[Black Myth] + [Undercover intrigue] + [I decide my own fate] + [Defying heaven to slay immortals] + [Deep brotherhood]
This is a one-of-a-kind Nezha fanfic: it inherits the grudges of primordial mythology and sets the stage for the legendary causes and consequences of Journey to the West!
[Black Myth], The dark epic of the Investiture of the Gods universe
“If immortals stand in my way, I’ll bury them. If Heaven oppresses demons, then from this day on, there will be no Heaven!”
This tale has more than just the Nezha story you know. The Heaven-Mending Stone conceals Heaven’s secrets, the Jiuli Legion lays siege to Yuxu Palace, and the Three Sovereigns of the Human Race turn their swords toward the Lingxiao Hall... Primordial karmic ties are overturned here, and the Black Myth worldview tears apart traditional stories in a blood-soaked saga of demon clans rising from humble origins to strike back at the immortal court!
[Undercover intrigue], The chess game played by saints behind the Investiture of the Gods
“The saints are merciless. All of you are nothing but fodder for the calamity!”
Shen Gongbao copies the secret list for the Investiture of the Gods and uses his time-seeing demon eyes to reveal the immortals’ fates, expose the conspiracy behind the Investiture, and turn abandoned disciples of the Jie Sect against their masters.
Spirit demons, witches, and immortals each support human lords, using mortal powers to wage a war for destiny.
The Shen brothers work in the open and in the shadows: one infiltrates Kunlun and exposes the truth, while the rise of the demon race throws the saints’ plans into chaos!
Factional conflict, double identities, and psychological warfare: an immortal-demon spy war runs through the entire story!
[Rising against Heaven from humble beginnings], I decide my own fate!
From an “abandoned son of humble origins,” mocked as a “wretched demon-blooded outcast,” to the “Lord of Ten Thousand Demons”! A comeback, face-slapping, a reshuffling of the powers, and explosive twists!
[Deep brotherhood], United, brothers can outplay Heaven
“Fellow Daoists of the Jie Sect, do you know? You and I are both pieces in this game!”
Shen Gongbao’s undercover work quietly siphons the fortune of the Three Teachings, while Shen Xiaobao saves the demons and ignites a grievance that has smoldered for ages. The brothers make themselves pieces on the board and lay plans along two fronts: one ascends to the Lingxiao Hall and shatters the Investiture of the Gods, while the other disrupts the flow of time and overturns the saints’ game. United and unwilling to bow to fate, the brothers will outplay Heaven itself!
