A Little Deity's Internship

Li Xingchi wakes up one day and finds he's transmigrated to an age when magic has all but vanished.

Spiritual energy has dried up, incense offerings have dwindled, and the gods in the heavens stopped involving themselves in worldly affairs long ago. Meanwhile, he is clueless and has somehow become a newborn god.

Just as he has no idea what to do, Heaven sends him a guide who tells him: Want to become a full-fledged immortal? Start as an intern. Build up merit at a temple in the mortal world, and you'll be promoted once you've earned enough.

Li Xingchi obediently nods and gets to work in a dilapidated temple.

Unfortunately, his meager divine power makes the wishes he grants a little dubious.

A worshipper prays for wealth and burns incense. Li Xingchi diligently bestows a blessing, only for the worshipper to find thirty yuan in incense-money refunds in their bank account.

A young woman sincerely bows and prays to lose weight. He exhausts his divine power to help her shed ten pounds, and also breaks her bones, so she loses weight while stuck in the hospital.

A programmer devoutly prays to get rich. Li Xingchi visits him in a dream that night and tells him which lottery ticket to buy. The next day, the company hands him a generous layoff package. He really did get rich.

A worshipper files a complaint: "This god must be a real jerk."

Li Xingchi feels aggrieved: "It's not my fault! I only have so much divine power. Being able to grant the wishes at all is already pretty good!"

Just as he starts questioning his life, a group of uninvited guests arrives at the temple: vengeful ghosts cause trouble, demons wreak havoc, and evil gods fight over territory.

He's about to run, but then one of his worshippers gets in trouble. For the sake of his pitiful little worshipper, Li Xingchi has no choice but to draw his sword and attack. After defeating a little ghost, he discovers that his merit has gone up by a hundred!

Li Xingchi's eyes light up. He charges into battle.

Can't win? No problem.

The moment he cries, "Help!" all the gods in the heavens appear in unison:

The Star Lord of Fire Virtue unleashes the Threefold True Fire, the Star Lord of Greedy Wolf breaks through the formation with a saber, the Star Lord of Literary Arts descends to give a hands-on lesson, and even the King of Hell sends up a stack of "Quick Reference Sheets on Demon Weaknesses" from the underworld.

It can't be helped. He's the last little god left in this age when magic has vanished.

The entire heavenly realm, the underworld, and the mortal world are counting on this lone sprout to keep the incense offerings alive.

Li Xingchi strikes a proud pose: He's got powerful people looking out for him too!
