Ascending to Godhood from a Water Monkey

Choice matters more than effort. While martial artists fight bloody battles over terrestrial treasures, the divine flora of the deep waters remains ignored by all. Transmigrated into the body of a fisherman, Liang Qu obtains the Cauldron of the Marshes and refines the talent of the Water Monkey. With the power to command aquatic beasts, he harvests resources and ascends step by step toward the pinnacle of power. His evolution progresses from Water Monkey to Marsh Marmoset, then to Water King Ape, and finally to Lord of the Huai Vortex. From that moment on, the vast expanse of waves and marshes falls under his sole dominion. As floodwaters rage, people kneel in prayer and offer sacrifices, begging the Water God for protection. Yet amidst the devotion, one plea stands out: please stop sacrificing maidens to him, for he truly is not a water deity.
