Reincarnator, Douluo Continent

"Blue Star reincarnation mission complete. The next reincarnation mission is about to begin. Selecting reincarnation world..."

"Reincarnation world selected. The next reincarnation world: Douluo Continent. Reincarnation commencing."

A voice neither male nor female rang out repeatedly in Jing Chen's mind. The moment it ended, his vision blurred and his consciousness faded.

He did not know how long had passed before Jing Chen's consciousness began to return. A headache and grogginess washed over him.

Jing Chen struggled to adjust, and it took him quite a while to recover. He slowly opened his eyes, and tree trunks, branches, and leaves came into view.

Lowering his gaze and raising his hands, he saw chubby little hands.

"So it really starts from age one." Jing Chen wore an unsurprised expression, not at all startled by the changes in his body.

He had reincarnated again, once more returning to the age of one.

The reason he said "again" and "once more" was because he had already experienced this once. This should count as his third life.

In his first life, he had lived on Earth. On his eighteenth birthday, he had successfully turned his birthday into his death anniversary.

His death had been utterly inexplicable. After eating and drinking his fill at his birthday celebration, a strange voice had suddenly sounded in his mind.

It said a bunch of things he found ridiculous, then took him away—killed him—whether he agreed or not.

Afterward, he successfully reincarnated and arrived in a world called Blue Star, where he lived out his second life.

When his consciousness returned back then, it had been much like now: a small body, unfamiliar surroundings, and everything feeling like a dream.

If not for the intense pain reminding him that this was reality, he would have found it hard to believe that his experience was real.

After living for over thirty years on the highly advanced Blue Star, which resembled Earth five hundred years in the future, he had finally completed his reincarnation mission—only to have his life forcibly ended once again.

He had become a one-year-old infant again. The feeling of unreality remained, but it was no longer as strong.

Jing Chen stared at his chubby hands for a while before remembering that he had a companion divine beast.

"Yi Yi?" Jing Chen braced his hands against the ground and shifted from lying down to sitting up. He looked around, searching for his little companion.

"Yiyi. (I'm here.)" The voice came from behind Jing Chen. The instant he heard it, something nudged his back twice.

Jing Chen turned sideways and looked back, seeing a little black tiger. Its body was pure black without a trace of another color, while its red eyes carried a hint of sinister allure.

The little tiger's tail was rather unusual, seeming to be formed from several linked bones. At its tip was a hook, somewhat like a scorpion's tail.

As Jing Chen looked at the little tiger, it looked back at him with large, exceptionally clear eyes.

"You changed from a dog into a tiger. You're much more majestic and imposing now." Jing Chen smiled and reached out to rub the little tiger's black fur. It felt quite nice—very soft and smooth.

Although his little companion changed species and appearance with every reincarnation, the feeling of being connected heart-to-heart allowed him to confirm its identity.

"Yiyi. (It is indeed much better than being a little dog, but it still can't compare to how imposing my true divine beast form is.)" The little black tiger proudly lifted its head.

It was the most majestic and imposing Reincarnation Sacred Beast in heaven and earth. It could not be compared to some little dog or little tiger.

"Now that you mention it, I'm even more curious to see what you'll look like in your true form after a hundred reincarnations." Jing Chen smiled. His gaze toward Yi Yi was gentle and indulgent.

Known as the Ironblood Marshal on Blue Star, he only revealed such tenderness when facing this little companion of his.

The little tiger Yi Yi narrowed its eyes, enjoying Jing Chen's hand stroking its head. It looked adorable and obedient.

Jing Chen instinctively wanted to pick Yi Yi up, but his one-year-old body truly lacked the strength to do so.

"I'll hold you later." Jing Chen smiled helplessly, shifting his attention away from Yi Yi as he carefully surveyed his surroundings.

Though he could reincarnate, if he died during the process, he would truly be dead. There would be no further chances at reincarnation.

So he had to be cautious. He could not die halfway through before enduring all one hundred reincarnation trials.

"Artifact Spirit?" As Jing Chen looked around, he began calling out to the Reincarnation Disk Spirit in his mind.

It was this self-proclaimed Reincarnation Disk Spirit that had forcibly dragged him into reincarnating. He both loved and hated the Artifact Spirit.

He hated it because it had made him reincarnate regardless of whether he agreed, and even assigned him missions. If he failed to complete them, it would kill him.

He loved it because of the grand promise the Artifact Spirit had made: after undergoing one hundred reincarnation trials, he would become the Lord of Reincarnation, eternal and indestructible.

He had no choice but to believe such a grand promise, because he had no way out. Even if he did not believe it, he still had to complete the trial missions, or he would die.

Rather than disbelieve and complete the missions halfheartedly, he might as well choose to believe. At least then, he would have something to look forward to.

Jing Chen's call was quickly answered. The genderless voice from before rang out again:

"You have successfully reincarnated into the Douluo world. Blue Star trial mission rewards are being issued: random top-tier Twin Martial Souls. Martial Soul types are limited to Martial Souls and soul beasts from the Douluo world."

"Douluo world trial mission initiated: establish a nation and unify the continent within forty years. Difficulty: easy."

"You may now choose to increase the mission difficulty in exchange for more generous Blue Star trial mission rewards, or accept it directly."

"The reward is just random top-tier Twin Martial Souls?" Jing Chen's fair little face showed astonishment, as if he suspected he had heard wrong.

He had worked himself like a dog in the Blue Star world and hovered on the brink of death multiple times before barely completing the mission. And this was all he got?

Does this reward even deserve all the effort I put in?

That damned Artifact Spirit is so stingy!

Before Jing Chen could repeat that sentence in his mind several more times, the Artifact Spirit's voice rang out again and repeated the final line.

Jing Chen knew he did not have much time to curse that damned Artifact Spirit, nor could he bargain with it, so he stopped complaining.

He immediately began thinking about whether to increase the difficulty for more generous rewards or simply accept what was offered.

When he reincarnated into Blue Star, he had also received a reward and had been able to gain more generous rewards by increasing the mission difficulty.

Back then, he had been young, ignorant, and blindly confident. Without much thought, he had chosen to increase the difficulty, which led to the hard days that followed.

There were twenty-four hours in a day, and he slept no more than six hours each day. He spent the rest of his time striving to complete his missions.

Endless materials to memorize, endless blueprints to draw, endless Mechas, battle armor, and high-energy weapons to build.

There had also been all kinds of training missions and combat missions. In short, he had been constantly busy, with practically no leisure time.

The increase in difficulty had been far too drastic, forcing him to seriously consider whether he should choose to increase the mission difficulty again.

"The Douluo world... I wonder which Douluo it is..." Memories related to Douluo Continent rapidly surfaced in his mind.

Though time was pressing, he did not panic. He remained calm as his mind raced.

Having weathered countless storms on Blue Star, he was no longer the inexperienced young man from Earth. He could remain unruffled and face any situation calmly.

"Increase the difficulty." After careful consideration, Jing Chen made his decision. He still preferred trials that were more challenging.

A person could not live in their comfort zone. Only by giving themselves sufficient pressure could they grow.

He would face all kinds of difficulties and challenges in the future. If he kept standing still, how could he overcome hurdle after hurdle?

To avoid failing in future reincarnation trials, he had to put enough pressure on himself and could not relax for even a moment.
