Becoming a God Across Dimensions

Qi Ran had known since childhood that his world was being watched by beings from a higher dimension, a group who called themselves "the Audience."

The Audience controlled and observed everything, as omnipotent as gods, and Qi Ran could hear their voices:

"It's the hottest 3D live-action anime right now, and they only update once a week?!"

"I checked next week's preview. I think the production team is about to drop something huge."

"Spoiler alert: every character with a model number above ten million will bite the dust in the next episode."

Character 10,000,001, the expendable who was about to bite the dust next episode, Qi Ran: "I don't want to die. I want to live." (serious face)

How could he survive at the hands of the Audience? He had to become their most beloved creation, so they would love him, protect him, and never get enough of him!

In the real world, the production team: "Hurry, get ready for the death scene for [Number 10,000,001]. Once he dies, he'll become the Ghost King, the most powerful final boss later on! ... What do you mean the death scene failed? The big shot isn't following the script!? ... The Audience are protesting outside the company with knives?!"

Qi Ran fans, swarming everywhere: "Ahhhhh, I love God Qi! Ahhhhh! God Qi is peerless! You damn production team, don't you dare touch a single hair on God Qi's head!"
