Chapter 649: My Fate Is Determined By Me, Not By Heaven

Inside the Cinema, a large number of audience members already couldn't stop their tears from flowing down.

This was the first time they had seen Li Jing like this.

It is very strange; a simple question, a simple answer, and the short phrase "He is my son" were enough to make everyone unable to help their eyes from moistening.

Some of the more emotional audience members were directly sobbing!

Chen Luo sat there, his throat feeling blocked, his eyes also stinging a little.

As mentioned before, his home was very desolate during the New Year, with only his elderly mother and a nanny at home.

His father passed away early, so he didn't have many memories of him.

In his impression, his most profound memory of his father was when the family was quite strapped for cash during his childhood, and his father was diagnosed with an incurable disease.

The man squatted at the doorway, smoked a cigarette, then looked at Chen Luo and said calmly to his wife: "I won't treat it anymore."

This short segment of Drama not only allowed many of the preceding plot points to be self-consistent, but it also achieved an excellent viewing effect.

A movie that has humor, tear-jerking moments, and thrilling moments... is usually worth watching.

The most fatal part is that after this hidden plot was revealed, recalling what Li Jing said to Nezha at the birthday banquet earlier is also full of tear-jerking moments.

No wonder, no wonder he wanted Taiyi to take Nezha as a disciple and insisted on guiding Nezha toward Kindness!

No wonder, no wonder he still wanted to hold a birthday banquet for his son, going door-to-door to beg the commoners to attend, and capturing the Sea Yaksha to clear his son's name.

No wonder, no wonder he also said to Nezha: "Dad is giving you a Peace Talisman to keep you safe and sound. Dad has always been strict with you, and I know you have anger in your heart, but Dad has no other choice. Son, you still have a long road ahead; don't care about others' opinions. Who you are is only for you to decide."

The Life-Changing Talisman in the eyes of the immortals was, in the eyes of a father, a Peace Talisman.

Using my life to exchange for my son's safety... it was worth it!

In the movie, Nezha looked at the flying pig transformed from the Wind Fire Wheels and the recorded images of Li Jing, unable to help but untie the pouch Li Jing had carefully fastened to his waist, opening the "Peace Talisman" inside, his tears unable to stop falling.

How guilty he must feel right now.

Just a short while ago, he had still misunderstood his father, thinking that he lied to him about being a Spirit Bead just to keep him locked in the Mountain and River Map to cultivate until he died, all to give the commoners of Chen Tang Guan an explanation and preserve his own reputation as the General of Chen Tang Guan.

It is very clear that Li Jing's love was to unload all the burdens from Nezha and carry them on his own shoulders, even if it meant sacrificing his life.

And the Dragon King's love for Ao Bing is a kind of invisible pressure.

The Ten Thousand Dragon Armor is indestructible, but for Ao Bing, isn't it also a kind of shackle?

For the future of the entire clan, Ao Bing unleashed his magic, summoning seawater to flood Chen Tang Guan and erase all traces.

Just as Li Jing and Lady Yin were frozen by Ao Bing, a flash of fire flew rapidly from afar, coming on aggressively.

The firelight melted the ice, radiating flames in all directions.

When the flames dissipated, the figure of Nezha stepping on the Wind Fire Wheels appeared.

He raised his right hand and beckoned in the air, and the Fire-Tipped Spear appeared in his hand.

He waved his hand again, and the Universe Ring rose into the air, swirling around his body.

Exclamations of surprise immediately erupted inside the Cinema.

The special effects were done so well that the visuals were truly too cool.

Many audience members never dreamed that one day they would be impressed by such a little brat with dark circles under his eyes.

It is very clear, ahead... high-thrill warning!

Nezha looked at the perpetrator and asked in surprise: "Ao Bing?"

"Don't, don't waste your breath on him!" Shen Gongbao urged Ao Bing from the side.

Nezha looked at him with surprise again: "Uncle Shen?"

Knowledge point: A famous Myth super-villain who, due to a stutter, kept saying "Shen... Gong... Gong..." during his self-introduction, thus winning a position in the imperial court.

Taiyi explained rapidly from the side that the Spirit Bead was stolen by Shen Gongbao and placed on Ao Bing, and right now they wanted to destroy the entire Chen Tang Guan!

Above Chen Tang Guan, the ice formed from seawater was like a giant iceberg, shrouding the entire Chen Tang Guan.

If it were to crash down, the destructive power could be imagined.

According to normal movie tropes, at this point, they would probably say a lot of nonsense, such as Nezha questioning Ao Bing, "Is this true?", "Why would you do this?", "You are my only friend," etc.

Villains die from talking too much; this point is widely complained about by everyone. But sometimes the heroes don't look at the situation either, and they also like to chat at critical moments.

But in Nezha: Birth of the Demon Child, that didn't happen.

This movie is actually done very well in terms of pacing.

At a moment of life and death, of course, you should fight as soon as you speak!

The two fought together, and every frame of the footage was burning money like crazy.

Ao Bing suppressed Nezha and said: "Your power is mostly locked by the Universe Ring; you can't beat me."

Oh my, Bingbing is so Gentle.

"Cut the crap! With me here, don't even think about causing trouble!" Nezha's temper was still very hot, fierce as could be.

Our Zha-er is just that confident!

On this side, the Spirit Bead and the Demon Pill were fighting fiercely.

On the other side, Taiyi and Shen Gongbao, this pair of fellow disciples, were also constantly clashing.

The most ridiculous part was that Nezha transformed into the likeness of Shen Gongbao, holding the Fire-Tipped Spear, and collided in the smoke with Shen Gongbao, who was holding the Thunder Whip.

The mischievous Nezha immediately used his transformation technique to turn his Fire-Tipped Spear into a Thunder Whip and turned Shen Gongbao's Thunder Whip into a Fire-Tipped Spear.

Ao Bing, who had chased them all the way, immediately grabbed two hammers that looked like lollipops and smashed them toward Shen Gongbao.

"You... you rebellious disciple! I am your master!"

"Shut up, don't you know that details determine success or failure!" Ao Bing was crazily "killing his master."

Inside the Cinema, everyone instantly burst into laughter.

Even funnier was that Nezha, transformed into Shen Gongbao, was still shouting from the side: "Disciple, I'm here to help you!"

Two-on-one was bad enough, but the one being abused was a stutterer who wanted to explain a few words but whose mouth wouldn't obey him.

As everyone knows, for a stutterer, the more anxious they are, the less they can speak.

Ao Bing, carrying his giant ice hammer that looked like a lollipop, fiercely smashed Shen Gongbao into the ground.

The fake Shen Gongbao, Nezha, was still heckling from the side: "Disciple, good technique!"

"Master is too kind!" Bingbing remained as humble as ever.

Little did he know that this fake Shen Gongbao had already secretly changed the Thunder Whip back into the Fire-Tipped Spear, and then, with a treacherous grin and dancing eyebrows, he fiercely stabbed toward Ao Bing: "This is a reward for you!"

After stabbing him, Nezha ran off with the spear.

He ran and ran with a big laugh, looking exactly like Ma Dongmei carrying a javelin in *Charlotte Troubles*.

As a result, he ran into Taiyi halfway.

"Hey! Master!" Nezha said loudly.

How heartwarming, Nezha is willing to call me Master!

However, it was very obvious that Taiyi was just a funny guy.

Even though the fake Shen Gongbao in front of him was holding the Fire-Tipped Spear he had gifted to Nezha, he still foolishly sucked him into the 【Mountain and River Map】, while laughing out loud:

"Hehe, didn't take much effort!"

He was even feeling proud of himself!

"What a pair of funny master and disciple," Chen Luo thought to himself while laughing out loud.

The god-tier battle between Luo Mo and Chen Luo—tense and exciting!

The real god-tier battle between these two pairs of master and disciple—a total mess!

The four of them fought into the 【Mountain and River Map】, and in the midst of the chaos, the freed Ao Bing began to reveal his true form, turning into a true dragon and flying into the nine heavens!

The white dragon let out a dragon roar and soared into the sky, then landed on the giant ice in the air, trying to force it downward by pressing on it!

Seeing this, Nezha immediately cast a spell to release the Universe Ring that was suppressing him.

But this time he didn't fully release it, instead moving the Universe Ring from his neck and locking it onto his wrists.

In an instant, the little brat with dark circles changed his appearance.

Flames swept over his entire body, and the transformed Nezha once again made the audience think he was cool.

It must be said that although this transformation trope had already been used once in *Monkey King: Hero is Back*, the audience just loved it and never got tired of it!

"It's burning! It's burning!"

"Holy crap, is this too cool?"

"Who can handle this?"

"The contrast between before and after is just too strong!"

Yes, the stronger the contrast, the greater the impact it often brings.

The transformed young Nezha stepped on his Wind Fire Wheels and soared into the sky, forcefully lifting the giant ice that was descending from above.

The ice already had downward momentum, and with Ao Bing casting spells on top of it, it was naturally even harder for Nezha to lift it.

"Stop struggling, you were born as a Demon Pill, this is destiny!" Ao Bing said.

While struggling to support the ice, Nezha said: "To hell with your destiny!"

His voice turned into a desperate roar, and then, he spoke a phrase that had never appeared on Blue Star.

This phrase, many viewers on Earth who love reading web novels had already seen countless times in novels before watching the *Nezha* movie.

However, while watching the movie, they were still ignited by this line.

But Blue Star didn't have this phrase, so the level of excitement can be imagined!

——"My fate is determined by me, not by the heavens!!!"

When this roar came out, Chen Luo, who was already over forty, felt his blood boiling, and his whole person felt passionate, let alone those young people.

"My fate is determined by me, not by the heavens, what a great line: my fate is determined by me, not by the heavens!"

"Damn! This is fucking lit!"

"So lit, the most lit animation movie in history!"

"All the foreshadowing before, all the injustices of fate, were ultimately for this line!"

A large number of the audience's emotions were completely stirred up.

"Whether I am a demon or an immortal, it's up to me to decide!" Nezha roared, and the flames on his body became even more scorching.

In an instant, several golden-red beams of light were produced, and then converged into... four extra arms!

"Hiss—! Nezha has Three Heads and Six Arms, these six arms have finally appeared," Chen Luo thought.

Nezha, with his six arms, forcefully lifted the giant ice that was about to crash to the ground and gradually raised it into the sky!

On the ground, everyone who felt as if the sky was about to collapse looked up in shock.

They saw endless flames suddenly explode amidst the passionate background music!

Firelight and white smoke headed toward the sky.

They enveloped the ice!

Looking from afar, it actually looked like a—giant red fire lotus!

The lotus is one of the labels on Nezha.

The fire lotus at this moment appeared just at the right time!

With the blessing of the incredibly stunning visual effects, it actually made the excitement even higher!

The Red Armillary Sash moved at this time, and Ao Bing, who sensed something was wrong, wanted to soar away to escape, but his white dragon body was still bound by the Red Armillary Sash.

The white dragon struggled constantly in the air, but for a while, he couldn't break free from the Red Armillary Sash.

A fiery red beam of light shot into the sky, heading toward Ao Bing with extreme speed.

The white dragon looked at the flames and couldn't help but widen his eyes!

When the flames dissipated, the Fire-Tipped Spear was already resting quietly before his eyes!

At this moment, the film gave this shot a close-up.

——The shocked white dragon, and the youth holding the spear.

"Too cool, my god!"

"Damn it, for this scene alone, I want to come watch it a second time!"

"Nezha is awesome!"

"How much money was actually spent on these special effects?"

Ao Bing was subdued just like that.

And what he didn't expect was that Nezha still regarded him as his only friend.

Just when all the audience felt that everything was over, the sky began to turn chaotic, and flashes of lightning began to flicker.

Including Chen Luo, a large number of the audience only then reacted: "There is still the Heavenly Tribulation!"

The previous fight scenes were too intense, so much so that everyone had suddenly forgotten about the matter of the Heavenly Tribulation.

"It seems my time is up, you go," Nezha said, glancing at the thunderclouds.

"Aren't you afraid that I will later..." Ao Bing looked back.

Before he could even finish his sentence, his collar was rudely grabbed by Nezha, who angrily scolded: "Are you really the Spirit Bead? Even I, a Demon Pill, have lived more like a human than you! Do you dare to be any more cowardly?"

The dark-circled, big-headed Nezha even bared his teeth.

"I am of the demon race," Ao Bing said indifferently. "The moment I was born, my fate was sealed."

"Bullshit! Other people's opinions are all crap; who you are is only for you to decide," Nezha angrily scolded, saying: "This is the principle my dad taught me!"

The line "This is the principle my dad taught me" made a large number of the audience tremble in their hearts.

The core of this film is actually not that thin; it contains many elements.

Nezha let go of Ao Bing and gritted his teeth: "If fate is unfair, then fight it to the end!"

Nezha returned to the Li residence, used the Armillary Sash to tie up Li Jing and Lady Yin, then tore off the Peace Talisman, wanting to face the Heavenly Tribulation alone.

The audience suddenly began to feel anxious.

They saw this usually extremely rebellious, dark-circled child say to his parents: "It's no big deal. Three years is a bit short, but I've had a lot of fun."

"The only regret is that I haven't played shuttlecock with you yet," Nezha said to Li Jing.

He had completely understood his stern father's painstaking efforts.

"Dad, Mom." The rebellious youth knelt and kowtowed to his parents: "Thank you."

The lightning began to wrap around Nezha, carrying him high into the sky.

Li Jing and Lady Yin shouted at the top of their lungs from below.

A massive pillar of thunder descended from the sky, striking toward Nezha.

Ao Bing appeared on the side, unleashing his Ten Thousand Dragon Armor to block the Heavenly Tribulation for Nezha!

Perhaps for him, unleashing the Ten Thousand Dragon Armor at this moment to save his only friend—to save the friend who became a Demon Pill because of him—was a rebirth.

Inside Chen Tang Guan, Shen Gongbao only felt that this disciple was an idiot and left the scene in a rage.

Amidst the lightning, Nezha and Ao Bing were equivalent to the convergence of the Spirit Bead and the Demon Pill.

Stunning special effects emerged, as if the sun and moon were shining together, heaven and earth were inverted, and the universe was in chaos.

——The Hunyuan Pearl emerged from this.

Taiyi looked up at the high sky from the ground.

Shen Gongbao had already abandoned his disciple.

Taiyi then silently said: "They actually held on until now."

This immortal, who from the beginning of the film was only responsible for comedy and messing things up, acting like a silly simpleton, said:

"I don't know if adding me will be enough to hold it."

Perhaps this is the reason why Yuanshi Tianzun chose Taiyi to be one of the Twelve Golden Immortals and did not choose Shen Gongbao.

This portly Taiyi Zhenren, whose Mandarin was not even standard, held the Seven-Star Precious Lotus and headed toward the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder without a second thought!

This scene is actually a tribute to the famous scene in Master Xing's "Shaolin Soccer".

But "Shaolin Soccer" does not exist on Blue Star, so everything made people feel even more moved.

In the end, Nezha and Ao Bing's physical bodies were destroyed, leaving only their primordial spirits.

The people of Chen Tang Guan came one after another to bow and kowtow, thanking Nezha for his life-saving grace.

The beginning of the film was Taiyi Zhenren's Sichuan dialect.

The ending of the film was also Taiyi Zhenren's Sichuan dialect.

"If you ask me whether a person can change their own fate."

"Hmm..."

"I don't know either."

"But I know that not accepting one's fate is Nezha's fate!"

The film ended there.

Inside the Cinema, as the lights came on, Chen Luo only then realized he was a big star and had to slip away quickly to avoid unnecessary trouble.

He did not know that there were still two post-credits scenes.

The young couple nearby looked at this middle-aged man wearing a hat and wooden-framed Glasses, with scruffy stubble, moving with agility as he ran out, and couldn't help but say:

"This movie is fucking great! I didn't want to miss a single second! Was he afraid he'd burst his bladder?"

(PS: A while ago, the Poster for "Nezha 2" was released; the second installment is called "Nezha: Trouble in the Sea".

When I miss you, you are causing trouble in the sea.)
