Lin Wuyang, who had thrived in another world, transmigrated back just in time to encounter the [Ghost God Game].
The Otherworldly Gods have turned the game into a contest of national fate.
Win, and the gods manifest to protect your land. Lose, and dungeons descend, leaving the people to suffer!
*
The Ever-Lost Ghost Ship Dungeon
"Great Poseidon, God of the Sea, protect me!"
"Let your divine power descend upon this world, mighty Susanoo!"
The gods of other nations appeared one after another. Lin Wuyang realized that, because of a break in its cultural heritage, China's gods had gone into hiding, and the casualties were devastating.
Other nations watched hungrily, all hoping to take a bite out of China, once a mighty power on the world stage.
Before everyone's eyes, Lin Wuyang shouted at the sea, "Mom, help!"
The others laughed. "No offerings, no ritual. Has China really sunk so low that you're shouting 'Mom' at the sea?"
But then purple light shone above Lin Wuyang's head:
Congratulations, player, on unlocking the achievement: [Red Lantern Guidance]!
A slender woman appeared on the sea, a radiant golden title, [Heavenly Queen], above her head.
She lightly tapped with her pale fingers, and the waves calmed. A bright red lantern appeared at the bow of the haunted ship.
As everyone stared in stunned silence, the ghost ship obediently sailed back to shore.
Everyone else: ????
The Endless-Reincarnation Deep Mountain Dungeon
"Our mountain giants can help us hold out!"
"Mega! Gaia, protect me!"
"Great Oyama Tsumi, onegai!"
Lin Wuyang smiled faintly, holding a chubby little dog as he surveyed the view from the mountaintop.
The others laughed. "Hahaha, he's given up! Chinese mythology really is useless. But if you join our faith and worship our gods, China can survive!"
But the next moment, purple light flashed above his head again:
Congratulations, player, on triggering the achievement: [Search the Mountains and Subdue Demons]!
A white-robed divine general appeared in the forest, leading a slender dog. The golden title [Perfected Lord of the Clear Origin and Wondrous Way] flickered above him.
He pointed at the Otherworldly God's avatar and let go of the dog's leash.
The divine hound swept into the forest like a whirlwind. With a couple of fierce barks, it savagely tore into the despair-inspiring avatar of the Otherworldly God.
Everyone else: ????
As Lin Wuyang cleared more and more dungeons, everyone watched achievements pop up like a stream of comments: [Victorious Fighting Buddha], [Reborn from the Lotus], [Five-Colored Divine Light], [Mending the Heavens with Five-Colored Stones], [Creating Heaven and Earth].
They stared blankly at China's gods, wreathed in golden light and bearing titles like [Great Sage Equal to Heaven], [Great Deity of the Three Altars and Seas], [Great Peacock Wisdom King], [Nuwa], and [Pangu].
And in an unknown higher-dimensional space, the Otherworldly Gods were falling apart: Fighting these Chinese gods hurts so much! Run!
