Fabricating Myths: Deceiving the Entire World

After transmigrating into a parallel world as an unlucky Taoist priest, Lin Chen has barely taken over the drafty, crumbling Qingyun Temple when he falls out of bed. But unlike the previous owner, who died from the fall, Lin Chen unlocks a "Myth-Making System."

The System's rules are simple and brutal: the more people believe a legend he makes up, the more likely it is to become real. The public's "Belief" can also be exchanged for "Myth Points" to unlock new creations.

Lin Chen tests the waters. First, he takes aim at the paper effigy's taboo against giving it eyes at midnight, bringing a gold-painted paper figure to life to kill. Then he exploits the old shadow-puppet taboo against using bloodstained leather, making the puppets drain the audience's vitality and leave them sluggish. A string of bizarre folk incidents sets the internet ablaze. #PaperEffigyComesToLife# and #ShadowPuppetsStealSouls# trend nationwide. An official investigation team chases leads like "talisman paper residue" and "energy traces," never suspecting that the culprit is hiding in Qingyun Temple, gleefully counting his skyrocketing Myth Points.

Once he's got enough points, it's time to think bigger:

Make up a "Pre-Qin Daoist Ruins" and let spiritual energy emerge from a mine on the outskirts, drawing crowds of explorers;

Create a "Basic Breathing Technique," claiming it was unearthed from the ruins as an immortal's legacy, and trick millions into practicing it;

Even invent two organizations, the "Profound Guardian Society" and the "Truth-Seizing Pavilion," and have them secretly fight over fragments of cultivation manuals while he profits from their faith.

Then he sets his sights on the Primordial Era: "Earth is a fragment of the Primordial World" and "The ancient gods and demons shattered the world in their war." As he spends Myth Points to make these tales real, a qilin's phantom appears, Primordial treasures rise from the water, and the very air fills with absorbable spiritual energy.

The whole world believes the "myth" he has woven. The spiritual qi revival sweeps the globe, and factions everywhere turn their eyes toward the Primordial World's resources.
