Myth Reborn

After spiritual qi revival, humanity ceased to be Earth's sole ruler overnight, and countless people died or were injured.

The Heavenly Court and the Underworld. Demons, monsters, ghosts, and spirits.

One by one, beings from mythology appeared in the human world.

To protect themselves, the government began conferring divine titles to safeguard humanity.

After ten years of fighting, humans and demons, monsters, ghosts, and spirits entered a brief period of peace.

Xiao Qi's parents were national heroes. Before they died, both had been granted divine titles by the government.

They gave their lives protecting ordinary people from demons and monsters. The government took in their son, who inherited their divine titles after graduating from university.

He returned to his parents' hometown and became a humble Land God and Water God.

People say being a god is easy. Xiao Qi just wants to give anyone who says that a withering look.

Every day, he's either patrolling his land and waters or working the fields at home.

He also has to go fight monsters and level up from time to time. He gets hardly any time to rest and is busier than he was as a human.

Worse still, he holds two divine titles, so he can't even slack off.

"Land God, please bless us with a bountiful harvest."

"Water God, we've already planted the crops. Please send some rain!"

The people pray in the temples of the Land God and Water God.

When Xiao Qi receives their prayers, he takes the seal of the Land God in one hand and the Water God's pearl in the other, then makes it rain on the land under his care, blessing them with abundant harvests.

"Hey, little god over there, have you finished your assignment? Ten divine talismans, ten spirit herbs, and the regular monthly assignment from the government."

Just as Xiao Qi is so busy he can't even get home, his superior suddenly calls.

"Why do we still have to meet performance targets after becoming gods?!"

"Enough complaining. Hurry up and turn in your assignment."

"Got it. Right away."

He hurriedly draws talismans, pulls up spirit herbs, and turns in his assignment.

Looking up at the faintly visible barrier in the sky, he sees the sign that one of the Five Spiritual Beings is missing. Of the Five Spiritual Beings of Heaven and Earth, the Qilin has vanished, leaving a weakness in China's barrier. Every ten days, a breach appears, and demons, monsters, ghosts, and spirits enter China through it to slaughter indiscriminately. Ordinary people can't withstand even one swipe of their claws.

As a god, he bears responsibility for ordinary people's lives and the nation's security. When he encounters demons, monsters, ghosts, or spirits, he must become a warrior and fight them. As a result, Xiao Qi is often injured.

Fortunately, whenever he's in danger, the national team arrives to rescue him in time, so he doesn't end up a national hero like his parents.
