Chih Sung-tzu also appears in the 1st ''Advanced'' edition of ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'', where he is a true neutral greater god known as Lord of the Rain.
 As Chisongzi, he is said to have earned his title during the reign of the first Yan Emperor [[wikipedia:Shennong|Shennong]], where he ended a severe drought by sprinkling water from an earthen bowl with the aid of a tree branch. As Yu Shi, he and the wind deity Feng Bo are said to have aided Chiyou in his struggle against the Yellow Emperor during the Battle of Zhuolu, but Yu Shi was defeated by the intervention of the drought goddess Ba.
