The spiritual qi revival begins, and mythology returns.
The gods and buddhas filling the skies believe their era has returned.
Then they run into a brick wall: the iron fist of modern civilization, and a system of rules called the Interim Regulations for the Management of Supernatural Entities.
The River God demands boys and girls as sacrifices? How about Article 232 of the Criminal Law: attempted intentional homicide?
The Thunder God wants to knock out the power grid to show off his might? The Electricity Law and the Counterterrorism Law, with multiple charges to be combined. Get ready to sign!
An ancient power tries to restore the rule of the gods? Friend, you have seriously endangered national security. We suggest you rephrase that.
Lin Mo, formerly an obscure master’s student in mythology, is now a low-level civil servant at the Bureau of Mythological Affairs and Cultural Adaptation.
His job is to make these deities who want to “do things the old-fashioned way” understand and embrace the core socialist values.
His weapons aren’t flying swords or talismans, but statutes, performance reviews, and ideological education.
His catchphrase: “Don’t talk to me about divine powers. Here in the mortal world, you follow the law and act reasonably.”
But when Lin Mo discovers that all the gods’ strange behavior seems to point to an “Old One” seeking to overthrow modern civilization, he realizes this battle of “roasting” has only just begun.
