[Deification] + [Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio] + [Late Ming] + [play the pig to eat the tiger] Chen Lin is struck dead by lightning while buying the Chart of Divine Offices of Fengdu at a street stall. He finds himself in the Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio world of the Late Ming, a time when all rites and order have collapsed and corpses litter the land. He becomes a courier in the border army. When a nation is on the brink of collapse, monsters are sure to appear. The yellow-earth hungry ghosts on the imperial road, the fox spirits demanding titles, the drought demon that leaves a thousand miles of scorched earth, and the surging army of grassland zombies… Things are disastrous from the start, but luckily, he can play the gods depicted in the Chart of Divine Offices and gain some of their powers. Once his portrayal reaches one hundred percent, he can even turn the unreal into reality. He saves the realm from ruin, earns an official divine investiture, plays the gods of the underworld, and establishes the rightful order of heaven and earth.
