Jiang Che transmigrated to the eve of the Great Calamity of Investiture of the Gods and became a low-ranking mountain god of a barren mountain on the edge of the Primordial World. His domain spanned only three hundred li, his incense offerings had ceased, and his magic was feeble. Any random monster could trample him underfoot. Just as he thought he was about to become the most miserable god of all, the Heavenly Court Official System activated. By completing his divine-duty KPIs, governing his territory, and accumulating merit, he could rise through the ranks, unlock higher divine positions and authority, and earn merit stipends and supreme treasures.
Starting with the first spiritual fruit tree he planted, Jiang Che built mountain roads, temples, spiritual fields, and relay stations, and established an underworld bureau. He transformed a barren mountain no one cared about into the Primordial World's model grassroots district.
Mountain god, county City God, prefectural City God, divine inspector, underworld administrator... Step by step, he seized opportunities, recruited divine beasts, established order, and amassed merit. Even Jiang Ziya came to his door seeking help with the logistics plan for the Investiture of the Gods campaign, while Shen Gongbao wanted to poach him for a prestigious position in the Jie Sect.
While the saints were still scheming over the Great Calamity and the immortals fought over fortune, Jiang Che had already built a divine empire spanning the mortal realm and the underworld, all through a Primordial World-style civil service system. In this life, he wasn't going to merely scrape by!
