A certain parallel universe of Douluo Continent.
"Greetings, Heavenly Emperor."
"Greetings, Heavenly Emperor."
Ye Tianyun sat high above the Ninth Heaven. On either side of him, countless people knelt on one knee, their expressions filled with reverence.
On the left stood the Five Great God Kings of the Divine Realm: Asura God, God of Destruction, God of Life, God of Goodness, and God of Evil.
Behind them stood rows of First-Class Gods and Second-Class Gods.
On the right stood the most famous protagonists of Douluo Continent: Zhou Weiqing, Tian Hen, A Dai, Rong Nianbing, Ji Dong, and Lie Yan.
As well as Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and the rest.
"Rise, my subjects."
Ye Tianyun lifted a hand. His aura commanded respect without a hint of anger.
It brought back memories of how, many years ago, he had crossed over to Douluo Continent and, drawing on the luck of his native world as well as the added fortune of Blue Star, the world he had come from, gained extraordinary comprehension.
In the end, he created the Battle Qi System, became a Dou Di step by step, unified the Douluo Universe, and brought the entire Great God Circle under his rule.
Today, he had established the Heavenly Court and proclaimed himself the Heavenly Emperor.
"Many thanks, Heavenly Emperor."
Everyone rose and looked toward Ye Tianyun, their eyes filled with admiration—not even the various God Kings were exceptions.
With his own strength, he had created an entirely new cultivation system, established the Heavenly Court, and become the supreme Heavenly Emperor, the first of his kind.
He had also helped the various God Kings break through their limits and comprehend even greater powers.
"Today, I shall confer titles upon the gods and forge the Investiture of the Gods. All gods may enter its ranks. From this day forth, your true spirits will never perish, and you shall live forever."
Ye Tianyun clenched his right hand. The golden Investiture of the Gods radiated boundless heavenly might.
The gods below all felt that mighty presence bearing down on them. Their reverence deepened, and not one dared slacken in the slightest.
That was the presence Ye Tianyun had cultivated over the years.
Suddenly, a screen of light appeared in the sky. It split down the middle, revealing two lines of text.
Douluo Universe. Douluo Parallel Universe.
Ye Tianyun: "..."
As someone who had crossed over, he had both eaten pork and watched pigs run. Wasn't this just the sort of dual comparison you saw in novels?
He guessed it was a comparison between two versions of Douluo. His universe was probably the Parallel Universe, and it was about to be compared with another timeline.
Meanwhile, in the Main Timeline of Douluo Continent.
The Shrek Academy led by Tang San had already joined the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Academy and was taking part in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Tournament.
Suddenly, the live broadcast room in the sky caught the attention of countless Spirit Masters.
"Look! There's a light in the sky!"
At one person's shout, countless people raised their heads to gaze upward.
Tang San was among them.
Tang San knitted his brows. He had a bad feeling, as though something serious was about to happen.
But he couldn't figure out what.
"Dual Douluo comparison? What does that mean?"
Tang San murmured to himself.
Having never been exposed to the internet, Tang San didn't know what a live broadcast room was, nor had he ever encountered a Sky Screen. He was completely at a loss.
Among the crowd, Xue Qinghe, who was actually Qian Renxue, was watching the competition with her brows tightly furrowed.
"Dual Douluo comparison? Could there be another Douluo Continent? Perhaps on the other side of the sea?"
As the Young Master of Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue naturally knew plenty of intelligence. For instance, people often came from the other side of the sea.
Spirit Hall simply lacked the ability to cross the ocean and reach the other side of the continent, and knew even less about that distant land.
Just then, the live broadcast room on the Sky Screen came to life, and a mechanical voice rang out.
[Everyone, I'll now compare the two Douluo Continents. The main focus will be on their two protagonists.]
[To begin, it's necessary to explain what a Parallel Universe is. A Parallel Universe is...]
The live broadcast room gave a thorough explanation of Parallel Universes.
The people from Shrek Academy listened in utter bewilderment.
Ma Hongjun hadn't understood a thing. He turned to Tang San and asked:
"Third Brother, you're the most learned one here. What exactly is a Parallel Universe?"
Tang San put on an expression that said he already understood and answered with great confidence, "A Parallel Universe is simply two identical universes."
Ma Hongjun: "..."
Third Brother wasn't being honest. He'd just cut straight to the point—and Ma Hongjun had heard that part himself.
Never mind. Third Brother had a pretty fiery temper, and Ma Hongjun couldn't afford to provoke Tang San. He pretended he hadn't heard anything.
Xiao Wu, however, looked at Tang San with admiration and sincerely praised him:
"As expected of Third Brother. You're so clever—you understood it right away."
The people from Shrek Academy: "..."
In the crowd, Qian Renxue's brows furrowed even more. She had thought it was another continent, but it turned out to be another universe.
She had never imagined there could be another version of herself, either.
[Now, let's introduce the protagonists from the two timelines. First is Douluo Universe One, also known as the Main Timeline. Its protagonist is Tang San, the chosen child of fate selected by Asura God.]
The Divine Realm.
God of Destruction, who had been watching the gossip, saw the message and swiftly turned toward Asura God.
"What have you done?"
As the most upright god in the Divine Realm, and one who always acted in the realm's best interests, God of Destruction glared at Asura God.
This was clearly a violation of the Divine Realm's rules.
The First-Generation God of Goodness and God of Evil also turned their eyes toward Asura God.
Choosing a child of fate for Douluo Continent was against the rules. Even the God of Law Enforcement shouldn't have done such a thing.
Asura God was so flustered he nearly jumped. He hastily tried to defend himself:
"Don't make things up. I didn't break any rules. Don't forget, I can't choose the protagonist of Douluo Continent. I only chose Douluo's protagonist. There's nothing against the rules about that, is there?"
Of course, he didn't explain that after he had chosen Tang San and sent him to Douluo Continent, Tang San had become the protagonist of Douluo Continent.
Asura God was still rather nervous. He hadn't said it aloud, but given the live broadcast room's abilities, there was a good chance it would expose the truth.
God of Destruction thought it over. That made sense. The child of fate on Douluo Continent wasn't someone they God Kings could control.
So he didn't dwell on the matter, though he still issued a warning:
"Asura God, you're the Divine Realm's God of Law Enforcement. You can't knowingly break the law. That would make your crime even worse."
"Don't worry. I definitely won't. Everyone knows I'm an honest man. I've always been law-abiding."
Asura God thumped his chest and promised.
If Ye Tianyun had heard that, he would definitely have laughed and mocked him.
Pure and Clean Tang San and Law-Abiding Asura God—the two greatest disgraces of the Douluo Universe, and the laughingstock of everyone.
"All right, let's keep watching the live broadcast room. I never knew Parallel Timelines existed. I wonder if there are other versions of us in that other timeline."
God of Life interrupted them.
Her words set the gods thinking. If these so-called Parallel Timelines really existed, then there had to be another version of each of them.
They were all curious about what their counterparts in the other timeline were like.
"Now, let's introduce the protagonist from the other Parallel Timeline: Ye Tianyun, also a transmigrator, known as the First Emperor of the Ages."
Across the two timelines, countless people on Douluo Continent—and throughout the entire universe—stared at the live broadcast room.
