Blackwater River Dragon: The Entire Primordial World Owes Me Merit

Reborn in Blackwater River in Journey to the West, I somehow became the river dragon beaten senseless by Brother Monkey? I activate the Merit Lending System, and can get stronger just by issuing IOUs to Heaven!

Guanyin: "The pilgrims' river-crossing fee goes on the account of my Purple Bamboo Grove!"

Laozi: "That wicked dragon's using my Eight Trigrams Furnace as a merit ATM!"

Jade Emperor: "Blackwater River is going public, and he's using Heaven as collateral?"

When IOUs to every god and Buddha under heaven cover the Hall of Miraculous Mists, I clutch the River Chart and Luo Book and sneer: "From now on, it's time to collect interest. Double the salaries of the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, cancel the underworld's reincarnation KPIs, and give everyone at Flower-Fruit Mountain full benefits!"

Tathagata watches the merit deficit at Spirit Mountain and roars: "Make Jin Chanzi return to lay life! If the pilgrimage project team doesn't get back to work, that river dragon will turn the entire Pure Land into his human resources department!"
