Leizhenzi: The Origin of the Gods (雷震子：封神缘起)

Legend has it that Yuanshi Tianzun had set up the Heavenly Formation.

If the world is in chaos,

the Star General

will ascend to heaven and unlock the celestial gate.

The gods will then be able to descend and punish the evil ruler.

Thus, changing the current era.

As still as water.

As still as water.

As still as water.

As still as water!

As still as water!

A single spark can start a prairie fire.

As long as one is as still as water.

The Heavenly Formation?

Today, the Heavenly Formation will be activated.

You were burned by the Star General's flame.

You should join them

on their trial as well.

Descend into the mortal realm now.

The beginning of all things,

as the world started to form.

As the Heavenly Fire descends,

destiny is foretold.

As time converges,

it shows great fortune.

And fate is decided.

Don't come over here!

Help!

Don't come over here!

Go away!

Don't come over here!

Hey, look.

What are those things?

They may be fireflies.

It's spring, you know? It's not time for them to appear yet.

Yeah.

As the Four Divine Beasts retire,

the Heavenly Locusts descends.

The Heavenly Formation will be activated,

and the Star General will arrive.

The Avian Clan has a great magic weapon.

It is known as Storm Wings.

The Star General

must merge with the Storm Wings

in order to go against the Heavenly Wind

and reach the heavens.

The Avian Clan?

But, I won't allow them

to destroy our Shang Dynasty.

Stop your meaningless struggle.

If you don't want your clan to be annihilated,

hand over the Storm Wings and the Star General.

Just you wish!

Don't blame me for this then.

Yunzhongzi.

Why have you become such a poor old man?

Crook Wen!

Don't you think I look stylish?

The Storm Wings!

Once they merge with your body,

if you try to take them out,

your soul will perish!

Star General!

I will leave the fate of the world

to you!

The Star General?

Yunzhongzi.

You spoiled my plot yet again.

Wen Zhong, you crook!

As long as I'm here,

you'll never get your hands on the Star General!

Let's see

who has the upper hand then.

Human follow earth, earth follow heaven, and heaven follow the divine path.

It's the law of nature!

Sir, is he the Star General?

I'll leave him to you.

He has a name.

His name is Xinhuan.

He has the Storm Wings.

18 years later, he'll surely be able to activate the Heavenly Formation.

That's great.

This is the descendant of the Avian Clan.

I'll bring him to the mountains and raise him up.

Sir,

seems like this child has an affinity with me.

Why don't you let me bring him back as well?

I'll call him Leizhenzi.

Jump!

-Hurry! -Leizhenzi, you better jump down!

-You've been there for so long! -Did you pee your pants? Hurry!

Didn't you say you'll grow a pair of wings when you're 18?

Hurry up then!

I'm losing my patience!

-He's a coward! -It's not even that far!

Don't tell me you can't fly to the other roof?

He has been there for so long!

-Jump! -Do you think he's Xinhuan?

Shut up! Don't mention his name!

You should jump down then!

Jump down!

-Jump, you coward! -I thought you weren't afraid of death?

-Jump! Hurry! -Hurry!

-Jump down! -Jump down if you're not a coward!

Jump now, you coward!

You laughed at me?

-You laughed at me? -No!

It was him!

-It wasn't me! It was him! -Who was it?

-It was him! -No!

-It was him! -It was him!

-It wasn't me! -Shut up!

-I'm sorry! -Do you know who he is?

He's Leizhenzi.

He's under my protection.

-Understood? -Understood!

I thought you wanted to see me jump? Raise your head now.

Look at me!

-We will never do it again. -Don't let me see your face again.

Scram!

Yes!

Let's go!

Jump while you scram!

Jump higher!

Lord Huan, please forgive us!

Lord Huan, we won't do it again!

-Lord Huan, please forgive us! -Scram!

Jump!

Xinhuan!

Who told you to meddle with my business?

You're my younger brother. Of course I must help you out.

I don't like it when people bully my younger brother.

How many times have I told you already?

You're my younger brother.

Fine.

I'm your younger brother.

You can say anything you like.

Anyway, you'll be under my protection.

As for what you would like to call me,

anything is fine.

Zhen,

how many times have I told you

not to act recklessly when you're outside?

Why didn't you listen to me?

I just wanted to prove that I'm as good as Xinhuan.

Am I wrong?

Leizhenzi,

don't speak to Godfather with that tone.

Why can't I?

Courtesy and manners? They're so annoying!

I will live a carefree life and do whatever I want.

You!

My lord, please calm down.

But Leizhenzi, you're mischievous indeed.

You're unlike Prince Huan at all.

He's talented and well-mannered.

Why are you making this worse?

My lord, look at him.

The celestial priest sent me here, you know?

Yet he bullies me all the time.

I've lived in vain for over a hundred years.

-Get up. -No.

You better get up!

Get up!

I won't.

You!

Father,

why did you call us here today?

It's all because of you!

You almost ruined our plan.

Huan,

back then, the celestial priest

placed the Golden Rod within the Heavenly Forest.

The rod was created by gathering celestial energy from all directions.

It has formed a barrier over Xiqi.

And it has protected you for 18 years.

The celestial priest told me that

when you've reached adulthood,

you can retrieve the Golden Rod

and train in Mount Zhongnan.

Okay. I'll head over there immediately.

I'll go as well.

As Xinhuan's elder brother,

-I have the responsibility. -Stop messing around.

Only the Star General will be able to pick up the Golden Rod.

My lord, you should let Leizhenzi follow him.

With me around, I'll monitor Leizhenzi for you.

-Do you want to go or not? -I do.

It's a chance for you to learn something new as well.

But, only on one condition.

You must never trouble Xinhuan.

Thank you, my lord!

Leizhenzi, hurry up!

What a fool.

Leizhenzi!

Behave yourself! Don't mess around!

Both of you are so boring.

Hey! Wait up!

Xinhuan, wait for me!

My legs had given up on me.
