Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

The Palace of Stars.

Since Lin Yao and his group were able to control their entry into the Star Palace and began taking turns on duty, the frequency of newcomers appearing has steadily increased.

Those Lin Yaos from different worlds and timelines gathered one after another in this magical hall, like stars in the sky.

For example, the two Lin Yaos on duty today, one of them is Lin Yao, the little winner in the Highschool of the Dead world—that guy who's doing really well in the zombie apocalypse—while the other Lin Yao is a total fresh-faced newbie.

This newcomer, Lin Yao, after transmigrating, transmigrated to the Qin Dynasty... no, he transmigrated to the world of "Qin's Moon," which has been updated for a longer period than the Qin Dynasty itself. He also became involved with a conquest system and aspired to become an emperor, Lin Yao.

However, this system seems rather outdated; in other words, it was released too early, and its various functions are not as complete as later versions. There's no newbie gift pack, no one-click upgrade, no automatic management—only some basic auxiliary functions and scattered task prompts. Therefore, Lin Yao is still under the First Emperor's oppression, obediently going to work every day as a Qin official.

Of course, he also aspired to become a great emperor for all time. Every day when he clocked in at work, he would look at the magnificent palace of Xianyang and secretly vow: One day, I will sit in there and rule the world.

Logically, after the Qin Dynasty was established, the First Emperor would die within a few years, followed by the chaos caused by Qin Er Shi (Hu Hai) and Zhao Gao, plunging the country into turmoil, which would then be the time for a power struggle. With the system's assistance, Lin Yao would likely be able to seize power and enjoy the company of beautiful women in no time.

However, as mentioned before—this is the world of Qin's Moon, and its timeline is comparable to that of a certain Bleach elementary school student. That Bleach elementary school student has been studying from first grade to third grade for over twenty years and still hasn't graduated. And the timeline of Qin's Moon is also notoriously long.

Lin Yao of Qin Shi waited a long time, feeling that it wouldn't be long before the First Emperor, the ancestral dragon, would pass away, and then he could slowly seize the opportunity to start his rebellion and begin the real struggle for the world.

The result was disastrous—the First Emperor had not yet made his eastern tour.

"Damn it!" Qin Shilin Yao wanted to roar to the heavens every time he thought of this. He had been a civil servant in the Qin Dynasty for so many years, rising from a lowly clerk to the chief clerk of a prefecture, and his hair was almost turning white, yet the First Emperor still hadn't begun his famous eastern tour. Without the eastern tour, there would have been no Sand Dune Coup; without the Sand Dune Coup, there would have been no Hu Hai's ascension to the throne; without Hu Hai's ascension, there would have been no chaos in the world. So when would his hegemony system finally come in handy?

Then Lin Yao wanted to see what development measures the system could provide. It turned out the system did offer development measures, but they were all about accumulating power—things like "diligent governance and love for the people, winning their hearts," "developing agriculture and stockpiling grain," and "befriending heroes and recruiting talent." As for conquering the world, that would have to start from the beginning of the timeline, which meant the death of the First Emperor. So, Lin Yao could only grit his teeth and wait it out.

It's like being reborn into the Qin Dynasty and working as a civil servant.

Of course, Lin Yao complained like that, but ultimately, this Emperor System still gave him a lot of confidence. It was also thanks to this system that Lin Yao was able to survive in the ancient Qin Dynasty and thrive within its system, avoiding being forced into labor. Although the system was old-fashioned, it at least gave him a complete set of imperial strategies and tactics, allowing him to thrive in the officialdom.

Lin Yao is currently a civil servant, but he has gradually risen to prominence in the prefecture, gaining considerable fame and becoming a rising star in the area. The prefect favors him greatly, his colleagues treat him with awe, and his subordinates obey his every command. Slowly, some tactics have begun to emerge—especially towards those who want to restore the monarchy, the remnants of the six former states, and the nobles who are secretly colluding. Lin Yao also possesses an Emperor System, granting him various imperial political strategies, finding endless pleasure in the struggles with others. This is his only source of enjoyment in the Qin Dynasty world.

Along the way, he encountered many beautiful women—the daughter of the Tian family, a noblewoman from the Zhao family, a chivalrous woman from the martial arts world, and even a Hu woman from the Western Regions. Lin Yao welcomed them all without hesitation, strengthening his own power. Ultimately, when it came time to conquer the world, he needed enough descendants to give others hope, so that his subordinates would feel secure in following him. Of course, Lin Yao of Qin Shi would never admit that he was hopelessly infatuated with beautiful women.

While Lin Yao and Lin Yao from Xueyuan Garden lamented that they didn't have enough kidneys, three new faces appeared inside the Star Palace.

The first newcomer, Lin Yao, looked like a primary school student with a cute face. He wore a blue and white suit with a red bow tie and carried a small schoolbag. His attire gave Lin Yao from the student school and Lin Yao from Qin Shi a strange sense of familiarity—as if they had seen him somewhere before.

The second Lin Yao was dressed in a sharp suit, exuding an extraordinary aura. His features were refined and handsome, his appearance dignified, and he was tall. Standing there, he radiated the presence of a successful man, making people involuntarily want to look at him more. However, after looking at him a few more times, one couldn't help but feel an urge to criticize him—as if this man was born with a face that "deserved to be scolded." How strange.

The third Lin Yao was somewhat unexpected—it was an adorable deep orange cat. The cat was of medium size, with glossy fur and bright, large eyes, giving it an extremely cute yet strangely comical appearance. It sat there, tilting its head as it looked at the other two Lin Yaos, as if sizing them up. It seemed to be both good-looking and funny.

The two people and the cat arrived at the Star Palace and were all taken aback. A resonance of their souls made them feel a sense of familiarity, and they couldn't help but start talking.

"You are also... Lin Yao?" Lin Yao, who looked like a primary school student, spoke first, his voice childish.

"I think so." Lin Yao, dressed in a suit, nodded and stroked his chin. "I can feel that our souls share the same origin."

"Meow." The cat meowed and nodded.

To everyone's astonishment, the new cat suddenly raised its paw—no, raised its claw—and swung it. A soft light flashed, and to Lin Yao's and the others' astonishment, the cat transformed into a dashing young man in white. The young man appeared to be in his early twenties, with a handsome face and refined demeanor. He held a folding fan in his hand, gently waving it, exuding an air of elegance and charm.

Someone actually learned the secret to changing the appearance of a soul the first time they entered the Star Palace!

Xue Yuanyao and Qin Shilin exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes. This newcomer is probably not simple.

The two immediately stepped forward and began to merge and exchange memories with him. After he released them, they were dumbfounded.

This guy, who can freely switch between cat and human forms, is unaware of the secrets of the Star Palace—changing appearance is his innate ability. The reason for this is that he comes from a world with extremely high combat power and comedic elements, and is an important member of that world.

Lin Yao, who switches between cat and human forms, comes from the world of "Happy Star Cat" and is the eldest brother of Star Cat.

That's right, it's Happy Star Cat—the eldest brother of Star Cat, who possesses the ability to travel through time and suppress demon kings, and is like a chosen one of destiny. His identity is off the charts in the Happy Star Cat world.

When Lin Yao first transmigrated to the Star Cat world, he was immediately transformed into a cat, and he thought he was doomed. After all, he wasn't a Jerry fanatic and had normal aesthetic sense. However, after discovering that he could turn back later, he relaxed. Plus, he had a cheerful little brother by his side who could handle any trouble he caused, so Lin Yao didn't care and joined in the fun.

Lin Yao found that life, filled with both joy and thrills, very comfortable and had no intention of stopping it. He was just the older brother, not a parent. With the Star Cat brothers and the potentially existing world consciousness providing a safety net, it didn't matter. And with him by their side, the Star Cats were more cheerful and carefree than in the original story. Many dangers were more serious than before, but they were quickly averted—after all, Lin Yao had also played a part in them.

In his repeated battles with the Dark Lord, Lin Yao discovered that his strength was gradually increasing, and he also began to switch between cat and human forms. Furthermore, he possessed an extremely powerful force within him, seemingly becoming terrifying. Of course, this was cheating—traveling through time and space with Star Cat, having a blast. Now he had both strength and power, and could freely switch between cat and human forms; it was practically the perfect life.

Lin Yao and Lin Yao from the school exchanged silent glances, a mixture of envy and amusement in their eyes. This Star Cat brother seemed to be having the most fun in his own world. Beyond the nostalgia factor, the most important thing was his open-mindedness and the fact that he had perfectly mastered various powers. The Star Cat world thrilled them—although it was a comedic anime, the characters truly possessed immense strength. Each of those constellation warriors possessed world-destroying power. And as the eldest brother of the Star Cats, Lin Yao's strength was unlikely to be lacking either.

After their fruitful haul, the two turned their expectant gazes to Lin Yao, who was dressed in a sharp suit. He was imposing, yet carried a strange sense of guilt—an expression as if he had done something wrong. He was clearly not an ordinary person.

The memory reception and fusion... Xueyuan Yuanyao and Qin Shi Linyao were somewhat shocked. The merged memories were very short—this Linyao had only just transmigrated today.

But right from the start, he was met with criticism from all sorts of people. His wife, mother-in-law, and father-in-law all mocked him, saying he was useless, unworthy of their daughter, and a good-for-nothing. The scene was incredibly frustrating.

Faced with this situation, the newcomer Lin Yao felt a strange urge to endure it—a lingering habitual cowardice from the original owner of the body. However, the transmigrated Lin Yao wouldn't tolerate this. He simply smirked and activated his "Dragon King Returns" form. Then he launched a swift counterattack—"You say I'm useless? My annual salary is higher than your entire family combined. You say I'm not good enough for your daughter? Your daughter marrying me is a huge step up. You say I'm a waste? I'll bankrupt your family company in a minute."

Then those guys tried to attack, and he slapped them back. Then they wanted him to pay the price, so he twisted his hand, and the door burst open, and a large group of people rushed in, knelt on one knee, and then the scene of "Welcoming the Dragon King back to his throne" appeared.

Okay, so this is the world of "The Return of the Urban Dragon King." This is just too cliché!

The memory ends here—just as we were about to reach the climax, we entered this palace of stars.

"I didn't expect you to be doing something so advanced." Academician Yuan Yao, with the air of a seasoned expert, patted the newcomer on the shoulder. "But it seems you're the protagonist, and your influence will speed up the plot, skipping over frustrating moments and going straight to the face-slapping scenes—that's pretty satisfying. Young man, you have a bright future. Keep up the good work, I believe in you!"

"I never imagined this world was so wonderful." Qin Shilin blinked, his face full of envy. "It's a pity my world can't speed things up. I've been wanting the First Emperor to die so I could ascend the throne sooner. I really, really, really want to be emperor."

When Xue Yuanyao saw Lin Yao from Qin Shi Huang, who looked just like Qin Er Shi from a certain TV series, he couldn't help but shake his head. This guy's mind is completely consumed by the idea of ​​becoming emperor; he's practically obsessed.

Then he turned his gaze to another person—Lin Yao, who looked like an elementary school student. He continued to select the starry virtual interface in front of him to complete the memory fusion, only to find that this person was also a big shot.

Coming from the world of *Detective Conan*, he even became a classmate of the Teitan Trio—that is, Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi. Okay, this start is truly...unsettling. He has nothing, and spends every day hanging out with a bunch of elementary school kids. And to make matters worse, this timeline seems to never grow up—as everyone knows, the timeline in the Conan world is frozen. Conan, from the first episode to now, is still in first grade. This Lin Yao traveled back in time, became an elementary school student, and then got stuck in that timeline, unable to grow up no matter what.

Lin Yao felt somewhat helpless in the world of Detective Conan. He tried various methods—training, taking medicine, and even asking Ai Haibara for the antidote—but nothing worked. He just wouldn't grow up; he would always be a primary school student.

"Okay, so it's stuck in the Conan world's timeline." After a long, dumbfounded look, Xue Yuanyao gave this assessment. "If it were some kind of longevity story where you just survive, that would be awesome. Or if you could just grow up directly, that would be awesome too. But the problem is, bro, you're starting like a primary school student. Even if you wanted to take action, your body wouldn't allow it."

"Indeed." Qin Shilin Yao nodded, looking sympathetic. "An immortality starting from elementary school level, isn't that a nightmare? You can't access anything. No, wait, okay, you can play with elementary school kids." As he said this, a hint of ambiguity flashed in his eyes—because the only pastime for a civil servant is to spar with all sorts of girls, this guy couldn't stop talking about beauties.

Hearing these guys make sarcastic remarks, Lin Yao from the Conan world couldn't help but roll his eyes. There was nothing he could do; that's just how the timeline was. His only pleasure now was solving cases, seeing all sorts of beautiful women, and hoping to steal Ran away—anything to prevent that girl who was still hung up on him and kept him in a childlike state for so long from feeling at ease, and to keep the Asian King of Jealousy constantly jealous. Every time he saw Conan's tense expression, he found it particularly amusing.

After a brief exchange of memories, everyone went back to their own homes, leaving only Xueyuan Yuanyao and Qinshi Linyao to stay at the Star Palace.

Xue Yuanyao leaned back on the throne, legs crossed, and sighed, "These guys who came today are all quite interesting. The one from the Star Cat world had the most fun; the one from Dragon King Returns had the most melodramatic plot; and the one from Detective Conan world had the worst start."

Qin Shilin Yao nodded in deep agreement: "Yes. Compared to them, I think I'm quite lucky. Although I have to wait for the First Emperor to die, at least I'm an adult and can do whatever I want."

"You should be grateful." Yuan Yao rolled her eyes at him. "At least you had a beautiful woman by your side when you were a civil servant in the Qin Dynasty. In the world of Highschool of the Dead, I'm surrounded by zombies all day long, and it's hard to even find someone to talk to."

The two exchanged a glance and sighed simultaneously.

Then, they both laughed.
