Xie Xiangyang believed neither in ghosts nor gods, nor in religion. He scoffed at the local earth god shrine in his village.
He never expected to be chosen by the System and become the local earth god.
Now it's his turn to worry about attracting worshippers.
Xie Xiangyang: Aunties, the earth god shrine really works! Come and offer incense!
After becoming an earth god, Xie Xiangyang thought his life would be full of bloodshed, battling ghosts and monsters left and right.
He never imagined that once word got out, every demon and ghost would come knocking.
An old woman who'd just died in a village below the mountain: Little Immortal, the chicken at my son's house was stolen by that damned neighbor of his.
Xie Xiangyang: ...You can tell him in a dream.
A shy, coy fox spirit from the neighboring mountain: Little Immortal, my sweetheart down the mountain hasn't come to see me in ages.
Xie Xiangyang: ...What does it have to do with me if he hasn't come?
"I want to see the sea!"
"Tell him his mother just died. He shouldn't go looking for a new wife so soon!"
The ghosts and monsters all chattered at once, making a racket.
Xie Xiangyang slammed his hand down in anger. "Quiet! This is an earth god shrine, not the village community center! Could you all show some respect for your identities as ghosts and demons?"
Demons and ghosts: What age are we living in? Stop discriminating! We're all good ghosts and good demons of the modern era!
In the Age of Declining Dharma, the gods withdrew from the world. By accident, Xie Xiangyang became the only minor god left in the world. With the System in hand, he took on the duty of vanquishing demons, driving out evil, and protecting humanity, embarking on a life full of cheat-like advantages.
Reader's guide: Modern alternate setting, everything is made up.
Please add my upcoming novel to your reading list: The Strongest General Reborn
In the first year of the interstellar era, humanity was forced to abandon its home planet and head into space to colonize new worlds. After a century of struggle came to an end, Yu Ze, the most gifted general in the Interstellar Alliance, choked to death while drinking water on the eve of victory.
After his controversial death, Yu Ze woke up to find that his soul had entered the body of a descendant many years in the future. By then, the Yu family had fallen into decline and was about to be expelled from the capital planet. Having become the hope of his entire family by getting into the Alliance's Star Academy, Yu Ze thought: "I've been reborn once. I don't want to fight anymore. I just want to be a harmless chef."
The hothead who challenged him on his first day and got punched unconscious: "???"
The school bully who threw his weight around and got taught a lesson instead: "???"
The military students, their faces bruised and swollen after a student from the so-called culinary program thrashed them in a mech combat tournament, asked in disbelief: "You call this harmless?"
Also known as: A general who doesn't want to be a chef isn't a good pharmacist!

Theme: Harmony, civilization, prosperity, and strength.
I feel like Xiangyang's parents are not so heartless. They may really want their own biological child, but if they don't love Xiangyang, they won't wait until after Xiangyang's college entrance examination to have their own child, and they won't drag him down so much... Both parties are very gentle. It would be great if there could be a follow-up episode with the parents.
Ah? It's over... The beginning is pretty good. It's a waste of time if you don't hit the mark. Besides, in a broad sense, any novel with some supernatural elements can't be considered a hit.
I think there is something wrong with the IQ of these students. They are all in college and don't know that blood is an important way of transmitting diseases. Who knows if the people present are sick, so they drink blood like this?
Is this the end? Always feel like it's not enough
I'm speechless. Doesn't a monster have no communication method at all? If you're injured and can't move, just call your fellow humans to rescue you. There is no one to save him, so he is left to die.
Is there something wrong? His father would get angry at every turn and curse at others, even though he was clearly in the wrong.
Is it wrong to bully someone's son even though he knows his ghost is there?
Can the author see it? A female Taoist priest cannot be called a Taoist nun. This is a curse, just like calling a monk a bald head or a bald donkey. Just call her a Taoist priest. If you emphasize women, you can call her a Taoist priest. If you are a male, you can call her a Taoist priest. No matter how bad it is, calling a female Taoist priest is better than a Taoist nun.
I just want to ask, sir, what is the anti-theft ratio you set...
Is the author resurrected? Finally waited for the update
