This was the best of times; this was the worst of times.

We had nothing, yet we stood tall.

The void shattered, and chaos churned.

A figure hovered silently at the center of this world on the verge of collapse.

Li Xin lowered the longsword in his hand.

Half of the blade flowed with blazing golden divine radiance, like a resplendent sun.

The other half surged with dark purple Demonic Qi, as profound as the abyss of the Nine Hells.

Light and Darkness.

Divinity and demonic nature.

These two utterly different, even mutually repellent powers had now achieved a strange yet perfect balance within him.

"When the mind is unburdened, heaven and earth become vast."

Li Xin murmured softly as his eyes slowly opened.

A golden flame burned in his left eye, a crimson pupil gleamed in his right.

He raised his hand and swung his sword.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, nor any deafening roar.

Just one simple swing of his sword.

The spatial storm ahead, enough to shred a Titled Douluo to pieces, instantly fell into Deathly Stillness.

Heaven and earth were extinguished.

All things submitted.

At this moment, he was no longer merely Light Xin or Dark Xin.

The two Martial Soul powers comparable to those of a God King had completely fused, allowing him to step into that legendary realm beyond the God King.

His Aura receded, and the golden and purple radiance withdrew into his body.

Li Xin let out a long breath and slowly descended to the ground.

This was the Forbidden Land deep within the Imperial Palace of the Great Tang Empire. Other than a few core figures, no one dared set foot here under normal circumstances.

A light set of footsteps came from the end of the corridor.

Along with Spatial Fluctuation that only Li Xin could detect.

A Paper Umbrella painted with Maple Leaf patterns emerged first, followed by a graceful, lively figure.

Gongsun Li.

Today, she wore a light blue short skirt, with exquisite tassels tied around her waist.

Her long, straight Beautiful Legs were fully exposed beneath the hem of her skirt. Her skin was fair and smooth, carrying an ivory-like sheen.

She wore no shoes.

The young girl stepped barefoot across the slightly cool stone slabs with a pair of clear, crystalline Jade Feet. The silver bells tied around her ankles chimed crisply with every step.

Each step seemed to land upon one's heart.

The moment she saw Li Xin return safely, Gongsun Li's lively eyes curved into crescents.

She hurried forward, paying no mind to the etiquette between ruler and subject. She rushed straight to Li Xin's side and wrapped her arms around one of his.

"Ali congratulates the chief on leaving seclusion!"

The unique sweet fragrance of a young girl wafted toward him, carrying a faint freshness of Maple Leaf.

Gongsun Li looked up at Li Xin's sharply defined face, her eyes filled with undisguised admiration and joy.

"That fluctuation just now was terrifying."

"If Lord Sikong and Grandmaster Mozi hadn't joined forces to set up a barrier, all of Chang'an City might have been alarmed."

Feeling the soft touch against his arm, Li Xin's nerves, tense for years, finally relaxed.

He looked down at the young girl who had followed him to this other world.

As one of the intelligence cores of the Great Tang Empire, she held secrets enough to make the entire Douluo Continent tremble.

"I gained some insight. The commotion was indeed a little big."

Li Xin's tone was gentle.

He reached out and lightly pinched Gongsun Li's pair of fluffy long ears.

Gongsun Li's body trembled slightly, and a blush spread across her lovely face. Yet she did not dodge. Instead, she rubbed herself against Li Xin's palm even more intimately.

She knew her chief liked this best.

"It was more than just a little big."

Gongsun Li said coquettishly, then pulled Li Xin over to sit on a Stone Stool nearby.

She did not sit on another stool, but squatted down naturally instead.

Her unbelievably beautiful Jade Feet pressed gently together, her fair Toes curling slightly in shyness.

She extended her slender fingers and gently straightened Li Xin's somewhat rumpled hem.

"Your Majesty sensed that Aura beyond the God King and nearly rushed in."

"It was Sister Wan'er who stopped her."

Watching this scene, Li Xin's heart was filled with peace.

Who would have thought that several centuries ago, he had accidentally crossed over to this continent called Douluo?

Relying on the power of his cheat, he had summoned the heroes once found in King's Canyon to this place one by one.

The landscape of this continent had long since undergone earth-shaking changes because of their arrival.

Wu Zetian had established the Great Tang Empire at the center of the continent, her might shaking all directions.

That obsessive woman Haiyue had established the Haiyue Empire in the far northern Sea Area, controlling the endless seas.

Mozi had rebuilt Jixia Academy, combining Mechanism Arts with Soul Tools to create countless terrifying weapons of war.

There were also Sikong Zhen, Jing, Yang Guifei, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao...

Each of them had found their own place in this world.

And Li Xin was the sole king and sole leader of these unruly heroes.

"What's the situation outside now?"

Li Xin casually asked as he enjoyed Gongsun Li's service.

He had been in seclusion for a long time to fuse his divine power, and his sense of the recent timeline had become somewhat blurred.

Gongsun Li raised her head. Her Beautiful Legs, bent in her squatting posture, displayed astonishing elasticity and curves. Her skirt barely covered the roots of her thighs, stirring the imagination.

She blinked and reported seriously.

"It's very lively."

"The war between the Spirit Hall Empire and the Two Great Empires has fully erupted."

"Both sides are trying every possible way to win us over."

"Right now, Qian Renxue, the young mistress of the Spirit Hall Empire, and Yu Xiaogang, the state preceptor of the Heaven Dou Empire, are both waiting in the front hall."

"Your Majesty is worrying over how to respond to them, so she specifically sent me to see whether the chief had left seclusion."

Li Xin raised an eyebrow slightly at her words.

Qian Renxue? Yu Xiaogang?

It seemed the plot had reached the eve of its finale.

He had not expected that one period of seclusion would let him skip so much of the middle plot, and that he would emerge right at the prelude to the Dual God War.

But this was fine too.

It spared him all that tedious childish squabbling.

The current him was no longer the transmigrator who needed to scheme cautiously.

Beyond the God King.

Even if that lofty Asura God arrived in person, it would take no more than one strike of his sword.

"Let them wait."

Li Xin said indifferently. His tone was calm, yet it carried an unquestionable dominance.

Gongsun Li nodded obediently, a strange light flowing through her beautiful eyes.

This was her chief.

No matter what powerful enemy he faced, he was always this composed and calm.

Just as Li Xin was preparing to rise and head to the front hall to see these so-called protagonists of the continent—

Rumble—!

A dull, thunderous boom suddenly sounded above the heavens.

It was not thunder, yet it was even more shocking than thunder. In an instant, it spread to every corner of the Douluo Continent.

Li Xin paused and looked up at the sky.

The originally azure Heavenly Curtain was now covered by a brilliant expanse of golden clouds.

The glowing clouds surged, gradually forming an enormous scroll that stretched across the Nine Heavens.

The edges of the scroll shimmered with flowing light, radiating an ancient and mysterious Aura.

Several lines of golden words slowly appeared upon the Heavenly Curtain.

[The Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking has appeared!] [Reviewing all living beings of the continent, ranking them on the list!] [Ranked Persons may receive the blessings of heaven and earth, and enjoy supreme opportunities!] [First Ranking: Power Ranking!]
