After dying suddenly from overwork, Lin Yan opened his eyes and nearly choked to death on a mouthful of dirt.
He had transmigrated into the most miserable Demon King in another world. His people survived on dirt, the previous Demon King had starved to death, and the Holy Light Empire hunted them down every day.
Even more absurdly, he discovered that humans and demons were actually one and the same people, torn apart by someone a thousand years ago with lies that drove them to slaughter each other.
And that lofty angel? Just a harvesting machine sent by a higher-dimensional civilization, feeding on faith to recharge itself.
Fortunately, deep underground, he found a spatial rift leading to Blue Star.
On the other side lay the place he had longed for with all his heart: Xia.
"Fatherland, I’ve brought a whole bunch of dirt-eating demons to seek refuge! Please take us in! Feed us! Protect us!"
And so came instant noodles, weapons, construction crews, and sky-spanning aerospace carriers.
When Truth missiles tore the angels’ wings apart, when electromagnetic cannons blasted through the gods’ shields, when the faith of the entire world crumbled during a livestream...
Lin Yan stood amid the ruins and flipped off the thing calling itself a god.
"Screw you."
This is a fiery, feel-good tale about a dirt-eating Demon King getting the nation on his side, leading the demons to a life of luxury, dishing out face-slapping, taking on false gods, and founding a republic.
There’s nothing a meal of braised pork can’t solve.
And if there is, have two.
[Comedy + fiery action + pledging allegiance to the nation + feel-good wish fulfillment + multiple heroines]
