[Urban Supernatural Powers, Mysterious Resurgence, Taoist Arts to Slay Demons, Ruthless Decisiveness]
I had just started working the night shift at a funeral home when a corpse sat bolt upright inside its morgue drawer!
Blood streamed from its eyes, and its resentment was overwhelming! Worse still, the official “superpower big shot” who arrived to rescue us was killed by the monster on the spot, and even the exit was locked tight!
While everyone else panicked and waited to die, I stayed calm and silently formed the hand seal passed down in my family. A flash of golden light appeared in my mind, and the Spirit-Subduing Manual activated!
As long as I subdue and guide the supernatural horrors of this world to the afterlife, I can earn enormous amounts of merit! Spend merit for unlimited stat boosts! Max-level Golden Light Mantra, Samadhi True Fire, and the Four-Direction Thunder-Calling Formation, all unlocked in an instant!
“What's so impressive about your high-tech superpowers? Today, I'll show you what a crushing advantage from traditional Taoist arts looks like!”
I casually dipped a finger in a drop of rain and tapped the monster between the brows. The ferocious corpse demon vanished in an instant! The official operatives, so full of themselves, gaped in shock, then chased after me begging me to come out of retirement!
In this era of superpower supremacy and declining Taoist arts, I insist on playing the pig to eat the tiger, grinding monsters and stacking stats like crazy! A cool, aloof policewoman comes begging for her life? An antique worth a fortune is hiding a bloody seal? Before the Living King of Hell, every last one of them will be sent to the afterlife!
Until one day, the spirit realms launched a massive invasion, the nation's defenses teetered on the brink of collapse, and the human world was about to become a living hell.
Clad in simple robes, I stepped into the void and flung out a hundred thousand Heavenly Thunder Talismans. Gazing calmly at the terrifying gods and demons blanketing the horizon, I said, “I hear you're tough. Today, your names are going on the Book of Life and Death!”
