Buried in debt, Jiang Hao was cast aside by a game company once he was no longer useful. Saddled with enormous debts, he had no choice but to sign a contract with the Heavenly Dao Company. He had to plan a game within three months, and on its launch day, it had to reach a peak of one million concurrent players and an average of at least one hundred thousand. If he failed to fulfill the contract, death would be the least of his worries: his soul would also be used to light a sky lantern.
Under immense pressure, Jiang Hao plans a PC game that was hugely popular in his previous life, Fantasy Westward Journey, drawing on his past understanding of games and mythological legends.
Fantasy Westward Journey becomes a household name, introducing the people of Blue Star to figures from Eastern mythology, instead of being subjected to cultural invasion by Western angels, birdmen, God, Jesus, and the like.
In the game company's office, Jiang Hao lounges with his feet up. Suddenly, the door is flung open, and in walk five big shots he can't afford to offend.
An immortal from the Eastern pantheon: "Jiang Hao, how did you spread the figures of Eastern mythology?"
A monster from the Eastern pantheon: "Jiang Hao, how about a deal? Put me in your game. I don't mind being a villain."
A member of the Eastern underworld: "Jiang Hao, call me if you need someone for your next film. I'll work for free, and I'll even throw in three six-thousand-year peaches of immortality. How does that sound?"
A saint from the Eastern pantheon: "Jiang Hao, does your game need any bald monks? The kind with gleaming heads."
The Demon Lord Chi You: "All of you, get lost! Jiang Hao... how about a deal? Let me be the final boss again next time. I don't mind being the villain. The important thing is that people on Blue Star remember me."
