I House the Gods in an Old Bookshop

Chen Yuan inherited the Myriad Forms Study his grandfather left behind. When he opened the vermilion door to the basement, he found a sealed starry sky within. It housed fallen gods, surviving immortals and Buddhas, and the escaped servants of outer gods. Each time he sealed away one of its inhabitants, he could borrow that being's core abilities.

On a stormy night, he took in a Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox and gained Illusion Eyes. He also casually slapped the A-rank anomaly, the Many-Faced Ghost, into a book. By the time Shen Qingzhu, captain of the Wardens, came looking for him, half a dozen gods already lived on his shelves.

The outer gods whisper, Guixu has appeared in the world, and the Twilight of the Gods is not over. While extraordinary individuals around the world are still sorting themselves into ranks from F to SSS, a hundred book spirits already stand behind Chen Yuan. The Celestial Fox beguiles, Nezha burns the sea, the Dragon King subdues the abyss, and Pangu creates the heavens. He alone is a walking temple of gods.

My bookstore has one thing in abundance: rooms. Chen Yuan smiled and tore out a page. "However many come, I'll take them all."
