There's a Cat Land God in the Neighboring Village

Yanyun Village had a lazy black cat that usually napped beneath the eaves of one household, begged for food in another household’s kitchen, stayed beneath the shade of an old tree in summer, and crawled into an extinguished stove in winter. As the ninth-rank village earth god of Yanyun Village, the black cat had a long lifespan and could easily have lived this lazy life for several hundred years.

But recently, the wandering ghosts outside Yanyun Village had brought some bad news.

In several commanderies to the west, enormous numbers of starving peasants had risen in revolt. They called themselves the Yellow Turban Strongmen. After drinking talisman water, they became impervious to blades and spears, raising an enormous commotion wherever they went. Several City God offices had even been torn down.

On the sea to the east, many more golden-haired, blue-eyed foreigners had appeared. They called themselves the Lambs of God. Their fluttering crosses carried a fierce divine might, and they were determined to turn this ancient fertile land into the promised land of the foreigners.

Amid the great changes sweeping the world, Big Black Cat, a minor earth god at the very bottom of the divine hierarchy, suddenly discovered that the people under his governance had recently begun acting strangely.

“Why are you moving my divine statue into the City God office?”

“Why has another Human King ennobled me as a Great Virtuous True God?!”

“Damn it, how did you mortals get the Celestial Emperor’s seal? Don’t give it to me! You’re making things terribly difficult for me!”
