Synopsis

After failing the college entrance exams, I retreated to a remote mountain temple, ready to lie flat. Who would have thought that a murderous ghost would knock at midnight, forcibly activating the Daoist Investiture System! [System Notice: Rule-based entity “Knocking Ghost” detected. Host, please confer a divine title!] As I watched the shadow about to break through the door, I decided to give it a try and shouted, “I confer upon you the title of Guardian Deity, in charge of guarding the home and handling deliveries!” The next second, the menacing shadow transformed into a delivery guy, who bowed respectfully. “Boss, your starter guide package has arrived. Please sign for it!” [Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have successfully conferred a title upon your first deity. You have gained 1,000 Faith Points and unlocked the divine court building “Mountain Gate”!] Thus was born the most powerful and most absurd divine court in history. I made a water ghost into a River God, tasked with purifying water; a spirit of the pen into the Star of Literature, responsible for supervising students’ studies; even an AI virus became a Heavenly Network Inspector! When all the gods and Buddhas fell silent, the supernatural returned across the world, and everyone was in despair, they suddenly discovered... Why was a whole host of immortals emerging from that dilapidated temple in the East?!
