A Handbook for Raising Ancient Godlings

[Notice: Main story complete, extras to come]

Xu Li'an transmigrated.

He panicked because he hadn't just transmigrated, he'd also regressed into a little kid.

Fortunately, he had incredible luck after transmigrating.

He found a kind guardian and landed a job at a small company with a fantastic atmosphere.

The company wasn't very well known, but the boss and coworkers were all incredibly nice to him. Wherever he went, someone was always there to keep him company. Work ran from ten to four, with a two-hour lunch break, unlimited afternoon tea, weekends off, and countless employee benefits.

The only downside was that the boss was too easygoing, so they could only expand into the market with advanced technology and real strength.

Still, that had its advantages: all their clients were highly cultured people.

For example, that morning Xu Li'an received another exquisite gift from an important client.

They were far too kind!

What kind of client gave gifts to a contractor's employee every day?

If he couldn't go back, he could work at this little company for the rest of his life!

That was Xu Li'an's point of view.

In reality, to ordinary people

The little company with a fantastic atmosphere = the world's most powerful organization, with technology far ahead of everyone else.

The kind guardian = a scheming false god.

The easygoing boss = a battle marshal who cursed people on sight.

The friendly bosses and coworkers = an emperor who rose to power in a bloodbath.

The highly cultured clients = the eight organizations most skilled at political intrigue.

In their eyes, little Xu Li'an was merely a form taken by some unknown ancient god.

There was no way they would just because he was cute...

Serve him tea and snacks.

Build him a manor and a ranch, and reform society's morals.

Buy him jewelry and clothes, and learn how to do makeup.

Buy him luxury cars and villas, then personally handle the renovations.

Study acting and compete for his affection.

Maintain their personas and keep him company every single day.

They were only testing him!

That's right, testing!

Everyone lay flat against the wall, secretly monitoring the quality of the young ancient god's nap.

Was the air conditioning set too low today? Let's call out that shameless emperor who disguised himself as a female secretary again just to come in and cuddle the little one.

*

Everyone had always been afraid to show Xu Li'an anything supernatural, diligently maintaining their ordinary personas.

But even the best-laid plans can go awry.

One day, the eight organizations started fighting each other again.

His coworkers made an excuse to go on a field assignment and captured a mad apostle of [Eldritch Afterglow]. During the arrest, the apostle accidentally broke through the layers of defenses built by Xu Li'an's boss and guardian, and inadvertently ran into Xu Li'an just after he'd woken from his nap.

The madman's pupils shook!

He dropped to his knees with a thump and cried out excitedly, "My lord...!"

Before he could finish,

The boss, guardian, coworkers, and clients, who usually couldn't get along, all lunged at once and clamped their hands over the madman's mouth.

Their faces were twisted, with a trace of despair.

Xu Li'an, clutching his cute dolphin pillow, looked utterly confused. Huh???

What just happened?

#Coworker A: ...I almost saw my great-grandma (wiping sweat frantically)#

#Coworker B: He just said, 'I voluntarily turned myself in.' He's always studying how to make sentences.#

#Coworker C: The little one's adorable enough to kill you, and the adult form is terrifying enough to kill you! Both can kill you, but you only have one life.#

Dream Stream: I'm Terrifyingly Strong

One day, the Alliance suddenly began promoting [Dream Streaming].

Participants' dreams would be streamed for everyone to watch. Anyone who successfully escaped would receive unimaginably generous rewards, and many people rose to prominence this way.

Unfortunately, in dreams, people's thoughts and actions seemed separated by a veil. Those who failed could only wake up and regret their behavior in the dream.

But there was one exception.

Chi Zhang hadn't signed up.

But every time he entered a dream, he would open his eyes to find a prison riot, or open a trunk and discover the familiar corpse of a woman inside, or disguise himself as a pope to lead a ceremony only for a god to actually appear.

Chi Zhang, who just wanted a good night's sleep: …

Chi Zhang: Six.

Can it get any worse?

You're really doing this to me in my dreams?

So.

Chi Zhang said, "I'm done pretending. I'll come clean."

*

At the top of the Alliance's dream leaderboard, the number one spot never budged. Everyone was obsessed with him, went mad for him, and regarded him as their faith.

In the middle of a prison riot, the place where he sat became the Silent Throne, and even the worst criminals bowed their heads.

When he was framed for no reason, two sentences went straight to the heart of the matter, leaving both sides of the law gasping for breath.

Under the pressure of the gods, he made the false seem real, set the world to rights all by himself, and declared that the next era would be the golden age of humanity!

"Want to play a hero's adventure? The kind where the hero is more vicious than the dragon~"

"I don't mind you turning me into a cat. I also said I was harmless, but look, did anyone believe me?"

"You are all guilty. Your crime: disrespecting the mortal Chi Zhang!"

When you're strong enough, the whole world will make way for you.

Reader's Guide:

1. The title, blurb, and protagonist's name are all tentative.

2. The genre and core concept won't change. It's just a certain white-haired lunatic letting loose ( ).
