From Night Watchman to Lord of All Creation

Zhao Shanhe opened his eyes and found himself a night watchman. He carried a lantern, clapped his wooden clapper, walked the streets at night, and beat the watch at the first, third, and fifth watches. In these chaotic times, this miserable line of work meant running into demons, ghosts, bandits, and thieves at any moment. His life was always in danger. Fortunately, in this world, every trade has its own champions! Laborers carried loads and hauled goods with strength enough to move mountains! Postal couriers covered a hundred miles a day and delivered messages like the wind, able to chase the breeze! Boatmen harnessed the wind to sail and rowed upstream, able to ride the waves! Storytellers spun tales of dreams and wonders, luring people into dreams and leaving them lost in an instant of splendor. Herbalists scaled cliffs and leaped across precipices to gather medicinal herbs, plucking stars from the sky with ease. With the Occupational Path Compendium in his mind, Zhao Shanhe unlocked one trade after another, ascending step by step. Then he looked up and saw the land in ruins, the people destitute. He raised his gong and struck it gently. Clang! Its sound shook the Nine Provinces. In an instant, the land was restored, the people lived in peace, and all under heaven was at peace! As the saying goes: A ringing gong quells chaos, a raised lantern lights the land.
