On his first day as an immortal, Li Yan realizes that the Heavenly Court is a huge corporation.
The Three Pure Ones are shareholder-directors, the Jade Emperor is the group president, and all the gods and Buddhas in the heavens are his coworkers.
He only wanted a stable civil-service position and a long life, but just as he’s about to be promoted to “Director of the Flower-Fruit Mountain Subdistrict Office,” his application gets held up in the OA system.
It’s held up for three years! Three days in Heaven, three years on Earth!
His salary stops coming in, he lives off his savings, and he nearly ends up borrowing spirit rice from his alma mater.
The culprit turns out to be Sun Wukong, the new director of the Commuter Management Office.
Li Yan goes to demand an explanation, only to get swept into a power struggle at the top and become the Jade Emperor’s secret agent.
The Havoc in Heaven? That’s the Spirit Mountain project team trying to poach the Heavenly Court’s people!
The pilgrimage to the West? That’s the prelude to a merger between two corporate giants!
He only wants to keep his head down and stay alive, but the “Merit Trading System” inside him activates.
In that case, he decides to change the game
Use merit to buy original shares in the Heavenly Dao, and use education to gain control of the Three Realms.
When Li Yan stands before the assembled immortals and Buddhas with his ever-thickening certificate of shares in hand,
he raises his cup and smiles. “Allow me to introduce myself again. I’m Li Yan, a junior civil servant at the Heavenly Court, and… a minor shareholder in each of your businesses.”
