First Call: Original World, Emperor Qingtian: Qian Heqing

"Gulp."

As Dugu Xue spoke, Dugu Bo swallowed nervously, his heart filled with shock!

What kind of world did they come from?

Emperor Qingtian had an Innate Soul Power of level thirty... broke through to Title Douluo at twenty-two... and became a god at fifty-two!

Dugu Bo had never even been certain if gods truly existed, yet the Emperor Qingtian of another world was actually a god!

Although Dugu Bo did not know if his twin brother was telling the truth, one thing was certain: Dugu Xue had absolutely no reason to lie to him.

Was there any need to weave lies when one could make him feel fearful with nothing but the pressure of their soul power?

Dugu Xue looked at Dugu Bo, whose breathing had grown heavy, and asked, "Dugu Bo, are you willing to submit to the command of Emperor Qingtian? Will you take Emperor Qingtian as your only faith?"

"Gulp... I... I..."

Dugu Bo opened his mouth and asked, "If I am willing... what must I do?"

"You only need to assist me in gathering materials to build a World-Crossing Gate! Let the vanguard of the Immortal Court descend upon this world!"

"Gulp."

Dugu Bo hesitated, asking, "Are you truly here to bring peace to our world? Our world... is already quite peaceful..."

Hearing this, Dugu Xue shook his head and corrected him: "It is liberation!"

"Liberation?"

"Correct! In your world, nobles stand high above, enjoying wealth beyond the imagination of commoners! They treat human lives like blades of grass, slaughtering commoners at will, even capturing them as slaves! According to the historical records of our world, before Emperor Qingtian unified the continent, at least 30 soul masters fell into becoming Evil Soul Masters every day on the Douluo Continent! (PS: Calculated based on the number of Evil Soul Masters required for the normal operation of the City of Slaughter, not made up.) They all chose extreme paths because of the oppression of the nobles, leading to their fall! Your world has no fewer Evil Soul Masters than that!"

"That many?" Dugu Bo was somewhat surprised.

Although Dugu Bo knew there were many Evil Soul Masters, he had never truly calculated the numbers.

Dugu Xue continued, "According to incomplete records, more than 1,000 commoners die every day because of nobles! That is over 360,000 a year! If one adds the number of commoners who die indirectly due to noble exploitation, the figure is no less than one million!"

"One million!"

Dugu Bo was once again shocked by the number. He himself was the Poison Douluo who killed without blinking, yet in his entire life, he had killed at most a hundred people.

One million—that would be enough for him to be reincarnated ten thousand times and kill slowly!

"After Emperor Qingtian unified the continent, he abolished the noble system, established perfect laws, and governed the country according to the law! A life for a life!"

"Governing by law, a life for a life..."

Dugu Bo couldn't help but ask, "Then what if you kill someone? Must you also pay with your life?"

Dugu Xue's expression tightened, and he said speechlessly, "Why would I kill someone for no reason?"

"Suppose someone offended you... cursed you, insulted you..."

"The strong must not be humiliated! Regardless of who it is, when suffering harm from the outside, one may counterattack without limit! This is the right granted to every person by the laws of the Immortal Court! Of course, you must leave behind evidence of the unlimited counterattack beforehand!"

"Is that so?"

Dugu Bo pondered.

Dugu Xue asked, "Having told you so much, are you willing to join the Immortal Court? With Emperor Qingtian as your only faith?"

"As long as you help me and my granddaughter resolve our martial soul defects, I am willing to do anything!"

Whether the Emperor Qingtian and the Immortal Court mentioned by Dugu Xue would bring disaster to this world, Dugu Bo didn't really care! The only thing he cared about was Dugu Yan; even he himself ranked second.

"Very good!"

Dugu Xue smiled and said, "Now, follow me to set up a Spirit Gathering Array. I will use the array to provide the energy to open the World-Crossing Gate and briefly establish contact with the Immortal Court!"

"Good... what should I do?"

"Just do as I say."

Half an hour later, a Spirit Gathering Array was completed, and Dugu Xue stood in the center to activate it.

In an instant, all the soul power within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was extracted and condensed together!

Beside him, Dugu Bo's eyes widened!

What exactly was this so-called Spirit Gathering Array? It was actually able to gather all the energy in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well! It made the energy visible to the naked eye!

"Whew~"

A relaxed smile appeared at the corner of Dugu Xue's eyes as he muttered to himself, "Fortunately, the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well provides the energy; otherwise, I don't know how long I would have had to wait to establish contact with the Immortal Court!"

"That... Dugu Xue, is this enough?"

"We must wait a little longer!"

Half an hour later, the Spirit Gathering Array finally extracted enough energy from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Immediately after, Dugu Xue took the World-Crossing Crystal from his Soul Tool and poured all the energy into it!

Suddenly, the World-Crossing Crystal began to hum and vibrate, emitting bursts of blinding light.

Soon, a light gate two meters high and seventy to eighty centimeters wide appeared before them! The World-Crossing Crystal then merged into the light gate.

The spatial barrier had been breached, and the signal could be transmitted. Dugu Xue immediately activated the watch on his wrist.

The next moment, to Dugu Bo's shock, he saw a beam of light shoot out from Dugu Xue's watch, forming a phantom projection of a young man, visible only from the waist up!

Dugu Xue immediately bowed and saluted: "Greetings, Master!"

"Call me Big Brother!"

"Big Brother."

Qian Heqing glanced at the surrounding scenery, ignored the shocked Dugu Bo, and asked: "Is this the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"

"Yes! Furthermore, the immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well have not been damaged. I have already collected them all and will send the storage Soul Tool back in a moment!"

"Very good!"

Qian Heqing nodded and said: "Of the three teams sent out, you are the second to report back."

Dugu Xue said in surprise: "Someone was actually faster than me?"

"You could say that." Qian Heqing sighed and explained: "It is the Great Elder of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Ming. They encountered a divine war the moment they stepped into the other world! He exhausted all his soul power to send the others back, and in the end, he died in battle!"

"Elder Tang Ming! He actually died in battle? He died in another world!" Dugu Xue felt a wave of sorrow in his heart.

"Let's not talk about that for now! Tell me the specific situation on your side first. As long as we aren't transporting items or soul masters and only use it to transmit communication signals, the World-Crossing Gate can be maintained for a very long time."

"Yes! The concentration of soul power in the world I arrived in far exceeds..."

For the time that followed, Dugu Xue slowly detailed the intelligence he had gathered one by one, including information that did not involve Qian Heqing himself.

As the information accumulated bit by bit.

Qian Heqing had already gained a rough understanding of the situation, thinking to himself: I suspect this Douluo world is the original one! The trash Yu Xiaogang, the path-to-death-seeking God King Tang, the secret-room Douluo Qian Xunji, the madwoman Bibi Dong, and also: Revive, my lover... it's just so cringeworthy...
