What?! The Dragon-Prince Baby Is a Max-Level Celestial Master! [Metaphysics]

A new novel, Underworld Livestream: The Whole World Is Watching! [Supernatural], is now available for pre-order: My Junior Sister's Qi Refinement Is No Simple Matter and I Created an Empire After Entering a Lord Game

*

Five-year-old Dongdong often fretted over her soft, chubby little body. How could a mighty War God like her have ended up trapped in an orphanage? Then a special voice rang out, warning, [A high-level evil ghost is approaching]. Dongdong immediately perked up!

Forget it! A chubby little baby she may be! That won't stop her from kicking evil spirits and punching ghosts!

*

Xie Zhouyu, a Celestial Master with the Special Incident Investigation Bureau, received a mission to capture an evil ghost at an orphanage. He'd thoroughly researched the place and arrived fully prepared.

But could someone explain this to him? Why, when he charged into the orphanage with talismans on him and a magical treasure in hand, did he find a high-level evil ghost massaging a baby's legs?

And the most unbelievable part? The evil ghost, steeped in sin and resentment, was fawning over the baby. "My lord, don't worry. I'll mend my ways and only do good from now on. Please spare my life!"

*

Xie Zhouyu stuck close to the baby to uncover the truth. But one day, Dongdong, her hair tied into two little buns, suddenly told him, "I know you want to take this War God as your master. Your sincerity has moved me, but I must put you to a test."

As she spoke, Dongdong took out some markers and drew on a sheet of paper.

Just then, the special voice called out to her again: [Warning! Warning! My lord! Scribbling won't help!! Please don't defile the true mysteries of talismans!! Warning!! With your current cultivation, you can't...]

[Power boost in progress... Supreme-grade talisman complete...]

Dongdong tossed the drawing to Xie Zhouyu and declared proudly, "I bestow this talisman upon you. Once you can draw one with the same power, I will take you as my disciple."

If Xie Zhouyu hadn't seen that the picture was of an old tortoise, he might have believed Dongdong's nonsense. He assumed she was just a fanciful little baby who'd escaped an evil ghost by chance, then turned and left the orphanage.

Later, when Xie Zhouyu was surrounded by evil spirits and on the brink of death, a tortoise drawing appeared out of nowhere. It instantly drove off the evil spirits and saved his life.

Xie Zhouyu: !!!! This master!!! I'm definitely taking her as my master!!!!

*

At first, many people sneered when they saw a Celestial Master from the Special Incident Investigation Bureau fawning over a baby, and even others acknowledging the baby as their master. They all laughed and asked if these people had gone mad.

That was until they saw Dongdong slap an evil ghost flying...

"Well, I'll be! This is amazing!"

Soon, a craze for the War God Dongdong swept through the Celestial Master community.

#Have you gotten a talisman from the War God Dongdong today?#

#When will the War God Dongdong take on disciples again?#

#Can the War God Dongdong take me ghost hunting today? #

Later, the craze began to spread.

#Urgently seeking help! Can the War God Dongdong help me get rid of this sinister romantic entanglement?#

#About my family's ancestral grave being dug up: Can the War God Dongdong fix it?#

#I have a video of the War God Dongdong driving off evil spirits with her song Light of the Righteous Path. Want to see it?#

Celestial Master ranks: Initial Origin, Middle Origin, Upper Origin, High Realm, Upper Path, Union with the Path, Ultimate Path, Primordial Chaos.

Evil spirit ranks: Wicked Spirit, Evil Spirit, Resentful Spirit, Evil Ghost, Demon Spirit, Nether Wraith, Ghost Monster, Demon.

Ranks of items such as talismans and magical treasures: Third Grade, Second Grade, First Grade, Superior Grade, Supreme Grade, Peerless Grade.

Reader's Guide:

1. Dongdong really is a five-year-old child, and she really is a War God. Her memory is damaged, so overall she's a chubby little baby with the personality of an overpowered protagonist.

2. This is a fictional setting with a ranking system of my own design.

3. A cheerful, silly, healing story. Dongdong is invincible, so please don't overanalyze it.

4. The special voice is not the System. It's Dongdong's divine power.

Underworld Livestream: The Whole World Is Watching! [Supernatural]

This is the next novel I'll start.

As the Underworld is rebuilt, Lejia, one of the underworld officers tasked with restoring its order, is reincarnated in the mortal realm to capture the dead who linger among the living.

To rack up her work quota as efficiently as possible and get promoted and a raise sooner, Lejia works herself to the bone, rushing around every night. She livestreams her ghost hunts and shouts out advertisements: "Ghost hunting is my specialty. My contact info is at the top of the screen. If you need help, contact me first. I'll come whenever you call."

Watching this, netizens immediately sneered and cursed her, denouncing her for having no shame as she chased fame and popularity, and saying she made them extremely uncomfortable.

That was until they saw...

"What the heck! I was watching the livestream and gossiping, and it turns out this happened right near my home? Isn't that place in the video my hometown? Why is the neighbor girl who drowned as a child there? Why is she walking across a bridge I've never seen before? And why did she drink a bowl of soup?"

"Wasn't Lejia just in a village upstairs a second ago? How did she suddenly teleport to my doorstep? The person in her livestream... looks like the auntie next door who went missing three months ago! She actually died? And she says her husband was the killer???"

Millions of netizens were stunned!

So the livestreams of Lejia catching ghosts in the Underworld weren't special effects! It was real!

And when she said she'd come whenever they called, she wasn't bluffing!

Night falls, and it's time for Master Le, whose schedule is fit for the dead, to get to work. The moment she starts a livestream, hundreds of millions of netizens pour in, flooding the screen with "666."

One day, among all the "666" comments, a whole bunch of strange messages suddenly appeared.

"Hello, Master Le. I'm in a country thousands of miles away. My grandmother has been watching your livestreams for a long time. She has one wish: after she passes away, she hopes Master Le can personally escort her. Would you be able to come?"

"Could the person above give me a turn? I want to ask whether Master Le could come here. There's a vengeful spirit in our area that has committed several horrific murders, and the local mediums and shamans can't handle it at all. Could Master Le take it away first and send it to the Eighteenth Level of Hell?"

Yancang, the newly appointed King of Hell, thought: After the great calamity, the world has changed in countless ways. Gods and humans alike have been reincarnated, and divine posts have been reassigned. If Lejia accumulates enough merit soon, she can regain her divine position and once again serve as a judge in the Underworld.

First time: Lejia brought back a bunch of souls.

Yancang: Hmm, not bad.

Second time: Besides human souls, Lejia brought back a few pig demons.

Yancang: Hmm? That's all right too. After all, the six paths of reincarnation mean pig demons must be judged in the Underworld as well.

Third time: Lejia brought back a few foreigners.

Yancang: ? Wait, I need to check whether foreign souls need visas to enter the Underworld!

Fourth time: Lejia brought back a few foreign pig demons...

Yancang: ...

#Master Le's story of exceeding her work quota and expanding her business around the world#

My Junior Sister's Qi Refinement Is No Simple Matter

*

Tang Yue transmigrates into a book as a top-tier sacrificial extra in the cultivation world: her lifespan is pitifully short, her natural talent is terrible, and reaching the Qi Refinement stage is the pinnacle of her life.

In her sect:

Her master: The greatest swordsman under heaven.

Her senior brother: Has a chosen-one protagonist's destiny.

Her second senior sister: Destined for a tragic master-disciple romance.

Her third senior brother: Future leader of the demon clan.

Her fourth senior brother: Broken off from an engagement, with a blood-jade pendant.

Tang Yue: ... A useless extra who dies young, perfect for showing up in the protagonists' flashbacks.

With so many power-fantasy protagonists around, an extra like her who got close to them clearly had no chance of survival.

Fortunately, she had the System. As long as she diligently played an ordinary background character, she could gain experience, skills, and lifespan.

Tang Yue kept herself hidden and stayed far, far away from the protagonists. Even to make a living, she put on a secret identity to accept jobs and earn spirit stones.

Then one day, her senior brothers and sisters were exploring a secret realm when they ran into Tang Yue. They watched with their own eyes as their sickly Qi Refinement junior sister, who looked as though she wouldn't live much longer, punched a demonic beast as powerful as one at the Deity Transformation stage to death with her bare hands.

As it happened, they also discovered that the genius who'd advised their eldest senior brother on swordsmanship, refined a miraculous medicine to fulfill their second senior sister's dream, invented "demon mint" for their third senior brother, and forged the "Number One Saber Under Heaven" for their fourth senior brother was none other than their sickly little junior sister!

Her senior brothers and sisters were stunned: Junior Sister! Aren't you only at the Qi Refinement stage?

Her master: So you were the one who gave me the Carefree Powder.

Tang Yue: ... Just hear me out...

Damn it! She'd better go back and update her job-acceptance System immediately! If a job comes from the protagonist group, she has to steer clear!

While wearing secret identities to do jobs, Tang Yue met a pitiable little person. Dressed in rags and wearing a "hideousness-concealing" mask, they looked about as miserable as could be. They were clearly her destined friend.

The two felt a kinship and declared each other friends who'd stand together through life and death.

Later, Tang Yue discovered that her destined, pitiful friend was actually the biggest villain in the entire cultivation world.

Never mind...

Tang Yue quickly blocked them and vanished for good.

Sikong Tong: ...

It must have been hard for him to keep up the act for so long, only to end up right back where he started.

I Created an Empire After Entering a Lord Game

*Regular updates guaranteed. Come give it a try!

[The Lord Game has begun. Plundering will commence in one week. Losers will be eliminated. Strength is the only way to survive.]

When Bai Yue woke up, she heard a cold, mechanical game prompt in her ear. Behind her stood a dilapidated thatched hut, a patch of weedy land, two low-tier workers, and a set of basic starter tools.

In the distance lay a thick fog, labeled "Undeveloped Area."

Exploring new territory, developing wasteland, fortifying her home, and leveling up as quickly as possible were Bai Yue's only ways to deal with other lords coming to plunder her in a week.

On top of that, the natural disasters periodically unleashed by the game System and the evil forces invading her territory were all grueling trials that put her survival at stake.

Bai Yue hurried to work on upgrading her territory, then suddenly realized there was something different about it.

Strange prompts floated above everything she saw.

(Low-tier green grass: Woven into shoes and worn, it can increase movement speed.)

(Golden Spirit Grass: Eating it increases energy and speeds up work.)

(Supreme-grade soil: Ordinary plants can be upgraded to supreme grade when planted in it.)

(F-grade worker: If the lord makes the worker beautiful, they can lure enemy laborers into defecting.)

Bai Yue: I get it!

*

The first plundering and elimination round began. The neighboring lord charged straight at Bai Yue's territory with his own, ready to plunder it.

But...

The soldiers he'd worked so hard to upgrade and trade for defected on the spot, and the house he'd built crumbled like an egg struck by a rock.

Before he could even start fighting, he could only watch as his territory was plundered instead.

Before long, another lord launched an attack...

And Bai Yue's territory grew even larger.

Bai Yue: ... I didn't do anything... Would anyone believe me?

*

After learning how to see the hidden information about everything, Bai Yue began diligently acting as a good lord: upgrading her own workers, expanding the land, working hard to farm, building a home, and growing her territory.

She also plundered and swallowed up the territories that were practically delivered to her doorstep. Life was simple and pleasant.

Until one day, someone knocked on the gate to Bai Yue's territory...

A stranger lord arrived with a vast territory and said politely, "Are you Lord Bai? Your humble servant has come to pledge himself to you."

Bai Yue: ???

*

Bai Yue: Do you believe me when I say that I never intended to have a boundless territory, countless nearby islands, and more workers and followers than I can count, or to establish an empire in the Lord Game? It wasn't my personal choice at all.

#The story of how I was forced to take on a bunch of followers#

#I never expected to conquer an empire#

Reader's Guide:

1. A progression story with kingdom-building.

2. Not much romance.

3. To be added.
