An Octopus from the Start? The Fishing Village Worships Me as a God

[Unconventional Worship-and-Faith Cultivation + Nonhuman Protagonist + Beast Evolution + Investigators Driven Mad + Building a Mutant Army + Cthulhu]

This is a world filled with the supernatural and the bizarre.

Gods enslave humans, horrors feed on humans, and supernatural beings see people as little more than ants, free to kill or spare them as they please.

After transmigrating, Zhang Tianyu became an octopus in a small fishing village, an aberration in the eyes of the church.

He was weak and could be wiped out by the church at any moment.

But he discovered that he could gain faith points from humans, use them to grow stronger and unlock divine skills, and even become a true god!

All it took was for humans to offer him something: anything from a simple word of thanks to an entire soul.

From then on, Zhang Tianyu embarked on an aberrant path to godhood, evolving his body, gaining divine authority, and building an army of followers.

A supernatural investigator who had delved too deep and eventually gone mad muttered, “I saw it with my own eyes. The villagers turned into monsters like octopuses!”

The priest cried, “Oh, my Lord Haotian! Save me! What kind of evil god is this octopus?”

A fisherman stretched out a tentacle covered in suckers. “How dare you show disrespect to the great God Tianyu!”

“Look! When did an island appear out at sea?”

“Good heavens! That’s not an island, it’s the top of an evil god’s head!”

“Ah, I hear it! The evil god’s whispers… I think I’m going insane!”

And what Zhang Tianyu was “whispering” was:

“So you’re Haotian? You’re not fit to hold the position of god. Go get some grassroots experience. I’ll take over this world!”
