Everyone Takes Advice and Imitates Celebrities, but You Start by Playing a God?

Lin Nan was born with a stern face, an intimidating gaze, and an imposing presence.

According to ancient texts, this is the “countenance of an immortal, the majesty of an emperor.”

One day, a classmate suggested that Lin Nan seek advice from online users, since the “immortal guides the way” trend was popular on the internet. People were imitating all kinds of famous figures, and some were even mimicking Xiao Wu operating a sewing machine. Perhaps he could find a way forward that way.

Lin Nan had always taken advice, so he started livestreaming that very day.

[New streamer here. Seeking guidance from the immortals.]

“Streamer, you have an extraordinary air about you, and you’re imposing without even trying. Why not try playing a divine lord?”

“Good idea. You have an unusual face. Go buy a kasaya, dress up as the Buddha, and sit in front of the camera tapping a wooden fish.”

Taking the viewers’ advice, Lin Nan bought props and costumes, put on makeup, and studied myths and folk traditions. In the end, he decided to portray the Thunder Department’s principal deity, the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Thunderclap Universalizing Heavenly Worthy!

Once everything was ready, Lin Nan wore Nine-Light Shoes and a celestial official’s robe, fastened a belt of lightning around his waist, and held a male-and-female whip. He looked as if he had truly become a god as he sat before the camera, drawing countless viewers who teased him and urged him to show them what he could do.

“By my command, let heaven and earth work their wonders.”

“Thunder God, heed my order!”

Then Lin Nan gave a low shout, formed a hand seal with his left hand, and pointed to the sky with his right. A deafening clap of thunder boomed, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, and dark clouds surged in!

In an instant, all the viewers were stunned. “Streamer, are you for real?”
