Transmigrating to Douluo Continent

The protagonist, Qian Fan, was in the [Ten Thousand Monster Domain], a star domain in the inner reaches of the universe.

Because of something his Dao companion, Xu Menghan, had said, he accompanied her to the Demon God Mountain Range, beside an abyss where, according to legend, anyone who fell would die.

Caught off guard, he had been stabbed through the heart by Xu Menghan, and his spirit power had been sealed.

The story begins...

"Fine, fine. Very good of you. To think that after calculating every possibility, I still overlooked you! ...Xu Menghan..."

At the cliff's edge.

Drip, drip, drip.

Qian Fan stood quietly at the edge of the cliff, looking down at the sword piercing his body as blood gushed from the wound.

It fell onto the ground.

Xu Menghan's hands trembled slightly.

"Fan... I'm sorry... but I have to do this. I'm sorry..."

The sword in Xu Menghan's hand, which had pierced Qian Fan, shook uncontrollably.

Its tip had pierced through Qian Fan's body, reaching straight into his heart.

Qian Fan merely endured it all in silence.

"You..."

Qian Fan started to speak, but swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue.

Xu Menghan stared blankly at Qian Fan's back, tears streaming uncontrollably from her eyes.

Her lips trembled as she whispered,

"Fan, forgive me... I'm sorry..."

Qian Fan suddenly felt his half-step Golden Immortal cultivation slowly dissipating.

After all, before truly reaching the Golden Immortal realm,

one could still be killed by physical means.

Qian Fan made no attempt to save himself. Instead, he gazed into the distance and laughed heartily.

"Hahahahaha! Hahahahaha! In the end... in the end, I lost."

With that, he turned to Xu Menghan.

"Menghan... for a thousand years... in the thousand years we've known each other... I've never wronged you... never let you down...

But why!!!

Why would you do this?

Is it because of Xu Muchen?"

Xu Menghan dared not meet his eyes, merely lowering her head.

"Heh...

So... all these thousand years... you've been acting?

Your entire family has been playing me.

From the very beginning, from the moment I awakened my martial soul, that bastard father of yours had everything arranged...

All these years... I don't think I've ever even gone out... looks like Xu Muchen planned that single-handedly, too."

"Fan... I'm sorry. If... if..."

She parted her lips, but after those few words, nothing more came.

"You've been acting... for so long... a whole thousand years... just to kill me?

Because I've killed countless people? Offended every faction?

But wasn't all of that... Xu Muchen's fucking handiwork?

You knew everything!

You could have simply had that beast Xu Muchen kill me himself!

But to preserve the reputation of that bastard father of yours, the [Lord of the Ten Thousand Monster Domain], you chose to kill me yourself, didn't you?

Your acting really is excellent.

What a pity... you never went to Ancient Ruins City... otherwise... you would certainly have been chosen."

"No... Fan... stop saying that... I wasn't acting... I really wasn't..."

"All right.

Xu Menghan, listen carefully.

I swear here and now: if there is another life, I will take up my sword myself and cut out your heart. I will repay today's pain a hundredfold!"

A pillar of light erupted from Qian Fan's chest, shooting into the sky.

"Soul of Resentment! Seal!"

With those words,

Qian Fan leaped off the cliff.

Xu Menghan knelt beside the cliff, clutching her own hands tightly as she burst into sobs.

"Fan... you really don't know anything... and I can't tell you. Please don't blame me..."

Her sobs echoed through the valley.

Qian Fan squeezed his eyes shut, his entire body taut as he braced himself for the pain to come.

After all, Xu Menghan was also at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal realm.

What was more, Xu Menghan had used a Supreme Dao Artifact.

Even Qian Fan,

before truly reaching the Golden Immortal realm, could still be slain.

He knew he might soon face the agony of his body being ripped to shreds, but he had already prepared himself.

Death might be painful.

But... he had just endured betrayal by the person he had loved for a thousand years.

After a thousand years, Qian Fan was still only a young genius preparing to break through to the Golden Immortal realm. Yet fate had played an enormous, enormous joke on him.

Compared to that... could death really hurt?... Death would be a release.

I'd merely die carrying all my regrets. It's nothing.

It's nothing...

A teardrop slid upward along Qian Fan's cheek.

The wind howling past his ears as he fell lashed his cheeks painfully.

Qian Fan silently began counting down.

The Demon God Mountain Range was only a few thousand meters high. Five seconds would be enough to fall to his death, or leave him crippled for life, his foundation utterly destroyed.

Or he might fall into the Infernal Abyss, never to reincarnate again.

Yet the sensation of weightlessness suddenly vanished, and the expected pain never came.

A strange feeling welled up within him.

It was as though an invisible force was protecting his soul, shielding it from harm.

That force seemed to wrap tightly around him, giving him an inexplicable sense of safety.

Qian Fan slowly opened his eyes and found himself in a virtual space.

All around him was nothingness, with only a blue Light Curtain bearing the large word [System].

"Did I survive?" Qian Fan could not help asking. "What is this place?"

However, a cold, mechanical voice sounded in Qian Fan's mind.

[Host, your body in the Ten Thousand Monster Domain has died. Your soul is now protected.

You will soon travel through space to a star domain called Douluo Continent, in the outermost reaches of the universe. Please prepare yourself.

"Wait! What did you say?"

Before Qian Fan could finish, the system had already begun counting down.

The surrounding space grew illusory.

Five

Four

"Wait!"

Three

Two

One

Zero

Before Qian Fan could understand what was happening,

he suddenly felt heaven and earth spin around him, his brain churning like rivers and seas overturned.

However, the sensation lasted less than five seconds before his mind became calm again.

When Qian Fan opened his eyes once more, he found himself somewhere unfamiliar.

Qian Fan opened his eyes and looked around, but his vision was so blurry that he could make out nothing.

When Qian Fan reached out his hand,

Why is my body so tiny!

Qian Fan stared at his tiny, tender little hands and tried desperately to open his mouth and speak.

But when the words reached his lips, all he could produce were babbling sounds.

Qian Fan realized he had actually become a baby, surrounded by unfamiliar auras.

The spirit power in this star domain was far too thin.

He tried to make sense of the scene before him, but his infant body left his thoughts hazy.

At that moment, the system reminded him,

[Host, you are currently an infant and cannot speak yet. Allow me to introduce your new identity.

Your identity lies within the foremost of Douluo Continent's three great powers,

a faction boasting dozens of Titled Douluos,

Spirit Hall. You are the son of Spirit Hall's Supreme Pontiff and the grandson of Spirit Hall's Great Enshrined, Qian Fan!]

Qian Fan's eyes widened.

I'm the mighty Free-and-Easy Immortal Venerable!

You fucking system!

You actually sent me to this dump!

The strongest people in this plane are merely Titled Douluos!

Are you messing with me?

System: "...Never mind that... you're lucky to be alive."

"So... what exactly are you?

Why did you save me?"

Qian Fan asked.

"You saved me for no reason... tell me... what are you after?"

System: "Someone entrusted me with it."

"Who entrusted you!"

Qian Fan was filled with confusion. He could not imagine who would ask the system to save him.

"Who was it? Tell me!"

Qian Fan pressed urgently.

The system offered no answer, merely saying,

"You will know when the time comes. Your first priority now is to survive in this world and grow stronger." Though Qian Fan remained deeply dissatisfied, he understood that with his current strength, he had no right to ask so many questions.

Jokes were jokes, and fooling around was fooling around.

As time passed, Qian Fan gradually adapted to his infant body.

He began observing the people and things around him, working hard to adapt to this world's rules.

Though he could not yet speak, his mind was exceptionally sharp.

Even the enshrined elders now spent every day fussing over Qian Fan, wishing they could keep him beside them at every moment.

There was no helping it. Qian Fan's snow-white skin, large eyes, and pretty face had utterly immobilized several enshrined elders and elders.

"He's just too adorable~" The Fifth Enshrined, Guanglin Douluo, had stars in his eyes as he constantly entertained little Qian Fan with his hands.

Qian Fan: ...

Guanglin Douluo turned toward Spirit Hall's Great Enshrined.

He was one of the Titled Douluos with the highest cultivation in the world today.

He was also Qian Fan's grandfather, a level-99 Limit Douluo.

Qian Daoliu.

"Big Brother, why don't you give me your little grandson?"

Qian Daoliu: ...

Qian Daoliu shook his head helplessly, a trace of affection flashing through his eyes.

He gently stroked Qian Fan's head and said,

"Guang Lin, you rascal. Stop fooling around."

Guanglin Douluo chuckled and said,

"I know, I was only joking. But this little fellow really is so lovable. He'll certainly be another peerless genius when he grows up."

Watching the two of them, Qian Fan could not help sighing inwardly.

The world of the weak really is full of friendship and kindness.

Unlike...

With the system's help,

Qian Fan tempered his body with spirit power every day.

And so, six years flew by in the blink of an eye, and Qian Fan reached the first watershed of his life.

Martial Soul Awakening!

Holding Qian Fan's hand in one hand and Qian Renxue's in the other, Qian Daoliu slowly entered the Papal Hall.

When Bibi Dong saw Qian Daoliu arrive, she merely raised her eyes, glanced at her two children, then looked away again.

As Qian Fan followed Qian Daoliu toward the Awakening Array, he spoke with the system.

[System, what martial soul do you think I'll awaken?]

A mechanical voice sounded.

[Host, I actually don't know what martial soul you'll awaken, nor can I help you. Just pray that you awaken a decent martial soul.]

Before Qian Fan could reply to the system, Qian Daoliu used his soul power to push him toward the array.

Qian Fan thought,

The martial soul I awakened in my previous life was the Ultimate Light Angel.

I wonder... what will I awaken in this life?

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Qian Fan stepped into the center of the Martial Soul Awakening Array.

He closed his eyes tightly, sensing the flow of soul power within his body.

Qian Daoliu released his soul power, and six stone-like objects began revolving around Qian Fan.

Suddenly, a powerful force surged from his body.

Amid the dazzling light, a gigantic black angel appeared behind him.

Six wings unfurled behind Qian Fan.

Everyone present was stunned, especially Qian Daoliu, who still had not recovered from the shock.

"This is... this is a fallen angel!" Qian Daoliu said, his voice trembling.

Guanglin Douluo shouted excitedly,

"This is nothing short of a legendary martial soul! Qian Fan will surely become an invincible existence in the future!"

Qian Fan opened his eyes and looked at the fallen angel martial soul that had appeared behind him, yet something about it felt strange.

Why did I awaken a dark-attribute angel martial soul in this life?

Even Qian Fan himself could not put that feeling into words.

"Xiao Fan, come test your soul power!"

Although Qian Daoliu did not understand why Qian Fan had not awakened the light six-winged angel martial soul,

In terms of quality, Qian Fan's martial soul was definitely no less than the light six-winged angel martial soul.

Qian Daoliu tossed aside the crystal ball that could only measure soul power up to rank 20 and brought out a larger one.

Qian Fan stepped forward, extended one hand, closed his eyes, and poured in his soul power.

The light within the crystal ball grew stronger and stronger, until it shone like a bright lamp.

Qian Daoliu stared at Qian Fan in disbelief.

"Innate rank 50 soul power! Xiao Fan, you're incredible!"

Guanglin Douluo was as happy as a little child.

At that moment, even Bibi Dong could not help giving Qian Fan another look.

Qian Fan himself, however, remained largely unruffled.

After all,

He had awakened with rank 49 soul power in his previous life.

Even in the Ten Thousand Monster Domain, that had been among the very best.

Xu Menghan had awakened with rank 42 soul power, which also made her a genius.

In this life, Qian Fan had tempered his body with spirit power since early childhood.

Rank 50... not bad...

And so,

Surrounded by the other consecrators and his younger sister, Qian Renxue,

Qian Fan left the Papal Hall with Qian Renxue and spent the entire day having fun in Spirit City.

After a few days of fun, Qian Fan said goodbye to Qian Renxue and headed to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts.

The hunt went very smoothly, too.

After all, he had two Super Douluos, Azure Luan and Guanglin Douluo, protecting him.

In the end, Qian Fan made history on the Douluo Continent by becoming a Soul King at six years old.

Upon his return, Qian Fan lived up to everyone's expectations.

After consolidating his soul power for several years, he broke through to Soul Emperor, once again rewriting the history of the Douluo Continent.
