Incense-Fueled Livestream: Slaying Gods as the Earth God

Fragrance of Faith Livestream: Slaying Gods, Starting with the Earth God is set in a modern city where humans, gods, demons, and spirits coexist. The Eastern and Western mythologies are secretly vying for believers. Chen Ping’an, an ordinary college student, unexpectedly inherits a dilapidated Earth God temple and binds himself to the “Fragrance of Faith Livestream System.” Starting out as the lowest-ranked Earth God, he builds up faith points through livestreaming, which he can exchange for divine artifacts and new skills. He navigates incidents such as a haunted campus maze and challenges from Eastern and Western gods.

Eastern deities like Nezha run a “Wind-Fire Wheel Milk Tea Shop,” using Samadhi True Fire to cook tapioca pearls, while Yang Jian works part-time as a deliveryman, using his Third Eye to spot demons. In the West, Zeus opens a “Thunder Bar,” mixing drinks with lightning, while Odin sells counterfeit divine treasures in an antiques shop. With the System’s cheat-like powers, Chen Ping’an takes on opponents far above his rank. He exposes the West’s “Faith Harvester” conspiracy, teams up with the Old Man Under the Moon to livestream solutions to romantic troubles and gain a surge of followers, and gets caught up in events like Heaven’s Faith Festival and the Twilight of the Gods Project.

Blending hilarious everyday life with intense clashes, the story pits the Eastern divine bureaucracy against the ranks of Western divine power. As the protagonist gains followers through livestreaming and averts crises, he steadily rises through the ranks and uncovers the truth of the mythological world. Meanwhile, he develops a cross-pantheon romance with the aloof Chang’e, in a lighthearted fantasy romp starring humans, gods, demons, and spirits.
