Li Sui took part in a wilderness survival challenge. He started a fire by rubbing sticks together and somehow rubbed himself straight into the primordial world.
The moment he landed, a flood of heavenly merit smacked him in the face.
[Ding! You successfully started a fire and received one “Merit Golden Lotus”!]
Li Sui: “???”
He seemed to have found a bug in this world.
And so he began pulling off one outrageous stunt after another:
He invented houses, and the Heavenly Dao sent him a gift, instantly turning one into the “Ancestral Home of Humanity”!
He invented clothes, and the Heavenly Dao rewarded him, upgrading animal hides into “Merit-Infused Ceremonial Robes”!
He invented writing, and the Heavenly Dao was so delighted that it personally showed up to cheer him on!
Others cultivated bitterly for ten thousand years, yet still couldn’t match a single invention of his.
The Heavenly Venerable of the Primordial Beginning accused him of following heretical ways, so he whipped out a textbook on “Ideological and Moral Education.”
When the demon army came bearing down, he raised the twenty-four golden words of the “Core Socialist Values.” Their radiance blazed as demons fell to their knees in submission.
Nuwa: “This man is destined to be connected to my human race...”
Queen Mother of the West: “This fire warms my heart...”
With goddesses surrounding him, merit-gathering golden lotuses paving his way, and the Brush of Civilization in hand, Li Sui prepared to get the Heavenly Dao registered as a household member. The Dao Ancestor Hongjun could no longer sit still. “Fellow Daoist, please stay your steps. This position as a Great Dao Sage... is it guaranteed to be ripe?”
