On the day the gods return, Shen Ke is hauling bricks at a construction site. Mythical beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas descend en masse upon modern cities: Bifang sets the CBD ablaze, Taotie chews through a financial tower, and Yinglong overturns a high-speed rail station. Awakened fighters from around the world are crushed, and the United Nations issues an urgent appeal for help. Only Shen Ke walks toward the rampaging Qiongqi with a bucket of feed. “Easy now, dinner's ready.” Every divine beast falls silent on the spot, then obediently sits in a row, waiting to be fed. Later, when S-rank monsters run wild across the globe, Shen Ke pulls out a copy of the Labor Contract for the Classic of Mountains and Seas. “Sign this, and you'll get paid daily, meals included, and full social insurance.” The three great divine nations scramble to pay protection money overnight. The whole world trembles, hoping this “animal keeper” won't hit them with another dimension-level beatdown.
