Gods? I've Got Quite a Few Behind Me

[Synopsis]

Cheng Yao had struggled to survive since childhood and was always trying to build a better life for herself. After several attempts to turn things around nearly cost her life, she gave up and decided to try a different path: the supernatural.

She started praying to gods, but not the ones everyone else worshipped. Instead, she sought out those no one offered incense to.

She believed the fewer believers a god had, the more time that god would have to hear each believer's wish. Targeted poverty relief!

So she began collecting unwanted, broken statues of gods from all sorts of places and setting them up at home.

Along the way, a well-meaning passerby warned her not to worship just any god. Some were evil gods occupying the shells of divine statues!

Cheng Yao replied, "Who cares if they're evil or righteous? Any god who can make me rich is a good god!"

But things didn't go as she wished.

Though the strange statues of gods at home kept piling up, she didn't get rich, and she didn't even have any more dreams than usual.

Then one day, penniless as ever, she rummaged through a temple's rubbish heap and brought home a few half-burned incense sticks.

When the incense was lit and its wisps of smoke drifted through the air,

Cheng Yao transmigrated, along with all the various statues of gods she'd collected, to another world filled with false gods and evil spirits.

In this new world, anyone without the protection of a god would find it impossible to take a single step.

But as Cheng Yao looked at the mountain of divine statues that had crossed over with her, their once dust-covered bodies gradually began to shine.

She heard countless voices echo in her heart:

"My believer, speak your wish."

-

Cheng Yao never thought she'd actually get to live the life she'd once dreamed of.

What's it like to live in a world full of danger, where evil spirits might slaughter you on a whim, knowing that dozens of gods have your back?

Cheng Yao: Thanks for asking. It's awesome.

On a quiet, peaceful afternoon, the only human and the gods sat together.

"Why did you choose that name for yourself?"

Cheng Yao: "Because I want to become the sun."

"Oh, what a wonderful dream. Do you want to bring light and warmth to people? What a kind child..."

Cheng Yao: "No, they said the sun releases a huge amount of energy when it explodes. I want to blow up the whole world."

The gods: "..."
