What Do You Mean, Wild Deity? Call Me the Dao Lord of Blessings!

After transmigrating into this world, Li Jingnian becomes a forgotten little mountain god beneath a peach blossom tree. He spends his days dwelling in a shrine, on the verge of fading away, until a young shepherd riding a blue ox places a nectarine before the altar. Only then does he awaken to the world and open his eyes to the human realm.

In this world, demons devour people, the powerful keep humans as slaves, and commoners’ lives are as worthless as ants. Beneath a decaying dynasty that has lasted a thousand years lies a land of famine and suffering.

That year, Li Jingnian awoke inside the shrine and heard the wishes of the worshippers who came and went. He could consume the incense offerings of the human world to strengthen his divine soul, growing ever more powerful.

[You spared the people of Qingping Village from the tiger demon’s attacks, allowing merchants to travel freely. Reward: Water of the Pure Moon]

[You led the creatures of Cloudmist Mountain in the Southern Frontier out of toil and disease. The people prospered, and cultivators rose in great numbers. Reward: Peach Blossom Divine Seed]

[You protected all the people of the Ligan Kingdom from the ravages of war with the Southern Qi Dynasty. Temples were built throughout the land, and tens of millions worshipped you. Reward: Nation-Guarding Mother Cauldron]

That year, the Heavenly Lord of the Age, who would spread the myriad Dao and become the forefather of Earthly Immortals, was still just a village boy tending cattle.

That year, the nameless Sword Immortal who would claim the top spot in a sword debate atop the snowy mountains and carve out a glorious age was still studying and learning to read in Qingping Village.

That year, the empress who would sit alone at the place of ascension and achieve the Dao through slaughter was still practicing her martial arts at the village entrance at dawn, convinced that her day would come.

A human in one life, a god in another. He watches the mortal world surge and the clouds gather and disperse. At first, Li Jingnian only wanted to avoid being forgotten and disappearing from the world. But unable to bear the suffering of all living things, he ended up forging a path that reached to the heavens.
