In the God Realm, inside the Life Palace.
Sunlight spilled through the glazed dome at the top of the palace, dancing and flickering between the branches and leaves of the Life Ancient Tree to form mottled patterns of light and shadow.
A child with a full head of white hair and delicate features lay quietly on a daybed beneath the ancient tree, eyes closed, enjoying this rare tranquility.
He was Li Changsheng, the biological son of the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction, a being in whose body flowed the bloodlines of two God Kings.
Because his parents were hopeless at naming things—one called Little Purple, the other called Xiao Lu—Li Changsheng simply used the name from his previous life.
Regarding this, the two of them had not refused anything.
After all, it was just a name; they truly did not care. At their level, the thing they cared about most was him as a person.
A gentle breeze brushed past, bringing with it the unique, fresh scent of the Life Ancient Tree.
Li Changsheng's breathing was even and long, as if he had merged into one with the entire Life Palace.
As the son of the Goddess of Life, his perception of natural elements far exceeded that of ordinary people; he could even clearly feel the joy of every leaf as it unfurled.
Just then, the great doors of the hall pushed open slowly, emitting a faint creaking sound.
Before Li Changsheng could fully open his eyes, a crisp, melodious voice drifted in from outside: "Changsheng, I'm here again!"
Hearing this voice, Li Changsheng instantly understood the identity of the visitor.
One had to know that this was the Life Palace, the residence of one of the five great God Kings, the Goddess of Life.
Looking across the entire God Realm, there were only four people who could enter here directly without the Goddess of Life's permission.
The Goddess of Life herself, the God of Destruction, he himself, and Tang Wutong.
Therefore, it was self-evident who the visitor was.
Li Changsheng slowly opened his eyes, casting his gaze toward the girl walking toward him.
She was about seven or eight years old, yet she already displayed astonishing beauty.
A head of blue-pink hair hung down like a waterfall, shimmering with a dreamlike luster under the sunlight.
Her face was as delicate as a porcelain doll, and her large eyes were clear and bright, as if they contained the brilliance of the entire starry sky.
She wore a white short skirt, her two fair, jade-like slender calves exposed, and every step she took carried the lightness and vitality unique to a young girl.
When Tang Wutong arrived before him, Li Changsheng finally sat up and asked with some helplessness: "Wutong, why are you here again?"
Tang Wutong pouted, and a hint of grievance immediately surfaced in those bright eyes: "What do you mean why am I here again? Don't you welcome me?"
"It's not that I don't welcome you."
Li Changsheng sighed and said quite helplessly: "It's just that there's nothing fun to do when you come to find me."
The two of them had grown up together, and they had long since visited every place in the God Realm that was worth seeing.
Every time Tang Wutong came to find him, they ended up staring at each other, not knowing what to do.
However, unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Tang Wutong was not disappointed; instead, she revealed a brilliant smile.
She sat down beside Li Changsheng, her soft skirt brushing lightly against his arm, and then said mysteriously: "I know of a place that is definitely fun."
Li Changsheng turned his head to look at the smiling girl beside him, his brows furrowing slightly as he asked with a face full of suspicion: "Really? What kind of fun place could you possibly know about?"
He truly did not believe it.
After all, he and Tang Wutong were both children of God Kings, so aside from that forbidden land where the Golden Dragon King was imprisoned, they had long since explored every other corner of the God Realm.
Unless...
"You don't want to go to the Divine Forbidden Land, do you?"
After Li Changsheng asked tentatively, he warned: "That won't do. My parents said that is where the Golden Dragon King is sealed, and even they don't approach it easily."
"Of course not!"
Tang Wutong shook her head, but the smile on her face grew even brighter.
She leaned in closer and lowered her voice: "I always hear my mom and dad talking about a place called the Douluo Continent. I heard there are so many interesting things there! Why don't... why don't we go play on the Douluo Continent? It must be much more fun than the God Realm!"
Li Changsheng was stunned.
The Douluo Continent?
He naturally knew of this place.
It was one of the planes under the jurisdiction of the God Realm.
The Angel God and the Sea God from tens of thousands of years ago, as well as the current Asura God, Tang San, had all ascended from the Douluo Continent.
Plus, since he was a transmigrator, his understanding of the Douluo Continent was far greater than Tang Wutong's.
Tang Wutong nodded excitedly, her eyes sparkling with anticipation: "I heard my dad say that there is a vast continent, an endless ocean, all kinds of soul beasts, and kingdoms and sects established by humans. Unlike the God Realm, where it's just these few places over and over again—I'm almost bored to death!"
Li Changsheng frowned: "But... if we go to the lower realm without permission, will we be discovered by our elders?"
"What are you afraid of!"
Tang Wutong patted her chest and said dismissively: "My dad is the Sea God and the Asura God now; they are usually very busy, so when would they have time to worry about me? Besides, aren't your parents God Kings too? The God Realm Committee has so many things to deal with every day; if we sneak down to play for a few days, they definitely won't notice!"
Li Changsheng was still somewhat hesitant: "That may be true, but the Douluo Continent is the lower realm after all, and the energy levels there are different from our God Realm. If something were to happen..."
Tang Wutong might not know, but how could he not?
The current Douluo Continent was in a state of utter chaos.
Beyond the Holy Spirit Cult, that organization of evil soul masters, the Sun Moon Empire was also watching like a tiger eyeing its prey.
"What could possibly happen?"
Tang Wutong interrupted him, speaking with utter disdain, "We are the descendants of a God King! Even if we go to the lower realm, we are still top-tier existences. Besides, my father and mother ascended from the Douluo Continent back in the day; it is their hometown, so what danger could there be?"
As she spoke, she reached out to tug at Li Changsheng's sleeve, shaking it gently, her voice taking on a hint of coquettishness, "Chang-sheng, just come with me! It would be so boring if I went alone, and if I get caught, having you there would help me share the blame!"
Li Changsheng looked into her watery, wide eyes and understood instantly, "So that's your plan? To make me your scapegoat?"
"That's not it at all!"
Tang Wutong's face flushed red as she hurriedly retorted, "I just think it would be much more fun if we went together! Think about it, the Douluo Continent is so big; we could travel everywhere, and maybe we'll even stumble upon some interesting adventures!"
Li Changsheng remained silent for a moment, his gaze resting on the vibrant Life Ancient Tree in the distance.
To be honest, he had grown a bit tired of staying in the God Realm.
Although he was the son of a God King, possessing endless life and immense power, this day-after-day existence truly made him feel a bit bored.
"Do you really want to go?" He turned his head, looking at Tang Wutong seriously.
"Mm!"
Tang Wutong nodded vigorously and replied, "I really do!"
"Alright then."
Li Changsheng took a deep breath and said solemnly, "But we must agree on three rules: first, you cannot cause too much trouble. Second, you must listen to me. Third..."
"What's the third one?" Tang Wutong asked eagerly.
