Investiture of the Gods: Nezha Becomes Nuwa's Disciple and Commands the Butterfly of Creation

He transmigrates as Nezha, wields the Butterfly of Creation, and becomes Nuwa’s disciple. This isn’t cheating; it’s flipping the whole table.

Li Nezha, a transmigrator, starts off with two divine treasures: a fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation, which maxes out his comprehension, and a fragment of the Chaos Bead, which contains the beginnings of a world.

Good news: a top-tier golden finger.

Bad news: powerful beings are everywhere in the Primordial World. If even one of them so much as glances at him, he’ll end up as “Nezha in a box.”

So he makes a decision no transmigrator dares to make:

He won’t become Taiyi’s disciple or join the Chan Sect. Instead, he goes straight to the biggest backer in the Primordial World: Nuwa.

At five years old, he stakes out Nuwa Temple, burning incense and pledging his loyalty every day, while doing good deeds to win her favor.

Taiyi Zhenren shows up? Sorry, I’m taking the magic treasures, but I’m not going with you.

A few years later, an old woman appears at the door.

Nezha drops to his knees on the spot. “Greetings, Master.”

The old woman smiles. “This child has a good eye.”

From then on, he is a second-generation disciple under Nuwa, personally taught by the Old Mother of Mount Li.

What really sends the Primordial World into an uproar, though, is the “Butterfly of Creation” in his hands.

Others cultivate through grueling training. Nezha cultivates through the “butterfly effect.”

The Butterfly of Creation flutters its wings...

Ao Bing dies, and the culprit is unknown.

The Dragon Palace investigates, and the Turtle Prime Minister blows himself up on the spot.

The Heavenly Court sends the Giant Spirit God to “exterminate demons.” He’s still paddling around at sea.

Yin Shou stops terrorizing the women in his harem and starts cultivating instead. He gets really into it, too.

The Three Demons of Xuanyuan Tomb try to seduce King Zhou, only for him to smack them back into their true forms with the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms.

Daji isn’t possessed by a fox spirit. Now she grinds ink for Nezha, warms his bed, and cuddles up to him every day.

Yu Yuan, a fearsome Jie Sect fighter with skin of bronze and bones of iron, now calls Nezha “Brother Zha” and declares, “Anyone who lays a finger on Brother Zha will have to fight me to the death.”
