On his first day delivering takeout, Jiang Xiaofan’s phone automatically installs the Heavenly Dao Crowdsource app. From then on, his order list takes a strange turn:
[Urgent] Broken sword guard: deliver to Listening Rain Sword Pavilion (spiritual energy infusion ×1)
[Special Offer] A wisp of obsession: deliver to Granny Meng’s pavilion by the Bridge of Helplessness (underworld merit ×10)
[Scheduled Order] Subdue the evil spirit at the City God Temple: bring your own peachwood sword (merit ×300)
The owner of the late-night wonton stall is a Nascent Soul Ancestor, a thousand-year-old painted-skin demon is hiding in an office building, and Jiang Xiaofan practices sword flight while stuck in traffic and comprehends earth-escape talismans at red lights. While other delivery drivers are still competing over speed, Jiang Xiaofan is already competing over tribulation transcendence.
Then one day, he receives a mysterious order:
[Five-Star Express] Origin of the Heavenly Dao: deliver beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens to the Purple Cloud Palace (reward: ???)
Looking at the navigation screen’s message, “Distance to destination: 99,999 kilometers,” Jiang Xiaofan silently twists the throttle on his electric scooter.
“Hello, this is Heavenly Dao Delivery. Please leave a five-star review.”
