Douluo Continent.
Heaven Dou Empire, Suotuo City.
Shrek Academy.
"Teacher, your theories are amazing."
Beside him, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back. A stiff, arrogant smile forced its way onto his rigid face:
"Of course. My theories are invincible under heaven. As long as you follow my tactics to the letter, even the Golden Generation of Spirit Hall can only become stepping stones for you."
Not far away.
Dai Mubai lounged with his arms around two beautiful twin sisters.
Oscar and Ma Hongjun were lecherously discussing which academy had the curvier female Soul Masters.
However.
The very next second!
Rumble!
The cloudless sky shattered in an instant. The entire firmament was like a painting, ripped open by an enormous hand!
Immediately after.
A dazzling golden light appeared, bright enough to be seen clearly from every corner of the world. It stretched across heaven and earth!
The golden light seemed to contain another aura of supreme law.
Before this aura, whether it was Qian Daoliu, already a Level 99 Peerless Douluo, or Bibi Dong, seated high in Pope Palace with power in her grasp—
or Bo Saixi, on Sea God Island—
at that moment, they all felt a shudder deep in their souls unlike anything they had ever experienced!
[The Myriad Worlds Canopy opens today!] [Connecting to the supreme plane: Perfect World!] [The Douluo Plane has been detected to have thin Spiritual Energy and incomplete laws. Ascension passages will now be opened!]
Then, a cold, grand mechanical voice, utterly devoid of human emotion, exploded in the minds of every living being on Douluo Continent.
Immediately after, images shifted across the enormous golden Sky Screen, and an ancient, desolate land slowly appeared.
Primordial Remnant Species spread their wings, vast as clouds hanging from the sky. With a single flap, they reduced a hundred thousand mountains to dust!
Creatures wreathed in lightning opened their mouths and inhaled, swallowing the essence of the sun and moon above!
The overwhelming, primordial aura made everyone on Douluo Continent choke in an instant!
[The rules are as follows:] [The Sky Screen will randomly select people from Douluo Continent and send them to Perfect World.] [For every year they survive in Perfect World, they will have one chance to return to their original world with a treasure!] [There, you will find elixirs of immortality, opportunities to become an immortal, and supreme cultivation techniques whose mere drop of blood can crush the ages!]
As the voice faded, the brief silence gave way to an uproar across Douluo Continent!
"Immortality—so it really exists?"
Inside Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, Emperor Xue Ye shot to his feet. Astonishing greed blazed in his cloudy old eyes.
"Cultivation techniques that can crush the ages? If we obtain one, what could stop Spirit Hall from unifying the continent?"
Inside Pope Palace, Bibi Dong gripped her scepter, breathing hard.
At Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang trembled with excitement, his rigid face flushed red:
"An opportunity! This is an incredible opportunity!"
"The creatures in that world are so powerful. It must be because they have some special cultivation system!"
"If I could go and study it, my Ten Core Theories of Martial Souls would surely advance again. I might even find a way to overcome my useless constitution, which keeps me from breaking through Level 30!"
Beside him, Tang San's eyes shone with a faint violet light as he clenched his fists in secret:
"The Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record says that beyond this world lie even vaster realms."
"If there are top-grade Immortal Herbs there, wouldn't breaking through be a piece of cake?"
At that moment, greed blinded everyone. Few realized that this was a High-Dimensional World, nothing like the simple place they imagined.
Soon, the selection began!
[Selection of the first batch of Explorers begins!] [Available slots: three!] [Random selection in progress...]
Golden light flowed across the Sky Screen, and countless names flashed by.
Everyone on the continent held their breath.
Who would be the lucky one?
A single step to the heavens—today!
[Ding! First selected: Heaven Dou Empire, villager of Holy Soul Village, Wang Ergou!]
The image flashed, revealing an honest-looking farmer hoeing a field. He appeared on a split screen, looking completely bewildered.
"Me? I got picked?"
Wang Ergou still held his hoe, at a complete loss.
The crowd erupted in an uproar, lamenting that the farmer had struck it lucky.
[Ding! Second selected: outskirts of Star Dou Great Forest, captain of the Mad God Battle Team, Meng Li (Level 52 Soul King)!]
The scene shifted to a burly bandit chief, in the middle of looting and killing.
"Hahaha! I got picked? I knew I was heaven's chosen!" Meng Li chopped down a caravan guard in front of him and threw back his head, laughing wildly.
[Ding! Third selected: Sect Master of the Elephant Armored Sect, Huyan Zhen (Level 87 defense-type Soul Douluo)!]
When this name appeared, the entire Soul Master World was shaken!
The Elephant Armored Sect!
One of the Seven Great Sects!
Huyan Zhen was known as the Heavenly Elephant. His defense was said to be unrivaled among those of the same rank, and he could even withstand attacks from a Titled Douluo!
"Hahahaha!"
Inside the Elephant Armored Sect, a figure like a mountain of flesh sprang to his feet, shaking the great hall. Huyan Zhen's rolls of fat quivered, his eyes brimming with joy:
"Heaven is helping me! Heaven is helping me!"
"With the defensive power of my Diamond Mammoth, even if this so-called Perfect World is dangerous, I'll be able to go wherever I please!"
"Once I bring back an immortal medicine, I'll break through to Titled Douluo—or even become a god! Then the title of number one sect under heaven will belong to my Elephant Armored Sect!"
Seeing Huyan Zhen chosen, people from the other factions all wore looks of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
"Damn it, that old geezer got there first!"
Bone Douluo Gu Rong watched the Sky Screen, his face full of displeasure.
"This is troublesome. With Huyan Zhen's defense, he has a good chance of surviving over there."
Ning Fengzhi knitted his brows, feeling a deep sense of crisis for the first time. Even Tang San couldn't help frowning:
"If it's Huyan Zhen, with his incredible defense, he really does have a good chance."
And so, under the watchful eyes of the crowd and countless envious gazes:
[Teleportation begins!]
Hum!
Three pillars of light descended from the sky, instantly enveloping the three men.
The next second, the Sky Screen shifted to three different viewpoints and began a live broadcast!
Perfect World.
The Great Wilderness, on the outskirts.
Ancient trees towered here, each a thousand meters tall, like a range of small mountains.
An ancient, savage aura filled the air.
"Whoosh!"
Three figures were transported at the same time into a forest in the Great Wilderness.
[First-person view: Villager Wang Ergou]
The moment Wang Ergou's feet touched the ground—
"Thud!"
A terrifying force of gravity crashed down like a mountain. He dropped straight to his knees, gasping for breath, his face flushed red.
"This... it's so hard to breathe here..."
Wang Ergou struggled to get back up.
Just then, a butterfly with brilliantly colored wings drifted past him.
It was beautiful, its wings shimmering with a dreamlike glow. It was as big as a washbasin.
"Wh-what a beautiful butterfly!"
Without thinking, Wang Ergou reached out to touch the lovely creature.
