At Three, I Proved the Way to Godhood Through Incense Offerings

[The blurb is a work in progress. For now.]

In the end times of cultivation, spiritual energy is scarce in the human world. Ghosts, evil spirits, cultivators, and mortal kingdoms coexist.

Helian Yi is the son of a mortal prince who rules the north. His father dies when he is three, and he inherits the throne, only to be persecuted.

When he awakens again, he is a lonely ghost, following his family around.

He protects his mother and older sister along the way, drives off bandits, rescues villages, and suppresses monsters and evil spirits. He also begins to receive offerings of incense from the people.

He transforms from a lonely ghost into a local god.

But the road ahead grows increasingly treacherous. Everyone says he is an evil god in the making, undeserving of offerings and unfit to become a deity. They all want to eliminate him as an aberration and devour his soul and divine power.

Along the way, Helian Yi sees cultivators stripped of their spiritual roots and left to fend for themselves. He sees isolated cities abandoned by the "gods" and ruled by evil spirits. He sees the gods fly into a rage and bring natural disasters upon the human world...

Helian Yi's round, dark eyes brim with indignation and defiance.

If people like them can become gods, why can't he?

They call him an evil god, but when he looks at these "gods" and cultivators, they're the ones practicing crooked and wicked ways!

He will carry the offerings of all living beings and climb step by step to the highest peak.

Posting a blurb first. If this gets over a hundred pre-subscribers, I'll write it as my next book!
