I Became a God by Falling in Love

"Child of Ten Thousand Demons, live as long as the heavens."

Li Tanghua had just transmigrated into a cultivation novel as the male lead's mother, who dies young, when someone grabbed her head and made her chant this over-the-top slogan.

Before she could figure out who the male lead's father was, the System regretfully informed her that she'd transmigrated into the book three thousand years too early, and the timing couldn't be changed.

Li Tanghua stared speechlessly at the sky.

The person behind her, forcing her to bow her head and kowtow, was the female lead's ancestor, a primordial succubus.

The little boy kneeling devoutly beside her, praying earnestly to a statue, was the future Boundless Dao Venerable, who would found the world's first immortal sect a thousand years later.

The little girl clinging to her arm, trembling all over, would become the sinister Earth Mother Wraith who nearly wiped out the protagonist's entire group in the novel...

Behind Li Tanghua stood the Primordial Ruins Eye. The tiles beneath her feet concealed three thousand mortal realms, and the ancestors of all kinds of golden-fingered villains had gathered in one place.

Three thousand years before the novel began, there was no god who spoke. The only object of worship was a statue bearing the name "Child of Ten Thousand Demons."

And anyone fortunate enough to see this statue could make one wish and receive its blessing.

System: Host, hurry and make a wish. Find the male lead's father.

Li Tanghua smiled faintly. "The male lead's father hasn't even been born yet, has he?"

System: ...

She'd missed her chance to buy a house or gold. Was she going to miss the cultivation world's golden age of dream-making, too?

So she made a wish that shook heaven and earth:

To fall in love with the Child of Ten Thousand Demons.

*

The System thought Li Tanghua had gone mad. The perfect opportunity to build a career and secure a bright future had come along, and all she wanted was romance!

Later, he saw her visit the Demon Child's statue every few days, weeping bitterly as she complained. One day, she cried that her mortal body was too weak. The next, a spiritual spring appeared in front of her house, reflecting the moon, to cleanse and temper her body...

A mansion, a mountain, magical artifacts, secret manuals, elixirs, three levels of cultivation a day: she could cry for anything and get it. She could even cry and plead on behalf of other people, and she casually recruited a whole group of future powerhouses as her underlings.

One day, the System saw a divine young man with the same face as the statue climb out of the Host's window. The tear tracks at the corners of her eyes had not yet dried, sweat had dampened her love-tangled hair, and a divine sigil had formed between her brows.

The System was amazed. So the Host's true wish was to become the first god in the world. To achieve that, she had pretended to give herself to the Child of Ten Thousand Demons. What great wisdom! What great ambition!

Li Tanghua: ...

Could it be that, from the very start, she had simply been overcome by lust and wanted to have a romance with the handsome, ghostly beautiful Child of Ten Thousand Demons?

Who could have guessed that she'd end up becoming a god while dating?

[Bonus Scene]

Zhaoshuo was the youngest son of the Heavenly Dao and the ancestor of all demons, the primordial chaos who bestowed divine blessings on behalf of the Heavenly Dao.

When granting blessings to those who made wishes, he had three rules:

No blessing for those whose words and hearts did not match.

No blessing for those whose ambitions were wildly beyond their abilities.

No blessing for those who were not fated to receive one.

His requirements were so strict that in a hundred years, Zhaoshuo granted only a handful of divine blessings. That was, until Li Tanghua appeared...

She said she loved him, but worried he'd get too hot and thoughtfully planned to strip the clothes off his statue to help him cool down (her words matched her heart ✓).

She only wanted to date him (not an unreasonable wish ✓).

Three thousand years later, the two of them unexpectedly had a child together (they were fated to be together ✓).

Zhaoshuo went to grant her wish that very day. Then this inexperienced ancestor of all demons was left with a neck covered in kiss marks, questioning his entire existence for the first time...
