Li Chai woke up to find he had become the biggest unlucky fool in the Primordial World. Before he could even figure out what was happening, the gaping maw of a ferocious beast was right in front of him!
At the brink of death, a battered ledger suddenly appeared in his mind: the Great Dao Debt Register! So the entire Primordial World was full of deadbeats? Pangu owed a fortune for creating the heavens and earth, the Dao Ancestor hadn't paid for his lectures, and the Sages had taken out loans to reach Sagehood?!
“The ferocious beast owes spirit energy fees? Enforce collection!” With a single thought, the terrifying beast was instantly drained until it was nothing but a husk, its pure cultivation flowing back into him!
Li Chai was ecstatic! From then on, the Primordial World took a sharp turn:
The Dragon-Han Calamity? Pay the environmental pollution fine first!
Lectures at the Zixiao Palace? Hongjun, did you collect tuition before starting class? Scan to pay at the door!
Nuwa creating humans? Did you file a patent? Pay the overdue materials fee and luck deposit! Ninety percent of the merit she had just earned for becoming a Sage was seized on the spot!
The Three Pure Ones founding their sects? They owed countless epochs of tax on Pangu's inheritance, plus interest! Put up your magic treasures as collateral!
The Two Sages of the West pleading poverty? Making grand vows is just taking out a loan shark's loan! Put up the land deed, and repay future Buddhist income in installments!
Dao Ancestor Hongjun wanted to merge with the Heavenly Dao and skip out on his debts? Li Chai laughed. “Debts must be repaid. Even the Heavenly Dao can't run!” He activated his Great Dao authority and restructured the Heavenly Dao!
When the greatest secret of the Primordial World was revealed, and the source of all debts traced back to the dawn of creation, it turned out that even the Heavenly Dao Sages were nothing more than highly paid wage slaves. Holding the Debt Register, Li Chai gazed down at all living beings. “Don't panic. I'm just a debt collector with no feelings. Who's paying up today?”
