The Golden Finger Is Actually Me

Chapter 1: The Golden Finger Is Actually Myself

A scrawny little boy suddenly sat up in bed, his groggy eyes still holding a trace of confusion.

"What's going on? Didn't I just get caught while getting a foot massage at a foot spa? Where is this place?"

Lin Ye looked around blankly. It was a dilapidated little dormitory. Over a dozen beds were lined up against the wall, like a communal sleeping area, with a narrow aisle in the middle.

The entire dormitory was filled with a foul smell of sweat and foot odor.

It was already dawn, and light filtered through the window into the dormitory. Lin Ye saw more than a dozen children, about five or six years old, still fast asleep, snoring like thunder.

Wait... why are they all children?

As if realizing something, Lin Ye abruptly threw off the covers. The next moment, he was stunned.

These small arms and legs, is this me?

While Lin Ye was in a daze, a large amount of memories flooded his mind.

About ten minutes later, Lin Ye finally processed these memories.

He had transmigrated. This was the Douluo Continent, under the jurisdiction of the Heaven Dou Empire, in Fasnuo Province.

The place Lin Ye was in was an orphanage in a small town.

As for the child he transmigrated into, it was said that a teacher found him at the orphanage entrance five years ago.

Lin Ye was five years old this year, meaning he had been abandoned at birth.

Well, none of that was important. What Lin Ye cared about was that this was the Douluo Continent, a place he was all too familiar with. Not to mention the original work, he had read dozens of fanfictions.

Through his memories, Lin Ye learned that the Martial Soul Hall had a huge conflict with the Clear Sky Sect five years ago, forcing the Clear Sky Sect to seal their mountain and retreat.

The cause of this incident was that Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect had killed the previous Pope of the Martial Soul Hall. It was also because of this incident that Clear Sky Douluo became famous and gained countless fans.

After understanding the general timeline, Lin Ye breathed a sigh of relief. He was the same age as Tang San, so it wasn't too late. He could try to scheme for Dugu Bo's immortal herbs later.

However, the prerequisite was to wait for his own Martial Soul to awaken.

Life in the orphanage was monotonous and regimented. Every morning, they would wake up, wash up, eat breakfast, and then start their day of study and activities.

Days passed like this, and after more than half a month, the peaceful life was broken.

One day, after lunch in the large dining hall, Lin Ye was walking in the orphanage as usual, digesting his meal.

A figure flashed before his eyes. Lin Ye looked closely and saw that the two women who suddenly appeared were one tall and one short.

The tall woman had long, pure white hair that cascaded down her back, reaching her feet. Her sky-blue eyes were ethereal and clear, as if they could see through everything in the world.

Beneath her exquisite white dress, her slender and graceful body was perfectly showcased.

Her snow-white skin was as radiant as jade, round and translucent.

Her beauty was even more astonishing, the most beautiful creation of heaven, truly perfect and flawless. She was like a plum blossom in the twelfth lunar month, cold, noble, and defiant of the frost.

In contrast to the white-haired woman, the young girl beside her was petite, only about 1.5 meters tall, belonging to the loli type.

But her beauty was also stunning. On either side of her captivating fair face were four emerald green demonic patterns, and she had shoulder-length, dark green hair.

Her skin was as fair as ice and snow, with a translucent quality. Beneath her skin, a faint green light seemed to flow.

As the two women appeared, the surrounding temperature dropped rapidly, making Lin Ye feel as if he were in an icy world. He couldn't help but shiver from the cold.

"Who, who are you looking for?" Lin Ye asked, instinctively stepping back. The fact that these two appeared before him without a sound made Lin Ye realize they were far from ordinary.

"Looking for you," the loli girl said, pointing at Lin Ye.

The white-haired woman directly took out a roll of parchment and handed it to Lin Ye, saying calmly, "You'll understand after reading this."

Lin Ye was a bit confused. What was going on? He was sure he didn't know these two women.

Seeing that they didn't seem to have any ill intentions, Lin Ye felt a slight relief and took the parchment from the white-haired woman.

The parchment was yellowed and dark, giving it an ancient feel. It looked like an old item.

With curiosity, he slowly unrolled the parchment. The moment he saw the first line, Lin Ye's expression changed.

The entire parchment was filled with dense text. More importantly, this was not the script of the Douluo Continent, but Chinese characters from his previous life.

The first line of the parchment read:

"To my past self, hello. I am Lin Ye, or rather, you from 18 years later. Verification code (456798)."

When Lin Ye first saw this opening message, he was very skeptical about its authenticity. But when he saw the "verification code" later, his doubts vanished completely.

In his previous life, he had an encrypted file on his phone containing all sorts of teaching materials, from Japanese, Korean, and European and American content to anime and adult photos. Everything was there.

456798 was the password to this file, and besides himself, no one else could possibly know this password.

With this, the truthfulness of the content on the parchment was naturally beyond doubt.

However, what made Lin Ye curious was, since this parchment was from his future self, why did it appear in this time period?

With his doubts, Lin Ye continued to read.

"Here's the thing: my sixth Soul Ring came from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. After absorbing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Soul Ring and its core, I gained its six elemental powers: evil, darkness, time, space, wind, and lightning."

At twenty-three, I successfully broke through to the limit of level 99 Douluo. This breakthrough in cultivation brought me a step closer to understanding time and space, and I attempted to merge the two powers.

I succeeded, but I couldn't control the fused power of time and space. The power of time and space carried me through, traveling back about a thousand years in time.

I traveled to the core of the Star Dou Great Forest and happened to encounter the Sacred Beast Three-Eyed Golden Leopard, who was out hunting. The Three-Eyed Golden Leopard was unfriendly towards me and wanted to bite me. I had no choice but to use my ancestral ultimate skill, the Eighteen Styles of Cat Licking, and finally succeeded in making the Three-Eyed Golden Leopard submit beneath me.

Reading this, Lin Ye couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Was this submission the proper kind?

The Three-Eyed Golden Leopard's bodyguard, the Three-Headed Red Demon Mastiff known as the Red King, was beaten black and blue by me, crying and begging for mercy...

What is this... Has my future self learned to pad the word count? Perhaps they've been possessed by some hack author?

Automatically skipping useless content.

Alright, back to the main topic. I do not belong to this time and space. The power of heaven, earth, time, and space is constantly rejecting me. It won't be long before the power of time and space sends me back to my original temporal node.

But since I'm here, I think it's necessary to make some arrangements in advance to help you win from the starting line.

I found the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well in the Sunset Forest and took away the immortal herbs within. These immortal herbs are for you; you must make good use of them.
