“What? I can get stronger just by offering incense?”
Lu Chen finds himself transported to a world where everyone worships deities. By offering incense, one can communicate with the gods and receive their blessings.
However, the masses flock to worship the most popular deities, causing these incense-rich gods to be so flooded with offerings that they take the incense but refuse to do anything in return!
Lu Chen: “If that’s the case, I’d rather go all in on a few unpopular gods with little incense and warm up their cold altars!”
So, while others worship the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming, Lu Chen goes straight to worshipping the Sovereign God of Wealth!
Lu Chen: “Lord Sovereign God of Wealth, You are the Emperor of Wealth, the most honored among all wealth gods. The rest of them have eyes but fail to see it.”
Sovereign God of Wealth: “Young friend, you truly understand me! I’ve been down and out with little incense for years, already ready to give up. You’ve reignited my confidence. Rest assured, I will surely ensure your path to prosperity.”
Lu Chen (beaming): “Thank you, Lord Sovereign of Wealth, for your protection!”
…
While others worship the God of Longevity, Lu Chen goes straight to worshipping King Yama!
King Yama: “Kid, are you sure you’re worshipping the right god? I am the King of Hell. Don’t you find me unlucky?”
Lu Chen: “Not at all! Your Majesty and I hit it off right away. How about I take you as my sworn father?”
King Yama (tearing up): “Wuwuwu, I’m so moved. You’re the first person to worship me every single day. From now on, you’re my good son!”
Lu Chen: “Thank you, sworn father! So, about my lifespan…”
King Yama (with a grand wave of his hand): “How dare they! Let’s see which Judge dares to lay a hand on you. I’ll personally snap his writing brush in half.”
Lu Chen: “Thank you, sworn father, for your mercy!”
…
Watching Lu Chen’s lifespan bar shoot straight to the heavens, the God of Longevity is utterly dumbfounded: “Wait… is this… is this right?”
