Cultivation: Reborn as a Cannon Fodder? I'm Still the Chosen One's Foil

[Cultivation novel with the top as the POV character!!!] A transmigrated attack who is the foil to a Long Aotian protagonist × a half-demon (female insect) partner; cultivation and leveling up, changing the fate of a cannon-fodder character, and a male lead who grows over time. Both leads are imperfect and aren't wholly good and pure. The golden finger is extremely powerful, so please read the warnings at your own discretion. (The Hei Yuan Star arc takes place in an insectoid world.)

After enduring countless betrayals and watching death become commonplace in the apocalypse, Qiu Wutong, formerly the highest-ranking leader of a human base and now one of the Three Great Zombie Kings, blows himself up after gathering all the zombies under his control.

With a new life, the former Zombie King Qiu Wutong transmigrates into the Qiu family of the Immortal Fate Continent in the cultivation world.

He becomes the youngest son of the Qiu family head. Though he was born with a baleful aura and the cultivators of Tianfeng City consider him ill-omened, he is still doted on by everyone in the Qiu family.

Qiu Wutong has a mutated lightning spirit root. His baleful aura should have made cultivation difficult, but he managed to draw qi into his body at the age of five. After that, his cultivation progressed as if he had cheat codes. By twenty, he had formed a golden core and become the youngest golden-core cultivator in the Immortal Fate Continent.

When Qiu Wutong was born, Daoist Tianjizi once foretold his fate: at twenty, the boy would face a great calamity. If he couldn't overcome it, he would die, and his only chance of survival lay in the Peach Blossom Secret Realm.

So, just after turning twenty and forming his golden core, Qiu Wutong hurried into the secret realm. Near death inside, he activated a teleportation array and was sent to the Hei Yuan Star Region.

On the Hei Yuan Star Region, Qiu Wutong awakened his memories of his previous life. What's more, when he returned to the Immortal Fate Continent, he obtained a book of destiny. In the book, he was the cannon-fodder foil to the Long Aotian protagonist of a wish-fulfillment novel, and both he and the Qiu family met a miserable end!

And the half-demon female insect he brought back was not only meant to be a tool-like cultivation partner, but was destined to die young?

Qiu Wutong says: How could he stand for that? He'll defy fate anyway...
