Steampunk World: Becoming a God with Daily Intelligence

Aikeming transmigrates into a supernatural world resembling the Industrial Age. He awakens the “Chronicles of Calamity,” which provides him with several pieces of intelligence every day. [Intelligence 1: Melanie, the witch of the Upper City, goes out alone late at night. Stake out her route and you might have a chance encounter.] [Intelligence 2: The Nimrion Emperor has risen from the dead. S-rank superhumans can compete for his legacy.] [Intelligence 3: A demigod's relic will appear at the Corps auction. You can buy it for 30,000 gold pounds.] Aikeming laughed in disbelief. Apart from getting a taste of a witch, the other tips were useless to a penniless, talentless slave who was about to be sacrificed. But Aikeming had the patience to take things slowly... Steam roared, five emperors stood supreme, and the flames of war spread across the Southern Continent. Concealing his identity, Aikeming navigated between the great organizations, using intelligence to rise through the ranks of the supernatural world, one step at a time. A Church lapdog, a rebel spy, a fearsome hunter on the high seas, a black-market trader with a vast commercial network, the leader of the mysterious and highly acclaimed “Radiant Chess Society”... Aikeming built one false identity after another to deceive the world, while he himself remained hidden behind a mask, mysterious and unfathomable. Years later, when this master con artist finally stepped out from behind the scenes and took center stage, powerful figures from every faction scoffed: “You think you're good at fighting? So what if you can fight? To claim a divine throne, you need power! You need connections! What gang are you with?” “What do you mean, the Heavenly Dao?” [Cautious protagonist] [Multiple female leads] [Melting-pot worldbuilding] [Dark fantasy] [Sequence pathways]
