Journey to the West: You're Supposed to Be a Land God, So Why Are You Building a Heavenly Court?

[The Weakest God’s Renegade Immortal]+ [Building a Divine Court]+ [Snatching Merit]+ [All Gods Come to Pay Homage]+ [The Mastermind Behind the Scenes]

I transmigrated into Journey to the West and became the lowliest local earth god. Immortals saw me as an insect, while monsters treated me like a snack.

Sun Wukong passed by and smashed my temple. The Heavenly Soldiers and Generals descended to the mortal realm and crushed my gate.

I can’t take this anymore! I’m done being some old earth god!

[Ding! The Strongest Divine Court System has activated. Host, please appoint your first subordinate god!]

Fine, fine! Since Heaven won’t help me and the Buddhist sect won’t take me in, I’ll build my own divine court!

I’ll snatch the merit! I’ll appoint the talent! I’ll call the shots in all three realms!

…

Many years later.
