Dou Ling Empire.
Eastsea City.
In a small courtyard on the west side of the city, a breeze swept through, stirring the maple tree's branches and leaves. Fiery red leaves drifted down like falling blossoms, landing on the head of the child staring blankly beneath the tree.
Gu Shengge cupped his little face in both hands and stared dazedly at the tightly shut courtyard gate. For a long while, he didn't come back to his senses.
A moment later, he sighed helplessly and finally accepted the fact that he had transmigrated into Peerless Tang Clan.
He'd only stayed up a little late. How had he ended up transmigrating? Wasn't getting hit by a car, electrocuted, or stabbed by a girlfriend supposed to be how this happened?
And if he had to transmigrate, shouldn't he at least have gotten a system? The world wasn't as safe as it had been ten thousand years ago, when Spirit Hall still existed.
It was no exaggeration to say that Evil Soul Masters were everywhere now, and ordinary civilians' lives were worth less than a dog's.
He was an orphan who'd just lost both his parents. If some Evil Soul Master refined him like they had his parents, there'd be no one to seek justice for him.
His predecessor had died of grief after learning of his parents' deaths.
As for Shrek Academy, ha. Those people couldn't even protect their own students, let alone anyone else.
[Ding~ System activated. Newbie gifts distributed. Hello, host. Goodbye, host.]
Huh? Had something just flashed by?
Gu Shengge stared at the three things that had suddenly appeared before him, a trace of confusion on his face.
The next second, his confusion turned to shock, and he cried out.
"Holy crap! System, are you messing with me?! If you're leaving, take me with you! Whoever wants to stay in this lousy world can stay! I'm out!"
He called for the system repeatedly in his mind, but the system that had appeared out of nowhere seemed to have truly vanished, without the slightest response.
Gu Shengge looked at the three newbie gifts from the system, helplessness deepening in his eyes. Shaking his head, he grumbled:
"You unreliable thing. If these three gifts aren't any good, I swear I'll report your ass to the Transmigrator System Association."
He first picked up a radiant, multicolored orb. Information about the orb surfaced in his mind.
It was called the Twin Martial Soul Orb. As long as he crushed it, he would awaken Twin Martial Souls when his Martial Soul Awakening came.
Gu Shengge grumbled again. "Twin Martial Souls? The male and female leads of this era come with Triple Martial Souls as standard."
But when he picked up the second newbie gift, he froze, disbelief filling his eyes. System, you really came through!
The second gift was none other than Great Love Immortal Venerable's Spring Autumn Cicada!
The Spring Autumn Cicada looked like a delicate piece of craftsmanship made by a master artisan from brown wood and leaves. Its head and abdomen were brownish-yellow, their surfaces marked with rings like those of a tree, as if they had borne witness to the passage of time.
Its wings were broad and translucent, a tender, fresh green, like two newly sprouted leaves layered together. Both wings bore patterns that were strikingly similar. They resembled the typical reticulated veins of leaves: a thick central vein, with a network of finer veins radiating outward on either side.
Gu Shengge's hand trembled with excitement as he held the Spring Autumn Cicada.
This was a supreme treasure that could reverse time and be reborn in the past!
He eagerly pricked his delicate little finger and dripped his blood onto the Spring Autumn Cicada.
The Spring Autumn Cicada absorbed Gu Shengge's blood and slowly unfurled its wings. It rose from his hand as a faint ripple of time appeared, then vanished.
It didn't feed on ordinary things, drinking only from the River of Time. Now that it had just awakened, it needed to drink its fill.
If Tang San ever stooped so low as to try to kill him, then with the Spring Autumn Cicada, he could reverse time and be reborn in the past, giving himself one more chance—or even several.
Next, he looked at the third newbie gift: a ball of light shimmering with a platinum glow.
He picked up the platinum light, and information about it surfaced in his mind.
The Creator God's Bloodline!
By fusing with this ball of light, he would obtain the Creator God's Bloodline, which would crush any Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline or Golden Dragon King Bloodline.
At that moment, Gu Shengge fell silent. He could feel the system's profound love for him. If the system appeared before him now, he would definitely tell it:
I was shallow before! I was too loud! I was wrong!
Forget everything else. Just for this Creator God's Bloodline, he had to kowtow to the system.
Enough talk. Let's get to it!
Gu Shengge took the Twin Martial Soul Orb and the Creator God's Bloodline, then turned and walked into his room.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, he decided to fuse with the Creator God's Bloodline first and use the Twin Martial Soul Orb afterward. Perhaps that way, he would awaken an even more powerful Martial Soul.
He gently pressed the platinum light containing the Creator God's Bloodline against his chest. It slowly melted into Gu Shengge's body, and a dazzling platinum glow abruptly spread outward. The Creation Laws filled the air, enveloping him completely and forming a gigantic ball of light.
As time trickled by, a scene unfolded within the ball of light: chaos exploded, the clear and turbid separated, and the world was born.
The Creation Laws surged vast and mighty, while the platinum light blazed brilliantly, like a radiant sun shining through the ages!
Fortunately, everything was confined to the tiny room and didn't spread outside. Otherwise, countless people would have gathered to watch by now.
Even so, the strange fluctuations caused by the fusion of the Creator God's Bloodline still caught the attention of certain beings.
The Divine Realm.
God of Destruction was accompanying Goddess of Life when he suddenly looked up. The couple exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in the other's eyes. In unison, they uttered a single phrase.
"Creator God?!"
As two of the five seeds into which the Creator God had split, they had inherited a portion of his power and were, in a sense, his children. The moment a new Creator God's Bloodline appeared, the two gods sensed it at once.
But they couldn't understand. Since the Creator God had already split into them, why would he still have bloodline left in the world? Was this some kind of contingency plan?
So was this bloodline their little brother? Or little sister?
The two gods' feelings grew complicated, but they didn't dwell on it. They hurried to the God Realm Center to find out which plane the Creator God's Bloodline existed in.
Tang San, Ji Dong, and Lie Yan had not sensed the birth of the Creator God's Bloodline. They were second-generation gods, not first-generation gods born from the Creator God's division, and lacked that ability.
Three days later.
The fusion of the Creator God's Bloodline was nearing its end. The platinum light gradually faded, revealing the child within.
Gu Shengge's appearance had changed dramatically. His short black hair had turned a brilliant, dazzling platinum. His youthful features were flawless and handsome, his skin fair as suet-white jade. A platinum Creator God's Rune glimmered faintly between his brows, radiating a sacred and imposing aura. He looked like a young deity, possessing the utmost nobility.
After a while, he slowly opened his eyes. They, too, were platinum, threaded with sacred light. It seemed as though they could see straight into people's hearts, making anyone afraid to meet his gaze.
Gu Shengge's mind returned to him. He felt the changes in his body, as if he had strength to spare and could kill a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast with a single punch.
Then he took out the Twin Martial Soul Orb and eagerly crushed it. Countless multicolored motes of light spread through the air, then surged into Gu Shengge all at once.
The Creation Laws were stirred, and something wondrous happened as they combined with the Twin Martial Soul Orb's effect. They would not allow Gu Shengge to awaken any low-grade Martial Souls, so they began drawing in the remnants of two divine souls from within the Douluo Plane, gathering them inside Gu Shengge.
Under the Twin Martial Soul Orb's transformation, the two divine soul remnants ultimately became his Twin Martial Souls!
