   The first book features a protagonist who is an evil god, but he denies it, is incredibly powerful, and keeps it a secret. The second book features a protagonist who is a good person, unaware that he is an evil god, but becomes the villain for some reason. Both are highly recommended!

   I love this ensemble piece. The protagonist initially transmigrates into the body of an evil god, but he possesses a heart dedicated to protecting all living beings. He doesn't act alone; everyone is safeguarding their homeland, maintaining order and stability alongside their god, and providing believers with a peaceful life. "A thousand sails pass by the sunken ship, ten thousand trees bloom before the withered tree." A god is not one who sits in a temple, receiving offerings from mortals and listening to empty prayers. Rather, he provides people with a foundation for life and the order for the world's continuation.
