Douling Empire, Spirit City.
Although the Douling Empire was the weakest of the three original countries on the Douluo Continent, the prosperity of its capital, Spirit City, could be imagined.
Traffic flowed through the main streets, crowds bustled, and even in the daytime, Soul Power neon lights flickered incessantly.
However, often the more prosperous a place was, the more it hid filth and ugliness.
This place was exactly that—a slum.
The pungent, foul odor made it impossible to breathe; flies buzzed about, and garbage and sewage flowed everywhere.
Most of the people living here wore tattered clothes and had gaunt figures.
At the far end of the slum, on a relatively clean step near the street, sat a child of about five or six years old, wearing tattered clothes covered in patches, staring blankly at the street where few people passed by.
This child’s appearance was ordinary, with nothing particularly striking, the kind that one would never find if thrown into a crowd.
If one had to point something out, the most obvious feature was the two tufts of hair on the sides of his head that stuck up high, looking like dog ears from a distance.
“Xiuxiu…
Xiuxiu…”
He kept whispering these two words in his mouth, as if he were murmuring about his lover.
That’s right.
Standing before you is none other than—
The second-generation Dragon God, Universe Law Enforcer, ruler of the Dragon God Realm, Supreme God King—Tang Xuanyu.
These things were not important.
The most important thing was that he was the grandson of Tang San.
So naturally, the simple four words “Grandson of Tang San” had overshadowed every title Tang Xuanyu had previously possessed.
No, he should be called Lan Xuanyu now.
Because…
he had experienced Rebirth.
Lan Xuanyu looked down, staring in confusion at his own tender, small hands.
Why…
did it become like this?!
I, this Dragon God King, am already max level!
And you tell me to restart?!
Memories flooded his mind like a tide, and Lan Xuanyu recalled why he had appeared here.
As the inheritor of the Dragon God Bloodline, the genuine second-generation Dragon God, Lan Xuanyu’s strength and status could be said to be unrivaled across the entire God Realm, hailed as the strongest God King, and there was no other!
He had even comprehended the true meaning of the Dragon God God Position and the Laws of the Universe, becoming the “Universe Law Enforcer.” Even his grandfather, the Sea God Tang San, who had returned after a Rebirth and stat reset, was still no match for him.
Logically speaking, he should have been an invincible existence in the Universe, so why was he reborn in this era?
The matter had to start after the return of [Rebirth Tang San].
Ever since Tang San’s Rebirth and return, the Douluo Planet and the Great God Circle had been developing at high speed.
Especially on the Douluo Continent, after the success of their [Shrek Team] project, in just a short millennium, over a dozen First-Class Divinities had appeared on the Douluo Planet.
Although the distribution of resources might have been slightly uneven, he believed no one would have any unwarranted questions.
After his cousin Huo Zhanji had pacified the [Dragon Horse Galaxy] and the God of Heavenly Guardian had joined the Great God Circle, everyone believed the moment to assault the Divine Planet had arrived.
After all, the timing, location, and people were all in their favor; all the Divinities were of one mind, and the spheres of influence of the two God Realms were even broader than the [Dragon God Realm] at its Peak.
Most importantly, there were two Supreme God Kings, himself and his grandfather, holding the fort, and the God of Heavenly Guardian was also in their God Realm.
No matter how one looked at it, the advantage was with them!
However, whether it was him or Tang San, they had still thought too simply.
Just when they were leading all the Divinities with all their might and had already completed the Douluo Divine Planet, everything was over.
Before the gods of the newly born [Douluo Divine Planet], that giant god who brought the end to the World appeared…
Recalling that terrifying guy uncontrollably, Lan Xuanyu shuddered instinctively.
He was certain that for the entire Universe, this was an unprecedented catastrophe.
He had been blasted apart after taking two hits.
Even his grandfather Tang San, whose [Unstable Wind and Waves] was invincible, had played no role at all; both he and his halberd were smashed into meat paste…
If even the two Supreme God Kings were so easily blasted apart, what about the others?
Except for the Emotion God King, his uncle-in-Law Dai Yuhao, who had run away from the beginning, he didn’t know if he was dead or alive.
Perhaps because of the immortal nature of his own Dragon God God Position and his powerful cultivation, Lan Xuanyu had luckily left behind a wisp of divine soul.
After the Divinities died out, the two God Realms exploded from the inside out, leaving nothing behind, far exceeding the Divine Planet Ceremony of the [Dragon God Era].
At least the [Dragon God Realm] had left something behind after the Dragon God Rebellion, which became the later Douluo Divine Realm, but that explosion had truly left nothing of the two God Realms.
In such a terrifying explosion, there were no living creatures that could survive…
All the planets in the [Douluo Galaxy] and [Dragon Horse Galaxy] were also completely destroyed in that explosion.
Lan Xuanyu even felt that whether the Falan Galaxy could remain was a question.
He himself was probably because his cultivation was deep enough, and he was relatively lucky, that he had luckily traveled through time and space in that explosion and arrived in this era, surviving.
Whether it was fate or Destiny, the name of this body was also Lan Xuanyu, just an orphan living in a slum, with both parents dead—the classic protagonist template.
But since Lan Xuanyu was reborn in this era, he had discovered a very terrifying thing.
Although he had not yet awakened his Martial Soul, he clearly discovered that the Dragon God Bloodline in his body was gone…
One had to know that the Dragon God God Position, this “unique in the Universe” title, was tied to the Dragon God Bloodline.
If there was no Dragon God Bloodline, it was impossible for him to receive the recognition of the Dragon God, let alone possess the Dragon God God Position.
As for the words the Dragon God himself said about “searching for his successor in the Universe for countless years,” one should just listen to it; who could really believe that?
Without a pure Dragon God Bloodline, where could one go to inherit the Dragon God God Position?
Didn’t you see that the Silver Dragon King or Golden Dragon King didn’t even get a hair of the Dragon God God Position?
“…”
Lan Xuanyu gritted his teeth, trembling.
His powerful strength in his previous life was all achieved through his own hard work and wisdom, but this Dragon God Bloodline was also indispensable.
But now…
it was gone…
everything was gone…
As a Supreme God King, Lan Xuanyu not only possessed super strength, but also the wisdom belonging to a Supreme God King, which was not much different from his grandfather, Tang San, who had the nickname “God of Wisdom.”
Back in the Dragon Horse Galaxy, he used his [Wisdom] to disguise himself as a woman, fooling those Dragon Knights, stealing many Heavenly Nourishing Crystals from Heavenly Dragon Star, and making unparalleled contributions to the prosperity of the Douluo Federation and Douluo Planet!
So Lan Xuanyu understood very well that his Rebirth this time was the Rebirth of a wisp of divine soul, which happened to land on this dying slum boy.
According to research in later generations, the Martial Soul was closely related to one’s own Bloodline and Soul.
No matter how it mutated, the mutated Martial Soul was related to one’s own Bloodline.
Even Yu Xiaogang’s Luo San Pao Martial Soul was a prototype of the Golden Sacred Dragon; Huo Yuhao’s Spirit Eye Martial Soul was also mutated based on the eyes of the [Evil Eyed White Tiger].
Based on this judgment, how could the Dragon God Bloodline appear on him again?
Thinking of this, Lan Xuanyu couldn’t help but miss his real parents.
Of course, not Nan Cheng and Lan Xiao, but Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena.
After collecting information and his own judgment during this period, Lan Xuanyu determined that this era was the era of his aunt, the Butterfly Goddess Tang Wutong, and her husband, the Emotion God King Dai Yuhao.
That is to say, his mother was still there, but his father had not yet been born.
He couldn’t get the Golden Dragon King’s Bloodline for a while, but if he could get his mother Gu Yuena’s Silver Dragon King Bloodline first, he could take off…
However, how could he see his mother?
No, what Lan Xuanyu had to face now was not the problem of whether he could see Gu Yuena.
“Awakening a Martial Soul requires 10 gold coins?!”
Lan Xuanyu’s face stiffened.
Awakening a Martial Soul required a fee?
How had he never heard of that?
Think of him, Lan Xuanyu, who had been Innate full Soul Power since birth, possessed the top-tier Dragon God Bloodline of the Universe, had the Divine Artifact [Heavenly Saint Splitting Abyss Halberd] born with him, and was protected by the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena and the Golden Dragon King Tang Wulin along the way.
Although his growth process was also “full of hardships,” he had overcome them all with his own efforts and extraordinary wisdom.
But he never expected that he would have to worry about how to awaken his Martial Soul now…
10 gold coins!
In this era, that was enough for a normal family’s expenses for ten years!
What kind of terrible era was this?!
Clearly, in his era, one could awaken their Martial Soul at home!
Suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, Lan Xuanyu shouted at the old beggar beside him: “Wait, what about the Spirit Pagoda?
Where did it go?
Didn’t it awaken Martial Souls for Soul Masters for free?
Where is it now?
And the Tang Sect?
Didn’t the Tang Sect distribute the Mysterious Heaven Skill for free?”
The old beggar waved his hand impatiently: “What Spirit Pagoda, what Tang Sect, what kind of messy things are those?!
Where did you hear that from?”
“…”
Lan Xuanyu sat down on the ground in disappointment.
No Tang Sect, no Spirit Pagoda, no Martial Soul Ascension Platform…
Then where was he going to bomb the Martial Soul Ascension Platform…
oh no, absorb the immortal Qi?
And Shrek Academy, he was only 5 years old now, even if he went, they wouldn’t want him.
Thinking about it, Lan Xuanyu couldn’t think of any good solution, so he could only get close to his aunt and uncle first, mooch their Opportunity, and then find a way to find his mother in the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain her Bloodline.
His uncle-in-Law Dai Yuhao was the Son of the Plane of this era.
Although his final achievements were not very high and his status in the Tang Clan was very low, he had still raised the God of Emotion from a First-Class Divinity to a God King under the guidance of his grandfather Tang San, and even eventually became a half-step Supreme God King.
As long as he got close to him, maybe he would have a way to contact his grandfather.
And…
in this era, the 80,000-year-old Xiuxiu had not yet transformed into a human, so he could continue to renew his Destiny with Xiuxiu.
Let’s just do that for now!
