Ding! Heavens Reincarnation System loading... Ding! Unique Choice System loading. Ding! System loaded. Please select the host's first reincarnation world.

A string of voices rang out in his mind. Luo Chuan temporarily gave up trying to recall the memories that had suddenly vanished and focused his attention on the sea of consciousness.

System. Heavens Reincarnation System. Please select the first reincarnation world. Available worlds are as follows: Condor Trilogy World, Shrouding the Heavens World, Mortal's Journey to Immortality World, Douluo Continent World, Battle Through the Heavens World.

"Eh... I choose Douluo Continent!"

Rumor had it that Douluo Continent was filled with beauties. Plenty of shameless webnovel authors loved transmigrating there to satisfy fantasies they could never fulfill in reality.

And now, he had the chance to witness the real Douluo Continent's... well, love, hatred, and entanglements.

Ding! The first reincarnation world has been determined. Unique Choice activated. Please carefully select one of the following identity options. Once selected, it will affect the host's experiences in this lifetime and cannot be changed. Identity A: Reward: Dual Polarity Heavenly Dipper Hammer martial soul + full-body martial soul + innate level-twenty Soul Power + a full set of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bones + "War God Diagram." Identity B: Reward: Twelve-Winged Light Angel martial soul + Twelve-Winged Dark Angel martial soul + innate level-thirty Soul Power + a full set of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings + divine artifact Light and Darkness Angel Holy Sword. Identity C: Reward: Emperor's Heart Technique + level-ninety Soul Power + all Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings + Emperor's Crown martial soul + Emperor's Scepter martial soul + peerless looks. Identity D: Reward: Thirty-Six Grade Three Lives United Lotus martial soul + Sacred Spirit Immaculate Body + "Great Freedom Contemplation Method."

"Heh, this really is a multiple-choice question that concerns one's life." Luo Chuan sighed. Who could avoid multiple-choice questions? Still, weren't these identity options a little too obvious?

"The rewards don't matter. What matters is that I like D!" Without the slightest hesitation, Luo Chuan confirmed his choice.

Ding! Please confirm your choice once again. Once selected, it cannot be changed!

"D!"

Ding! The first lifetime's reincarnation world has been determined. Identity option confirmed. Reincarnation begins.

The system's voice abruptly stopped, and Mo Shang was enveloped by a chaotic energy, falling into a groggy stupor.

Time passed in the blink of an eye. As the sun rose and set, Luo Chuan had grown from a crying infant into a seventeen-year-old youth, ethereal and otherworldly, like an exiled immortal.

Inside a shabby shop, Flender staggered back drunkenly. His antique-looking trench coat snagged on a nail, ripping open with a tearing sound and gaining another hole.

"Sigh, looking like that, you'll never win Liu Erlong." Luo Chuan looked at Flender and sighed. If this old, slovenly fellow had not raised him for more than ten years, Luo Chuan could not be bothered to pay him any attention.

Hearing Luo Chuan's sigh, Flender's sharp gaze instantly fell upon him. "What the hell do you know, brat?!"

Luo Chuan curled his lip. This cowardly fool had been given at least eighty, if not a hundred, strategies for picking up girls, yet he had not managed to properly carry out a single one!

"I'll be satisfied as long as I see her happy." Flender comforted himself.

Yet Luo Chuan immediately spoke the words that left him utterly conflicted. "Then is she happy? Only by entering her heart can you love her. Love her—love her with everything you have. Make her satisfied, and then she'll be happy. Then she'll forget the pain in her heart."

"Yu Xiaogang is my brother."

"Bullshit! He's a coward, a self-righteous piece of trash!"

"Shut up!" Flender's face hardened, but Luo Chuan did not back down in the slightest. "You already know the answer in your heart, don't you? Do you really think he can give Master's Wife Liu happiness? In twenty years, you became a Soul Sage. How many more twenty years do you have left? Happiness is something you fight for yourself. Opportunities are something you seize for yourself. Fate is something you defy the heavens to change yourself!

"It's not too late to regret it now. If you wait another twenty years, then even if you cry, get drunk, or kill yourself, you won't be able to change anything."

How could Flender possibly be drunk? That miser would not even buy strong liquor, and he was a Soul Sage to begin with. It would be strange if he could get drunk.

"You brat, have you become a demon?" Flender's eyes widened. More than once, Luo Chuan had encouraged him, telling him, "If you love her, claim her. Get close to her with all you've got!"

He had thought Luo Chuan was precocious. Yet today, Luo Chuan had spouted a whole heap of words that sounded reasonable at first glance and, upon further thought... were still philosophies of life.

He felt that Luo Chuan was not merely precocious. Still, Flender had indeed begun to waver. Otherwise, he would not have tried Luo Chuan's methods. Over the past two years, he had visited Heaven Dou more and more often, and he had even developed a hint of ambiguity with Liu Erlong. While this thrilled Flender, it also left him somewhat guilty.

Luo Chuan gave Flender a disdainful look, took out two brand-new trench coats from the Soul Tool around his wrist, and said, "How many times have I told you to change your outfit and shave that beard? Doesn't Master's Wife Liu find you disgusting?"

With that, Luo Chuan turned and walked out of the shop. At that very moment, a golden light suddenly bloomed above Douluo Continent. It was as dazzling as the blazing summer sun, illuminating the Douluo Continent, which had been shrouded in night, as brightly as day.

The golden light was so blinding that no one could look directly at it. Yet it quickly drew inward, revealing a golden scroll floating in the sky that everyone could clearly see.

The golden light ignored all obstructions. Even Flender, inside the shop, could gaze directly upon the Golden Ranking.

"This is... the Heavenly Ranking?" Luo Chuan could hardly believe it. Then he called out to the system in his heart. "Damn system, is this your doing?"

Ding! This system only possesses reincarnation and unique-choice functions.

"Then what the hell is this Golden Ranking?" Luo Chuan grumbled. A Golden Ranking—what a familiar term. It seemed he had seen it in plenty of novels.

Yet just as Luo Chuan thought the system would continue denying it, the system suddenly issued a series of warnings.

Warning. The system has received a provocation from the Heavenly Dao and will retaliate!

"Holy shit!" Luo Chuan's eyes widened. What was this? A battle between immortals? The system was fighting the Heavenly Dao?

However, after issuing that one warning, the system fell silent. It was probably off having a chat with the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Ranking continued floating in the air. Luo Chuan frowned, feeling that it had come with ill intent. Somewhere deep within, he had the vague feeling that it was targeting him.

At this moment, countless people all across Douluo Continent raised their heads to stare at the golden scroll that had descended from the heavens, waiting for the moment it opened.

The golden scroll floated high in the nine heavens, yet it was clearly visible. After a full half hour, the scroll slowly unfurled from right to left, and lines of text came clearly into view.

"The Heavenly Ranking opens, listing the forty-nine Soul Masters with the greatest talent. All who enter the ranking shall receive rewards from the Heavenly Dao!"

Ding! Hostile intent from the Heavenly Dao detected. Shielding all heavenly secrets related to the host! Ranking Massacre System module loading.

"So you do have other functions after all. If the Heavenly Ranking hadn't appeared, you wouldn't have let me use them, right..."

The Golden Ranking continued to unfold, but Luo Chuan had no interest in watching it. Instead, he grumbled to the system in his heart, What a joke... is this your counterattack? You're making me massacre the ranking?

The system did not respond. It was unknown whether it was still chatting with the Heavenly Dao. Luo Chuan gradually shifted his attention to the Heavenly Ranking.

PS: If anyone has different opinions about the Heavenly Dao Ranking, please leave a reply in the review section. There are many rankings in the review section, so everyone, feel free to speak up...

I heard everyone who made it this far is handsome? I... believed it.
