Douluo Continent, Sea God Island.

This was an island in the Douluo Seas, home to the Sea God's guardians, as well as the Sea God's inheritance.

On this day.

The rising sun climbed from the east, sunlight shining over Sea God Island, piercing through the sea's surface and fully proving that the sky was blue and white clouds drifted...

The most mysterious place on Sea God Island, and the place most revered by its residents—Sea God Hall.

A young man's languid figure appeared in Sea God Hall and gradually stepped into the warm sun. His pupils were filled with immortal grace, and every move he made seemed to carry surging fluctuations of Soul Power, leaving people sighing in awe.

Golden light fell across his peerless face. He was like someone who had walked out of a dream, transcendent and refined, noble and elegant.

If there were banished immortals in this world, they still would not compare to him; he could topple the world, yet he himself did not know.

"In the snap of a finger."

"Three years have passed."

In an instant, a warm wind blew over the sea, tossing Su Mutian's flowing hair into disarray, which instead made him look even more like a being from heaven descended to earth.

He sighed slowly and looked toward the Sea God Island residents as they began their busy day.

They hawked goods in the streets and alleys, worked diligently, struggled with all their might...

An illusion!

Only Su Mutian understood in his heart that all of this was an illusion!

Three years ago, Su Mutian had still been an ordinary student, attending an ordinary university, finding a stable job, then muddling through his life for the sake of his mortgage and car loan.

Who would have known that Su Mutian, who slept on the upper bunk, would lose focus when getting up at night and plant headfirst into the floor, dying on the spot.

He had originally thought he would either meet King Yama or the Buddha.

In the end, when he opened his eyes again, Su Mutian nearly got scared into dying a second time.

At that time, a bunch of Titled Douluo from Sea God Island were gathered around him, watching.

Their gazes were lecherous yet cautious, and they kept shouting, "Young God, Young God! Please wake up!"

Of course, at that time, Su Mutian did not know this was Sea God Island in the world of Douluo Continent.

He only learned that later, after he became familiar with things.

He, Su Mutian.

Had transmigrated into Sea God Island's Young God, the Sea God's spokesperson!

He even had a code name very similar to the Sea God Poseidon and High Priest Bo SaixiYoung God Poseinan.

Unexpected or not? Pleasantly surprised or not?

Who could have imagined that Sea God Island actually had a position like Young God!

Aside from the Sea God, he was the highest-ranking existence on Sea God Island!

And those people on Sea God Island who looked like ordinary folk were Spirit Kings and Spirit Sages at every turn, letting Su Mutian fully experience the sinister terror of the human world.

Was a fantasy world supposed to be a joke?

A truly powerful person could sneeze and spray him to death!

For a time, Su Mutian's expression became complicated.

This was why he had never left Sea God Hall in three years.

Say, if he had transmigrated to Douluo Continent, sought refuge with Tang San, developed sneakily, licked his boots when he had nothing else to do, and got himself a founding elder spot in the Tang Sect, wouldn't that have been great?

The hateful part was right here.

He was now the Sea God's spokesperson, and he even had a face that anyone could tell at a glance was no ordinary person's. He looked far more like a protagonist than Tang San did.

With an opening like this, how was he supposed to lower himself and curry favor with Tang San?

Maybe, when Tang San came to Sea God Island in the future to participate in the Sea God's Eight Trials, he would even need Su Mutian to preside over them.

This... should he perhaps put on some airs?

Most importantly, Su Mutian had no idea how far Sea God Island was from Holy Soul Village.

How was he supposed to get there?

Speaking of which, he also had no idea how Tang San was doing now. Had he joined Shrek? Had Xiao Wu sacrificed herself yet?

Tell me, if he struck first and cut off Tang San's path of development, then he would be able to remain Sea God Island's Young God forever.

Wouldn't that also count as an option?

But...

If Tang San's protagonist halo exploded with power, and Su Mutian was counter-killed when the time came, what then?

Aiyo, this really was worrying.

After thinking it over, Su Mutian still felt he should keep cowering. He would absolutely not leave the hall until he reached Limit Douluo, and absolutely not leave the island until he could slaughter gods.

Wouldn't it be beautiful if everyone just lived together peacefully?

However, when he took that step out of Sea God Hall, something appeared in his mind—the Coward God System.

Status panel: Host: Su Mutian Age: ? years old First Martial Soul: Clone Level: 100 (breaking through...) First Spirit Ability: Can bear part of the damage for the main body; Second Spirit Ability: Can launch attacks of a certain strength; Third Spirit Ability: Can be remotely controlled... Seventh Spirit Skill: Clone and main body are no different... Ultimate Skill: Reincarnation Pressure...

"Hah..."

In a flash, winds and clouds surged over Sea God Island, strange phenomena blotted out the sky, and Su Mutian's golden spirit rings all manifested around him.

Then he immediately withdrew them.

At this very moment, this could not be publicized!

Su Mutian looked around and confirmed that no one had seen.

Then he took a deep breath. Never mind that his Martial Soul had finally reached the demigod level.

It merely lacked one divine skill.

But his Martial Soul was somewhat different from other people's.

This Clone Spirit did not have strong offensive or defensive power. It was mainly used for self-preservation.

In other words, its cultivation speed was shockingly fast, but it was extremely useless.

It could only be used to bluff people.

The clones could also cultivate their own Soul Power, and could feed it back to the main body, which was why the speed was so fast on top of fast.

"Sigh, life."

Su Mutian sighed.

However, there was an upside too. A clone's death would only consume Soul Power and would not harm the main body.

This was the purpose behind Su Mutian cowering on Sea God Island all these years.

And in the future, he would keep cowering all the same.

The only restriction was that a clone's strength was limited by the main body.

In other words, although Su Mutian now had the bearing of a demigod, if he truly started fighting, he was just a weakling.

"No divine residence, no powerful Martial Soul, only a Clone Spirit slightly stronger than Naruto's shadow clones. Ah, I'm dead."

Su Mutian sprawled on the ground, listless and dispirited.

Just then.

A voice appeared in Su Mutian's mind:

Congratulations to the host for cowering until demigod level. Beginning to activate other Martial Souls... activating...

Activating second Assault System Martial Soul: Chaos Divine Sword...

Activating third strong control system Martial Soul: Chaos Jade Butterfly...

Activating fourth strong agility system Martial Soul: Chaos Green Lotus...

Activating fifth strong support system Martial Soul: Chaos Pearl...

Activating sixth strong defense system Martial Soul: Chaos Black Yellow Pagoda...

No bottlenecks. Level can be hidden...

Su Mutian was dumbfounded.

Chaos Divine Sword...

Chaos Jade Butterfly...

They sounded like treasures from the primordial creation of the world!

Wait!

Su Mutian sat up from the steps, his eyes lighting up.

This was kind of amazing.

These Martial Souls... combined with his clones... I could fucking fight five on my own!

And that final phrase, "no bottlenecks"...

Su Mutian was delighted.

Did that mean he could level up even without hunting spirit rings?

A golden finger might be late, but it would never be absent.

At last, he finally felt like a protagonist.

All Martial Souls, activate!

A new day had begun again.

He would set a small goal first: raise the Chaos Divine Sword by ten levels!

Just then.

A melodious, pleasant voice rang out, carrying a goddess-like air without losing its grace: "Young God! You broke through again!"

The person who came was none other than someone familiar.

It was Sea God Island's High Priest, Bo Saixi.

That was right, the very same Bo Saixi who would sacrifice herself to help Tang San open the Path to Godhood.

Her entire body was enveloped in a bright red robe. Her sea-blue hair spilled loose, giving off faint wisps of fragrance.

In her right hand, she held a three-meter-tall golden scepter, its whole body engraved with demonic patterns, and a dazzling gemstone set into the scepter's tip.

Her bearing was noble and elegant without losing warmth, especially those eyes, deep and captivating, as though they had seen through ancient and modern times.

But now, as she looked at Su Mutian, her eyes were filled with doting affection, along with incomparable respect.

He was the spokesperson designated by the Sea GodYoung God Poseinan.

A few years ago, she could still barely glimpse the Young God's realm.

But now, the peerless young man before her was wholly like an unfathomable abyss, impossible to figure out.

He must already be the existence closest to the Sea God, right?

Bo Saixi thought this in her heart.

Su Mutian scratched his head. Bo Saixi was probably the person on Sea God Island with the closest relationship to him.

Because of her identity as High Priest, she could often come and go in Sea God Hall. As time passed, they naturally became familiar.

He wanted to ask Bo Saixi whether Sea God Island had any god-level spirit rings stored away.

But he also felt that it would be inappropriate.

What if she found out he was a demigod?

If, in a moment of madness, she wanted to spar with him, and accidentally used too much force and slapped him to death, he would have died unjustly.

Even if, due to status, Bo Saixi did not challenge him, what if she had a loose tongue and told Sea God Island's other elders?

Once word spread, what if some idiot lost his mind and wanted to test how strong a demigod was?

After all, Level 99 was already Limit Douluo.

Once someone stepped into demigod level, they only lacked a God Position before they could become a god and gain eternal life—a truly rare species.

Su Mutian looked at the Sea God Trident and the Sea God statue behind him, silently muttering in his heart, Sea God, I'm sorry...

Then Su Mutian looked kindly toward Bo Saixi. "Saixi, just now, the Sea God's divine soul projection descended and entrusted me with some matters. Perhaps I was touched by the aura of divinity, so I look a little different."

Just this smile made Bo Saixi fall into a daze again.

As expected, the Young God truly deserved to be the guardian designated by Lord Sea God. He was neither arrogant nor impatient, powerful yet restrained.

Most importantly, he was also incredibly handsome!

Su Mutian also did not know how old Bo Saixi was right now, but she definitely had not passed the age of being boy-crazy.

PS: It's been a long time since I read Douluo Continent, and I've forgotten a lot of the content. This is also my first time writing a Douluo fanfic, so if I write anything toxic or unreasonable in terms of plot, please bear with me. Point it out, and I'll try my best to optimize it.

This book's timeline starts from when Tang San's great-grandfather, Tang Chen, and Spirit Hall's Qian Daoliu came to Sea God Island. Some settings have been changed, and some haven't.

Right, the style leans toward comedy, so please don't cling too tightly to the settings~

Lastly, asking for recommendation votes!

Book recommendation: Douluo: Starting as the Sea God Holy Son. The synopsis is as follows:

An AI all-purpose gaming youth transmigrated to Douluo Continent and started as Sea God Island's Holy Son, Bosei Bei, obtaining the God-Bestowed Sea God Martial Soul.

Powerful soul beasts? Titan Giant Ape, Sky Azure Bull Python, Ten Great Fierce Beasts?

Bosei Bei smiled faintly. Behind him, winds and clouds surged, and countless dimensional beasts emerged from countless summoning gates: King Kong, Godzilla, Fenrir, Nine-Headed Dragon, Yamata no Orochi, Kyogre, Rayquaza...

When the Five Great Enforcement Gods were right in front of him, running their mouths, Bosei Bei said, "Sorry, but the Sea God I inherited has another name—the Ultimate Supreme Sea God."

This was the story of Bosei Bei, a peerless youth who obtained the Sea God Soul Beast Contract Summoning System, gradually growing and developing while bringing along a group of super-god-level soul beasts, and evolving the Sea God into the strongest deity.

Douluo, in this era, is destined to be my era!

He doesn't always stick with the group, and has his own plotline. Using Sea God Island as his development base, he dominates Douluo, hammers the original protagonist group, smashes the two great empires, subdues Spirit Hall, and overturns the God Realm...

It's a twin-brother-type book. Everyone, go support it~
