This is a land temple that is about to collapse.
Trapped in the clay statue is a modern social animal who died suddenly while working overtime. A flash flood breaks out outside the temple, and the villagers are preparing to sacrifice human beings to Hebo. There is zero incense in the temple, zero divine power, and the system has just been activated.
There is no real God in this world. Only God is believed in. Cognition is divinity, incense is life - the people believe that the river god controls water, so he can really cause floods; the people believe that the tiger cannibalizes people, so he demands virgins every year. The gods of the old days used fear to harvest believers, used disasters to create demand, and turned the world into a breeding ground.
And the young man trapped in the mud decided to take an unprecedented path: relying not on fear, but on shelter. Don't force people to kneel, block them for them.
From a cracked clay sculpture to a true god in the world that all people worship. From the moldy home of a blind old lady to the sheltering Kingdom of God covering Kyushu. He controlled floods, drove away epidemics, opened up wasteland, and guarded borders. With each clumsy but practical deed, he proved that gods can not scare people.
But the road to asylum is also the most dangerous road. People began to say that "The God of Patron is omniscient and omnipotent" - then his humanity began to fade, and his emotions and desires were gradually smoothed away by the expectation of a "perfect god". He once desperately wanted to be believed, but later he desperately didn't want to be believed like that.
And at the end of the old god system, deep in the ruins where the ancient gods fell, a truth that had been concealed for three thousand years was waiting for him: God did not create man, but man created god. Then he was imprisoned for generations by the god he created.
