The story must begin from the beginning…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A very long time ago…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Okay, nobody wants to hear a story as long as an old woman’s bound feet—here’s what actually happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday, Sunday, Yang Yi prepared her beachcombing kit: sun protection gear, a small shovel, a small bucket—she loved watching beachcombing livestreams and would go to the shore to collect shells, crabs, octopuses, then cook them up; this was one of the main reasons she, an inlander, had moved to this coastal town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was naturally introverted and felt somewhat socially anxious, so she deliberately chose a lonely stretch of seaside rocks and quietly pried open hand-shaped conchs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She adored eating them—just boiled in plain water, they were incredibly fresh and sweet, and prying them apart was deeply relaxing; she simply couldn’t stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d filled nearly half a bucket when suddenly, distant chaos erupted, accompanied by piercing screams; she looked up:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh my! A mountain slowly rose from the horizon, and a colossal octopus monster emerged from the sea—just one glance was enough to trigger megalophobia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the monster’s inexplicable power, the sea boiled like water, waves towering several stories high crashed toward the beach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tourists froze in terror, running like headless flies. But how could bare feet outrun surging waves? One wave surged forward, sweeping people away like ants, tossing them sideways, then dragging them back into the ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could she just stand by? Could she bear to do nothing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wrapped herself tightly and flew toward the monster—oh, I forgot to mention: she had superpowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after driving the inexplicable monster back into the deep sea did she realize how reckless she’d been.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing in the sky looking down, tourists pointed their phones at her, snapping photo after photo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought: Oh no, I’m done. Her three-year secret was exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tomorrow—or maybe in one or two hours, perhaps even now—she’d already be top of every internet trending list, the number one influencer on Douyin and Kuaishou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For three years she’d hidden her identity, terrified someone would discover her powers, living in constant fear—and now, fame had struck. It was over!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would she be locked in a lab as a test subject? Or imprisoned for life in a dark room? The future was pitch black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Yi leaned beside a cloud, staring blankly; even thick fog couldn’t hide the cold emptiness in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, her eyes lit up. She examined her gear: yes, her mask was intact! Her sun hat was huge! Her sun-protective suit was fully sealed… Surely… no one could recognize her…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pulled out her phone and searched for “Haibei City sea monster incident”—every video showed her as only a tiny, blurry dot; not even her face was visible, just a vague human shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phew—now she was relieved!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shot straight up, using the fog to sneak back to her rental apartment, daring not to retrieve even her small shovel or the nearly half-bucket of prised conchs—those were nearly half a bucket! Just thinking about it broke her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she’d rejoiced too soon—and vastly underestimated the speed and capability of the state apparatus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While she napped, two men and women, friendly in demeanor but radiating solemn authority, knocked on the peeling iron door of her rental apartment and invited her to join the Xia Nation’s Awakening Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Annual salary of one million, five social insurances and one housing fund, flexible working hours, weekends off, holiday benefits, overtime pay at two to three times the rate, and most importantly—a civil service position!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My god, does such a gift just fall into your lap?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This package was infinitely better than her current job—a private company accountant—whose stingy boss provided only three insurances and no housing fund! What was she waiting for? Why not quit and jump ship right now?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So on her first day of work, she, Yang Yi—according to rumors, the most powerful awakened individual discovered so far—represented Xia Nation at the United Nations for the first-ever Global Awakening Conference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was why she sat here.\u003C\u002Fp>",847,"2026-06-20T07:52:47.920Z","Qwen3-Next 80B","3ad8ec35633b6bfd3ec7a8b5171ed678b630cee44c974e044dc2cbf03e41f543","after-becoming-a-god-among-humans-i-just-want-to-chapter-2",null,246,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-becoming-a-god-among-humans-i-just-want-to-cover.jpg"]
