Back to Douluo

Lin Yi had transmigrated.

More precisely, a few years ago, by a twist of fate, he had crossed into the world of Douluo Continent.

Here, the fittest survived and the strong were revered. For the sake of Martial Souls and personal gain, people could turn on and slaughter one another.

Yet it was also a place filled with warmth. He had met Tang San, Xiao Wu, Pei Qinhu, and many others. They were his friends, and they were family.

To protect his loved ones, Lin Yi had relied on his powerful system to carve out a new world in this era of the law of the jungle. He had become the Alliance Leader whom everyone respected.

But...

His powerful system was now infected with a virus.

System notification: Program malfunction. The host is being reabsorbed into the system. Once the clone has been incubated, it will be randomly deployed to another world!

The system's voice rang out, cool and mechanical.

"What kind of lousy system gets a virus?" Lin Yi grumbled, leaning against the wall. "You're sucking me into the system, then randomly deploying me... Wait, what's this about a clone?

..."

"Do you think I'm cargo?"

"Let me back to Douluo Continent..."

He shouted for a long time, but got no reply at all.

Lin Yi pursed his lips, thinking that after all these years, the system still hadn't changed its domineering CEO temperament one bit.

Before long, Lin Yi gave in. He lay on the ground with his arm beneath his head, thinking back on all the little moments from his years on Douluo Continent.

There had been joy and laughter, bitterness and sweetness...

Lin Yi smiled to himself. If the system hadn't thrown me back there, Tang San and the others might miss me too...

Suddenly, everything around him was engulfed in white. He stood up and looked around, but aside from the blinding whiteness, he saw nothing else. He couldn't even make out the path ahead.

His eyes began to ache, forcing him to close them.

He heard the wind blowing past his ears. Maybe it was just his imagination, but he thought he heard someone calling his name.

At that moment, everything that had happened since he arrived in this world suddenly flashed through his mind. Scene after scene played out like a movie, vivid as if it had all happened just yesterday.

Lin Yi saw everything he had experienced in this world: everyone he had met, their smiles and their sorrows... and the times they had fought side by side.

What was happening?

Why were these things appearing in his mind? He'd heard that when a person was about to die, their life's experiences replayed in their mind like a slideshow...

Was the malfunctioning system going to erase his memories?

Lin Yi began to panic. His friends—was he going to forget them?

No, please, no!

Thud! Someone fell from the bed onto the floor.

It was Lin Yi. He was drenched in sweat and gasping for breath.

...He rubbed his aching temples, wondering if he'd just had a nightmare.

The scene had felt so real that he couldn't shake the turmoil in his heart.

Then he raised his head and looked around the room. This was clearly the same world he'd been in before.

System notification: System repair complete. The host has returned to Douluo Continent.

The system's voice echoed in his mind.

Lin Yi's short temper flared. He jumped to his feet and kicked the chair beside him to pieces, cursing, "First you malfunction, then you repair yourself..."

Just then, someone came in. Seeing Lin Yi fuming, he looked confused.

"Alliance Leader Lin, what's wrong? You suddenly passed out just now. You scared us half to death."

Lin Yi rubbed his temples and looked up at the guard before him. Seeing the worry on the man's face, he pursed his lips and swallowed the words he'd been about to say.

"Go out. Let me rest for a while."

After the guard had shut the door, Lin Yi sat cross-legged.

He closed his eyes and summoned the Soul Rings within his body using his mind. He examined his body with Soul Power, wanting to find out what had gone wrong.

After checking, Lin Yi found no injuries at all. Yet he had clearly felt a tearing pain. That kind of pain couldn't possibly have been a dream.

He suddenly remembered what the system had said: the host would be randomly deployed to different worlds. Didn't that mean he now had a clone somewhere else?

So the pain he'd felt just now hadn't been his own, but that of his clone in some other world? Would he go back there?

"System, are you there?"

"What does the host require?"

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

"System malfunction. The host's clone has been deployed to another world. Since the system has not been fully repaired, the clone in that world will remain asleep."

Just as he thought!

Lin Yi was incredibly excited. He was about to ask which world the clone was in when the system's voice vanished from his mind.

Where'd that thing go now? Off to keep repairing itself?

His temples suddenly throbbed. Lin Yi raised a hand and rubbed them, hoping to ease the pain.

"Alliance Leader Lin."

A soldier's voice came from outside. Lin Yi was irritated, but he couldn't take it out on the man. With a helpless sigh, he let him in.

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

"Lead the way!"

When they reached the room where the two men were waiting, it seemed they'd been there for quite some time. Even Zheng Shan, usually the most patient of the two, was beginning to grow restless. But when they saw Lin Yi, they pretended nothing was wrong.

"Elders, have you been waiting long?" Lin Yi said as he came up to them.

Yet his face showed not the slightest trace of guilt. He was used to being proud.

"You!" Situ Qianji sprang up from his chair, fire blazing in his eyes, as if he wanted to devour Lin Yi whole.

Zheng Shan stopped him, then slowly stood up. Looking at Lin Yi, who acted as if no one else mattered, he smiled and said, "We've come today to discuss something with Alliance Leader Lin."

With that, he sat down beside Lin Yi and cupped a hand beside his mouth, whispering something to him.

Lin Yi's expression turned particularly grim.
