The Beginning of Everything

Let's hide here.

Tang Hao, covered in wounds after a fierce battle, looked at the infant in his arms.

He chose to live in seclusion in the small village known as Holy Soul Village.

At the same time, a humanoid figure of light silently slipped into the Soul Land Plane.

Even the Divine Realm could not detect his arrival.

The next moment, he instantly appeared above Douluo Continent.

With a sweep of his divine sense, the situation across Douluo Continent became clear at a glance.

There are still six years before the main story officially begins.

The urgent priority is to replenish some Votive Power. I can also make some arrangements in advance to make future harvesting easier.

The humanoid figure quickly spotted Tang Hao, who had just entered Holy Soul Village, as well as the infant Tang San in his arms.

Without hesitation, he immediately made a decision suited to the current situation.

His name was Su Ming, and he was a transmigrator.

Traveling to Douluo Continent was not Su Ming's first transmigration.

By chance, he had once transmigrated into a fictional historical novel and obtained a cheat.

Collect Votive Power!

As for how to collect Votive Power?

Through his exploration in the previous world, Su Ming had already more or less figured it out.

Find the Children of Fortune and plot characters of that world, then kill them directly to harvest Votive Power.

The more important the character, the more Votive Power could be harvested.

However, that method was nothing more than a one-time deal, pure killing the goose that laid the golden eggs.

The proper method was to take part, alter the original plot, and make the original plot characters undergo all kinds of changes and emotions.

This would not only allow him to continuously harvest Votive Power from those plot characters.

If such changes benefited the entire plane, Su Ming could also harvest another batch of Votive Power from the plane itself.

Getting two benefits from one fish, with a steady and lasting flow, was the proper path!

These were conclusions Su Ming had gradually explored and tested in his previous world.

Now that he had arrived in the Soul Land Plane, it was the perfect time to try them out.

The effects of Votive Power were utterly outrageous!

With words becoming reality, he could create everything in the world and do anything!

It was no exaggeration to say that as long as he had enough Votive Power, Su Ming would be a Creator God!

Possessing Votive Power was equivalent to possessing everything.

This time, traveling to the Soul Land Plane and concealing himself from the Divine Realm had cost Su Ming an enormous amount of Votive Power.

So, in the Soul Land Plane, he intended to harvest properly.

Let's begin.

As soon as he decided, he acted. After recalling the plot of Douluo Continent 1 once more, Su Ming began his plan.

His plan was simple: create one Alter Ego after another, have them join the factions from the original work, cross paths with the plot characters, and wildly alter the entire story!

Alter Ego was a unique divine ability Su Ming had created in his previous world.

It could be understood simply as creating alternate identities.

Without this ability, he would have had no way to carry out his next mad plan.

These incarnations were all created based on characters from anime and film in Su Ming's memories.

His remaining Votive Power was rapidly consumed as one Alter Ego after another was created.

They transformed into balls of light and flew into Douluo Continent.

Spirit City, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Shrek Academy, the Heaven Dou Royal Family, the Star Luo Royal Family, the Nether Duke's Mansion, Sea God Island, Heaven Dou Royal Academy...

Su Ming carefully arranged matters in every familiar faction from the original work.

As for himself, he transformed into an infant and descended into Holy Soul Village.

Tang San would still have his plot changed personally by him.

While influencing and changing Tang San's personality, Tang San, as the protagonist of Douluo Continent 1, would surely provide an enormous amount of Votive Power.

"Why is there a baby here?"

After receiving and settling the newly arrived blacksmith Tang Hao, Old Jack was preparing to return home and continue sleeping.

On his way home, he discovered an abandoned infant by the roadside.

After waiting and waiting, only to find that no one came, Old Jack's compassion was stirred. He chose to adopt the adorable infant.

Time flew by, and six years passed in the blink of an eye.

At daybreak, two small figures suddenly appeared atop a little hill barely a hundred meters tall beside Holy Soul Village.

Two children, around five or six years old, were engaged in an intense spar.

Whether in terms of strength or combat techniques, even some adults could not compare to them.

In fact, the vast majority of adults were no match for them.

"Brother Ming, your strength has grown again!"

After a round of fighting, the ordinary-looking boy was the first to stop.

Because he was about to reach his limit.

Seeing Tang San stop and admit defeat, the boy named Su Ming also withdrew his hand.

Feeling the slight increase in Votive Power within his body, Su Ming spoke calmly.

"This is merely an insignificant bit of progress. Little San, you still need more training."

Faced with such a shamelessly boastful remark, combined with the other boy's rate of improvement over the past few years, Tang San ultimately chose silence.

In his eyes, even the word genius was insufficient to describe Su Ming.

Despite possessing many supreme techniques, such as the Mysterious Heaven Skill, he could not defeat Su Ming, who was supposedly an "ordinary person."

Only the word monster barely suited him.

This was also one of the important reasons why, after being reborn into this world, Tang San had been willing to interact with Su Ming and willingly call him Brother Ming.

"Little San, today is the day of Spirit Awakening. We should head back early."

After resting for a while, Su Ming looked at the sky and prepared to return home.

"Alright, Brother Ming. I'll head back first to make breakfast for Dad."

Tang San nodded, having no objections.

After bidding Su Ming farewell, he ran down the mountain.

Using the movement technique Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Tang San moved across the ground as though walking on level terrain, racing forward at high speed.

The plot is finally about to begin!

Watching Tang San's figure grow increasingly blurred in the distance, Su Ming did not hurry to leave.

Over the past six years, relying on the Alter Egos he had placed in advance, Su Ming had harvested a considerable amount of Votive Power.

Now that the plot had begun, the Votive Power he could harvest next would surge dramatically.

Now, he needed to design martial souls for himself and his Alter Egos who had yet to undergo Spirit Awakening.

Another massive amount of Votive Power was consumed.

Su Ming designed one special martial soul after another.

These martial souls were basically designed according to the characteristics of each Alter Ego.

They were a perfect match!

When the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition began, it would be the moment for these Alter Egos to shine!

The appearance of these martial souls would absolutely shock all of Douluo Continent.

Their arrival!

Their battles!

Would help Su Ming harvest Votive Power from all of Douluo Continent!

After finishing everything, Su Ming also left the little hill, preparing for the upcoming Spirit Awakening.

This was also a perfect opportunity to harvest Votive Power, and Su Ming naturally would not miss it.

After making all these preparations, he left and went home for breakfast.

Su Ming, who returned home on time every day, naturally got to eat the breakfast Old Jack had prepared for him.

At this moment, Su Yuntao, the deacon of the Spirit Hall branch in Nuoding City, was nearly at Holy Soul Village, ready to conduct the Spirit Awakening ceremony there.
