In the interstellar age, humans can command spirits, and civilizations with different faith systems clash in wars of divine belief.
Jiang Wan transmigrates and opens her eyes to find herself mining in shackles.
The entire planet is one enormous mining world. Jiang Wan's people belong to an F-rank civilization, the lowest in the interstellar hierarchy. For hundreds of years, this group, treated as expendable labor, has failed to summon a single deity. They are known as the godless expendables.
Jiang Wan: What? An F-rank civilization? You're saying a civilization with five thousand years of history has no gods?
To change their situation and stay alive, Jiang Wan struggles to find a summoning array. At the critical moment, she pulls a yellowed ancient book from the void.
The overseers and black-market spectators, watching for entertainment, assume this will be another pointless joke.
But when Jiang Wan opens the book, the phantom that appears behind her is...
Nuwa, who created humanity from clay? Houtu, who governs reincarnation? Or the Queen Mother of the West, who punishes evil?
After fighting her way through the mining world, Jiang Wan takes her people to compete in an interstellar livestream tournament of faith.
As a newly registered F-rank mythological civilization, they face Celtic mythology, a B-rank civilization, in their very first battle.
The crowd is indifferent: Let's go watch the other livestreams. There's no way a newly registered mythological civilization can beat a B-rank one.
On the livestream, the cover of the Classic of Mountains and Seas in Jiang Wan's hands slowly unfolds. The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Phoenix flank her, while Taotie, Hundun, Taowu, and Qiongqi charge into battle. Mount Kunlun rises, and countless strange beasts and plants emerge from it, leaving the nature deities and druid mages helpless against them.
First match [The Right to Nature] Celtic Mythology vs. Huaxia Mythology: Huaxia Mythology wins!
The crowd: ???
Just as everyone assumes this is merely a fluke caused by cultural affinities and counters...
Second match [Battle of the Gods] Japanese Mythology vs. Huaxia Mythology: Battle of the Gods.
The crowd mocks them: Japan has eight thousand gods. A mere few hundred strange beasts can't possibly win.
Facing an opponent wielding eight thousand gods, Jiang Wan quietly brings out the Extensive Records of the Taiping Era. Immortals and spirits crush the opposition with ease. Huaxia Mythology wins.
The crowd: !!!
Third match [The Contest of Reincarnation] Bharata Mythology vs. Huaxia Mythology: The Contest of Reincarnation.
Huaxia Mythology wins.
Fourth match [The Debate on Fate]...
Huaxia Mythology wins.
The other gods: We can't beat them, there's just no way! Damn it, why does one mythology encompass everything, with countless styles and something for every occasion?!
