The apocalypse has arrived. Dimensional rifts have appeared around the world, monsters are running rampant, and nuclear weapons no longer work.
A global "Godwar Livestream" has descended out of nowhere. Survivors awaken the mythologies of their respective nations and become "Divine Agents." They livestream their battles to earn Mythic Points, which can be exchanged for divine power, divine artifacts, and survival supplies.
The Greek region awakens Poseidon, the "God of the Sea." The Norse region awakens Thor, the "God of Thunder." Japan awakens Amaterasu, the "Great Sun Goddess"... Then it is China's turn. Under the gaze of millions, they draw a... monkey?
"Chinese mythology? Isn't that just a circus monkey who knows how to swing a staff?" "A third-rate pantheon deserves a spot on the rankings?"
As the whole world mocks him, Chen Xu quietly glances at his rank panel: [Great Sage Equal to Heaven · Sealed · 0.01% Unsealed].
Then he uses his last three Mythic Points to exchange for a thirty-second trial of "Heaven and Earth in the Palm of His Hand."
That night, an S-rank monster, Taotie, has its health bar emptied.
The global chat goes wild.
"Wait, he can beat an S-rank monster at 0.01%? What would 100% look like?"
"What kind of monstrous pantheon is China's?!"
Chen Xu flicks the blood off his staff, standing atop an auspicious cloud. He grins at the tens of billions watching the livestream:
"Who's next?"
