Gentle sunlight spilled across the land.

A colossal city stood quietly in the south of the Federation.

This was Angel City, the home of the Angel Family and the core jurisdiction of the Southern Legion.

And today was the liveliest day of the year for the Yue Family of the Angel Family, because it was the annual Martial Soul Awakening day.

Countless top young geniuses of the Yue Family had gathered on the enormous field to undergo Martial Soul Awakening.

The Yue Family was not large. Including both the collateral and direct branches, only five people were participating in the awakening this time.

At the very front of the awakening platform stood an old man leaning on a cane. His gaze fell on the five youths below.

One of them wore white, while the other four were dressed in gray.

The old man's gaze lingered especially on the youth in white.

To his surprise, however, the boy was not looking at him at all. Instead, he was warily sizing up his surroundings.

The old man seemed accustomed to the boy's extreme wariness.

He gave a light cough.

"Today is the annual Martial Soul Awakening day for the Yue Family of the Angel Family."

"Our Yue Family worships the sun and reveres the sacred. We take pride in the sun and glory in its light."

The old man's voice was calm, but his tone rang with conviction.

Yet as they listened to him, four of the five youths below merely blinked.

One gray-clad boy glanced at the old man timidly, then hesitantly stepped forward.

"But, Second Elder Grandpa, there are three suns in the sky. Why do we worship this one and not the other two?"

There was a hint of confusion in the boy's voice. He did not understand why the family worshipped only one of the three suns instead of either of the others.

Hearing the boy's question, the old man fell silent too.

He raised his head and looked at the three suns hanging high in the sky.

They were spaced far apart, as though they did not belong to the same space-time.

Yet no matter where you were, you could see all three suns, aligned in perfect order.

Looking at them, the old man's mouth twitched. How was he supposed to know which one they ought to worship?

Because who knew why there were three suns in the sky?

"Grandpa can't answer that. Once you grow up, you'll naturally understand the mystery."

"Now, hurry up and begin your Martial Soul Awakening."

"Xiao Yue, why don't you go first and set an example for everyone, since you're a direct descendant?"

The old man's gentle voice rang out, but the youth in the white martial outfit at the very front did not even glance his way.

He, too, looked at the three suns, then lowered his head slightly.

His name was Le Zhengyue, the same as the name he had back in his hometown.

The reason he mentioned his hometown was that he was a transmigrator.

Back when he was in class, a lunatic had started shouting "Kill, kill, kill" at the teacher. Le Zhengyue couldn't stand it and gave him a scolding.

He never expected that the lunatic would kill him that very night.

Who could have guessed that when he woke up, he would find himself here?

At first, Le Zhengyue had been delighted. After all, this was Douluo Continent, a world he knew very well.

Normally, as long as he avoided the dangerous plotlines, he could live a good life here.

What puzzled young Le Zhengyue was that he couldn't figure out which era this was.

Was this the era of Legend of the Dragon King?

This world had the Spirit Pagoda, and their Yue Family was one of the families of the Sun-Moon Federation.

But the problem was, besides the Spirit Pagoda, this era also had Spirit Hall.

Moreover, Spirit Hall was still the most powerful faction in the world. He had heard that Qian Daoliu had become the Angel God and had begun moving south to wipe out the Holy Spirit Cult.

But was this the era of Douluo I?

The problem was, apart from Douluo III's One Emperor, Two Emperors, and Five Heavenly Kings, the Holy Spirit Cult also had two Grand Elders: Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao.

When Le Zhengyue learned all this, he was dumbfounded.

He even wondered whether he had come to the wrong world, or whether his arrival had caused these changes.

Yet everyone thought the plot made perfect sense, or saw nothing strange about these people appearing.

And that wasn't all. According to the old folks, the three suns and three moons in the sky had been there for hundreds of years.

They had worshipped the sun above their heads for hundreds of years, too.

So Le Zhengyue was completely baffled.

He stood silently, pondering the questions in his mind.

Only when the Second Elder called him a second time did the youth raise his head slightly and look at the Awakening Stone on the platform.

It was impossible to tell what was going on at this point.

But one thing was certain: he needed to awaken his Martial Soul first.

Whatever the problem was, it could be resolved after his Martial Soul Awakening.

Or rather, no matter what disasters lay ahead, having a Martial Soul would at least make them easier to face.

At this thought, Le Zhengyue fell silent for a moment.

He did not look at his four cousins behind him. Instead, he strode straight forward.

Reaching the front, he met the old man's gentle gaze and fell silent once more.

His eyes moved from the old man to the dazzlingly prosperous Angel City, both with a complicated look. Then he gently placed his hand on the Awakening Stone.

A soft, bright radiance flickered faintly.

Le Zhengyue stood quietly, his expression calm.

But what he had expected was not the Martial Soul Awakening process he knew. Instead, a soft electronic chime rang in his mind.

The sound came completely out of nowhere.

Still, Le Zhengyue had been expecting something like this. As a transmigrator, getting a golden finger seemed perfectly normal.

But the next second, a second, third, and fourth electronic chime sounded all at once.

[Congratulations, host! You have awakened the Gu Raising System. Welcome to the Douluo grand stage!] [Congratulations, host! You have awakened the God-Level Choice System. Please make your choices to your heart's content!] [Congratulations, host! You have awakened the Goddess Illustrated Handbook System. Bring all the heroines home!] [Congratulations, host! You have awakened the Void Trading System. This system can help the host sell anything in exchange for resources!]

The three voices came rather unexpectedly.

As one electronic notification after another sounded, Le Zhengyue stood there dumbfounded.

He first stared at the space before him. Four complete systems had appeared out of nowhere.

The Gu Raising System was the largest, while the other three systems hovered around it, much smaller.

Looking at the four complete systems, Le Zhengyue froze.

At first, his face had even shown a hint of wild delight. These were four whole systems, after all.

Having one system was already a cheat. With four, he had the biggest cheat of all.

But the moment Le Zhengyue's gaze swept over the map displayed by the Gu Raising System, his excited expression instantly turned blank.

Only then did his pupils suddenly widen, his eyes filled with disbelief.
