[Schemes and intrigue] + [Everyday madness] + [Sharp-tongued snark] + [A tale of the Primordial World]
After transmigrating into the body of Shen Gongbao, a leopard demon on Kunlun Mountain, he has just begun celebrating his escape from the layoff-and-scapegoating nightmare of his previous life.
Then the Primordial Heavenly Lord announces that the Investiture of the Gods list is a “Heavenly Court layoff plan,” designed to weed out “insubordinates” who can attain immortality in the flesh.
He watches as Jiang Ziya accepts the critical role of list administrator, with benefits equivalent to those of Heaven’s HR director.
The Heavenly Lord’s remark, “Your roots are shallow,” sets off Shen Gongbao’s career radar: this is a sign he’s about to be downsized!
The moment the Investiture of the Gods list unfurls, he sees the Heavenly Dao’s official directives:
[Eliminate redundant cultivators and conserve resources across the Three Realms]
[Those listed will work forever, subject to KPI assessments with the God-Beating Whip]
Shen Gongbao’s vision goes dark. The cultivation world has a bottom-of-the-rankings layoff system, too?
