Returning to Douluo

Lin Yi had transmigrated.

To be precise, it was a few years ago, by chance, he had transmigrated into the world of Douluo Continent.

This was a world where the fittest survived and the strong reigned supreme; people would kill each other for their martial souls or for profit.

Yet, it was also an exceptionally warm place. He had met Tang San, Xiao Wu, Pei Qin Hu, and others. They were friends, and also family.

To protect his loved ones, Lin Yi relied on his powerful system to carve out a new path in this era of the strong preying on the weak, becoming the respected leader in everyone's hearts.

Only...

His powerful system was now poisoned.

System prompt: Program corrupted, host is being absorbed into the system. Upon completion of the clone's incubation, you will be randomly deployed to any alternate world!

The system's voice emerged, cold and mechanical.

"What kind of broken system is this? It can even get poisoned?" Lin Yi grumbled, leaning against the wall. "Absorbing me into the system, and then selectively deploying me... Wait, what's this about a clone?"

"Am I some kind of commodity?"

"Quick, send me back to Douluo Continent..."

He shouted for a long time, but received no reply.

Lin Yi pursed his lips, thinking that this system, after following him for so many years, hadn't changed its domineering CEO temper one bit.

Not long after, Lin Yi compromised. He lay on the ground, using his arm as a pillow, thinking about the bits and pieces of his years on Douluo Continent.

There were joys and sorrows, hardships and sweetness...

Lin Yi smiled and thought to himself: If the system doesn't send me back, then Tang San and the others might miss me too...

Suddenly, his surroundings were enveloped in white; he stood up and looked around, but apart from the dazzling white, he saw nothing else. He couldn't even see the path ahead.

His eyes ached, forcing him to close them.

He heard the sound of the wind blowing past his ears. He didn't know if it was his imagination, but he thought he heard someone calling his name.

At this moment, everything that had happened since he arrived in this world flashed through his mind, scene after scene, as if he were watching a movie, vivid and clear, as if it had happened just yesterday.

Lin Yi saw everything he had experienced in this world; everyone he had met, including their laughter and their sorrow... and the scenes of them fighting side by side.

What was happening?

Why were these things appearing in his mind? People said that when one was about to die, their life experiences would replay in their minds like a slideshow...

Was the system's corruption going to delete his memories?

Lin Yi panicked slightly. His friends, would he forget them?

No, absolutely not!

'Thump!' Someone fell off the bed onto the ground.

This person was Lin Yi, covered in sweat and gasping for breath.

... He rubbed his throbbing temples, thinking he had just had a nightmare.

The scene just now had felt so real, leaving him feeling extremely restless.

Then, he raised his head again, looking around the room. This was clearly the world he had been in before.

System prompt: System repair complete, host has returned to Douluo Continent.

The system's voice echoed in his mind.

Lin Yi's temper flared. He stood up abruptly, kicked over a nearby chair, and roared, "It goes into chaos when it wants, and it repairs when it wants..."

At this moment, someone entered and looked at the furious Lin Yi with confusion.

"Alliance Leader Lin, what's wrong? You suddenly fainted just now, you really scared us."

Lin Yi rubbed his temples and looked up at the guard in front of him. Seeing his worried expression, he pursed his lips and swallowed the words he wanted to say.

"You can go out. I need to rest for a bit."

After the guard closed the door, Lin Yi sat down cross-legged.

He closed his eyes and summoned all his spirit rings with his mind, examining his body with his spirit power to see if anything was wrong.

After the examination, Lin Yi found no damage to his body, yet he distinctly felt a tearing pain, a pain that was not from a dream.

He suddenly remembered what the system had said: the host would be randomly deployed to various worlds. Did that mean there was a clone of him somewhere else right now?

So, was the pain he just felt not his own, but that of a clone in another world? Would he go back?

"System, are you there?"

"How may I assist you, host?"

Hearing the system's reply, Lin Yi felt for the first time that it was good to have it around. But now was not the time for sentimentality. He sat on the bed, closed his eyes, and asked, "What exactly happened just now?"

The system is in chaos. The host's clone has been sent to another world. Because the system is not fully repaired, the clone in the other world will be in a dormant state.

Just as I thought!

Lin Yi was extremely excited. Just as he was about to ask which world the clone was in, the system's voice in his mind fell silent.

Where did this guy go now? Did he go to continue repairing?

His temples suddenly throbbed with pain. Lin Yi raised his hand to rub them, trying to alleviate some of the discomfort.

"Alliance Leader Lin."

A soldier's voice came from outside the door. Lin Yi was irritable, but he couldn't take it out on the soldier. He sighed helplessly and let him in.

"Alliance Leader Lin, Situ Qianji and Zheng Shan have been waiting for a long time." The soldier came before him and knelt directly on the ground.

"Lead the way!"

He arrived at the room where the two were. They seemed to have been waiting for a long time. Even Zheng Shan, who had the best patience, was somewhat unable to suppress his inner restlessness. However, when they saw Lin Yi, they pretended to be nonchalant.

"Elders, you've been waiting for a long time, haven't you?" Lin Yi said this as he approached the two.

However, there was no trace of guilt on his face. He had always been accustomed to his pride.

"You!" Situ Qianji stood up from his stool, his eyes spitting fire, as if he wanted to devour Lin Yi.

Zheng Shan, standing beside him, stopped him. He slowly stood up and looked at the arrogant Lin Yi before him, saying with a smile, "We are here today to discuss something with Alliance Leader Lin."

After speaking, he sat down next to Lin Yi and placed his hand by Lin Yi's mouth. It was unclear what he said.

However, Lin Yi's expression was extremely unpleasant.
