"A mayfly lives three hundred years; I would embrace the stars and die."
[Cyberpunk con artist, flippant and shameless, Demon King x Morally questionable, deadpan and adorable, aloof celestial lord]
Cong Tianyi is a celestial lord.
A shining star among the immortal sects, a young lord of a mortal kingdom, he spent his life traveling the land and saving countless people. Who could have guessed that after ascending, he would become a low-grade android in a cyber world?
"Age?" "Three hundred and eighteen."
"What path do you follow?" "I studied under the Path of Ruthlessness."
He couldn't understand why people kept thinking he was insane. He had only one goal: to ascend again.
As it happened, this place even had a transmigrator from a world of magic. The man who called himself the "Demon King" wore heavy makeup, had a broken horn atop his head, and had the same face as Cong Tianyi.
After a moment's thought, Cong Tianyi cupped his hands in greeting. "May I ask, senior, how does one cultivate the Cyber Dao?"
The Demon King smiled and gave him a copy of A Guide to Ascending Through the Cyber Dao. He took him out on the town, became his guardian, and then...
Used Cong Tianyi's identity to take out a loan from a loan shark.

Was No One actually a Demon King? No, he was a con artist.
He used tricks and deception to swindle and kill, loved watching naive saints sink into the mire, and could take out a predatory loan in the name of an android with scrambled memories without breaking a sweat.
This celestial was genuinely interesting: his black hair was like satin, blue light glimmered from his earrings, and he was serious and reserved, with an unconventional way of thinking. He spouted nonsense in front of a priceless lifelike body as if he really were the overpowered hero of a cultivation novel.
No One loved watching the spectacle.
Until Cong Tianyi entered the violent, treacherous "beast arena," the Simulacrum Cup.
Then the people of the Simler system witnessed the most brilliant sword light of their lives: martial arts, circuit runes, energy arrays, the flashes of ion cannons...
...No One couldn't laugh anymore.
This clueless celestial lord seemed to be the real deal.
And he was the real idiot, getting himself caught in his own con.

Later, for the sake of a future the celestial lord had promised him, a con artist who could neither use magic nor fly jumped from a space tower.
