Local Household Registration and Akashic Records

Lin Ran left without a sound and returned to his room.

Whether this new "Huo Yuhao" was a reincarnator or a transmigrator, neither was good news for him. He did not believe the other party's memories from his past life contained any trace of him.

That meant an "anomaly" like himself was bound to draw the other party's attention.

When that time came, would the other party really coexist peacefully with him?

He was not worried that the other party would surpass him in the future, but he did not like unforeseen variables.

"System, what mission must I complete to have the former little Huo Yuhao replace the current 'transmigrator'?"

[1. Huo Yuhao is not a transmigrator, but a reincarnator.]

[2. The system can only directly act upon the host. To affect the outside world, the host must generate the corresponding item and use it personally.]

Seeing the system's response, Lin Ran curled his lips into a smile.

Sure enough, not only could the system provide advances, it could also provide certain information, and there was no need to complete any missions.

He had deliberately referred to Huo Yuhao as a transmigrator, and sure enough, the system had "corrected" him.

The second point surprised him somewhat. It counted as discovering another limitation of the system.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Ran said, "Can my existence be made reasonable?"

Now that he knew Huo Yuhao had been reincarnated, he naturally had to conceal his identity if possible.

Huo Yuhao alone was one thing, but Tang San was still watching from above him.

What if Tang San noticed something unusual about him through Huo Yuhao?

Tang San was also a transmigrator. He might be able to infer Lin Ran's origins from the smallest clues.

[World Identity Authentication: By modifying this world's Akashic Records, you can obtain a legitimate identity. No one will find your existence abnormal. You may randomly obtain one top-tier martial soul and gain this world's Power of Luck and Power of Destiny.]

[Generated Mission: Play the role of your generated identity in this world for six years. (Advance transaction, completed)]

The Akashic Records were a world's archives, recording all information within it. World Identity Authentication was equivalent to getting an ID card from the Akashic Records? He now counted as having local residency, which was why he would obtain a martial soul, the Power of Luck, and the Power of Destiny?

However, the fact that this advance came in the form of an advance transaction surprised Lin Ran. Who had made this transaction with him? The Plane Will? He did not believe the Douluo Plane's Plane Will possessed such capabilities.

What surprised him even more was that the mission was so simple—and had already been completed?

After giving it some thought, he guessed the reason. It seemed that this role-playing had begun the moment he arrived on Douluo Continent.

No wonder Huo Yun'er, who had already struggled immensely just to raise Huo Yuhao, had still adopted him. No wonder everyone in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion had turned a blind eye to him, an outsider. So this was the identity generated by the system, making every anomaly seem reasonable.

In a sense, this was a case of reversing cause and effect.

"System, advance it."

Lin Ran no longer hesitated and began looking forward to what kind of martial soul he would receive.

As his words fell, an unseen force spread from the root of the universe, acting upon the entire world from the inside out.

White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

Dai Yuhao coldly stared at the guards he had knocked down. "Get lost. If you bully my mother again, I'll cripple you next time!"

"Y-You... the Duchess won't let you off!"

Fear showed on the lead guard's face. After viciously leaving behind that threat, he hurriedly fled, scrambling away on all fours.

Hearing this, Dai Yuhao frowned.

The Duchess?

Memories of her from both his past and present lives surged into his mind, and hatred rose within him.

In his past life, this woman had caused the tragic suffering of him and his mother. Unfortunately, by the time he had gained the ability to take revenge, she had already died of illness. Now that he had been given another life, he would never let her go.

Moreover, he knew that his father deeply loved his mother. He simply did not know that she was still alive. Although he and his mother had lived miserably in his past life, his father had been a good father, a good husband, and a great hero of the Star Luo Empire.

As long as he could find his father and tell him the truth, he and his mother would no longer have to live as miserably as they had in his past life.

Yes, that was it! Since fate had favored him with reincarnation, he would make up for every regret of his past life.

Though he knew that after his mother's death, Father-in-law would revive her in the God Realm, letting her personally watch him ascend to godhood step by step would undoubtedly be far happier and more fulfilling.

With that thought, the hatred in his heart instantly scattered, replaced by boundless anticipation for the future.

"Dong—Wu Tong, this time, we won't suffer through so many hardships. I'll be completely devoted to you!"

"And Elder Yi, your Divine Sense won't dissipate because of me either!"

"And Tian Meng, Ice Empress, Snow Empress... this time, you won't need to work so hard. And everyone at Shrek..."

"And Qiu—"

When he thought of Wang Qiu'er, Dai Yuhao paused. After a moment of silence, he encouraged himself inwardly.

"This time, Father-in-law, your son-in-law will definitely make you look at me in a new light and trustingly hand Wu Tong over to me! Then Dong'er and Qiu'er can merge into Wu Tong sooner as well."

He was confident. With the memories of his past life, he would definitely satisfy Father-in-law this time.

As Dai Yuhao's thoughts ran wild because of his reincarnation, he failed to notice the indescribably complicated emotions intertwined in Huo Yun'er's eyes as she watched him from behind.

Shock, confusion, fear, sorrow, and hatred.

When Yu Hao awakened his Martial Soul that morning, she had seen a phantom slip into his body. At first, she had thought it was merely an illusion—

But now, her Yu Hao had become so unfamiliar.

She desperately wanted to kill the demon that had taken over her child's body, yet she feared hurting little Yu Hao's body. Even more, she feared alerting it—then her child might never return.

[Advance completed. Available advances have been reset.]

In the room, the system's wonderful voice finally rang out in his mind.

Lin Ran immediately felt as though his entire body were about to boil. The blood within him suddenly began to surge faster, growing more active and brimming with vitality.

What was going on? Why did he suddenly feel such restlessness, as though it came from the depths of his bloodline?

The sensation was so agitating that he could barely stop himself from moaning.

He fiercely pinched his thigh, desperately suppressing the sound that threatened to escape his throat.

Finally, after a moment, the restless feeling gradually faded.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Lin Ran eagerly opened his status panel to inspect it.

Host: Lin Ran

Age: Six (Twenty-four)

Martial Soul: Blood

Soul Power: Level 10

Available Advances: 2 (One same-realm advance, one advance transaction)

When he saw his Martial Soul, he finally understood why his body had reacted so strangely just now.

"So the randomly obtained Martial Soul is blood. No wonder it felt like my blood was boiling."

"...A Body Martial Soul, Innate Full Soul Power—pretty good."

Lin Ran was very satisfied.

The strength of a Body Martial Soul was determined by the importance of the body part involved. Blood flowed throughout the entire body, almost everywhere, and was indispensable. It was undoubtedly one of the most powerful Body Martial Souls.

Moreover, blood transported nutrients throughout the body, provided immune protection, and regulated bodily functions. A Blood Martial Soul would undoubtedly provide an enormous boost to nourishing and strengthening the body.
