World's Balance (2)

The actual gods were bored.

Or if the Moderator of the Creators, Peach wanted to be ultra-specific—the gods in sector 69 of the Universe were bored without their latest plaything that came in the name of Li Yang. 

They called him a CEO and rooted for him, but in hindsight, he was more of something along their amusement than anything else. There was no love lost between the gods and man. If anything, the gods desire for him to succumb to their ploys were working out quite well.

Whoever chose him as the recipient of the Harem Cultivation System actually didn't do a terrible job. The amusement of seeing someone do the very thing they've sworn to hate and deny was a sadistic pleasure craved by the so-called god bored in their divinity and power.
