The Heavenly Master Childhood Friend of the Top-Tier Star Is Back

The nameless Ghost Realm overlaps with reality. Once its gates open and evil ghosts pour into the human world, the apocalypse will descend, leaving the living dead and the land ravaged. As the only Celestial Master capable of sealing the Ghost Gate, Qi Yue sacrificed himself to close it. The only thing he couldn't bear to leave behind was his sweet, adorable childhood friend. His dying wish was for the Celestial Masters Association to take good care of his childhood friend. His last wisp of consciousness lingered for a long time, and he learned that his world was actually a book. His childhood friend was a villainous antagonist who, unable to win the protagonist's love, turned love into hate, committed every manner of evil, and met a tragic end. As for Qi Yue, he was a minor character who died young after supplying the protagonist with resources and connections. After Qi Yue's sacrifice, the protagonist inherited his Daoist techniques and became the greatest Celestial Master in the world. Countless wealthy patrons came bearing money, desperate to win him over. One of the protagonist's lovers secretly broke a hole in the Ghost Gate's seal in an attempt to resurrect a relative. Countless evil ghosts descended upon the human world, leaving the living dead and the land ravaged. After a bloody battle, the protagonist managed to repair the seal, becoming a hero who saved humanity. He was elevated to the status of a god, gaining both fame and fortune, and went on to live a debauched, shameless life with his many lovers and confidants, both men and women. The world knew only the protagonist, and not Qi Yue. Meanwhile, his childhood friend was framed for breaking a hole in the Ghost Gate's seal and unleashing the disaster. His reputation ruined, he eventually clutched the only childhood photo of the two of them and leaped to his death from a building. Qi Yue's resentment surged, turning him into an evil ghost. Years later, he returned to the human world. He would protect his darling himself. Gu Yunshuang is a top-tier star online, notorious enough to be hated by everyone. Nine out of ten of his fans are haters, and the tenth is a mindless fan who only cares about his looks. He's always been aloof and cold, never giving anyone the time of day. Even when scandals about his diva behavior, terrible acting, and plastic surgery flood the internet, no matter how vicious the insults get, nothing can faze him. The only person who gets even a hint of warmth from him is Xue Tinghe, a Celestial Master who's become famous lately. Gu Yunshuang explains that it's only because Xue Tinghe looks a little like his childhood friend. But nobody believes him. Everyone thinks Gu Yunshuang is hopelessly in love with Xue Tinghe, shamelessly stalking and sexually harassing him like some disgusting gay man. [Please, it's 20xx already. The whole “I have a friend” excuse is so outdated.] [Master Xue is peerlessly elegant and handsome. If Gu Niu Pi can find a childhood friend who looks even a little like him, I'll do a headstand and eat my keyboard!] [Just you wait. His next step toward clearing his name will be hiring an actor who looks a little like Master Xue to play a fake childhood friend.] Sure enough, just a few days later, while Gu Yunshuang was filming a variety show livestream at home, the doorbell rang. He opened the door to find a tall, striking young man who looked a little like Xue Tinghe, but was even more handsome and mysterious. The man opened his arms and smiled brightly. “Hey, sweetheart, I'm back. Did you miss me?” That day, everyone watched in astonishment as Gu Yunshuang's eyes reddened. He gripped the man's collar with both hands and snapped, though his voice was soft and choked with hurt: “So you finally remembered to come back? Where the hell have you been all these years?” Later, the haters said: [Holy crap, the childhood-friend replacement is even better-looking than the original, and he's more capable too. Are there any more replacements like him? I'll take a dozen!] [Is it possible the childhood-friend replacement is actually the original, and the guy surnamed Xue is the replacement?] While the internet argued over whether Qi Yue or Xue Tinghe was the original and who was the replacement, Qi Yue was cheerfully greeting his “old friends” at the Celestial Masters Association. “Since you didn't follow my last wishes and take good care of my Shuangshuang, I had no choice but to kick open my coffin and crawl out of my grave to do it myself. Surprised? Shocked?” “…” A former Celestial Master who becomes a ghost king after death, gong × a cold-looking but soft-hearted, fairy-like cat, shou 1v1, happy ending P.S. This story is entirely fictional. Believe in science. Coming soon: Preorder 1, gong-focused, “I'm Obviously Super Cute” Because of a mistake by the Heavenly Dao, the White Tiger failed to survive his tribulation. To make it up to him, the Heavenly Dao said, “I can let you be reborn in another world. Everyone there is gorgeous, and they all love cute pets. You can act adorable and win yourself a cat-loving human to clean your litter box.” The White Tiger happily agreed. But something went wrong during his transmigration. He ended up in a different world. The moment he arrived, he spotted someone handsome, generous, and kind to small animals. This was the one. A tiny white tiger, no bigger than a kitten, trotted toward his intended litter-box attendant. With practiced ease, he tripped over his own feet and rolled right up to the person, paws in the air and fluffy belly exposed. Tilting his adorable little head, he gave a soft, sweet little meow: “Meow?” In the White Tiger's experience, this was sure to make anyone swoon, clutch their face, and cry, “So cute! So adorable!” But the watch on his intended litter-box attendant's wrist began beeping frantically. The man's face turned deathly pale, as if he'd seen something truly terrifying. He covered his face and screamed, “Help!” Then he stumbled away as fast as he could. White Tiger: ??? Before he could figure out what was happening, alarms blared throughout the city. The public fled in panic, and countless mechs and battleships surrounded him, all aiming their cannons at him. White Tiger: !!! An extraordinarily handsome man dropped down from a mech. His immaculate military uniform, long straight legs, and cool, piercing gaze hit the White Tiger right in his looks-loving heart. Aaaah! I have to make him my litter-box attendant! So he trotted over, rolling around, acting cute, and laying it on thick: Look, the world's softest, cutest kitty is right here. Come kiss me, cuddle me, and pick me up! The people on high alert: …Is this really an SSS-level alien beast? It looks completely harmless. An SSS-level alien beast cub suddenly appeared on Planet X, and the Alliance's youngest and most powerful general took it along to keep an eye on it. The entire Alliance went on high alert, refusing to be fooled by the cub's harmless appearance. Everyone knew that alien beasts above S-rank had intelligence, were good at disguising themselves, and were extremely cunning and cruel. A 3S-level alien beast could easily destroy a planet. Everyone waited in fear and despair for the beast to bare its fangs. But the cub remained harmless and adorable in every way. Every day, he ate his fill, slept, basked in the sun, and begged to be petted. He didn't act at all like a 3S-level alien beast. Gradually, people began to believe he really was a harmless little kitty and that the brain scan had simply made a mistake. Then one day, the insect race invaded. The general was badly wounded in a sneak attack while covering the civilians' retreat, and the kitty could no longer stay calm. He let out a tiger's roar, causing mountains to crumble and the earth to split. The insects were all shaken to death. Everyone: …No wonder he's a 3S-level alien beast. A goofy, looks-loving White Tiger gong × a cool, fur-loving general shou White Tiger: The tastiest alien-beast meat, cuddling the most beautiful litter-box attendant. Life is good. General: Raising the strongest 3S alien beast, petting the softest, cutest kitty. Life is good. Coming soon: Preorder 2, shou-focused, “Everyone Keeps Summoning Me After I Become an Evil God” After dying from overwork, the protagonist never expected to be reborn as an evil god. Protagonist, crying with joy: “Wonderful! No more working 996 or paying a mortgage. I don't even need to eat, drink, or use the bathroom. I can lie flat and sleep until the end of time!” But the moment he fell asleep, someone woke him up. A spoiled, unemployed man who lived off his parents and desperately wanted to get rich: “O Evil God, please bless me with great fortune. I offer my parents and sisters as sacrifices to you.” Protagonist: “Your incomplete sacrifice isn't good enough. I don't like it. Families should stay together, so how can you be left out?” Then the man watched as the ghosts of his dead family came to reunite with him. Terrified, he went to turn himself in that very night. A scheming celebrity who'd married into wealth: “O Evil God, please make me famous. I offer my wife and daughter as sacrifices to you.” Protagonist: “As you wish.” The next day, the celebrity's secret marriage, affairs with several women, and attempt to murder his wife and daughter to seize their money became public knowledge. He also earned himself a pair of silver bracelets. The head of an evil-god cult: “O Evil God, please grant us eternal youth and immortality. We offer these hundred handsome men and beautiful women as sacrifices to you.” Protagonist: “The flesh is nothing but a pretty corpse. I prefer souls that shine with the light of faith.” All the cultists were frightened out of their minds and begged the Special Security Department to save them. A rumor spread that this evil god was terrifying, and that anyone who summoned him met a terrible end. The protagonist was pleased. Surely no one would dare summon him now? At last, he could fulfill his dream of being a couch potato and sleep until the end of time. Just as he was about to fall asleep, he heard another summoning. The evil god, furious at being woken up, rushed to the altar and discovered that this time he had been summoned by a group of besieged Special Security Department agents. Special Security Department: “O great God of Justice, please protect us and all the hostages so we can make it out alive. As for the sacrifice, um, we heard you don't like souls or raw meat and such, and we didn't have time to prepare anything. Once we get back alive, we'll offer you the finest incense, plus spicy hot pot, fried chicken, barbecue skewers, beer, and fizzy drinks…” Protagonist: “…” The department chief: “If that's still not enough, how about me? I'm slim-waisted, long-legged, beautiful as a flower, and great in bed. I guarantee you'll be satisfied.” Protagonist: “…” This was completely ridiculous. And yet, he was seriously tempted. #How I switched careers from Evil God to God of Justice# Theme: Be a good person.
