Douluo Continent, Sacred Soul Village.
A four-wheeled cargo cart rolled into the village. Along the way, the simple villagers looked on enviously.
"Xiao Yu, you're really something! You sold all the goods bound for Nuoding City so early today!"
Lin Yu sat on the cart, holding the reins as he greeted the villagers. A bitter look showed in his eyes.
A few minutes later, the cart followed a narrow path to a courtyard.
A Big Yellow Dog came trotting out, its tail spinning like a top.
Lin Yu let go of the reins and jumped down from the cart.
He spread his arms and hugged the Big Yellow Dog as it leaped at him, smiling. "Big Yellow, I'm back!"
The dog was beside itself with excitement, repeatedly sticking out its tongue to lick his face.
Just then, Old Jack came out, leaning on his cane, his face kind. "Xiao Yu, you're back. Did you sell all the goods without any trouble today?"
Lin Yu let go of the dog, took a money pouch from his clothes, and handed it over.
"Grandpa Jack, thanks to Deacon Su Yuntao's help, we sold everything without any trouble. Here's what I earned today!"
Old Jack took the pouch and weighed it in his hand, his face lighting up with delight. "My Xiao Yu really is clever and capable. Grandpa will save this money for you for now!"
He tucked the pouch away, his smile growing even brighter.
"Xiao Yu, you're old enough to marry now. It's time to start thinking about it!"
"There are a few girls in the village around your age. I've already looked into them, and they're all hardworking, thrifty girls who know how to run a household. When would you like to meet them?"
Lin Yu met Old Jack's expectant gaze and smiled faintly.
"Grandpa Jack, you can arrange all that. I'm a little tired, so I'll go inside and rest for a while!"
He drove the cargo cart into the courtyard and parked it, then went into the house and shut the door.
Old Jack smiled and said, "All right," before heading outside, leaning on his cane.
Inside the house, Lin Yu watched Old Jack walking away through the window and gave a wry smile.
"With Grandpa Jack's personality, I'll probably be set up on a blind date tomorrow!"
He looked around the room and sighed.
"Sixteen years ago, I transmigrated to Sacred Soul Village and was found by Grandpa Jack at the entrance!"
"Grandpa Jack had no children of his own and treated me like his own son. Unfortunately, I didn't awaken Innate Soul Power, and I don't even have a Martial Soul. Maybe it's because I'm a transmigrator!"
Lin Yu gazed out at the blue sky and murmured:
"Grandpa Jack taught me that as long as I worked hard, even an ordinary person could live happily. I've always done my best to follow that advice!"
"The money I've saved over the years is enough to marry several wives, have a bunch of children, and support Grandpa Jack. What more could I possibly regret?"
Suddenly, Lin Yu's eyes lit up. "Half a year ago, the Spirit Hall Empire launched the Soul Hunting Operation, ambushing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and sparking the Heaven Dou coup!"
"In the end, with Tang San and the others' help, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family barely managed to win, and the new emperor, Xue Beng, took the throne!"
"Going by the timeline, Tang San and the other Shrek Seven Devils should be undergoing trials on Sea God Island right now, while Spirit Hall is preparing to start a war..."
Just then, a strange voice rang out in his mind.
[Monopoly System activated. Binding successful.]
[Congratulations, host. You have obtained the Monopoly System. Every three days, you can select nine lucky beings from among the billions of creatures in the Douluo World to take part in a Monopoly challenge and receive rewards.]
[Gift Pack x1 granted.]
Lin Yu came to his senses, overjoyed. "My system has finally arrived!"
He steadied himself, though excitement still surged through him. "Open the Gift Pack!"
[Ding! Gift Pack opened successfully!]
[Congratulations, host. You have obtained the Chaos Divine Banner and the Douluo World Chat Room terminal.]
[Chaos Divine Banner: Plant it in the ground to create a Chaos Domain with a radius of one hundred meters. Within the domain, the host is invincible.]
[Douluo World Chat Room terminal: Once activated, it creates a chat room in the minds of all beings across the Douluo World. The host has the highest administrative privileges in the chat room.]
Notice: The Chaos Divine Banner's range will expand as the host holds more Monopoly challenges.
Notice: The Douluo World consists of Douluo Continent and the Divine Realm, and is home to three races: humans, Soul Beasts, and gods.
Lin Yu read the description, thrilled. "All I have to do is expand the Chaos Divine Banner's range. One day, I'll truly be invincible!"
He went into the courtyard and took out a long banner that radiated an ancient aura. Then he drove it forcefully into the ground.
Centered on the Chaos Divine Banner, a domain spread out with a radius of one hundred meters.
A miraculous energy appeared within Lin Yu, linking him to the will of the world of Douluo Continent.
With a wave of his hand, the power of heaven and earth surged toward him. Within the hundred-meter range of the Chaos Domain, he could summon wind and rain, shake heaven and earth—he could do anything.
After studying the Chaos Divine Banner, Lin Yu discovered that once he stepped outside the Chaos Domain, he could no longer wield the power of chaos.
He silently thought, Activate the Douluo World Chat Room terminal!
A chat room formed from the power of chaos appeared in Lin Yu's mind, with the words "Chat Room" engraved on it.
At the same time, a chat room appeared in the minds of billions of humans, Soul Beasts, and gods throughout the Douluo World, causing an uproar.
All beings could enter the chat room with their consciousness and send messages.
At that moment, messages were scrolling through the room by the tens of millions per second. It was incredibly lively.
Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, Elder of the Spirit Hall Empire: Why has this strange thing appeared in my mind?
Martial Soul Empire Emperor Bibi Dong: It even managed to invade my Sea of Consciousness. The creator of this chat room must be one of the legendary gods of Douluo Continent!
Heaven Dou Empire Emperor Xue Beng: Bibi Dong, one day I will lead the Heaven Dou army to destroy the Spirit Hall Empire and avenge my father and all those who died!
Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect Master Ning Fengzhi: Bibi Dong, I, Ning Fengzhi, swear that I will never rest until I've avenged my sect!
Liu Erlong of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan: Bibi Dong, how dare you ambush the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan! I'll make you pay!
Master Yu Xiaogang: Bibi Dong, you heartless woman! I, Yu Xiaogang, want nothing more to do with you for the rest of my life!
Martial Soul Empire Emperor Bibi Dong: Every force that resists me will be crushed beneath the Soul Master legions of my Spirit Hall Empire. Yu Xiaogang, I am now the exalted emperor of the Spirit Hall Empire, while you're nothing but a destitute man from a destroyed sect, barely clinging to life. We were never meant to live in the same world!
Sea God Successor Tang San: Bibi Dong, as long as I draw breath, I will never let you wreak havoc across Douluo Continent!
Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit Xiao Wu: Third Brother, you just gave yourself away!
Martial Soul Empire Emperor Bibi Dong: So, Tang San! No wonder you suddenly vanished without a trace. You went to Sea God Island to undergo the Sea God Inheritance!
Angel God Successor Qian Renxue: Tang San, let's see which of us becomes a god first!
Just as messages raced through the chat room, a red pinned message appeared:
Chaos God: Starting today, every three days I will choose nine lucky beings from among the billions of creatures in the Douluo World to take part in a trial.
After the red pinned message appeared, a large orange-red envelope popped up. Driven by curiosity, billions of beings clicked on it.
