------
Chaoyang had lived an unremarkable life for over twenty years, but then a sudden "awakening" disrupted his life—he awoke to become a demon from legend, sustained by wishing power.
The bad news was that wishing power was hard to come by in this world.
The good news was that he managed to open a gateway to another world, teeming with wishing power, just before starving to death.
The bad news was that most of the wishing power already had owners.
The good news was that no one understood making wishes better than he did.
At first, Chaoyang simply responded to prayers to survive, but as he grew in strength, he turned it into an industry.
And the place where many wishes could be fulfilled came to be known as "Paradise".

Mystery Paradise: Wishing Power Demon

People mostly believe that divinities are born from the collective prayers of humanity, a concrete response to their collective will—that is, prayer comes first, then the gods. Be it the Goddess of Mercy or the Storm God, these are deities created under the cognition of humans.


In contrast to this are the Primordial Gods.


Their appearance may date back to times well before humanity, even before this world existed; they are scattered throughout the universe or maybe dwelling in another plane. Primordial Gods do not need followers to exist, but if they want to influence this world, they must rely on the power of the faithful. Thus, they seduce people to become their worshippers, thereby penetrating the barriers of this world.


So the logic of Primordial Gods is completely reversed, becoming 'gods first, then prayer'—a phenomenon that defies conventional wisdom.
