Douluo Continent, Star Luo Empire.
Frostwind City, Frostwind Junior Soul Master Academy, dormitory.
A boy of about six or seven, dressed in coarse clothes, with delicate features and a hint of baby fat, gazed at the light screen suspended in midair and let out a long sigh.
"Finally... it's happening."
He murmured to himself.
A virtual panel hung in midair before him:
[Incarnation Game fully loaded. Would the host like to create an incarnation character now?]
[Yes]/[No]
"Confirm creation!"
Without hesitation, Lu Lin used his thoughts to tap the virtual button and create an incarnation.
Six years ago, Lu Lin had transmigrated to Douluo Continent, only to discover that he'd landed in a hopeless situation.
Lu Lin was born in a small village of only a few hundred people in the southern part of the Star Luo Empire.
Not long after he was born, most of the villagers, including his parents, were killed by an Evil Soul Master named Tang Fozi, becoming sacrifices for Tang Fozi's advancement to Titled Douluo.
By the time a Titled Douluo from Shrek and members of the Star Luo Empire's law enforcement squad arrived, the Evil Soul Master had already fled.
Lu Lin, still a swaddled infant at the time, was the sole survivor.
Afterward, Lu Lin was sent to the Empire's orphanage in Frostwind City, in the southern part of the Star Luo Empire.
On Douluo Continent, everyone awakened their martial soul at the age of six.
The only difference was whether they awakened Soul Power and stepped into the extraordinary.
When Lu Lin awakened his martial soul, his Innate Soul Power was only level four, and his martial soul was a Plant System Martial Soul called Pure Fire Green Lotus.
After that, government officials arranged for Lu Lin to enroll in Frostwind Junior Soul Master Academy.
Lu Lin had only one goal in this life.
To kill the Evil Soul Master Tang Fozi with his own hands and avenge his parents!
But during the years he spent at the orphanage, Lu Lin discovered there was something wrong with the world he lived in.
It was indeed Douluo Continent, but the timeline was nine thousand years after the Spirit Hall's destruction and a thousand years before the events of Absolute Tang Dynasty began.
If he had to put it simply, it was Douluo 1.9.
This discovery left Lu Lin helpless, because it meant his knowledge of the plot was completely useless.
To make matters worse, after awakening his martial soul, his Innate Soul Power was only level four.
That talent was decidedly mediocre.
After all, Tang Fozi had already become a Titled Douluo six years ago.
And Evil Soul Masters cultivated far faster than ordinary people. By the time Lu Lin came of age, Tang Fozi would only be even stronger.
His chances of revenge were practically nonexistent.
As for relying on Soul Tools to get revenge, Lu Lin dismissed the idea as soon as it came to mind.
For one thing, this wasn't the era of Absolute Tang Dynasty yet, and people on Douluo Continent didn't pay much attention to Soul Tools.
Besides, Lu Lin suspected that even in the Sun Moon Empire, Soul Tool technology hadn't made any groundbreaking advances yet.
What's more, he couldn't go to Sun Moon Continent for the time being.
Fortunately, there was always a way out.
A few days ago, a virtual panel had suddenly appeared before Lu Lin. It was this so-called Incarnation Game.
But the panel hadn't fully activated until today.
"Confirm creation!"
As Lu Lin tapped the button with his thoughts, the light points on the panel turned into a line of blue text.
[Modifying reality... Creating incarnation game character... Incarnation created.]
[Incarnation Character One]
[Name: Ji Ming.]
[Gender: Male.]
[Age: Six years old.]
[Soul Power Level: Level 10 (Innate Full Soul Power)]
[Martial Soul One: Dark Demon Dreadclaw Bear]
[Martial Soul Two: Necromancer's Heavy Eyes]
[Background: You live in a small city in the eastern part of the Heaven Dou Empire. You are an orphan.
When you awakened your martial soul, you awakened Twin Martial Souls and had Innate Full Soul Power. Because you possess the Body Martial Soul "Necromancer's Heavy Eyes," the one who helped you awaken your martial soul was an elder of the Body Sect. They are currently taking you to the Body Sect...]
[Main Quest One]: Win the championship at the Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.
[Main Quest Two]: Advance to Titled Douluo and obtain a red hundred-thousand-year soul ring.
[Incarnation Character Two]
[Name: Yu Wufan.]
[Gender: Male]
[Age: Six years old]
[Innate Soul Power Level: Level 10 (Innate Full Soul Power)]
[Martial Soul One: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon]
[Martial Soul Two: Not yet awakened.]
[Background: The world has changed, and nine thousand years have passed. The Blue Lightning Hegemon Sect is gone, but this martial soul has still been passed down through bloodline.
Your martial soul mutated during its awakening, becoming the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul, with a chance to evolve into the Holy Light Dragon, which possesses the ultimate light attribute.
Your second martial soul has yet to awaken. Awakening method: Any Soul Beast you personally kill can be chosen to become your martial soul.]
[Main Quest One]: Spread your bloodline and restore the glory of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, with more than three direct descendants who possess the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul.
[Main Quest Two]: Evolve your martial soul into the Holy Light Dragon and break through to Titled Douluo.
[Additional Information 1: When the host logs into an incarnation character, the host's original body will fall asleep.
The incarnation character will not develop "consciousness."
When the host's consciousness leaves the incarnation, the panel will automatically carry out the "idle" command. The incarnation will perform the minimum necessary actions according to the host's instructions and its instincts.
The host may also choose to split their "consciousness" and control both their original body and the incarnation at the same time.]
[Additional Information 2: Incarnation characters have independent "main storylines."
The death of an incarnation will have no effect on the host's original body, but the incarnation cannot be revived, nor can a new incarnation character be created.
The original body cannot share an incarnation character's attributes or level.
Once any one main quest is completed, if the incarnation dies, the original body may inherit the incarnation character's cultivation, level, martial souls, and soul rings (the host may choose to inherit some or all of them)]
[Supplement: The host's original body can possess up to three martial souls.]
[Host's level for creating a new incarnation character next time: Level 30.]
Twin Martial Souls? Innate Full Soul Power? The Body Sect?
Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon?
After reading through his incarnation character profiles, Lu Lin fell into thought.
Both characters were pretty good.
Actually, compared to his original body, these two incarnations seemed more like the main-character templates from Douluo webnovels.
A moment later, Lu Lin made his choice.
[You have selected Incarnation Character One, Ji Ming.]
The reason he chose Ji Ming was simple: the Body Sect.
Yu Wufan's second martial soul required him to kill a Soul Beast to awaken it. Its potential was undeniably high, but it also meant he wouldn't be able to obtain a Body Martial Soul.
Second, the panel said an incarnation had to complete a main quest before the original body could inherit its attributes upon its death.
And Yu Wufan's first quest was simply too absurd, even if it did fit the character's background...
[Log into incarnation character Ji Ming now?]
[Yes]/[No]
Lu Lin used his thoughts to tap [Yes] on the panel.
The next moment, new words slowly appeared on the panel.
[Logging into incarnation character Ji Ming...]
[Notice: Logging into an incarnation character for the first time may cause some discomfort. Please be prepared.]
[...]
The virtual panel gave off a faint blue glow.
The next moment, Lu Lin's consciousness grew hazy. The world spun around him, and he lost all sensation, slumping forward onto the desk like a puddle of mud.
Fortunately, he was alone in the dormitory. If anyone had seen this, it might have caused a commotion.
At the same time, far away in the eastern part of the Heaven Dou Empire, inside a small inn room,
A boy of about six or seven, with a stern face, was lying on the bed when he suddenly opened his eyes.
Ji Ming—or rather, Lu Lin—felt an intense dizziness, weightlessness, and a sense of being torn away.
It was as if his entire soul had been forcibly stuffed into a completely new vessel.
But apart from that, Lu Lin felt no other discomfort.
This body seemed to fit his soul and consciousness perfectly, as if it had always been his.
"Innate Full Soul Power..."
Lu Lin silently repeated the words to himself.
The level-ten Soul Power in this body was worlds apart from the level-four Soul Power in his original body.
