Initial Arrival in Battle Through the Heavens, Encountering Xun'er

After a dizzying whirl, Lin Yu opened his eyes to find himself in an entirely different world. The sky was a flawless blue, the air carried a faint fragrance, and the gentle murmur of a river reached his ears. He was lying on a patch of grass.

"What the hell is going on?!"

Lin Yu looked around in horror. Before him stretched endless mountains and rivers, while several enormous bird-like creatures soared freely through the sky. This was clearly another world.

Lin Yu stood frozen for a moment before breaking into a grin. "I really came to the Battle Through the Heavens plane the system mentioned!"

He looked down at his hands. They were tender and brand-new. Huh? Why are my hands so small? Thinking of something unpleasant, Lin Yu hurriedly got to his feet. Seeing his two short little legs, he froze again, then ran to the nearby river and crouched down. Reflected in the water was an unfamiliar, childish face, about five or six years old. So kawaii.

"I... turned into a child?!" Lin Yu cried out in shock.

"System, what's going on?"

The system's cold voice sounded once more.

"This is rebirth. The former you will cease to exist in this world. This is the host's innermost wish."

So that was it. Fine, there was nothing worth missing in that world anyway. Since he was here, he would make the best of it. Since this was a new life, he would live this one properly.

After thinking it through, Lin Yu washed his face with river water and slowly stood up. He needed to figure out the current situation first. This world was a dangerous one.

"System, how long until the Battle Through the Heavens storyline begins? How old is Xiao Yan now?"

"The Battle Through the Heavens storyline has not yet begun. Xiao Yan is currently only seven years old."

As a transmigrator from the twenty-first century who had thoroughly read Battle Through the Heavens, Lin Yu naturally knew that Xiao Yan was also a transmigrator.

That meant Xiao Yan had not yet obtained the ring containing Yao Chen. Xiao Yan was the Son of the Plane of this world. I need to build a good relationship with him. Yeah, that's the plan. The system's mission for me is to open a shop, but what kind of shop? Forget it, I'll think about that later. First, I should head to Wutan City.

"System, where am I?"

"This is the Monster Beast Mountain Range."

"Damn it, the Monster Beast Mountain Range? At my current level, even a random first-rank magical beast would finish me off! System, don't I have some kind of newbie gift pack?"

"Yes, Host."

"Why didn't you take it out earlier?"

"The Host did not ask. Why should I have told you?"

"Then how do I use the newbie gift pack?"

"The Host only needs to silently recite 'open' in your heart."

"Open."

Four balls of light appeared before Lin Yu.

Dou Huang Experience Card ×3 (Grants peak Dou Huang combat strength upon use. Duration: three days)

Physique: Chaos Immortal Body (Ye Chen's physique from the novel Saint Emperor)

Asura Demon Sword (The super divine artifact used by Tang San in the novel Douluo Continent)

Bloodline: Ancestral Dragon Bloodline (The bloodline inherited by Long Chen in the novel Dragon Blood God)

"Damn, the Chaos Immortal Body! The Chaos Immortal Body is formed from the fusion of two god-tier physiques, the Chaos Body and the Immortal Body. The Chaos Body has an invincible physical body; every cell and drop of essence blood in it can be considered a treasure. The Immortal Body has incredibly high comprehension, is naturally close to the Dao, and makes cultivation twice as effective with half the effort. Damn, this is good stuff! System, how do I use the physique?"

"The Host only needs to silently recite 'use physique.'"

"Use physique!"

The instant he spoke, a beam of holy light descended from the heavens and shone upon Lin Yu. "Ah!" Lin Yu cried out in pain.

The energy within the holy light surged wildly into Lin Yu's body, transforming it.

Lin Yu felt pain unlike anything he had ever experienced. Violent energy tore through his flesh, shredding his clothes along with it. His body was ripped apart again and again, then continuously reassembled. The process was unimaginably agonizing. Lin Yu collapsed onto the grass in pain, and the blood flowing from his torn flesh dyed the grass red. Before long, he fainted.

Several thousand kilometers away, a golden giant bird flew through the sky. The golden bird constantly emitted an aura of majesty, and every flap of its wings carried it forward hundreds of kilometers.

The bird gave off the impression of an emperor, yet there were three people standing on the back of this emperor-like creature. It was clear that their identities were far from ordinary.

At the bird's head stood a middle-aged man holding a little girl. A terrifying aura radiated from him, and every movement of his seemed to stir the power of heaven and earth, as though he were about to merge with the world itself. Yet he was still short by the slightest fraction.

The girl in the middle-aged man's arms slept with her eyes closed. One glance was enough to tell that she would grow into a great beauty. Two thin tear tracks remained on her cheeks, making it clear that she had just been crying, though no one knew why.

Behind the middle-aged man stood a hunched old man. He stood stiffly, not daring to make the slightest movement, his gaze toward the man before him filled with reverence and worship.

Suddenly, a beam of holy light descended not far ahead. It was visible for thousands of miles around, and the sacred aura it radiated was exceptionally dense.

"Clan Leader..." the hunched old man said respectfully to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man gestured for the old man to remain silent, then closed his eyes and sensed it. Though his expression remained calm, he could not conceal the excitement in his heart.

"Hahaha! Go over there! That may be my opportunity to advance to Dou Di!"

"Father?" The little girl in the middle-aged man's arms struggled upright, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and looked at him in confusion.

At that moment, the middle-aged man's attention was wholly focused on the pillar of light, and he did not respond to the girl in his arms. Seeing that her father ignored her, the girl looked at him with a wronged expression, appearing exceptionally adorable.

In less than a few breaths, the group arrived beneath the pillar of light and saw the naked Lin Yu. He was still unconscious. His physique had already finished transforming, and with the system's assistance, his bloodline had also been successfully replaced.

The group stopped before Lin Yu. Looking at the boy lying facedown on the ground, the middle-aged man's eyes were filled with shock.

"Why is this child's bloodline power so powerful? It even seems faintly stronger than Xun'er's."

The old man behind the middle-aged man was equally astonished, his face filled with shock. He could sense the majesty of Lin Yu's bloodline—it was even stronger than the bloodline power within the middle-aged man before him. Like that of a natural-born emperor.

Seeing her father and the old man muttering to themselves, Xiao Xun'er curiously looked toward Lin Yu. Lin Yu was lying there completely naked, and the moment Xiao Xun'er looked at him, her face flushed bright red. She hurriedly covered her eyes with both hands, though she still left a tiny gap between her fingers to secretly peek through.

Lin Yu slowly woke up. He was wholly focused on feeling the abundant power within his body, overjoyed and incredibly excited, completely unaware of the people beside him.

He then declared boldly, "Hahaha, this feels amazing! I feel like I'm bursting with power right now—I'm going to overthrow the heavens!"

It sounded incredibly domineering, but to everyone else, those babyish words were simply adorable.

The three people beside Lin Yu could not help but laugh.

Xiao Xun'er thought to herself: What an adorable big brother. How is he even cuter than Xun'er?

Only then did Lin Yu notice the three people around him. He immediately looked at them warily, completely failing to realize that he was stark naked.

It was summer, so he did not feel cold even without clothes.

"Who are you?"

The three exchanged glances and kept laughing. Lin Yu frowned deeply, thinking: These people aren't idiots, are they?

At that moment, the middle-aged man spoke. "Little friend, you should put on some clothes first."

"Hm?"

Lin Yu lowered his head in confusion and discovered that little Lin Yu was swaying in the breeze. Remembering that there was a girl present, his face instantly turned red. He hurriedly asked the system for a set of clothes and clumsily put them on.

Before long, Lin Yu had dressed himself. Looking embarrassed, he said, "I'm dressed now. Can you tell me who you are?"

Now that Lin Yu had put on clothes, he looked even cuter. The middle-aged man set Xiao Xun'er down, looked at Lin Yu, and said, "My name is Gu Yuan. What about you, little friend?" As he spoke, he walked closer and reached out to pinch Lin Yu's little cheek.

"Uh..." Lin Yu looked utterly helpless. Thinking about his own kawaii face, even he wanted to pinch it. How could they possibly resist?

"I... I... My name is Lin Yu."

"So your name is Lin Yu. Then where did little Lin Yu come from, and where are you going?"

Lin Yu looked at the middle-aged man before him and thought: Gu Yuan... Gu... Yuan. Holy shit, this old guy is the Ancient Clan's patriarch. He's over a thousand years old! Then that little girl is Xiao Xun'er? And that old man is Ling Ying? From the looks of it, Gu Yuan is taking Xiao Xun'er to the Xiao Family. The plot is about to begin. I can go with them—under this pretext, I can enter the Xiao Family openly and without any trouble. That'll save me a lot of hassle.

"I came from Earth, and I don't know where I'm going either. I woke up from a nap and suddenly appeared here." That was not exactly a lie. He really had come here from Earth. Lin Yu simply was not foolish enough to reveal the system.

"Earth? What kind of place is that?"

"Earth is just Earth. You've never been there?" Lin Yu asked, pretending to be confused.

"Little friend, can you tell me about the place where you lived?"

"Um... where I'm from, we have... we have... um, huge airplanes! They can carry several hundred people, and you can sit inside them and fly—fly really, really high! My family even has one." Lin Yu secretly laughed to himself. I'll fool you to death, hehe.

Gu Yuan thought to himself: A magical artifact capable of carrying hundreds of people... and whoever operates it must be formidable as well. This boy's family even owns one. It seems his clan is anything but ordinary.

Though he thought that, he still smiled warmly at Lin Yu and said, "That truly is impressive. Do you have any other impressive things?"

"Yes, yes! There's another kind of weapon. My mother told me about it. That weapon is incredibly powerful. With just a few of them, you can blow up an area spanning tens of millions of kilometers. Mother also said our country has hundreds of those weapons. As long as you're from our country, you don't have to be afraid no matter where you are. Our country will always support us from behind!"

Gu Yuan was alarmed. Truly formidable. Just a few could destroy tens of millions of kilometers of land. How much power would that require? And they have hundreds of them? Perhaps just a few would be enough to wipe out the Ancient Clan. Seeing how powerful this boy's bloodline was, his parents likely held high positions within their clan. He needed to befriend him as much as possible.

With that thought in mind, he smiled and said to Lin Yu, "Hehe... your family is truly impressive, little friend. You have nowhere to go now, right?"

"Yes. The moment I woke up, I was here. I miss home so much..." Lin Yu said pitifully. Coupled with his kawaii appearance, he instantly made everyone feel sorry for him.

Seeing Lin Yu like that, Gu Yuan felt a pang of heartache. He pinched Lin Yu's cheek and said, "Then why don't you follow us from now on? Come, let me introduce you. I also picked up this little girl on the road. Her name is Xun'er."

Hearing that, Xiao Xun'er walked over to Lin Yu. When she reached him, she extended her fair little hand.

"Hello! My name is Gu... oh, Xiao Xun'er."

Lin Yu took Xiao Xun'er's hand. It felt slightly cool and wonderfully soft, and he could not resist giving it a little squeeze.

"My name is Lin Yu. Nice to meet you!"

Lin Yu carefully examined the girl before him. As expected of a female lead—she was already so beautiful at such a young age. It was obvious she would grow into a great beauty.

Xiao Xun'er noticed Lin Yu's gaze. Looking at his childish little face, so adorable yet carrying a trace of handsomeness, she could not help but blush. She released Lin Yu's hand and turned her head away.

(I won't write Ling Ying. He's too difficult to write!)

"Alright, I'll send you both to a friend's clan. You'll live there from now on!" Gu Yuan stepped forward and said.

The group boarded the great bird and flew toward the Xiao Family. Knowing that someone would accompany her on this mission, Xiao Xun'er felt a little secretly delighted.

On the great bird, Xiao Xun'er clung to Lin Yu and asked him to tell her stories. Lin Yu told her fairy tales from Earth. Xiao Xun'er listened intently, sometimes quietly sobbing and sometimes beaming with joy.
