Meng Xinghe took out a phone.

It was not the Spirit Pagoda-brand one, but the privately customized phone he had owned before rebuilding his cultivation through transformation.

On an independently developed chat app, a contact whose avatar was a pair of eyes hidden in darkness sent a message:

"Everything is proceeding according to plan. Tang Wulin has broken through to become a Grand Soul Master and successfully passed the Level Three Mecha Maker examination."

"As usual."

After replying, Meng Xinghe put the phone away.

As you might have guessed, the contact was Huo Yuhao, but not entirely Huo Yuhao.

Strictly speaking, the contact was the primary body, Huo Yuhao, while the divine consciousness within Tang Wulin originated from Huo Yuhao's secondary body.

The reason for this was a secret technique Huo Yuhao had cultivated ten thousand years ago, with the resolve to face certain death.

In the novel Perfect World from his previous life, there was a supreme precious technique known as—the Divine Embryo Rebirth Technique!

Its creator was Kun Peng's Heir, a descendant of Kun Peng, one of the Ten Ancient Fiends.

Divine Embryo Rebirth Technique:

It split the original body into two. If one body died, one could be reborn through the other and grow even stronger. Once the two bodies merged, one's strength would explosively increase.

Later, Kun Peng's Heir's true body was suppressed, and the Immortal Palace obtained an incomplete version of the Divine Embryo Rebirth Technique. Thus came the Primary and Secondary Bodies cultivated by Immortal Palace's successor Di Chong and the Heaven Mending Sect's holy maiden Yue Chan.

Primary and Secondary Bodies:

It split the original body into a primary body and a secondary body. The primary body was innately stronger than the secondary body. If one body died, the other could split off a new secondary body. Once the primary and secondary bodies fused, one's strength would explosively increase, though the increase was far inferior to that of the complete Divine Embryo Rebirth Technique.

Though Meng Xinghe did not know its principles or practical method, the passage of ten thousand years had still allowed him to create a secret technique with similar effects based on the Divine Embryo Rebirth Technique.

The creation process for this technique had been extraordinarily difficult and progress was slow. By the time Huo Yuhao was born, Meng Xinghe's self-created Divine Embryo Rebirth Technique was only about seventy percent complete.

At only seventy percent completion, perhaps it should not have been called the Divine Embryo Rebirth Technique, but rather—Primary and Secondary Bodies!

Because it was incomplete, there was a distinction between primary and secondary bodies, and the risks of cultivation were immense. It could truly be called a journey with nine chances of death for every chance of survival.

Back then, after hesitating again and again, Meng Xinghe ultimately passed this secret Primary and Secondary Bodies technique, together with the Soul Spirit Method, to Huo Yuhao as a mysterious inheritance.

He wanted to see whether Huo Yuhao would willingly deceive himself and bow to fate, or refuse to accept his destiny and stake everything on one desperate gamble, seeking life only after being driven to death.

Time gave him the answer. Huo Yuhao chose the latter.

In the years that followed, Meng Xinghe perfected the Divine Embryo Rebirth Technique. The complete version no longer distinguished between primary and secondary bodies, and the risks of cultivation had also been greatly reduced.

So...

"I cultivated this technique as well."

Meng Xinghe looked at the phone screen. The smooth, mirror-like surface reflected his deep azure eyes.

Yet upon closer inspection, they were not one pair of eyes, but two identical pairs of eyes overlapping each other.

"Hello, other me."

Without a sound, a figure appeared behind Meng Xinghe. His body was concealed beneath broad robes, his face hidden under a hood and mask, revealing only a pair of azure eyes as deep as the sky.

"Protecting ourselves with ourselves—we truly are the greatest of all time."

Divine consciousness sealed off this space. The figure removed his mask, revealing a face as handsome as a god's. He was exactly Meng Xinghe after growing up.

"Not quite. There should be a qualifier," the younger Meng Xinghe said with a smile as he looked at his older self.

"The greatest of all time in the Douluo Plane."

"I have been rebuilding my cultivation through transformation for nine years now. After being suppressed for so many years, Tang Hao and Ah Yin finally have hope of striking back."

"Yes," the older Meng Xinghe continued. "Although the complete Divine Embryo Rebirth Technique has no distinction between primary and secondary bodies, I am the one who was separated out. You are the original body. When I rebuild my cultivation through transformation, they cannot sense it, but when you do, they can."

The Douluo Plane had four great authorities: life, sky, earth, and ocean.

At first, all four authorities were controlled by the planar spirit of Douluo Planet.

However, Poseidon, the first Sea God, seized Douluo Planet's authority over the ocean. That authority was now in the hands of Tang San, who had inherited the Sea God's divine position.

In Tang San's ten-thousand-year plan, Tang Hao would possess the planar spirit and become the master of Douluo Planet, while the authority of life would be bestowed upon Ah Yin, allowing her to become the life core of Douluo Planet.

But this plan could only be put into action after the Divine Realm vanished. So long as the Divine Realm remained, Tang Hao and Ah Yin could only lurk in secret and wait for the right opportunity.

Finally, just as Tang San had anticipated, the Divine Realm was swept away by the temporal-spatial turbulence. Yet the unforeseen variables that arose far exceeded Tang San's imagination.

Huo Yuhao's betrayal and Rong Nianbing's break with him—Tang San could accept all of that. What he could not accept was that the temporal-spatial turbulence had actually sent the Divine Realm into a black hole.

"Black hole, you dare ruin my ten-thousand-year plan? You have chosen death!"

Tang Hao and Ah Yin knew nothing of this. After the Divine Realm vanished, the husband and wife began their plan to possess the planar spirit.

Meng Xinghe did not stop this process, nor did he have the power to.

Tang Hao and Ah Yin were gods. Though they were only the lowest-ranking divine officials, they were still genuine deities. Moreover, the power they used to possess the planar spirit was a trump card Tang San had specifically left behind.

However, Meng Xinghe's inability to stop them did not mean he could do nothing.

While Ah Yin was assisting Tang Hao in fully possessing the planar spirit and had no time to spare, Meng Xinghe relied on Uranus's origin bloodline within himself to seize Douluo Planet's authority over the sky.

At the same time, the nine leyline nodes across the Douluo Continent were suppressed by preparations he had made in advance. The movement of the leylines was obstructed, sealing the authority of earth.

Thus, after successfully possessing the planar spirit and becoming the master of Douluo Planet, the only authority remaining under Tang Hao's control was life.

With the authority of sky in hand, Meng Xinghe launched a forceful attack, intending to kill Ah Yin.

To save his wife's life, Tang Hao gave Ah Yin the only authority he controlled: life.

As a result, Tang Hao became the master of Douluo Planet without any authority, while Ah Yin became the life core of Douluo Planet.

One was the master of the plane, and the other was its life core. Before they lost these two identities, killing them would also doom Douluo Planet to death.

"If I cannot do anything to you two, can I not deal with someone else?"

Meng Xinghe turned and aimed his spearhead at the Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, who were watching the show from the sidelines. Considering the upcoming plan to lure the snake from its hole, he did not kill these two traitors to the soul beast world, merely sealing them away.

Only by letting Tang Hao and Ah Yin see hope of striking back would their true bodies reveal themselves at the crucial moment.

The Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, these two god-level combat forces, were an extremely important part of that.

"Taking back everything they lost while I am rebuilding my cultivation through transformation and my strength has yet to return to its peak—what a perfect plan. What do you think?"

Meng Xinghe smiled at his other self.

The older Meng Xinghe clapped in applause, his smile flawless. "Perfect. I can only say that the plan's sole flaw is that it is too perfect!"
