What does it mean to beg the gods to descend to the world to rob?

Judging from the story, the immortal may have made some mistakes when he entered the world and suffered great pain, that is, the immortal returned to his hometown as a higher human being and experienced some fate. For example, Marshal Tian Peng fell in love with Chang 'e illegally and was exiled to the mortal world.

As for the latter question, it depends on the writer's style of writing. It is also possible to lose memory, but it is also possible to keep some memories. Generally, immortals will lose their divine power when they come to earth.

Extended data:

"Descent to Earth" is a term in China's traditional mythology, which mainly describes the behavior of immortals who are located in heaven and come to earth.

In China's ancient mythology, there was a distinction between heaven and earth. Generally speaking, immortals are not allowed to go in and out of heaven and earth at will. According to the laws of Heaven, it is a felony to go down to earth without permission. There are many examples in ancient myths in China where people were punished by heaven without permission. If the gods in the sky violate the dogma, they will also be expelled from the Heavenly Palace and demoted to the world. Pig Bajie is a good example! Other immortals were banished to the mortal world and returned to heaven after some hardships.
