Lin Xiao is known in the martial world as “Lin the Little Liar.” He makes his living by talking his way through life.
When a global awakening unleashes high-martial arts, supernatural abilities, and ancient martial arts everywhere, he panics! He’d planned to find someone powerful to cling to, but instead he accidentally activates his family’s inherited “God-Summoning” mark. Unfortunately, it’s a defective version!
The incantations? Made up! The hand signs? Random gestures! Who to summon? He just goes with his gut!
“By the power of the law, transform! Ultraman Tiga!” “God of Wealth, get over here!” “Matchmaker, tie the knot already!”, The ancestors who show up are never what he ordered!
He wants wealth, but the God of Plagues arrives, driving his rival company to bankruptcy overnight. He wants to find a match, but an avatar of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven sends his show-off rival flying with one swing of his cudgel. Cornered by a great demon, he cries out in desperation, “Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens, help!”, and the ethereal goddess knocks down half a building with one palm!
The results are spectacular? He crushes everyone? Awesome!
But what’s the price?
A debt of incense offerings! An astronomical debt of incense offerings!
The Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens pulls out a star chart invoice. “One palm strike: ten trillion in incense offerings. No mortal currency accepted.”
An avatar of Sun Wukong scratches his head. “My appearance fee? Put the Flower-Fruit Mountain reconstruction bill on your tab!”
A clerk from the Land of Light (yes, an Ultraman clerk!) adjusts his glasses. “Overtime pay is calculated according to universal labor standards.”
The Supernatural Affairs Bureau wants to arrest him? A Judge’s projection checks their karmic merit!
An ancient martial arts prodigy challenges him? The Great Sage teaches them a lesson with his cudgel!
A demon king wants to eat him? First, they’ll have to ask the great powers of the myriad heavens, already lined up behind him demanding repayment, if they agree!
And so, the high-martial world gains a bizarre spectacle:
The strongest con artist, Lin the Little Liar, is either on his way to summon gods at random and crush his enemies, or being chased by the great powers of the myriad heavens as he works off his debts!
