long history of thousands of years. In the creation of the protagonist's character, special emphasis is placed on his method of becoming an immortal and attaining enlightenment - inner cultivation and saving people and saving the world, in order to remind the audience that faith should not be turned into superstition. Such a theme has considerable social and educational significance. Wang Weijiang said that "Chinese Mythical Stories" is a social and educational program produced in the form of drama. It is quite difficult for the social education style and drama type to deeply move people's hearts; because this is equivalent to using the strengths of drama - the drama of twists and turns to make up for the shortcomings of social education - the rigid boring feeling; the "Chinese mythology story" The production is exploring such a new route. If successful, it will be a major breakthrough for TV programs. Judging from the production method of "Chinese Myth Stories", this "new line" that breaks the boundaries between drama and social education has great potential and great potential. The legendary mythical story, through DPE's latest TV effects machine, makes the picture show magical special effects, how fascinating it will be! Since it is a myth, it can perform special effects, and the scenes can be as magical and varied as possible.

I certainly haven't seen them considered the same person myself. The four heavenly kings are Vessavana, Virūlhaka, Dhatarattha, and Virūpakkha and come from Buddist mythos. I certainly haven't heard any stories of the two being the same mostly since FSYY also has the character separate as Nezha fights the Four Heavenly Kings in combat so they are not his father.

But isn't uncommon for legends to be inspired or to be considered the same character depending on the region and I think this might be a case of King Li being inspired by King Vessavana.

"The original image of King Tao Wen is holding a pagoda in his right hand and a trident in his left hand. In later China, in order to match the auspicious meaning of "good weather", the towers and halberds on the statues' hands were usually changed to "umbrellas" representing "rain". King Duowen has many sons, one son is named Dujian, and the other is named Nazha (some say Nazha is the grandson of King Duowen), both of whom are important protectors of Buddhism. Many people believe that the image of Li Jing, the Tota Li Heavenly King in Fengshen Yanyi and "Journey to the West", comes from the "Duowen Heavenly King". -his baidu page.

"Li Jing, nicknamed Tuota Heavnly King, is a military god in ancient Chinese myths and legends. He evolved from the combination of the Buddhist god of Martial Wealth and the famous generals of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. He is a national sacrificial god respected by both Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism." - also Baidu page

So I would say that in modern times you wouldn't find anyone thinking that King Li and Vessavana as the same person as they diverged from each other in their mythos. Similar to how Nezha isn't considered to be the same as Nalakuvara, but rather acknowledged to be inspired by him but has moved on to his own own entity. I would say that maybe @baihuruibaozha could know more but hopefully, this clears up some things.
