"Eight thousand mountains, our mighty land! All my fellow demons, let's... cluck cluck cluck!"
The rags-to-riches story of a rooster who gave up trying.
Mu Feng, leader of the demon race, spent five hundred years slacking off in the mortal world before ascending to the heavens, bearing the hopes of his entire village.
Mu Feng originally thought life as a heavenly civil servant would be peaceful and pleasant, but he never expected to face discrimination for being born a demon.
After his immediate superior stole his military achievements, Mu Feng could take it no longer. He hacked off his superior's head, fought his way to the Hall of Lingxiao, and got a position he liked by threatening the Heavenly Emperor: Martial God of Wealth.
Thinking he could finally relax, Mu Feng opened the account books in the Hall of Wealth and turned pale. He realized there was a serious problem: the Ninth Heaven was so broke it had hit rock bottom. Forget about skimming off the top, he'd be lucky if he didn't have to pay out of pocket!
The new God of Wealth took stock of the situation and drafted a comprehensive plan to rescue the heavenly realm's finances overnight. He turned the Ninth Heaven upside down and added another notch to his fearsome reputation.
At the same time, he made a major contribution to Mu Feng topping the Most Hated Immortals list for dozens of consecutive terms.
A certain lynx: "Why is my boss always like that?"
A certain child: "Sigh, my adoptive father, the richest man in the heavenly realm, has absolutely no rooster charisma."
Mu Feng: "I'm not interested in money."
Reader's guide:
1. The protagonist is a rooster who became a spirit. He's neither human, demon, nor god, and his thought process is abnormal.
2. The protagonist's combat ability is at the ceiling. He never loses throughout the story.
3. Your rooster bro has been down on his luck, but he's never been poor. Even if he suffers hardship, it's a life experience he chose for himself.
