“I have failed you all! The Heavenly Court... is bankrupt!” the Jade Emperor announced tearfully. The gods were all laid off and banished to the mortal world!
Their powers greatly diminished? Their faith gone? No problem!
Taibai Jinxing raised his arm and cried, “The mortal world is also a place where we can rebuild our Daoist tradition! We’ll establish the Wish Fulfillment Research Institute, using merit as our foundation and technology as our aid, and make the glory of the past shine again!”
From the start, they had nothing. Even gods had to worry about paying rent!
But that was no challenge for these former big shots!
Find a lost pet → Merit +1, unlock [Community Favorability] x10%!
Develop a new medicine → Merit +100,000, unlock [Life Sciences Laboratory] LV.1, triple Taishang Laojun’s alchemy efficiency!
Help put a spacecraft on the moon → Merit +100 million, unlock [Lunar Base Construction Module], grant Chang'e access to [Guanghan Palace Projection]!
The gods weren’t just rapidly regaining their powers. They were unlocking all kinds of outrageous new skills!
What? Use Yue Lao’s red threads for AI matchmaking and big data?!
What? Send the Thunder Duke and Lightning Mother to research controlled nuclear fusion?!
When their merits were complete, a super Heavenly Court combining modern technology with immortal arts would soon be born in their hands!
