This Is a Joke, Right?

When Liu Xiaoxiao opened his eyes, the sky was pitch-black, and there was no sign of anyone else in the room.

Just then, a line of large words appeared before his eyes: "Xie Yue, male, eleven years old, Moon Blade Spirit, Level 31 Soul Power."

At the same time, Liu Xiaoxiao discovered that he had somehow gained many memories.

These are... Xie Yue's memories from before he turned eleven? Liu Xiaoxiao thought.

"Hey, are you all still alive?" Little Fatty's voice came from within Liu Xiaoxiao's mind. "If you're alive and didn't transmigrate into a spirit beast, make a sound."

"Beep." "Beep." One voice after another rang out in Liu Xiaoxiao's mind.

"Looks like everyone survived?" Chen Long asked.

"What did you all transmigrate into?" Little Fatty asked.

"You go first," Liu Xiaoxiao said.

"Me... I'm only three years old now... Fiery Phoenix Ma Hongjun..." Little Fatty's listless voice came through.

"Not bad, Little Fatty?" Wang Haochen's voice came through.

"..." Li Hong and Qi Xiaomin had already laughed themselves silly.

"The one whose evil fire flares up uncontrollably, who changes girlfriends all the time and frequents brothels? You got lucky!" Zheng Bei said.

"You'd better be careful not to lose yourself!" Chen Long said earnestly.

"You guys, every single one of you..." Little Fatty's resentful voice came through.

"We're just jealous of you," He Qiang said.

"I already said mine. What about you?" Little Fatty asked.

"I reincarnated as Yu Tianheng, and Chen Long reincarnated as Yu Tianxin. I'm ten now, and he's eleven. My Soul Power is Level 22, while his is Level 23," He Qiang said.

"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, with the continent's strongest Assault-type Beast Spirit? Not bad." Fan Yihuang said.

"Looks like everyone got lucky and ended up somewhere powerful." Da Bao said. "I'm now Evil Eye White Tiger Dai Mubai's older brother, Dai Weisi. I'm twelve, with Level 26 Soul Power."

"You need to get along well with your little brother," Chen Long said. "When we become gods in the future, we might need their help. Besides, the Star Luo Empire Royal Family's power is also extremely important."

"My turn. I've reincarnated as Huo Wushuang, seven years old, with Level 11 Soul Power. Qi Xiaomin reincarnated as Huo Wu, six years old, with Level 7 Soul Power," Fan Yihuang said.

"The two strongest ones from Blazing Fire Academy?" Wang Haochen asked in surprise. "Don't tell me we've got this whole world's future covered?"

"Maybe we really do," Li Hong said. "I reincarnated as Feng Xiaotian, twelve years old, with Level 24 Soul Power."

"Someone at Godwind Academy too?" Da Bao asked.

"My turn." Wang Haochen's voice came through. "I transmigrated into Dugu Yan. Ten years old, Level 18 Soul Power."

"And me," Zheng Bei said. "I seem to be that Ye Lingling person. Ten years old, Level 17 Soul Power."

"Jade Phosphorous Serpent and Nine Hearts Begonia?" Qi Xiaomin said. "Not bad, your backers are pretty impressive. One is poison control, and the other is area-wide group healing."

"I'm the one called Yan," Chen Fang said. "I'm currently eleven years old, with Level 27 Soul Power."

"What a coincidence, we're all in Spirit Hall," Liu Xiaoxiao said. "I'm Xie Yue, eleven years old, with Level 31 Soul Power."

"You all seem to be my subordinates," Lin Bo said at last. "I seem to have reincarnated as Qian Renxue. Twelve years old, Level 41 Soul Power."

"Level 41? Are you insane?" Wang Haochen said.

"Nothing wrong with that. Innate Level 20 Spirit Power, then six years of cultivation—Level 41 is perfectly normal," Lin Bo said.

"Anyway, let me analyze this," Chen Long said. "We have three in Spirit Hall, two at Blazing Fire Academy, one at Godwind Academy, two in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, two who are future Imperial Fighting Team—meaning Heaven Dou Royal Fighting Team—members, one Prince of the Star Luo Empire, and one of the Shrek Seven Devils. The prospects are pretty good."

"We need to adapt to this environment as quickly as possible while improving our strength," He Qiang said. "At the very least, there shouldn't be any major changes over the next ten years."

"What about me?" Little Fatty asked.

"You?" Zheng Bei said irritably. "You have it easiest out of all of us. While adapting, we still need to try our best to act like we used to and avoid exposing any flaws. But you? You're only three years old. You have plenty of time to adapt to this world."

"How did this become my fault again? I'm the weakest one out of everyone right now," Little Fatty said.

"Stop complaining. Anyway, we're counting on you to build good relations with the Shrek Seven Devils. If we want to become gods in the future, we may need to cooperate with them," Chen Long said.

"I want to be the big villain!" Lin Bo shouted.

"Stop making noise. If you become a villain, you'll only end up with a tragic ending like in the original story," Liu Xiaoxiao said impatiently. "Behave yourself, cultivate in peace, and figure out how to seize Spirit Hall's authority. Then the whole world will truly be ours."

"Oh... so that's how it is..." Lin Bo agreed unwillingly.

"Why do I get the feeling he's a little reluctant?" Wang Haochen asked.

"Forget about him," Liu Xiaoxiao said. "For now, we should interfere with this world as little as possible, lest future changes render the information we know useless. Besides, if Tang San fails to grow up and no one can restrain Bibi Dong, it may become a disaster for the entire continent and affect our later advancement as well—we can't guarantee that we'll become gods within a dozen years, nor can we rely solely on Lin Bo to restrain Bibi Dong. Things probably won't go that smoothly. A stable environment is still necessary."

After that, everyone gradually fell asleep.

Before dawn the next day, Zheng Bei's shout rang out in Liu Xiaoxiao's mind: "Wake up!"

"What are you yelling for?" Anyone awakened from a sound sleep would be in a bad mood, and everyone cursed at him together.

"I remembered something very important," Zheng Bei said. "I seem to have turned into a girl?"

"...You only just realized?" Wang Haochen said speechlessly.

"What do I do? Hurry and teach me!" Zheng Bei shouted anxiously.

"What can you do? Just roll with it," Wang Haochen said. "I'm in the same situation as you. Just let nature take its course."

"...Fine. It seems there's no other way." Zheng Bei conceded.

"By the way, did I gain a younger sister?" Liu Xiaoxiao said.

"Listen, don't get any bad ideas," Little Fatty said. "If you do that, it'll be very easy to lose yourself."

"Alright, alright, I get it, okay?" Liu Xiaoxiao shook his head. "Then starting today, let us adapt to this new world and grow stronger!"
