You Were Supposed to Shelter Your Believers, So How Did You Become an Evil God?

[Slow Burn + Ensemble Cast] After an accident, Yang Ming transmigrated into a bizarre world where no true gods remained and false gods ran rampant. Monsters roamed this world, ghosts preyed on people, evil arts were rife throughout the land, and there were no immortal mountains or divine Buddhas. Demons and monsters ran wild, ghosts wreaked havoc, and heretical cultists refined pills using human flesh. Everyone lived in fear. Yang Ming transmigrated into this dangerous world as a willow tree worshipped by a small mountain village. His cultivation was weak, and he stood alone against the odds. Fortunately, he was bound to a belief-powered System that let him become stronger as long as he gathered enough faith. Cultivation, techniques, immortal artifacts, even immortal mansions and divine godhood. As long as faith flourished, all of it was within reach.
