The Third Wang Chuan

Na'er lifted her head from his arms and looked at him through tear-filled eyes. She held out her tiny pinky and said nasally,

"Then... pinky promise!"

"Big brother has to keep his word!"

Seeing how serious she looked, Wang Chuan could not help but laugh.

He had been the one to teach Na'er this "ritual" of pinky promises.

"Alright, pinky promise."

He held out his own little finger and hooked it with Na'er's slender one.

"Pinky promise, hang yourself, never change for a hundred years!"

Na'er vigorously shook their hooked fingers as she recited the childish oath, as if that could firmly lock their promise in place.

After making the promise, Na'er finally smiled through her tears. She hugged Wang Chuan tightly once before Luo Ya coaxed her back to her room to rest, with Na'er looking back every few steps.

Watching her small retreating figure, a trace of complexity flashed through Wang Chuan's eyes.

He knew that within the next few days, the memories and power belonging to the Silver Dragon King within Na'er would fully awaken.

When that happened, this "little sister" who depended on him would leave to fulfill her mission as the Master of Soul Beasts.

It was precisely because he had foreseen this that he had not arranged to bring Na'er along to Eastsea City. That would only make their parting harder and more unpredictable.

Late at night, his luggage had long since been packed.

Wang Chuan returned to his room, but instead of resting immediately, he sat cross-legged before the window.

Cool moonlight filtered through the glass, casting a layer of silver radiance over him.

He slowly closed his eyes and entered cultivation, Soul Power circulating through his body along mysterious pathways.

However, his meditative state did not last long.

He clearly sensed an unusual fluctuation coming from the depths of his Sea of Spirit. It did not come from the familiar Phoenix Wang Chuan.

Instead, it was an entirely new resonance carrying a trace of chaos and violence.

With a thought,

his consciousness swiftly sank into his Sea of Spirit.

It was still that boundless white space.

But now, besides Phoenix Wang Chuan, who had already been waiting there with a solidified form, there was unexpectedly a third hazy figure gradually becoming clearer.

The two stared at each other. After a brief moment of shock,

an excited yet uneasy guess arose in both Phoenix Wang Chuan's and Douluo Wang Chuan's hearts.

Another new "self" had appeared!

Waves also rose in Douluo Wang Chuan's heart.

Phoenix Wang Chuan's sharing had brought him the Five Virtues Phoenix, a Martial Soul powerful enough to defy the heavens, as well as exceptional talent.

So what kind of surprise and change could this third Wang Chuan bring him?

When the new figure fully solidified and approached, he too saw Douluo Wang Chuan and Phoenix Wang Chuan clearly.

He froze for a moment, then uncontrollable ecstasy erupted across his face. He nearly danced with excitement as he shouted,

"Same-Transmigration Genre!"

"Holy shit!"

"It really is the Same-Transmigration Genre!"

"We're completely taking off now!!"

However, his joy did not last long.

Suppressing the sense of foreboding in his heart, Douluo Wang Chuan spoke first and calmly introduced himself.

"Hello, newcomer."

"I'm Wang Chuan. The world I'm currently in is the Main Plane of Douluo Continent."

He pointed at Phoenix Wang Chuan beside him, whose body was surrounded by a gorgeous phantom of wings.

"This is also Wang Chuan. The world he's in is..."

"Ten Thousand Beast Platform, a minor plane attached to Douluo Continent."

"..."

The wild joy on the newcomer Wang Chuan's face instantly froze. It was as if someone had poured a basin of ice water over his head. He stood there blankly for a long while before squeezing out a sentence through clenched teeth.

"Fuck! (A type of plant.)"

"This counts as transmigration?!"

"The three of us are putting on the Douluo Continent Family Value Meal here?!"

His tone was filled with absurdity and despair.

Douluo Wang Chuan's thoughts raced, and he immediately understood.

It seemed this new brother had probably failed to escape the "Five Finger Mountain" of the Douluo Universe as well. He just did not know which obscure corner he had landed in.

"Calm down."

Douluo Wang Chuan tried to soothe him, then asked curiously.

"May I ask, where did you..."

"Transmigrate to?"

The newcomer Wang Chuan looked dazed, his eyes vacant as though he still could not accept that cruel reality. He answered casually,

"The Abyss Plane."

"The Abyss Plane?"

Douluo Wang Chuan and Phoenix Wang Chuan both froze.

Douluo Wang Chuan's expression became somewhat peculiar as he probed,

"It wouldn't happen to be... the one I'm thinking of, would it?"

"The Abyss Plane that would invade Douluo Continent in the future, then get treated as an experience pack and energy source?"

Abyss Wang Chuan nodded heavily, his voice bitter.

"Exactly the one you're thinking of."

"I transmigrated to the 108th Layer, the lowest level, starting as the lowliest Abyssal Lesser Demon."

Douluo Wang Chuan fell silent for two seconds, then slowly raised a thumbs-up and sincerely uttered one word.

"Nice."

This starting point was practically more hellish than Phoenix Wang Chuan's Auspicious Beast start. He was cannon fodder among cannon fodder, a disposable item among disposable items.

After their brief exchange,

the three of them understood that since they were here, they might as well make the best of it.

The advantage of shared transmigration still remained.

Without needing to say anything, the three silently extended their hands and pressed their palms together.

In an instant, a vast torrent of information and innate traits surged freely between the three of them, shared without obstruction!

In Douluo Wang Chuan's "vision," Abyss Wang Chuan's nine years of experiences instantly emerged.

Born into the dark, chaotic 108th Layer of the Abyss, a place filled with devouring and slaughter, he had become one of the most numerous and weakest Abyssal Lesser Demons there.

This species had poor combat ability.

On the battlefields of Abyssal invasions, they were mere cannon fodder used to exhaust the enemy's ammunition and stamina. Even if hundreds of billions died, the Abyss Will would not so much as frown.

Moreover, they possessed a talent that could only be described as terrifying.

Reproductive power!

They produced hundreds in a single litter, matured within three months, and could then immediately join the breeding army, like the hardiest cockroaches and bacteria.

It was in such an extremely harsh environment, where he could not be sure of surviving from one day to the next, that Abyss Wang Chuan relied on his unyielding will and wisdom from another world...

Carefully devouring other Abyssal Creatures, he spent a full nine years climbing step by step from the lowest Lesser Demon to an "Abyssal Greater Demon" comparable to a human Four-Ring Soul Ancestor.

The hardships and dangers involved...

Were simply beyond anything he could tell outsiders.

The instant the sharing ended, Douluo Wang Chuan's body trembled slightly.

He could clearly feel the Soul Power in his dantian surge violently as his Soul Power Level rose with unstoppable momentum!

Level forty!

All he needed now was a suitable Soul Ring, and he could immediately break through to become a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor!

At the same time, his Mental Power rose as well. He effortlessly crossed the threshold of the Spirit Sea Realm that he had previously been close to reaching. His Sea of Spirit became broader and deeper, and wherever his thoughts reached, his senses became sharper and clearer.

He estimated that with his current overall strength, even if Wu Zhangkong used his Two-Word Battle Armor and possessed strength comparable to a Soul Douluo, he was confident he could defeat him!

Not only that, he also sensed an entirely new kind of energy within his body, one completely different in nature from Soul Power.

It was Abyssal Energy, filled with the desire to devour!

This energy coexisted with his Soul Power without interfering with it, yet under the control of his thoughts, the two could be converted into each other or used together.

This meant that he possessed the most fundamental ability of Abyssal Creatures—devouring!

Not only could he devour life energy and turn it into his own Soul Power, he also would not be restrained by the will of the Abyss Plane.

It was simply perfect!
