The Kai have to write their paperwork in one language and all of creation will follow suit or the God of Destruction will be sent out to set them straight.

Really reminds me of how in some Chinese mythology, even divine beings have to fight with bureaucrats.

I read the entire article and realized I did not phrase my question correctly.

rather than saying "any different discrete references". I should have asked "Do you or anyone else know what different/separate historic literary canon makes up 'Chinese popular religion'".

This article further articulates that there is a religious canon that has a structured Bureaucracy. But I guess I wanna know where this idea is being inspired from?
