Becoming a Beacon of Righteousness Through Shenanigans (Quick Transmigration)

[The novel is being revised. I'll post it once the revisions are done.]

Xiao Linyi was a transmigrator. After transmigrating to the cultivation world, he worked himself to the bone cultivating for hundreds of years. At long last, he was about to ascend and go home, but the Heavenly Dao refused to give him an official position.

So the thoughtful Xiao Linyi had to find another way. He diligently studied the nature of the world (?) and explored the mysteries of humanity (not really).

Many years later, a hole appeared out of nowhere in the world's otherwise flawless barrier.

Heavenly Dao: "..." Did I just crack?

With no other choice, the Heavenly Dao hit Xiao Linyi with a five-thunder strike gift pack and kicked him out of the cultivation world.

However, the moment Xiao Linyi left the cultivation world, he ran into something called a System.

Other people encounter Systems that forcibly bind them, but when Xiao Linyi meets one, it runs away from him.

Xiao Linyi: ?

Well, since we're here, if the mountain won't come to me, I'll go to the mountain :D

The System, hijacked by its own Host, stared in bewilderment: "???"

Excuse me?!!!

It's true I need a Host, but I'm a perfectly good System. It's not like I have to bind myself to a great demon as my Host, okay?!

The System really wanted to yell at the Heavenly Dao: You don't want him, so you kick him out! And now I'm supposed to take him?!

What could it do?

The System could only make the best of a bad situation: "Our mission is to assist the Child of the World, help them maintain peace in their minor world, and eliminate anything that threatens its safety."

Xiao Linyi pondered. Xiao Linyi understood. Xiao Linyi came up with a plan: So they still fight among themselves in these minor worlds? Seems they really lack a sense of crisis.

He nodded to himself. The Mandate of Heaven is mine!

If I become the greatest threat, won't the world be peaceful?

???

System: Does that logic even make sense? Why are you nodding?!

And so the following minor worlds got wrecked

[World One]: From the start, what are the odds of successfully staging a rebellion?

Xiao Linyi: Not very high. High enough to make the System shut down emotionally, though :D

System: I*%￥&#

[World Two]: I Achieved Sainthood Through Merit in a World of Ghosts

[World Three]: The Villainous Demon Lord, Yet a Beacon of Righteousness

[Extra Scene]

System (interviewing him): I hear you're good at stirring things up?

Xiao Linyi nodded readily: That's right.

System: What kind of thing are you good at stirring up?

Xiao Linyi: Unless something unexpected happens, I'd say I'm good at bringing the dead back to life.

System: ...And if something unexpected does happen?

Xiao Linyi: No big deal. I just do the opposite.

System: ...

My native language is speechlessness.

There's one thing Xiao Linyi didn't mention: when he "stirs things up," something unexpected always happens :D

P.S.:

* Slow transmigration + friendship + family

* The protagonist is a real Big Demon King, but also truly revered by everyone

* Not a typical wish-fulfillment story

* Any political scheming in the story is made up on the spot. The author is limited by her intelligence, so please be gentle.

* The cover was a gift from a wonderful author on Bishui. Many thanks~
