After waking up, Li Wei, an overworked modern office drone, finds that his soul has transmigrated to the Primordial World and taken over Eastern Emperor Taiyi, who is destined to perish in the Witch-Demon Tribulation.
Faced with the Heavenly Dao's schemes and the chess game of the Saints, Taiyi touches the Chaos Bell, his innate supreme treasure, and gives a cold smile worthy of an office worker.
Slaying the Three Corpses? That's a labor contract with the Heavenly Dao! Primordial Violet Qi? That's a shackle of the Heavenly Dao!
In this life, he will forge his own path to [Hunyuan Daluo] and command the Great Dao of [Order]!
And so, the Primordial World undergoes a dramatic makeover.
At Zixiao Palace, after the Dao Ancestor finishes his lecture, Taiyi rings the Chaos Bell right on time. “Class is over. Even the Heavenly Dao must follow labor regulations.” Dao Ancestor Hongjun: “...Very well.”
In the Demon Clan's Celestial Court, Taiyi introduces KPI assessments and a merit-points system, driving the countless demons to wail as they work themselves to the bone. His old rival Kunpeng is driven to the brink by an endless flood of reports, while his loyal core staff eagerly collect rewards such as “Employee of the Month for Order.”
When the tribulation looms, he produces the Feasibility Report on a Smooth Resolution of the Witch-Demon Tribulation and the Proposal for the Western Teachings to Bear the Primordial World's Negative Karma in the Long Term. He bows to the Dao Ancestor and says, “Boss, do you think this plan better serves the core interests of the Heavenly Dao's sustainable development?”
While the Saints are still scheming over fortune and treating all things as pieces on a chessboard, Taiyi has already used his authority as “Executive of Order” to keep the Primordial World running like clockwork. His ultimate goal has always been clear:
Say no to the rat race, starting with me. Put the Primordial World in order and clock out on time!
Since we don't kill the three corpses, how come we are quasi-saints?
