Metamorphosis

"Splash!"

Zhao Xuan fell from the sky, dropping straight into a lake. The icy water instantly enveloped him, and caught off guard, Zhao Xuan gulped down several mouthfuls.

"Ptooey!" He quickly surfaced, spitting out the lake water he hadn't swallowed. Any more and his stomach would be full.

Reaching the shore, Zhao Xuan shook off the water and looked around in confusion. "Where... where am I?"

Night had fallen deep. Stars twinkled in the sky, and a bright silver moon hung overhead. Before him lay a small lake. A gentle breeze rippled the moon's reflection on the water, creating shimmering waves. The surrounding trees cast deep shadows, and fireflies danced gracefully.

Zhao Xuan felt utterly lost. Where had that Titan Giant Ape slapped him to?!

"I wonder if Xiao Wu is okay," Zhao Xuan thought worriedly, wishing he could cultivate to the Title Douluo realm sooner and return to slap that Titan Giant Ape to death.

He checked his body. His ribs were likely broken, but otherwise, he seemed fine.

Still, even a single broken rib hurt terribly.

"Damn it, this really hurts!"

Zhao Xuan sat down by the lake, leaning against a large tree. His left ribs throbbed with a piercing pain.

He looked around. The surroundings were pitch black, giving off a somewhat eerie and terrifying feeling.

Zhao Xuan couldn't help but sigh. Then, enduring the pain, he sat cross-legged and began to recover his Soul Power.

He slowly closed his eyes. His vision was filled with darkness. But just as Zhao Xuan settled his mind to recover, he felt a tremor in his mind, as if something was breaking through a seal.

Suddenly, a flash of purple light streaked past.

Zhao Xuan's eyes snapped open, and he looked around, but there was nothing there.

"An illusion?" he murmured, frowning.

He cautiously scanned his surroundings, but still, nothing unusual happened.

His thoughts raced. Zhao Xuan suddenly clutched the purple mark on his forehead, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Could it be... it?"

This mark hadn't been there initially. It only gradually appeared after Zhao Xuan awakened his Martial Soul. It had emerged silently. If the color hadn't deepened, Zhao Xuan might not have even known it was there.

To confirm his suspicion, Zhao Xuan closed his eyes again.

The moment he closed his eyes, the purple light reappeared, flashing through the darkness.

Zhao Xuan instantly captured the form of the purple light. It was a divine lightning!

Zhao Xuan was stunned. A distant memory gradually surfaced.

"It's that divine lightning I saw back then!"

Zhao Xuan suddenly remembered the void rift that tore through the sky when he died in his previous life. That purple divine lightning had flashed within it.

Furthermore, when he fell into that chaotic realm, he had been struck by this purple divine lightning.

"How did this thing get inside me?"

Zhao Xuan felt a headache coming on. He had only been in the chaotic realm for a few seconds, but the pain he experienced was unforgettable. Even recalling it now made him tremble all over!

Besides the boundless chaos constantly crushing his soul, the free-floating purple divine lightning would strike him from time to time. At the time, it felt as if his entire soul was being torn apart.

As Zhao Xuan pondered, the purple divine lightning he perceived in his consciousness began to change. Immediately, he felt a sudden clench in his heart, and the flow of Blood Essence throughout his body stopped.

Zhao Xuan was filled with shock and confusion.

The purple divine lightning suddenly transformed into a dazzling purple-gold rune and disappeared into the vast darkness. It then gradually appeared in his mind.

At that instant, Zhao Xuan's heart resumed its beating, the thumping sounds so loud they could be heard. With each heartbeat, the Blood Essence in his body flowed rapidly, coursing through his fragile blood vessels.

He could even faintly hear a "whooshing" sound, like water flowing.

Zhao Xuan's entire body began to ache violently. The purple-gold runes in his mind appeared in every corner of his body with the flow of blood. However, the rapidly flowing blood damaged the blood vessel walls.

The purple-gold runes possessed a strange divinity. Wherever a blood vessel was broken, the purple-gold runes filled and repaired it. In this give and take, Zhao Xuan's entire body began to emit a faint purple-gold glow, appearing exceptionally sacred from afar.

But Zhao Xuan was not feeling well. The surging blood made his scalp tingle, and his mind was hazy. He even felt his senses becoming intermittent, as if he were gradually becoming blind! Deaf! Mute!

Zhao Xuan panicked.

A layer of fine blood beads appeared on the pores of his skin, mixed with faint black impurities. Tiny runes suddenly appeared all over his skin.

"Pfft!"

Zhao Xuan couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, which smelled incredibly foul. After spitting it out, he felt his entire body become light and airy.

Zhao Xuan's consciousness grew hazy. He could feel his body undergoing further transformation, but the pain from all parts of him was unbearable.

His Soul Power seemed to have no effect during this transformation, completely suppressed by the divine purple-gold runes.

In his hazy, chaotic consciousness, the purple-gold runes gradually occupied Zhao Xuan's entire body. Small purple lightning snakes flickered continuously on his skin, like playful foals galloping around.

"Sizzle!"

A dazzling purple-gold divine lightning suddenly flashed through his consciousness, its aura as shocking as the creation of the world.

As the divine lightning flashed, his muddled consciousness dispersed, and the boundless chaos receded. Simultaneously, a purple-gold light, starting from a tiny point, began to expand, carving out the boundless chaos and forming its own space.

Zhao Xuan's consciousness gradually began to awaken. When he opened his eyes, he saw pure purple-gold, surrounded by ethereal chaos.

In the center of the purple-gold region within the chaos was a small figure, looking as if it were carved from the same mold as himself. However, it was young, with a round head and face, a lightning-shaped mark on its forehead, and a pair of curious, wide eyes.

Zhao Xuan felt a strange sensation, as if he were looking at this small figure, yet it also felt like the small figure was him.

A flash of insight struck him, and Zhao Xuan hesitantly thought, "Nascent Soul?"

The small figure's expression changed, its brows furrowed slightly in a look of hesitation. With a thought, Zhao Xuan's vision seemed to shift, but since there was only one color, purple-gold, all around, he couldn't tell.

However, looking down, he saw he had hands and feet, adorably plump.

Zhao Xuan understood; it was a wisp of his divine sense that had been observing the Nascent Soul just now.

The surroundings were vast and empty, utterly desolate. As for the chaos beyond, it was a realm of dead silence.

This seemed to be... the Sea of Consciousness?! And his current state was... Nascent Soul?!

Zhao Xuan was stunned. How had he inexplicably opened up his Sea of Consciousness?

He couldn't figure it out. In a moment of clarity, he seemed to recall something.

With a wave of the Nascent Soul's hand, a Mobile Phone and a Computer appeared on either side, Zhao Xuan's items of connection.

But to Zhao Xuan now, these two objects seemed somewhat peculiar, as if they were more than just Martial Souls.

On the right was the Computer, but as Zhao Xuan looked at it, the word "Creation" inexplicably popped into his mind. On the left was the Mobile Phone, and as he looked at it, the word "Myriad Things" appeared in his consciousness.

Frowning, Zhao Xuan felt a sense of confusion. There were simply too many mysteries surrounding this transformation!

Suddenly, Zhao Xuan's consciousness stirred, returning to his physical body. He once again felt the presence of his body and Soul Power. His body was countless times stronger than before, and his Soul Power seemed to have surged dramatically, yet it felt insignificant compared to his strengthened physique.

Zhao Xuan had no time to dwell on the changes. His scattered divine sense seemed to have caught some movement.

He looked towards a patch of forest to his side, waiting to see what would happen.

(ps: This book has no outline, so some things will need to be filled in slowly.)

(ps: The author's conception is that if this book is to be completed, events in the later stages of Douluo will inevitably need to be touched upon. The later stages of Douluo feature the appearance of gods, but the author does not want the protagonist to become a god in the manner of Douluo Continent.

The protagonist himself carries a certain chaotic demon god nature, just not perfectly. After all, every chaotic demon god has their own fundamental Great Dao. This time, the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning that had always remained within the protagonist has been integrated into his body, perfecting his chaotic demon god nature.

As for the two Martial Souls, they can be regarded as the protagonist's accompanying spiritual treasures as a chaotic demon god.

The Computer, also known as a calculator, is inherently used for calculation and deduction, so the author has endowed it with the nature of "Creation." It should not have particularly strange Soul Skills, only the function of creation, such as deducing things, or even deducing Soul Rings without hunting Soul Beasts.

The Mobile Phone, on the other hand, will largely utilize its current functions, such as communication, entertainment, news, shopping, etc. Many things can be seen and done on a mobile phone, so the author has endowed it with the characteristic of "Myriad Things" due to its many functions, and also because they couldn't think of a better word to describe it, cough cough...

The protagonist's first three Soul Skills will primarily draw from the characteristics of mobile phone signals and telecommunication fraud. The fourth skill is planned to utilize the camera function.

Therefore, in the future, the protagonist should primarily fight using his physical body and the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning, with various Soul Skills derived from the mobile phone serving as support, and the computer purely for assistance. The Purple Heaven Divine Lightning can also be considered a Martial Soul, as there might be variations in its techniques. However, since this is a fanfiction of Douluo, regardless of the feeling, it must adhere to the Douluo feel, including combat. But it might occasionally deviate from the Douluo feel. Apologies.)

That's how it is, no complaints if you don't like it! Discussions and suggestions are welcome, and the author will capriciously adopt them! I'll say it again, if you complain, I'll shut down. I'll really shut down. The author thinks they have a strong mentality but is actually very weak, cough cough...

You can see that the author also has a book written years ago that was abandoned. This one is similar, written on impulse, but this time with the support of many readers, so it won't easily die.
