From Stowaway to Savior

What is it like to transmigrate into a primitive mythological age where a host of "gods" are rising and the rules have yet to be set?

The answer: It's a golden age.

Whether you're good at fighting, taking hits, developing things, healing, or even spinning a good yarn, you can earn a divine name and followers. The basic conditions are so poor and living beings ask so little of life: all they want is to stay alive.

If you can help them survive, they'll follow you and believe in you.

...She may not be able to build infrastructure or spread the word to pacify the world, nor sweep across the six realms and bring all under heaven to heel. But that's fine. A bottom-of-the-class middle schooler can still dominate a kindergarten playground.

Even better, she managed to trick two powerful allies into sharing their lands and people with her. So even after the System realized it had come to the wrong era and ran off with its tail between its legs, Li Chanjuan still refused to give up hope: without fans, she could stay alive through name recognition and believers!

Just as Li Chanjuan gave up her once-glittering dream of stardom to build her reputation and faith value, and got down to earth as a village cadre working to alleviate poverty, crack! An outer god invaded... The world was done for.

Primitive civilization fell, the native spirits died in battle and returned to the origin, and the world's foundation was gravely damaged... The World Tree foresaw their defeat and the fate of becoming a colony.

At the final moment, the World Tree decided to risk everything for a chance at survival.

The spirit of the World Tree compressed all the "memories" it had engraved into a Wisdom Fruit, asked Li Chanjuan to swallow it, and begged her to escape with "the world's memories"...

As an outsider who could not be anchored by the laws, Li Chanjuan instead became their last hope.

To fulfill her dear friend's request, avenge her sisters, repay the primordial world for accepting her, escape the pursuit of the "false" Creator God, and stand openly and proudly in the sunlight... Completing the World Tree's request and rekindling its memories seemed to be the only way forward?

#My whole team is dead, and you're asking me, a level 20 newbie, to solo a level 100 final boss? Does that make sense, sis??#

#Sis, here's a secret: I'm an "invader" too, actually#

The central premise came from the "War of the Demon Gods." It's fine if you haven't heard of it. In short, a group of extraordinary beings, born of nature, carved out territory and fought for dominance. Because they were powerful, the intelligent creatures in their lands revered them as gods. They had beautiful forms, but faith mattered to both gods and followers, and the two-way spiritual pollution means the story incorporates some Lovecraftian concepts.

No content warnings. If I can write it, I don't consider it a problem, and I support a diversity of stories.

Well, if anything might be a trigger, it's that before disaster struck, the World Tree once proposed marriage to the heroine. But it had nothing to do with romance, it was simply asking her to become its "partner."

The male lead is a golden carp. Their relationship is the sort that grows through sharing hardships and supporting each other.
