Ao Guang a character featured within the famed ancient Chinese novel Investiture of the Gods (more commonly known as Fengshen Yanyi). Ao Guang is renowned as the Dragon King of the eastern seas Crystal Palace. Following the passage of many years, Ao Guang had brought chaos to the world by forming disastrous droughts, storms, and so forth. Due to the people's immense fear towards the dragon king and his sons, they never reported Ao Guangs actions to the Jade Emperor. Thus, Ao Guang enjoyed countless offerings by the people throughout a time interval of many years. After Nezha cleansed himself at a neighboring stream of the East Sea, Ao Guang's palace began to shake at an annoying level. After Ao Guang's favorite investigator and third son were both killed by the hands of Nezha, Ao Guang would set out to talk to Nezha's father, Li Jing. After discussing the matter with his friend for a long period of time in his state of great anger, he transformed himself back into a dragon and ascended to the heavens to state the issue to the supreme Jade Emperor. After the cruel Nezha appeared in heaven, he began to beat Ao Guang very violently. Nezha even began to tear scales from Ao Guang's dragon skin, which caused for blood to profusely spill out. In the end, the unfortunate Ao Guang was forced to turn himself into a small snake and come with Nezha back to the Old Pond Pass to forget about the incident completely.

Later on within this chapter following Ao Guang's leave from Nezha, he would once again see the Jade Emperor. Soon enough, Ao Guang, along with three other dragon kings would come to Old Pond Pass and take both Li Jing and his wife Yinshi. Nezha however would quickly appear and claims that he will cut out every internal organ from his body as to save his parents. Ao Guang personally agrees to Nezha's resolution with happiness and brings his internal organs to the Jade Emperor. Following this point, the Eastern Dragon King Ao Guang's fate is unknown.
