How Many Steps Does It Take to Become the Demon Emperor in the Primordial World?

Completed novel: Detective Conan + The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. crossover, "My Brother-Obsessed Rival Is My Little Brother"

[Completed]

Lu Ling never imagined that he could fall asleep and wake up no longer human.

He'd thought the Investiture of the Gods was over, and he could live carefree as a lazy third-generation cultivator, spending his days eating, drinking, and having fun. But reality was cruel!

Not only did he have to work hard every day to bring his grandfather back to life, he also had to rack his brains and scheme against others. To achieve his goal quickly, Lu Ling had no choice but to set out on the path of unifying the Demon Realm.

Lu Ling: Boo-hoo! I'm just a little lazy fish. Why are you making me go through all this?

Fortunately, someone was always by his side. Whenever he turned around, that person was there, never having left. His only real flaw was that he kept stopping Lu Ling from looking at beautiful people.

Little Scene One:

Lu Ling was bullied into tears the first time he met Jialouluo.

Jialouluo: Wow! What a dark little coal ball. Where's your face?

Lu Ling: I'll make sure you get beaten so badly you won't have a face either.

Little Scene Two:

After Lu Ling and Jialouluo got together, Jialouluo was always jealous of Lu Ling and Sun Wukong.

Jialouluo pulled out a pearl as big as his head. "I heard this stuff is good for your skin. I'll put on a face mask and tempt Xiao Ling back to me."

When Lu Ling returned, he was startled to find Jialouluo covered from head to toe in pearl powder. "Are you dressing up as a mummy?"

Jialouluo emerged from his shell, revealing gleaming, firm muscles.

Lu Ling: So shameless, flaunting yourself like that. Hmph! Drooling.jpg

Lu Ling: Appears innocent and adorable, knows how to act cute, but is actually wildly imaginative, a drama queen, scheming, and a sucker for good looks. Strong shou.

Jialouluo: At first, a childish boy who acts like a mom; later, a jealous, scheming pretty boy. Gong.

The story mainly follows their personal growth. The shou's personality will be a little softer early on, and the romance begins after he reaches adulthood. This is my take on the Primordial World, with some original worldbuilding.

"The Imperial Bodyguard With a Belly"

Dun Dun is a little orange cat with nine tails, a noble background, and White Tiger blood.

His lifelong ambition is to become the most successful Nine-Tailed Cat King, just like his little dad. He works tirelessly toward that goal.

The Nine-Tailed Cat clan has a special method of cultivation. Kittens must enter the human world and find a human to serve, bringing protection to each person they serve. When that person's life ends naturally, the kitten grows a new tail.

When a kitten has nine little tails, its cultivation is complete, and it can return to the Cat Realm.

As the most distinguished little prince of the Cat Realm, Dun Dun naturally believes that only the most exalted humans are worthy of serving him. Everyone else is fit only to wash the little prince's paws.

First human: Ying Zheng

Second human: Liu Xiu

Third human: Li Shimin

Fourth human: To be unlocked

PS 1: This is history in a parallel universe, not actual history.

"A Female Insect, Not a Fairy"

Yin Lan is a female insect born into an aristocratic family of the Insect Race.

As a new generation of the Empire's chosen elite, Yin Lan has no regrets in life.

Although his fiance is a good-for-nothing who has nothing going for him except being a male, Yin Lan doesn't care. In his eyes, all the males in the world are good-for-nothings, but at least his fiance is obedient.

However, on the day he came of age, he learned the truth about the world.

It turned out that this world was actually a reverse harem novel about the Insect Race. His good-for-nothing fiance was the absolute main gong, while he was one of the main shous.

His fate had already been written.

He would become a broad-minded, indulgent legal wife, working hard to support his husband while watching him take in countless lovers.

And in the future, not only would he have no complaints, he would clap and cheer, praising his gong for making an outstanding contribution to the Empire's birth rate and for all his hard work.

Yin Lan: Cursing and swearing.jpg

Proud as he was, Yin Lan would never accept that. After notifying his elder brother, he packed up and ran away. But during his escape, he encountered a wormhole, and he and his spaceship landed on a blue planet he had never seen before.

The spaceship was wrecked, and the little female insect was stranded on the streets with nowhere to go. To make matters worse, an inexplicable alien male mistook him for a monster and chased him around, though Yin Lan didn't even know what a monster was.

Yin Lan: Good. Male, you've successfully caught my interest.

"My Sister-in-Law Is Six Foot Three"

Lan Ziyu died, then came back to life.

When it came to changing from a real man into a male pretending to be a man, Lan Ziyu, who proudly claimed to have read countless erotic novels, took it in stride.

The only thing that shocked him was that, though he had been a dogged bachelor, he suddenly became the one expected to take over someone else's wife.

In a country where the customs said, "When a father dies, marry his stepmother; when an elder brother dies, marry his sister-in-law," Lan Ziyu had no choice but to follow tradition and inherit his dead elder brother's wife.

The first time he saw Wei Changxing, Lan Ziyu thought he'd met the man of his dreams. He felt ready to give love another try. He didn't even mind that the other man was a male.

But the next moment, his stunning sister-in-law bowed gracefully and sweetly called him "husband."

Tsk. Gazing at that beautiful face and towering, muscular frame, Lan Ziyu was filled with regret.

What a gorgeous body, but what a shame he's one of the girls.

But Lan Ziyu, who trusted this beauty without a second thought, didn't know that the sister-in-law he thought loved beauty, fine things, and acting cute was actually a ravenous wolf. Once he set his sights on something, he wouldn't stop until he got it.

Innocent-hearted, greedy little pervert x dramatic, ravenous wolf
