The gods have returned across the world, and all people kneel to pray for their wishes.
The God of Wealth can save lives, the Medicine King can cure illness, the Matchmaker can grant love, and Wenchang can change your talent.
Everyone says the gods’ arrival is humanity’s last hope.
Until Lu Chen, a mortuary worker who collects bodies, punches the God of Wealth to death on a global livestream.
The divine miracles collapse, patients die, and the entire internet erupts in fury.
“Lu Chen, you destroyed our hope!”
“You’re no savior. You’re the enemy of the whole world!”
But they don’t know that the gods never save anyone for free.
Behind every wish lies a debt that will inevitably come due.
Some trade their lifespans for wealth, some trade their children for miracles, and some trade their dignity for a second chance at life. Some know the price and still kneel to beg the gods.
Lu Chen slays gods all along the way, while the world curses him at every turn.
Until, at the end of the disaster, billions kneel and beg him to become the one true god.
Lu Chen raises his final fist and executes himself.
