Beneath my feet stood the Xuanqing Righteous God, who stole my incense offerings; above me was the Nine Heavens Emperor, who devoured faith. When all the gods were keeping their followers captive— I lit the first incense stick and overturned this cannibalistic feast of incense offerings! ✨ [Highlights] ✅A desperate start! Clay statue in a wild temple vs. Righteous gods of the heavenly court, a lone god whose incense offerings were stolen launches a desperate counterattack. ✅Explosive political intrigue! Using the human world as a chessboard and believers as pawns, fighting their way out of the encirclement of the City God/Mountain God/River God. ✅A groundbreaking concept! Poisonous incense/cursed vows/polluted divine essence, subverting the traditional cultivation system ✅ Decisive and ruthless! Slay the false god and seize the golden body, shatter the Heavenly Court's Investiture of the Gods, and personally end the Dharma-ending Age💥 [Famous Scene Warning] ▶On the day I was smeared as an evil god, I lit the incense of 100,000 believers, and the raging karmic fire burned away the thirty-six grotto heavens. ▶When the purple-robed heavenly official came to confer the title, I tore up the edict: "You false gods, do you even deserve to let me be ranked among the immortals?" ▶When the Nine Heavens Gate collapsed, all the star lords in the sky trembled: "He is not a wild god at all... He is the ancestral demon of the incense path!" 🌌 [Dark Version of the Incense Law] "Those who worship me will be rewarded a hundredfold." "Those who wrong me will suffer the soul-devouring of incense." "If all living beings suffer, I will dismantle this divine path and rebuild the human world." 📖High-energy excerpt from Chapter 1 "The God-Slaying Feast": I dipped my finger in the golden blood seeping from the cracks in the statue and carved the divine edict on the pillar of the Xuanqing Temple. Suddenly, thousands of believers outside the temple collectively kowtowed, their vows transforming into crimson chains that dragged the lofty Xuanqing God down from his altar. "See clearly, this is the cannibalistic path of incense offerings." I crushed His golden body, laughing lightly amidst the rain of blood: "From this day forward, the divine positions in the mortal realm—" "are determined by me." 🌟Recommendation Reasons: 1️⃣An unconventional, comeback story, a class revolution within the divine system. 2️⃣A perfect fusion of folk sacrificial culture and dark cultivation. 3️⃣Every god-slaying battle is a breathtakingly planned scheme, offering maximum intellectual thrills. 🌙Tonight at midnight, click the link below to witness how a clay figure from a wild temple, stepping over the corpses of gods, is crowned saint amidst the smoke and incense!

    On that day, when dark clouds churned like ink and the world seemed to stand still, I was born. Instantly, an eerie atmosphere enveloped the surroundings. Nineteen bolts of lightning struck without warning around our courtyard, each seemingly tearing the heavens and earth apart. The deafening roars pierced our ears and left a deep sense of fear and doubt in everyone's hearts. A mysterious fortune teller came to the village. His eyes were cloudy yet held a profound depth. He glanced at me, then paled, his voice trembling as he declared that I was born a demon, destined for eighteen tribulations, each a matter of life and death—either others would perish, or I would return to the underworld. These words struck everyone like a hammer blow, and a cloud of fear instantly spread. However, no one could have foreseen that the gears of fate would turn so swiftly. On the very first day of my life, the fortune teller, holding me, had just stepped out of the village when, suddenly, his eyes rolled back, he foamed at the mouth, and died without a sound. It was as if an invisible hand was manipulating everything from the shadows, and this bizarre death became the first of my eighteen tribulations, quietly drawing back the mysterious and unpredictable prelude to my life.
