Yesterday, while Ning An was sound asleep.
On the internet, the name of Changchun Temple went viral all across the country.
First, it was the various ghostly yet humorous video creators in livestreams. Their modified videos blew up the internet.
Next came the official announcement.
[Emergency Announcement!]
[Today, the 913 child trafficking case was successfully solved in our city, the suspects have all been arrested, justice prevails as the net closes in!]
[Based on the suspects' confessions, we successfully dismantled three crime dens and rescued 23 abducted children. Below are photos of the children, we ask the online community to help share them.]
...
[In this operation, thanks to the help of a passionate netizen, the arrest was incredibly smooth.]
[Therefore, after approval from relevant departments, we award this passionate citizen with the first prize for enthusiastic assistance along with a cash reward of 50,000!]
[Announcement by the Z City People's Government on April 5th!]
Very soon, this notice from Z City topped the trending searches on major platforms.
Many netizens, upon hearing that traffickers were caught, instantly got excited.
"Great, great, well done catching such beasts, even the wooden horse punishment is too kind!"
"Why is it Z City again? Wasn't it last time that the murderer was caught there too?"
"Who is this passionate citizen? Able to expose a long-hidden trafficker, it must be a story-filled time."
The seasoned fans of Changchun Temple saw this and directly stepped in to support Ning An.
"Friends above, you already mentioned Z City, isn't it obvious? Of course, it's our Brother Sect Leader!"
"Hey, my brother stood up for our Evil God Cult, who said an evil god must harm humanity, a kind evil god is also a righteous god."
"And about that murderer before, although it seems unrelated to our brother, it indirectly proves the incense of Brother Sect Leader's place is potent."
"Stop it, speaking of academic success and eventually pursuing a Ph.D., I just want to laugh."
...
Netizens attracted by the fame listened to a bunch of self-proclaimed disciples of Evil God Cult spewing words,
and they were utterly baffled.
These guys, what on earth are they babbling about?
The person assisting the police in catching traffickers is a young little Daoist?
According to the typical plot, it should be an upright, retired yet experienced veteran detective!
Has the world gone mad?
Suddenly, someone raised doubts:
"I'm a journalist, this Shi Wenqiang was a nationally sensational wanted criminal back then. I don't know how many top cops were involved, but none managed to capture him."
"You're telling me, a young man, a Daoist nonetheless, took down such scum?"
After a few seconds of silence, someone posted a screenshot.
"During the livestream just now, I wanted to show it to a friend, so I took a screenshot, look."
"Daoist, incense, livestream, big brother, little brother, system fellow, wow, the elements are quite mixed, let me process this."
"I didn't get it, saw only two people competing in a PK battle, what's it got to do with catching criminals?"
An Evil God Cultist among the creators acted mysteriously.
"Those with affinity need not pay, those without it can't exchange it even for a fortune!"
"If you want to know the details, come to my account homepage, there's the most comprehensive video here."
"Dad, I want to watch."
"Message me, and you can watch."
With this, countless netizens flocked directly to his homepage.
Little did they know, what they saw would shock them!
Over-the-top madness opened the door to more madness, this madness went home!
"Wow, this Changchun Temple is too freaky!"
"I can't, I'm suddenly feeling impressive and a bit uncanny too, these wanted criminals had nothing happen for years, but as soon as they meet Changchun Temple, it's either military intervention or police action, seriously?"
"What is this? A single word from them caused two-tenths of the incense offerings in the sky to cease, in ancient times, even the emperor couldn't do that."
"Awesome, I also want to follow Daoist Ning, I too want to become a proud Evil God Cultist!"
Ning An had just read about the general sequence of events when another official document was issued.
[Announcement!]
[Due to the extremely negative impact of the Shi Wenqiang case, it has been specially approved by the Supreme Court that today he was executed by firing squad, for humanitarian reasons, the execution site was selected as the head.]
[Also, we thank the online community for their enthusiastic promotion, now one abducted child has been reunited with his father yesterday, the following photo is…]

Looking at the image released by the officials, many of the livestream viewers had their minds freeze instantly.
"This... isn't this Old Zhao who was linked with Little Daoist yesterday?"
Not only him, but all the audience who witnessed the whole event in the livestream were even more puzzled.
The next moment, the barrage in the livestream exploded.
"Replay, replay again, yesterday Brother Lao Tuo said his head hurts, burned incense and wished to relieve the pain quickly."
"Immediately after, it was the anxious father searching for his son, Old Zhao, who wished to quickly find his son and hoped the trafficker would die soon and be reborn, right?"
"Now the result, Brother Lao Tuo: Trafficker executed by a shot to the head. Old Zhao: Found his child, the trafficker was done the next day!"
"Besides, the streamer said yesterday that Old Zhao and his son reunited precisely yesterday, ugh! Think, ponder carefully..."
With such a replay, many instantly realized the situation.
Wish for the headache to stop, execution.
Wish to meet the son, trafficker caught, leading to the child being found.
Is there a problem?
The logic chain is complete, no issues at all!
Forget placing it in the mysterious Changchun Temple, even in usual circumstances, such coincidences are implausible!
All the causes and effects formed a perfect loop at this moment.
"This... the founder is quite effective, huh, so is it still possible for me to apprentice now?"
"Bah, you bald programmer, even the monk temple would find you undesirable, let alone a fairy-like Daoist Temple, climb away!"
"Bullseye! I originally thought the Daoist's livestream connection was merely trying to earn some incense money, who would've thought, folks, the founder is truly impressive!"
"Founder: Two wishes? Annoying, just combine them into one and done."
"Changchun Temple strikes, not a soul escapes! No wonder it's the Evil God Temple, specializing in eight-character life charts!"
The audience in the livestream, watching the latest official announcement, went wild directly in the livestream.
They have seen plenty of Taoist immortals, but never such a righteous yet wicked founder before!
"Just say whether Brother Lao Tuo's wish was fulfilled! Headache, hoping the head won't hurt, the faster the better, hey, just say whether the bullet's speed is fast or not, he'll never have a headache again in this life."
"No wonder Little Daoist previously advised a bit, turns out the founder has quite the temper too, hahaha."
"Founder: Oh, the foolproof Divine Invitation Incense? So what, worshipping me through the screen, being disrespectful, hey, meet your demise!"
"No wonder it's a peerless founder, this imagination is beyond ordinary reach! If I had this mind, would I need to slave away as a working stiff?"
