Ye Liangchen was a programmer at a company called the Mystical Web Company. With National Day approaching, the boss announced that everyone would get a week of paid leave, and the entire company leaped for joy.
At that moment, he was rushing home. The thought of having seven days of paid leave put him in an excellent mood. Riding his motorcycle, he happily traveled down the street.
"Beep beep..."
"Skreech..."
Suddenly, horns blared ahead, followed by the sound of brakes. A large number of cars had blocked the entire street, and there seemed to have been an accident up ahead.
Seeing that the road was impassable, Ye Liangchen had no choice but to turn around and take the alleys home.
"Traffic jams don't exist for motorcycles."
"Riding my beloved little motorcycle, I'll never get stuck in traffic..."
Remembering the cars jammed on the main street, Ye Liangchen felt delighted. He hummed a tune all the way home, leisurely and unhurriedly.
"Dong dong qiang... Dong dong qiang..."
Just as Ye Liangchen entered a bend in the alley, a melody suddenly rang out ahead. Right after that, he saw seven pallbearers in black suits, black hats, and sunglasses dancing as they carried a coffin toward him. They were smiling and showing their bright white teeth—and they were familiar faces at that.
"Fuck! Isn't that my boss?"
He had never expected his boss to take on this kind of work too. Those outrageously flashy dance steps and that maddeningly catchy music made Ye Liangchen feel amused.
"Boss, I'll go right, and you go left."
Ye Liangchen shouted toward them, and the seven men nodded to show that they understood.
"Understood. Come over here quickly." The boss waved Ye Liangchen over.
"Rumble..."
Ye Liangchen twisted the throttle and drove to the right. But he never imagined that the other party was facing him and carrying the coffin toward the left, causing them to collide head-on.
"Bang..."
"I was careless! I didn't dodge!"
Ye Liangchen's head slammed hard into the coffin. His vision filled with stars, and he became dizzy and disoriented. Since he was not wearing a helmet, he toppled to the ground and ascended to heaven.
"Damn it all!"
Before losing consciousness, Ye Liangchen still managed to complain. It really fulfilled the saying: when the black brother smiles, life and death become unpredictable. To think he would die in such an absurd way, crashing into them.
Huang Da Xian, the leader, took off his sunglasses and crooked the corner of his mouth.
"Little Chen is gone. We have to give him a grand funeral."
"Boss, understood." The other six men hurriedly tidied up Ye Liangchen and put him into the coffin.
After who knew how long, Ye Liangchen was awakened by the sound of a suona and drums. He discovered that he had become a transparent soul trapped in a spherical space, while the scene before him was none other than his own funeral.
Ye Liangchen was certain that he had died, but the situation was simply too bizarre. Had his soul left his body?
"Fuck! Aren't those my former boss and those few close buddies?"
"These bastards are actually holding a funeral for me. They really offer full-service treatment!"
Ye Liangchen was both amused and exasperated. It was the first time his own boss had led his subordinates in holding a funeral for him.
Ye Liangchen's boss was surnamed Huang and was known as Huang Da Xian. He liked combining science with the occult, so he found several like-minded researchers of the occult and established an online company called Mystical Web. The company usually developed various games and metaverse projects, and he even dreamed of creating a time machine one day to send people into dimensional worlds.
Whenever the mood struck him, the man also worked as a Taoist Priest. He had a professional team under him that specialized in holding funerals for people.
At Ye Liangchen's funeral, his relatives and friends were happily eating the banquet. When they saw Huang Da Xian and the others dancing brilliantly, they all took out their phones to record it while laughing loudly.
Boss Huang Da Xian helplessly shook his head, then led his men in beating the gongs and drums and singing.
"Di di da da... Di di da da..."
"Dong dong qiang... Dong dong qiang..."
"Scrolling half the night like a man possessed, putting down the phone leaves the heart distressed,
Not scrolling Taoist Lord's positive energy, only toxic chicken soup that harms humanity,
Oh, toxic chicken soup, truly wondrous, harming heaven, earth, and the young,
Cigarettes burning on the left, a power bank plugged in on the right,
Reading jokes above while stifling laughter, reading comments below and sighing, 'Fuck,'
Dazed and groggy through another night, before dawn the rooster crows again,
Scrolling on the phone until five-thirty, and King Yama comes to give you a like!
I hold a handful of Rootless Grass, to teach the people of the internet at last,
Children of suffering in thousands of homes, don't endure torment online!"
"Dong dong qiang... Dong dong qiang..."
Gongs thundered, drums roared, and firecrackers exploded!
"My goodness! This is practically a wake-up call for the human world!"
Ye Liangchen felt that Huang Da Xian and the others sang this rhyming tune far better than that so-called "Male Donkey with a Bird" song.
Huang Da Xian glanced around at the many brightly dressed men and women at the funeral. Feeling that everyone was not solemn enough, he began to sing nonsense with a serious expression once more.
"The blazing sun burns like fire, girls on the streets wear little,
A Soul-Calming Bag hangs from the shoulder, revealing half a waist like a water snake,
Heavy makeup is terrifying, while they seek rich men to set their traps,
Passing through the streets in groups of three or five, leaving countless men drooling.
Dong dong qiang... Dong dong qiang...
Before the South Heaven Gate stand two divine generals, seeing this scene and growing anxious,
They submit a memorial at the High Heaven Palace, reporting exactly what they saw,
The Heavenly Lord comes to the South Heaven Gate, leaning on the railing to look down,
Why is the mortal world like this? Clothes barely cover their bodies, yet they cannot eat their fill,
Lord of Fire Virtue steps forward and says, Your Majesty, please calm yourself,
The weather is simply too hot, so they wear less; starving makes them look slender,
We immortals have nothing to fear, but pity the men below,
After speaking, he wipes the blood from his nostrils and shakes his Purple Gold Robe.
Dong dong qiang... Dong dong qiang...
The Queen Mother steps into the hall, calming the assembled officials and telling them not to panic,
She calls for attendants on both sides to serve tea, then orders them to summon the Old Dragon King,
Old Dragon King, Old Dragon King, I command you to bring down the rain at once,
God of Thunder and Goddess of Lightning, come help him, let sparks and lightning fill the sky,
Do not stop until the goal is achieved, and let all the officials enjoy themselves,
Save the men of the mortal world, and drench those exhibitionists below.
Dong dong qiang... Dong dong qiang...
A thunderclap splits the clear sky, and dark clouds stretch across ten thousand miles,
The world needs a downpour, to wash the hearts of men clean!"
Dong dong qiang... Dong dong qiang...
"Grand Supreme Elderly Lord, hurry, hurry, hurry, as the law commands! Congratulations to Little Chen on ascending to heaven!" Huang Da Xian shouted.
After Huang Da Xian and the others sang like that, the relatives and friends at the funeral all became solemn and shouted in unison, "Congratulations to Little Chen on ascending to heaven!"
Of all instruments, the suona reigns supreme; it plays either for ascension or a wedding,
When the Erhu is drawn, one note is played; when the suona sounds, a lifetime is sealed,
When the tune begins, the cloth is spread, and the entire village waits for the food,
Some cry, some carry, and a stretch of white follows behind,
The coffin is covered, the earth is piled on, and from then on one never returns to this world.
"Di di da da... Dong dong qiang... Dong dong qiang..."
When the suona sounded and the gongs and drums thundered, Ye Liangchen's soul was slowly carried into the sky by that spherical object, vanishing into an unknown world.
Damn it all!
This time, he had truly ascended to heaven. Ye Liangchen helplessly complained, taking one final look at his family. His parents had died many years ago, and now he had only an older brother and sister-in-law, as well as an older sister.
For Ye Liangchen, there was nothing left to hold him to the mortal world. Leaving the Sea of Suffering in the Mortal World early wasn't such a bad thing!
Several years later, in a fantasy world called Douluo Continent, within Heaven Dou Empire's Skywater City, a small boy with delicate, doll-like features lay on the grass in the depths of Skywater Academy's woods, pondering a problem.
The boy looked about four years old and was extremely cute. His large eyes sparkled like little stars, while his adorable face made people want to pinch it the moment they saw him.
This person was none other than Ye Liangchen, who had been sent away by his boss, traveled through time to Douluo Continent, and been reborn.
"I never expected that after dying, I would actually come to the Douluo World—and at the same time as another transmigrator, Tang San. Interesting."
Ye Liangchen muttered to himself inwardly. At that moment, he seriously suspected that the coffin he had crashed into in his previous life had been strange. Could it have been the time machine they created?
This was absurd beyond belief.
"Where's my Cheat System? Why hasn't it arrived yet?"
Ye Liangchen thought to himself that life would be difficult for a transmigrator without a Cheat System. Although he could use his foresight to seize opportunities in the Douluo Continent, that would still be somewhat dangerous. With a Cheat System, things would be much more satisfying.
"Ding!"
Just then, a ding rang out in Ye Liangchen's mind. A panel then appeared inside his mind, resembling a game character screen. There was even a line of text on it: Welcome to Douluo Continent. We hope you enjoy yourself.
"Fuck! Isn't this the Ten Thousand Realms Journey game that the Mystical Web Company developed in my previous life? I even fixed many of the game's bugs back then. How did this game end up inside my mind?"
Ye Liangchen felt as though he had transmigrated into a game. It seemed unreal and far too absurd.
Sigh! Since I'm here, I might as well accept it. He had already transmigrated, which was absurd enough in itself. Since that was the case, he would properly experience this world.
Ye Liangchen used his thoughts to sense the game character in his mind. It displayed the world he was currently in and showed that he possessed two Martial Souls, though they were sealed. His only Cultivation Techniques were the Primordial Chaos Sutra and the Five Elements Divine Fist; everything else was sealed. As for Treasures and Equipment, he had one bottle of Foundation Establishment Pills, while the rest were also sealed.
It really was much like the games he had played in his previous life. This was too interesting.
The Cheat System had no voice either. The line of text on the panel disappeared after ten minutes, making it feel as though he had simply gained a spatial treasure inside his body.
"Twin Martial Souls? What could they be?
"But with this Cheat System, won't I be able to crush everything in the Douluo World?"
"Tang San reached the God Realm with the Mysterious Heaven Skill and a few Hidden Weapons. My Primordial Chaos Sutra is a Cultivation Method from the cultivation world! I can probably break through the God Realm."
"Cackle, cackle, cackle...! This is going to be fun."
They were both transmigrators, so Ye Liangchen naturally could not let Tang San grow powerful. Two tigers could not share one mountain—unless one was male and the other female.
With that thought, Ye Liangchen suddenly sat up and prepared to try cultivating the Primordial Chaos Sutra.
"No, I'm only four years old right now. If I start cultivating already, anyone who sees me will think it strange. I'd better wait until after awakening my Martial Soul, then use Soul Power cultivation as a cover."
With that thought, Ye Liangchen lay back down. With the Cheat System, he could roam freely through this Low-Level Fantasy World.
Ye Liangchen had been born in Skywater City. His father was named Ye Feng and had no connection to the Nine Star Begonia Ye Family. His mother was named Liu Ru Yan, and she was cousins with Shui Bing'er's mother.
When Ye Liangchen was only three months old, his parents died in an accident. From then on, Lan Xiao Die raised him as her own son. As for how his parents had died, Ye Liangchen did not know either.
Lan Xiao Die also had a younger sister named Lan Xiao Ling. The sisters were the Heaven's Proud Daughters of Skywater City's Shui Family and had married the same man, Yun Han Xing. He had married into the Shui Family, so their daughters took their mother's surname.
Ye Liangchen had only heard of Yun Han Xing and had never met him. He did not even know whether the man was alive or dead.
The Lan Xiao Die sisters had previously been surnamed Shui, but no one knew why they had changed their names. Ye Liangchen had accidentally heard these rumors and had been completely baffled. Could there be some hidden secret behind it?
Lan Xiao Die and Lan Xiao Ling were both teachers and administrators at Skywater Academy, so they were usually very busy. Thus, they brought Ye Liangchen to Skywater Academy. He was only a four-year-old child, after all, so no one paid much attention to him. During their free time, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er could also accompany the little fellow, keeping him from being lonely.
Having one's parents sacrificed to the heavens for limitless power was an essential condition for transmigrators. Naturally, Ye Liangchen was no exception.
"Little Chen, why did you run over here?"
"Come on, come eat lunch with us."
Just then, two blue-haired girls around six years old ran to Ye Liangchen's side. They pulled him up and dragged him toward the academy cafeteria.
The two girls were Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er. They were half-sisters who shared the same father. Both little girls had already awakened their Martial Souls long ago and were currently studying in the academy's junior class.
Shui Bing'er's Martial Soul was the supreme-grade Ice Phoenix. Her Innate Soul Power was slightly above rank nine, and she had already obtained her first Soul Ring. She was now a rank twelve Soul Master. Shui Yue'er's Martial Soul was an adorable Jade Dolphin. Her Innate Soul Power was only slightly above rank seven, and her Soul Power was currently only rank nine. She had yet to obtain her first Soul Ring.
"Big Sisters, I can walk by myself."
Ye Liangchen tried to pull his little hands free, but he was only four years old and could not break loose.
In his previous life, he had been single since birth and had not even had time to date a girlfriend before ascending to heaven. In this life, he had become a baby and was being dragged along by two little girls, which made Ye Liangchen feel very uncomfortable.
"You're so young. What are you being shy about?" Shui Bing'er reached out and rubbed the little fellow's head, smiling sweetly.
"Haha... Sister, Little Chen is afraid that the other sisters will see him. He's embarrassed," Shui Yue'er said mischievously.
Skywater Academy was huge. The grassland was at least two kilometers from the academy cafeteria. Being pulled along at a fast run by the two sisters, Ye Liangchen's short legs soon went numb.
"Tired? I'll carry you."
Shui Bing'er felt extremely sorry for the little fellow who had lost his parents at such a young age. Moreover, she had learned from her mother that his parents had died while saving her mother, which made her feel very guilty.
"I can walk by myself."
Ye Liangchen immediately refused. How could he let a seven-year-old girl carry him? Although he was only a child now, he had been an adult in his previous life.
"Sis! Little Chen is shy. He's slept in a separate bed from us since he was three," Shui Yue'er said with a giggle.
"What's there to be shy about with your sister?"
Shui Bing'er crouched down, put Ye Liangchen on her back, and quickly headed toward the academy cafeteria.
Sigh! Since I can't resist, I'll just accept my fate!
Ye Liangchen was only a little over four years old. He could only try his best to play the role of a child and avoid acting too mature, or else people would mistake him for a monster.
That said, being reincarnated as a child was quite interesting. It felt like getting a chance to start over. Besides, he had arrived in such a fantasy world filled with beautiful women. No matter what, his life would be far more exciting than in his previous one.
