Soft sunlight spilled down upon the earth.

A super-giant city stood silently in the south of the federation.

This was Angel City, the garrison of the Angel Family, and also the core administrative region of the Southern Legion.

At this moment, it was the liveliest day of the year for the Yue Family of the Angel Family, for today was the annual day of Martial Soul awakening.

On the massive training ground, countless top-tier young geniuses of the Yue Family gathered together to begin their Martial Soul awakening.

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

At the very front of the awakening platform, an old man leaning on a cane stood there, his gaze fixed upon the five youths below.

Among them, one youth wore white attire, while the other four were dressed in gray.

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

However, to his surprise, the youth did not look at him at all, but instead scanned his surroundings with a wary gaze.

The old man seemed accustomed to the youth's extreme vigilance.

He gave a light cough.

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

"Our Yue Family is a family that believes in the sun and a family that believes in holiness. We take pride in the sun and glory in the sun."

The old man's voice was calm, yet his tone was filled with a sense of clanging conviction.

However, upon hearing his words, four of the five youths below merely blinked.

One of the youths in gray looked at the old man with a hint of fear, yet hesitated before stepping forward.

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

The youth's tone held a trace of confusion; he did not understand why the family worshipped only this one sun out of the three.

Hearing the boy's words, the old man fell silent.

He also raised his head to look at the three suns hanging high in the sky.

The three suns were spaced far apart, as if they did not exist in the same space-time.

Yet, no matter where one stood, a single glance would reveal these three perfectly aligned suns.

Looking at these three suns, the corner of the old man's mouth twitched. How was he supposed to know which one to believe in?

Because heaven knows why there were three suns in the sky.

"Grandpa cannot answer that for you. Once you grow up, you will naturally understand the mystery behind it."

"Now, let us begin the Martial Soul awakening."

"Le Zhengyue, why don't you start the awakening? As a member of the direct line, set an example for everyone."

The old man's gentle voice drifted over, yet the youth in the white combat suit standing at the very front did not even glance at him.

He also took a look at the three suns, then slightly lowered his head.

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

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

Back then, he had encountered a fool in class who kept shouting "kill, kill, kill" at the teacher. He couldn't stand it, so he gave the guy a piece of his mind.

Unexpectedly, he was killed by that person that very same night.

Who would have thought that upon waking up, he would end up here.

Initially, Le Zhengyue had been quite happy; after all, this was Douluo Continent, a world he was very familiar with.

Coming here, normally speaking, as long as he avoided those dangerous plot points, he could live quite well.

However, what puzzled little Le Zhengyue was that he couldn't figure out which era this was.

If you said this was the era of the Legend of the Dragon King?

The world had the Spirit Pagoda, and his Yue Family was indeed one of the families of the Sun-Moon Federation.

But the problem was, besides the Spirit Pagoda, there was also the Martial Soul Hall.

Furthermore, the Martial Soul Hall was still the strongest force in the world today. It was rumored that Qian Daoliu had already become the Angel God and had begun marching south to eradicate the Holy Spirit Cult.

And if you said this was the era of the first Douluo?

The problem was that within the Holy Spirit Cult, in addition to the one emperor, two empresses, and five heavenly kings of the third Douluo, there were also two grand elders: Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao.

After learning this history, Le Zhengyue was bewildered.

He even felt as if he had come to the wrong world, or that his arrival had triggered changes.

Yet, no matter who it was, everyone felt this plot was perfectly reasonable, or felt there was nothing irrational about the appearance of these people.

Moreover, not only that, but these three suns and three moons in the sky had existed for hundreds of years, according to these old folks.

They only worshipped the sun above their heads, a tradition that had also been passed down for hundreds of years.

Le Zhengyue was bewildered at this moment.

He stood there in silence, pondering the questions swirling within his mind.

It was not until the Second Elder called out a second time that the youth slightly raised his head, looking toward the Awakening Stone on the platform.

The situation at this stage was truly impossible to determine.

But the only thing that could be certain was that he had to awaken his martial soul first.

Because regardless of what the problems were, they could all be resolved after awakening his martial soul.

Or rather, no matter what kind of disaster he had to face, having a martial soul would at least allow him to face a little less of it.

Thinking of this, Le Zhengyue fell silent for a moment.

Ignoring the four cousins behind him, he strode directly forward.

Arriving at the very front, he met the old man's gentle gaze and hesitated for another moment.

With a complex look in his eyes, he glanced at the old man, then at the incomparably prosperous Angel City, before gently placing his hand upon the Awakening Stone.

A soft and bright radiance flickered faintly.

Le Zhengyue stood there in silence, his expression calm.

However, he was not anticipating the martial soul awakening process he had previously learned about, but rather the soft "ding" of an electronic chime ringing in his mind.

This electronic sound came very abruptly.

Yet Le Zhengyue had been expecting it; as a transmigrator, possessing a golden finger seemed like a perfectly normal occurrence.

But in the next second, a second, third, and fourth electronic chime sounded simultaneously.

[Congratulations to the host for awakening the Gu Raising System, welcome to the grand stage of Douluo!]

[Congratulations to the host for awakening the God-Level Choice System, please enjoy making your choices, Host!]

[Congratulations to the host for awakening the Goddess Illustrated Handbook System, please bring all the heroines home!]

[Congratulations to the host for awakening the Void Trading System, this system can help the host sell anything to obtain resources!]

These four voices arrived rather abruptly.

As the electronic prompts rang out one after another, Le Zhengyue stood there in a daze.

He first stared before his eyes, where four complete systems had appeared out of thin air.

Among them, the Gu Raising System was the largest, while the other three systems hovered minutely around it.

Seeing the four complete systems, Le Zhengyue was taken aback.

Initially, a touch of wild joy had even appeared on his face, for these were four whole systems.

If a person using one system was already cheating, then with four systems, wasn't he cheating on the grandest scale?

However, when Le Zhengyue's gaze swept over the map presented by the Gu Raising System, his previously excited expression instantly turned to one of dull shock.

Until his pupils suddenly dilated, his eyes filled with an expression of disbelief.
