Synopsis
As soon as I transmigrated, I saw two hydrogen men quickly approaching me, saying something like: “We’re late! Little brother Yuhao seems to have been attacked. These soul beasts are getting bolder and bolder— they’ve already come out of the Star Dou Forest!” Me: ??? That’s weird. Let me take another look. Oh— I’m also a hydrogen man. Never mind, then. The Eye of Truth deconstructs the world — knowledge itself is power. So-called gods are merely those who have mastered immense power. Those who hold power do not necessarily possess knowledge. But those who possess knowledge will always be able to control power.

Chapter 1 - Chapter 1 – Tang San’s Ominous Premonition, The Interrupted Chant

On the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest in the Douluo Continent, a battle that shook heaven and earth was drawing to a close — a battle that, under normal circumstances, would have been remembered for millennia as a legendary clash.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao, the future Spirit Ice Douluo, God of Emotion, Master of the Spirit Transmission Tower, and Tang San's fated "child of fortune," was already kneeling weakly on the ground, beaten down by a mere ten-year-ranked Soul Beast, a Wind Baboon.

Even here, not far from the forest's dangerous depths, the outer trails of the Star Dou Great Forest were crawling with low-level Soul Beasts.

If not for the protection of his blessing of fate, Huo Yuhao would have long since shared the fate of those reckless soul masters who'd ventured here before him — ending up as "takeout" for the beasts.

Not far away, a white ten-year spirit ring rose into the air — the symbol of a Soul Beast's death. The Wind Baboon, once a rising star among Soul Beasts and a half-step God-slayer, had fallen.

And with the fall of that legendary beast, the future of Huo Yuhao — the path that would one day become a legend of its own — was supposed to begin from this very moment.

But now, things were different. For some reason, after being struck by the Wind Baboon's final blow, Huo Yuhao never stood up again.

At the same time, a thread of light invisible to the naked eye descended from beyond the realm of this world, streaking toward the Douluo Continent.

At the weakest point of the continent's chosen "Child of Fortune," that mysterious light fell directly into his sea of consciousness.

Huo Yuhao's already fragile awareness completely dissipated, leaving behind only his memories and lingering will — faint traces proving that he had once existed.

Meanwhile, in the God Realm, Tang San, who was seated calmly in the Committee Hall, observing the mortal world through the God Realm Core, suddenly felt his heart seize up.

An uneasy premonition welled up within him.

He immediately turned his attention to the God Realm Core, scanning repeatedly — but after several thorough checks, he still found nothing unusual.

"Forget it, maybe it's just my imagination. The current Tang Sect Master should have already made contact with the Child of Fortune of the Douluo Continent under my influence. Soon… yes, very soon, my grand plan of ten thousand years will finally begin!"

Suppressing his excitement, a faint smile appeared on Tang San's lips. Even so, he remained cautious.

To avoid being detected by the God of Destruction, he dared not make any further moves on the Douluo Star.

Back in the mortal world, Huo Yuhao's appearance was pitiful. His shoulders bore long, bloody gashes left by the Wind Baboon's claws.

His upper clothes were nearly torn to pieces, and he lay face down on the ground, breathing shallowly and weakly. His body had always been frail — and after such injuries, there was no way for him to rise again.

But now, a foreign consciousness was inhabiting this broken body, struggling to control it. The newcomer felt as though his body didn't belong to him at all — because, in truth, it didn't.

"Ugh… my head hurts so much, my vision's spinning. Damn it, I only stayed up all night — why does my whole body ache this badly? I can barely breathe… what the hell's going on? Am I about to drop dead?"

The young man, who had just pulled an all-nighter, woke from what he thought was a normal sleep only to find unbearable pain coursing through his entire body — especially in his chest and back.

Everything before his eyes blurred into a whirl of color.

He tried to open his eyes wider, forcing himself to rise, but the searing pain made him collapse again.

He strained to look around, tried to call for help — but not a single sound came out.

"No way… am I really going to die here? Damn it, move — come on, move, body!"

Had he been paying attention, he would have noticed that his surroundings were no longer his dorm room. The air was cold and damp under the shadows of towering trees, and the metallic scent of blood mingled with the ache of his fading vitality.

There was no time to think. The last thing he remembered was playing games all night with his roommates, then crashing into bed in exhaustion.

Now, it felt like his body had been ravaged by some monstrous creature.

"No way… did I catch something? That can't be it — I've heard people lose their voices when they get sick, but since when does that cause blindness too?"

After struggling uselessly, the boy finally gave up, lying flat on the ground. This wounded, fragile body could no longer endure any movement.

Just then, through his fading vision, he saw a platinum-white sphere of light rapidly speeding toward him.

Aside from the dazzling glow, his mind felt as if it were being drowned and spun violently — like his brain was trapped inside a washing machine.

"Wha—what is this? Am I hallucinating?"

The glowing sphere stopped briefly in front of him — then rushed forward and slammed straight into his chest.

A surge of piercing cold enveloped him, and all the pain in his body vanished in an instant.

His vision went completely white. The blinding chaos around him dissolved, replaced by an endless, pure-white space.

He had entered the spiritual sea — the inner world of consciousness belonging to this body.

There, the remnants of Huo Yuhao's will and memories began merging into his own, and the body slowly began to accept the presence of this new soul.

Outside, the Skydream Iceworm watched the boy's limp form, muttering in frustration.

"Don't tell me this kid's gone stupid from the fall? Why isn't my spiritual link getting a response?"

"Ah, forget it. Guess I'll have to take the loss. There's no one else suitable nearby anyway. Fine, it's decided — you're the one, kid. You'd better survive!"

The Skydream Iceworm nervously glanced toward the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest. The fierce beasts there would soon realize he'd escaped.

If he didn't quickly become someone's Wisdom Spirit Ring and conceal his aura, he'd be captured and killed without question.

Reluctant but desperate, the Iceworm pressed his head against the boy's forehead.

Ten golden rings of light began to ripple along his massive, translucent body in rhythmic pulses.

Through a series of complex spiritual manipulations, the Skydream Iceworm sealed his vast energy and mental power into Huo Yuhao's body.

Instantly, the boy's injuries began to heal. The blood that had spilled from his wounds flowed back into his veins, leaving only his torn clothing unrepaired.

At the same time, a surge of powerful spiritual energy burst outward, stunning countless creatures in the southern Star Dou Great Forest.

All across the region, beasts fell into temporary stupor under the Iceworm's immense psychic shockwave.

And drawn by that vast wave of energy — and guided by the subtle force of fate surrounding Huo Yuhao — another presence began to descend.

The one destined to be his teacher, Electrolux.

The sky, once clear and bright, suddenly dimmed. Thunder roared through the heavens as if tearing the sky apart.

Darkness enveloped the sun — not a shadow, but a rift in space itself.

From that fracture poured a suffocating pressure that shook even the fiercest Soul Beasts of the forest. Only the Beast God, Di Tian, remained conscious beneath it.

"Roar! Divine might? But it doesn't come from the God Realm… could it be a god from another world?"

The enormous black dragon snorted, closing his golden eyes once more.

Whether the gods from another realm descended or not — that was a problem for the God Realm, not him.

His only duty was to guard the Soul Beast race, to await the day when the Silver Dragon King would heal, awaken, and lead them to reclaim dominion over the Douluo Star.

"Roar! Divine might? But this doesn't feel like power from the God Realm… could it be a god from another world?"

Letting out a cold snort, the massive black dragon closed his golden eyes once more and sank back into slumber.

If a deity from another world had truly descended, then it was a matter for the gods of the God Realm to worry about — not him.

His duty was singular and absolute: to guard the Soul Beast race's sovereign, awaiting the Silver Dragon King's recovery and eventual awakening — the moment she would once again lead the Soul Beasts to rule over the Douluo Star.

As for whether the God Realm would face turmoil due to the descent of an alien god… what did that have to do with Di Tian, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King?

Meanwhile, the Skydream Iceworm, still in the midst of channeling his power into Huo Yuhao, suddenly looked up at the heavens.

From the depths of that vast, dark spatial rift, he saw a stream of gray mist descending slowly toward them.

A mix of shock and confusion flickered through the Iceworm's eyes — the pressure and divine energy radiating from that gray aura were beyond anything he had ever felt.

Even the Beast God Di Tian had never given him such an oppressive feeling. The only time he had ever sensed a comparable presence was deep within the Lake of Life, from a being he dared not even name.

In the next instant, the gray stream fell silently, seeping directly into the back of Huo Yuhao's head.

Seeing this, the Skydream Iceworm's calm instantly shattered, his anger flaring.

"What the hell?! Who dares to steal my host from me!?"

Flaring his immense spiritual power, he lashed out at the gray energy.

At that moment, a vague, indistinct figure appeared behind Huo Yuhao's body. A deep, ancient voice echoed — carrying an indescribable majesty:

"To grasp the sun and moon, to pluck the stars — there is none like me in all the world."

"To think that even a fragment of my soul could endure… fate truly plays its tricks."

Ignoring the Iceworm's spiritual attack and fury, the phantom form drifted forward and merged completely into Huo Yuhao's body, vanishing into his mind.

For Electrolux, even a mere remnant of his consciousness commanded respect — but only for the one who offered him shelter, Huo Yuhao.

As for the Skydream Iceworm? Even as a million-year Soul Beast, he was nothing more than a child before Electrolux's divine soul. If the ancient necromancer wished, he could crush the Iceworm's consciousness with a mere thought — using the Iceworm's own spiritual energy against him.

As Electrolux entered Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, his presence quieted.

He condensed into a small gray pearl, settling into a corner of the vast white expanse to begin restoring himself.

Within that same spiritual sea, the boy — now conscious of his surroundings — also noticed the foreign object.

"Wait a second… this gray bead…"

Sorting through the fragments of memory and seeing the pearl at his feet, the boy finally pieced together what had happened.

"Oh, come on… talk about bad luck! Of all times to transmigrate, it had to be when this body was half-dead? Or maybe I should call it luck — if Electrolux is here, then that means the Skydream Iceworm must be next."

With no further interruptions, the Skydream Iceworm at last succeeded in sealing his power and molten essence within Huo Yuhao's body.

Moments later, he too descended into Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea. Ten platinum spheres of light and countless golden motes appeared in the once-pure white space, coalescing into a magnificent scene — followed by the arrival of a plump, glossy worm that looked both majestic and oddly adorable.

The ten platinum spheres slowly stabilized in midair. The floating golden motes drifted downward, forming a shimmering golden ocean that supported the glowing orbs like celestial bodies resting upon waves of light.

"Huh… so this human already has a spiritual sea — and it's quite spacious too. Saves me the trouble of building one myself!"

"Wait a second… why can't I find this human's memories? That's strange. They should be stored right here. Don't tell me the Wind Baboon really smacked him stupid? Ah, just my luck…"

Seeing the enormous bug suddenly appear before him, the boy — or rather, Huo Yuhao—twitched the corner of his mouth and said dryly,

"Hey, big bug, could you not do weird things inside someone's spiritual sea?"

The Skydream Iceworm turned around awkwardly, rubbing his stubby little limbs together.

"Big bug? Who are you calling big bug? The name's Skydream! Skydream Iceworm! From now on, you call me Brother Skydream, got it?"

"Alright, Brother Skydream," Huo Yuhao replied with obedient calm — though inwardly, he repeated over and over, "Fat bug, fat bug, big chubby bug…"

The Iceworm didn't seem to notice. Beaming proudly, he said,

"Haha! That's more like it. I'm a dignified million-year Soul Beast — stick with me, and you'll have endless benefits in the future!"

"Sure, your body's weak and your talent's terrible, but with me — a million-year soul as your first spirit ring — I'll make you soar to greatness!"

"Hmm… looks like he can't read my thoughts. Probably a side effect of the transmigration, or something else entirely," Huo Yuhao mused internally.

"Anyway, I'll test that later. As for the original Huo Yuhao's memories — I must have absorbed them, which explains why he can't find any trace. For now, I should focus on getting out of here. I can't assume everything will unfold exactly like the original story."

Just as the Skydream Iceworm was about to continue his grandiose speech, the boy interrupted him.

"Whatever you're planning to say, Brother Skydream, can we save it for later? Let's get out of the Star Dou Great Forest first."

"Please let me leave the spiritual sea — I'd rather not become some Soul Beast's afternoon snack," Huo Yuhao sighed helplessly.

Cut off mid-boast, the Skydream Iceworm pouted but couldn't find a good retort.

"With me here, what are you afraid of? Even if Di Tian himself—" He paused. "Alright, maybe not Di Tian. But if it's just a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast, I can totally scare it off!"
