From the Start, I Was a Mountain God in a Ruined Temple, Subduing the Supernatural in the City

An utterly ordinary programmer unexpectedly transmigrates to become the last mountain god of Huanglong Mountain. His divine power is nearly exhausted, his temple is in ruins, and the incense offerings have ceased. The mortals at the foot of the mountain, faced with the spreading “blight of desolation” and a surging tide of strange beasts, can no longer tell gods from calamities.

On one side is a perilous world of mountain gods, where faith must urgently be restored.

On the other is a mortal city where technology and the supernatural coexist, plagued by “anomalies.”

A demonic beast deeply infected by the “blight of desolation,” as large as a double-decker bus, rampages through the city and throws everything into chaos.

Inside the mountain god’s temple, Li Chen gazes at the withered tree that bears the previous mountain god’s tragic legacy. The mortals’ fear and hope surge toward him like a tide.

Wielding the mountain god’s axe, he slays demons and banishes evil, gathers divine power, and kindles the flame of faith amid despair.

As faith intertwines with technology, and ancient gods stand shoulder to shoulder with modern night-watchers, an ultimate battle over the fate of the world is about to unfold!

But when the destinies of two people who should have had nothing to do with each other converge, and the tendrils of evil reach into deeper layers of the mortal world, how will they join forces to dispel the layers of fog, uncover the true origins of the “blight of desolation,” and fight the ancient evil god lurking deep in history?
