--- Chapter 201 ---
Han Yuan closed his eyes and sensed he was drifting in a familiar stream again. This sensation can't be wrong. There is no mistake that this place was the "void" he knew.
Of course, unlike when the "void" pulled Han Yuan in, this time, he went in himself. His mind is clear of the task he was about to do.
Assisting Xiao Yixian, also known as the Little Fairy Doctor, in dealing with her Woeful Poison Body could yield substantial rewards based on his accomplishment rate.
Even if Han Yuan wasn't so successful in completing Xiao Yixian's request, he still got permanent access to the BTTH. Then, again, he didn't plan to have low accomplishment.
Unfortunately, Han Yuan couldn't savor the comfortable sensation for too long as another force abruptly pulled him away. The sudden tug made him gasp as the surrounding darkness instantly transformed into a starry sky.
"At least let me enjoy this calmness for a minute, you fuck-!"
He couldn't help but complain. However, there is no one to reply to him, only coldness.
...
...
Dou Qi Continent - North-Western Region.
Beneath the starry sky, a lone star appeared to have diverged from its path and crash-landed on the earth below. This star, colorless yet so bright, caught the attention of the consciousness of the Dou Qi Plane.
"An outsider?" A living spirit emerged from thin air, gazing at the lone star with intrigue. "How rare… and his soul is very pure…"
"I don't know who you are, but to possess such a unique soul, you must have been an incredible person in your previous life. Unfortunately, my world doesn't need another Son of Destiny; perhaps it's not destined to be…"
"I can designate him as the Son of Plane..." A second thought flashed in the Dou Qi Plane's consciousness. However, it quickly diminished such a thought.
What Dou Qi Plane currently needs isn't a protector. Sure, the world has declined slightly and hasn't produced any Dou God for a while, but it was a matter of time.
However, the possibility of invasion wouldn't happen. After all, unlike Douluo Plane, this world doesn't have the Son of Corruption.
There are unorthodoxies, but that's normal when the world has prospered for too long. It was a sign of a breakthrough.
"I mean... The Son of Destiny's position wasn't on the stone yet."
Dou Qi Plane's consciousness found itself torn between two options: a reincarnated soul from another world that it had chosen to become the Son of Destiny, or this newcomer.
Finally, the living spirit chose not to decide and instead split its blessing in half.
The one who would become the Son of Destiny would be the individual capable of making the first change in the world and elevating the Dou Qi Plane to a higher realm!
It was a gamble. After all, two souls could self-destruct upon meeting each other due to conflicts, potentially stalling the Dou Qi Plane's development for another million years.
But with high risk comes high reward. The living spirit understood the dangers of blessing two souls but was eager to take the chance for a greater gain!
"I hope I made the right bet..." The plane's consciousness sighed.
"Please, don't let me down..."
...
Han Yuan was unaware that he had become a half Son of Destiny in the Dou Qi Plane. If he had known, he would have been concerned, as the spirit of this world was too lenient. However, since it was ultimately a beneficial situation, he won't reject it.
I mean, who wouldn't like stumbling on lucky encounters constantly on their path of cultivation?
Oh, look, a random golden jade rock with a heavenly moon jade beauty's soul inside it. Oh, my god, this jade beauty is actually an immortal from a higher cultivation world. Hurry, I must magically make her my wife before she leaves me because of a random disaster I caused-something like that.
Of course, since Han Yuan didn't know this, he had not much of an expectation.
Anyway, at this very moment, Han Yuan's soul moved into the soulless body of a boy. Deep in the forest, among the wrecked carriage and corpses, a pair of eyes gradually opened.
Those eyes are clear, devoid of the panic a child his age should feel. For a moment, those eyes turn silver before returning to deep brown, filled with profound emotion.
A faint milky energy burst from the child's temple, waiting for a rejection from the world, but surprisingly, nothing came.
"No rejection?"
"Huh, isn't this world too accommodating?"
"Really, there is nothing?" A thought flashed in the child's mind as he unhurriedly got up from the ground. Sore and pain gnawed on his young body, but he ignored it because this amount of pain was nothing.
Han Yuan was stunned for a moment before gaining his bearings and observing his surroundings calmly.
Ruins.
[Ding! Task Master, the transfer is successful.]
[Would you like to receive your predecessor's memory?]
"Sure." Han Yuan was about to ask, but having a system like this is really helpful.
After receiving a brief but condensed memory, Han Yuan couldn't help but feel pity for the boy whose body he now inhabited.
The boy was young—only five years old. On the day his Dou Qi awakened, allowing him to become a 1st Level Dou Disciple, his whole family decided to celebrate in the city.
Tragically, they were attacked by a group of bandits while returning home through the forest, resulting in their untimely demise.
Surprisingly, the boy's name is Han Yuan.
(A/N: Yeah, I don't want to get a headache and make a new name for the protagonist. Since the story is going to be on a multiversal scale, I can't constantly write his names, that would be torture lol)
[Ding! Would you like to accept a sub-quest?]
"Hmm?" Han Yuan narrowed his eyes. "Show me the quest."
[The Boy's Great Dream]
[Introduction: You now possess the body of a boy who died young due to an unfortunate event and was unable to fulfill his dreams. By living out his dreams, his soul can find peace.
Objective No. 1: Reach the Dou Emperor Realm!
Objective No. 2: Marry a beautiful wife; if possible, marry three—one to play with me, one to cook and feed me, and the other to protect me!
Objective No. 3: Make the Han Clan Great Again!]
[Do you want to accept this quest?]
[Yes/No]
"Holy damn, kid, you wanted three wives to take care of you." Han Yuan's mouth twitched slightly. Albeit speechless, he had to acknowledge this little boy's grand dream.
It was noble for sure.
As for the first and third objectives, Han Yuan would do it eventually, as it is natural for him to reach the Dou Emperor Realm soon, and so is making the Han Clan great again. Of course, his Han Clan will be even bigger than the Eight Ancient Clans one day!
Anyway, his goal was to set a base in this world first.
Suddenly, Han Yuan got jolted out of his thoughts by a presence.
It was a man dressed in bandit-like attire: a green robe and bandana, with a mean look on his face, stepping out of the thick bushes with a surprised expression. "Oh, you actually survived?"
"It seems my boys are incompetent and too soft these days. They actually let a kid survive."
Han Yuan stared at the man calmly and said, "You're the one who killed my family."
"Haha, you're right. But don't blame me for it, kid. Blame your family for being unlucky to offend someone from Purple Leaf City." The bandit laughed in response.
Han Yuan's eyes darkened. "So, my family offended someone, and that was more than enough for them to order you around like hunting dogs to slaughter us all?"
"I see... No matter what world I am in, a few things won't change for better or worse..."
"Haha, don't worry, kid. That's just how the world works. I won't let you suffer too much and will send you to your family soon." A faint crimson light appeared on the bandit's palm. Fire attribute Dou Qi!
Seeing this, Han Yuan figured that the man was a Dou Practitioner Expert who had cultivated a fire attribute Dou Technique; however, the specific level of cultivation remained unspecified. He could be anywhere from a 1 Star to a 9-Star Dou Practitioner.
Usually, Han Yuan would show off his spirit energy pressure and crush his enemy like crushing an ant. It was an instinctual response, but then he remembered this wasn't the Douluo Continent.
There is no spirit energy, nor kind of magic, only Dou Qi (Battle Aura or Energy)!
Han Yuan felt awkward at his emergency.
Fortunately, he wouldn't experience a back-to-back reincarnation, as he had in the Douluo Continent.
There is no Asura here to mess with his life!
And he wasn't that powerless.
Meanwhile, the bandit grinned upon seeing Han Yuan stagger and fall into dead silence. 'Hah, as expected of a brat, he was so frightened that he became a statue!'
'Kuku, don't worry, I will make it quick!'
"Flame Serpent Palm!" The bandit launched a palm attack toward Han Yuan.
Heat brushed Han Yuan's face as his body moved slightly and dodged the incoming attack. The lightning-fast evasion surprised the bandit for a bit, but he didn't give up and launched another palm strike.
Unknown to the bandit, a nail floated from the ground nearby and flew straight into the back of his head.
Swoosh!
STAB!
A blurry object hurled at unimaginable speed!
A small hole appeared on the bandit's forehead as he dropped dead on the ground with a dumbfounded look.
'W-What happened?' That was his thought before he passed away.
"Telekinesis. You didn't see that coming, right?" Han Yuan stared at the corpse below, and a rusty nail covered with blood and brain bits. "At least the spiritual power works just fine here, though it was much weaker than I anticipated. I could only control a small object for now."
"As for condensing my spiritual power into a weapon, let's forget about it. Maybe because I wasn't used to this body yet."
"Sigh, how embarrassing..."
Thus, that's how Han Yuan's first day in the Dou Qi Plane starts.
