Long Ying's Past

"Aaaah!"

"I finally succeeded in cultivating! System, I've finally reached the pseudo-Creation God realm. Even the God Realm's five great God Kings won't be my match now."

Inside a cave, a white-haired man with dragon horns and a dragon tail spoke. His name was Long Ying, the protagonist of this story.

(Note: For the protagonist's appearance, just use Ao Yin from Honor of Kings as a reference.)

[Host, you have finally succeeded in cultivating. This system also hopes that you can help it with something.]

"What is it, System?"

Long Ying responded to the system that had helped him in his mind.

[Host, this system needs to upgrade, but it still lacks sufficient energy. Therefore, this system hopes that you can fabricate some false events to deceive the people of Douluo Continent and help this system gather enough energy. Once that is done, you can help this system upgrade.]

"You mean that after I finally cultivated to the level of a top-tier expert, a level where even the God Realm can't deal with me, you want me to fabricate false events to deceive the people of Douluo World and gather energy to help you upgrade?"

[That is exactly right. Host, you wouldn't refuse, would you?]

"Sigh, I can help you, but this won't interfere with my revenge, will it?"

[How could it? Host, you can take revenge on those enemies who hurt you by fabricating false events. Make up false futures for them and torment them mercilessly. That way, you won't even need to act personally.]

"What you said does make sense. Are you sure this can really help me get revenge? Without me doing it myself?"

[This system will never deceive you. And don't forget, Host—if this system hadn't helped you bind to it when you were six years old, how could you have become a peerless expert whom even the God Realm fears?]

"You have a point. I can't refute that."

Thinking back on it, Long Ying had no choice but to thank the system. Without its help, it would have been impossible for him to become a pseudo-Creation God realm expert in the Douluo Universe.

At first, Long Ying had not been called Long Ying. His name had been Qian Yu.

That had been his first name in this world. He had not originally belonged to Douluo Continent; he had been a transmigrator from another world.

After transmigrating to Douluo Continent, he had become the nonexistent son of Pope Bibi Dong and Qian Xunji, as well as Qian Renxue's younger brother.

At first, he had thought that even if Bibi Dong treated him poorly because he had been born after Qian Xunji violated her, with the Angel Clan around, his life would not be too bad.

But for some reason, neither Qian Daoliu nor Qian Xunji chose to help care for him.

Instead, Bibi Dong had constantly abused him, and neither Qian Daoliu nor Qian Xunji had chosen to stop her abuse.

He had suffered much abuse as an infant. Qian Renxue had noticed his existence and wanted to help him, but Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji had both stopped her.

And when he had sought help from Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji, neither had helped him. Even the other offerings of the Offering Hall had chosen not to help him.

Later, when he gradually reached the age of six, he finally could not endure it anymore and chose to flee Spirit Hall. On the way out, he awakened the system and learned why Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji had refused to help him: his martial soul was a Fallen Angel.

Thus, in the eyes of the Angel Clan, he had been an aberration—a disgrace.

After learning the truth, he had been furious. He chose to completely sever his ties with the Angel Clan, and with the system's help, he obtained the True Dragon Bloodline, the True Dragon Martial Soul, and the god-grade martial soul, the Four Directions Divine Swords.

His Fallen Angel martial soul had been replaced by the True Dragon Martial Soul.

His Angel Clan bloodline had also been replaced by the True Dragon Bloodline.

Afterward, he changed his name to Long Ying and began cultivating relentlessly to grow stronger. With the system's help, he also acquired techniques from the world of Battle Through the Heavens, such as the Flame Mantra, as well as combat techniques like the Three Thousand Lightning Movement and Mysterious Ice Dragon Soar.

He also obtained many of the lesser Heavenly Flames and beast flames from Battle Through the Heavens.

He had also acquired moves from several other fantasy worlds.

He had even learned the alchemy arts of Battle Through the Heavens, and was now a seventh-grade alchemist.

He devoted himself to cultivation, and with the system's help, he finally reached the pseudo-Creation God level in the Douluo Universe. Even the five great God Kings were no match for him.

At first, he had planned to seek out soul beasts or the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts and cooperate with them, but now that he had to help the system fabricate false events to deceive the people of Douluo Continent,

he could not go looking for the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest or the Far North.

After all, they counted as energy he could collect too!

"First, I should fabricate some events. Right, Tang San's ten-thousand-year plan was to bring the abyss to Douluo Continent. If I make the abyss arrive on Douluo Continent ahead of time and say Tang San did it, that would be quite interesting. Besides, Tang San really did bring the Abyss Plane to Douluo Continent in the future."

"Then there's the cause of the incident. For example, Tang San's true identity is discovered by Spirit Hall. During the Soul Master Tournament, his martial soul is crippled, Xiao Wu is captured, her martial soul is crippled, and she herself is crippled. With nowhere left to turn, he later encounters an envoy from the abyss and can only seek refuge in it. That would make much more sense."

"Then I'll add a little Cthulhu flavor to the demons of the Abyss Plane, alter some details, and make it more horrifying and more vile."

"And Tang the Great Hammer, Tang Hao—how could one person fight so many Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall and still take Tang San and Xiao Wu away? That makes no sense. So I'll have Tang Hao lose against those Titled Douluo and be executed in the end. That should work, right?"

"If the abyss is going to invade Douluo Continent, there must be a mastermind behind it. Then it should be you, Asura God. After all, many people in the original novel speculated that you were the one who brought Tang San's soul to Douluo Continent. It shouldn't be a problem to make you the mastermind, right? I don't think you would object."

"Then why would you, Asura God, do this? I think I can make it like this."

"As the first among the five great God Kings formed from the Creation God to develop intelligence, you possessed the Creation God's most secret memories—the secrets of this world. For example, this world has been repeatedly reset by some existence. Asura God knows this secret and has always hoped to break free from that existence's resets and become the true ruler of the world. The purpose of bringing the abyss into this world is to turn all of Douluo Continent and the abyss into pawns for Asura God to grow stronger! That sounds perfectly reasonable, doesn't it?"

"Asura God's goal is to grow stronger, kill the other God Kings and gods, absorb and fuse their power, and finally challenge that existence to prove that he is the one qualified to control the world—that he alone is the true god. That should make for an interesting story, right?!"

"As for Bibi Dong... I'll turn you into a traitor who sided with foreign enemies. Your ugly side will soon be blown up onto the big screen, and it will be together with Yu Xiaogang, the man you love."

"But I still need a protagonist to reveal all these things one by one. I've got it—Qian Renxue!"

"Then this show shall be called Black Myth: Qian Renxue."
