Eastsea City was the Sun-Moon Federation's second-largest city along the eastern coast, an important port and a hub for maritime transport and ocean resource development.
The so-called Sun-Moon Federation was the highest national organization formed after the Sun-Moon Empire annexed the Douluo Continent following Huo Yuhao's ascension ten thousand years ago, surpassing the formerly isolated nations of Heaven Dou and Star Luo.
At that moment, at Eastsea City's Soul Guide Train Station, a train from Aolai City slowly came to a stop, and Tang Wulin, traveling alone, silently stepped off.
"Eastsea City."
"I'm here."
Taking in his surroundings, Tang Wulin merely glanced around. There was no nervousness on his face as he spoke with faint emotion.
This was where the main cast had gathered, and where he had met Gu Yue. After all these years, he had finally arrived here.
[Sign-In Location: Eastsea City] [Congratulations, Host. You have obtained: 5,000,000 Federation Credits]
At the very moment he stepped off the train, the system's voice rang out, granting Tang Wulin a substantial fortune.
"Five million Federation Credits... I probably didn't have that much money in total before this."
As Tang Wulin pondered, he slowly opened his status panel.
[Host: Tang Wulin] [Gender: Male] [Strength: Level 23 healing-type two-ring Grand Soul Master] [Titles: God of Forging, Fourth-Level Blacksmith] [Martial Souls: Blue Silver Emperor, Golden Dragon King] [Blue Silver Emperor Soul Rings: Yellow, Yellow (Dragon Breath Flower Soul Spirit)] [Soul Skills: Endless Renewal, Blue Silver Immortality] [Golden Dragon King Soul Rings: Red-Gold, Red-Gold] [Soul Skills: Golden Dragon King's Power, Golden Dragon Claw] [Inventory: 9,000,000 Federation Credits, Na'er's letter, Black Mecha] [Relationship Bonuses: None]
"Already nine million Federation Credits."
"I've only just arrived in Eastsea City, and it's already given me such a huge gift."
Tang Wulin sighed.
The three million Federation Credits he had obtained from previous sign-ins, combined with the money from selling his forged goods over the past few years, had only amounted to a little over four million.
Yet the moment he arrived in Eastsea City, his net worth had directly doubled.
"Still, even though I'm fairly wealthy right now..."
"I probably won't be able to buy anything truly good later on."
Thinking of how a decent Thousand-Year Soul Ring in the original story cost ten million Federation Credits, he suddenly felt incredibly poor.
Fortunately, he did not need to worry about Soul Rings, heavenly treasures, or such things. With the system, that was more than enough.
Just then, amid a series of honks, a black Soul Guide car appeared before him.
Its body was long and streamlined, with four wheels beneath it and tracks along the edges of its chassis, displaying its all-terrain capabilities.
"A Soul Guide car, huh."
"It really is rather high-tech."
Tang Wulin chuckled as he looked at the sight before him, unable to help but remark.
"A vehicle that can be freely driven just by channeling Soul Power into it... I wonder how fast it is. Still, judging by its appearance, it shouldn't be slow."
He silently analyzed it. Yet with a car stopping in front of him, this scene seemed rather familiar...
"Move."
As Tang Wulin was thinking, a cold male voice came from behind him.
Following the voice, he saw a boy around his age dressed in a blue tracksuit, with short brown hair.
His skin was fair, his nose high and straight, and his eyelashes long and curled. Most strikingly, his eyes seemed to be dark green.
"Young Master!"
The moment he appeared, four burly men dressed in black immediately stepped out of the car and stood there respectfully.
"Xie Xie."
Combining the situation around him with the boy before him, Tang Wulin immediately had his answer.
That spoiled temperament was unmistakable. In Eastsea City, only the young master of the Xie Family, a great mecha family, Xie Xie—the one with Innate Full Soul Power whom he had encountered in the original story—could be like this.
"A pseudo Twin Martial Souls: the Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger..."
"Under the influence of the protagonist whose bloodline was lacking in the original story, your Martial Souls could merge into the Spacetime Dragon. I wonder how far you'll be able to go in this life."
Tang Wulin looked at Xie Xie with anticipation as he thought this.
As his little companion in the original story, Tang Wulin naturally trusted and liked Xie Xie. He fully approved of having him as his little brother.
It sounded a little strange, but Xie Xie had always played the role of a little brother in the original story. Naturally, it would be the same in this life.
However, his achievements definitely would not stop at level 98 like they had in the original story. Once Tang Wulin got rid of Tang San, he would certainly help Xie Xie break through the shackles of this world.
"..."
"Why does this person feel so dangerous?"
On the other side, Xie Xie looked at the boy standing silently before him. In an instant, his heart was flooded with an overwhelming sense of pressure, and he could not help frowning.
Although he could sense no hostility, the feeling of being crushed so badly that he could barely lift his head, even to the point of struggling to breathe, was truly unpleasant.
"Martial Soul suppression?"
"Could this person's Martial Soul be even stronger than mine?"
Xie Xie could not help thinking instinctively.
Ever since awakening his Martial Souls, he had never feared anyone, relying on his Twin Martial Souls and his extraordinary family background.
Yet before this boy, who was nearly his age, he had truly been intimidated.
"Driver, let's go."
Perhaps the pressure was making him uncomfortable, so Xie Xie suppressed his curiosity, looked toward his car with some difficulty, and walked over as he spoke.
"Yes, Young Master."
"..."
Tang Wulin had no interest in watching the spectacle. The reason was simple: he was already stunned by the reward from this sign-in.
[Sign-In Character: Xie Xie] [Reward Obtained: Spacetime Power] [Spacetime Power: Has a chance of traveling to a certain time and a certain space. Possesses a degree of instability.]
"Spacetime Power?"
Tang Wulin exclaimed in surprise as he walked along the road.
He truly had not expected to obtain something like this from Xie Xie.
The reason was simple: the words "spacetime" represented far too much.
Even in the original story, although Xie Xie's final title had been Spacetime Douluo, he had never possessed the ability to travel through time and space. Even gods likely could not accomplish such a feat.
No powerhouse in the entire Douluo Continent probably possessed such an ability. Otherwise, a certain Great Buddha Tang who preferred to remain unnamed in the future likely would not have needed to reincarnate to find his wife.
"Travel to a certain timeline..."
"With this ability, doesn't that mean I can return to the past and kill Tang San before he grows up?"
Tang Wulin suddenly had a brilliant idea, and his eyes immediately lit up.
"I, Tang Wulin, Pope of Spirit Hall."
"Three-Dog, prepare to die!"
