Imagine a universe where godhood isn't a matter of faith, but a reachable goal for anyone. In Flying Watermelon's *The People's God: Sacrificing Trillions to Ascend*, we enter this very reality through the eyes of Han Wu. His early life is marked by tragedy: the disappearance of his parents, a loving grandfather who becomes his sole guardian, and then, the cruelest blow of all, a weak "core race"—the locusts—bestowed upon him at adulthood. Overwhelmed by loss and societal scorn, Han Wu's story seems destined for a tragic end. But fate, it seems, has other plans. A soul from our own modern world, carrying the weight of unknown origins, awakens within Han Wu's broken body. This new Han Wu inherits a world brimming with infinite possibilities and dangers. He discovers a vast tapestry of civilizations, some peaceful paradises, others nightmarish hellscapes, populated by goblins, orcs, angels, demons, and countless other beings. Driven by the departed grandfather's wishes and fueled by a burning desire to uncover the truth behind his predecessor's missing parents, Han Wu embarks on a relentless journey of self-improvement. He will stop at nothing to grow stronger, even if it means exploiting the myriad civilizations around him, all while commanding his swarm of locusts. Can he rise above his cursed fate and become a protector, a force to be reckoned with in this god-building universe? Dive into *The People's God* and witness the ascent.
