Honghuang: This Heavenly Venerable Is Way Too Busy

When Xuan Qiong wakes up, he discovers that he has become a wisp of clear primordial energy from the dawn of the Primordial World. Even more absurdly, the moment he comes into being, the Heavenly Dao forcibly crowns him the “Profound Firmament Chaos-Cavern True One Heavenly Venerable,” with the title “Lord of the Azure Heaven”! He only wanted to find a cave and stay there until the end of time, but somehow he has become the Heavenly Dao’s number-one wage slave. Hongjun hasn’t merged with the Dao yet? The Three Pure Ones are still rookies? The dragons and phoenixes are at each other’s throats? The Ancestral Demon is up to no good? The Demon Clan wants to seize his Azure Heaven? Xuan, the Heavenly Venerable forced into action, says: “I just want to lie flat! Heavenly Dao, stop assigning me work!”

And so, a figure with a most unusual style appears in the Primordial World. He yawns while guiding the Three Pure Ones, finds the Dragon Clan too noisy to bother subduing, saves the spiritual veins of the West just so he can enjoy some peace later, and establishes the Celestial Court simply because he wants someone else to do the work... Though all he wants is to slack off, by a twist of fate he becomes a Sage through merit, saves the world and protects its people, and turns into the Primordial World’s biggest power behind the scenes and its “saintly father.” While all beings in the Primordial World bow down in worship, a certain Heavenly Venerable above the Azure Heaven sighs at the mountain of “Heavenly Dao task lists”: “The Heavenly Dao these days really knows how to exploit its employees!” This is the story of a laid-back man forced to take charge of the Azure Heaven, constantly swinging between slacking off and working, who ultimately leads the Primordial World toward an unexpected prosperity.
