Chapter 1, Time Travel
Douluo Continent, within the Heaven Dou Empire
A small village outside Soto City in the Kingdom of Barak
"Huh, did I travel through time? This is ridiculous!"
A three-year-old child got up from the ground, looked at his hands, and muttered to himself.
"Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen, your grandpa is back."
An old man was calling out from outside.
The little boy's name is Li Luochen. He is a time traveler who has just regained his memories of his past life. He is now three years old and his soul can withstand the memories of his past life. Before he was three years old, Li Luochen's mind was sometimes clear and sometimes he would have a seizure because of his memories.
"Hey, you're in pretty good shape these days. Stop shouting about resurrection, my love. The king cannot be insulted. Who's claiming to be invincible now? Let grandpa have a look."
The old man in front of them, dressed like a farmer, was a genuine Soul King powerhouse, Li Luochen's grandfather, Li Yusong.
That's right, it's Li Yusong, a teacher at Shrek Academy, who is now 48 years old. His soul power level is 58.
Li Luochen blushed upon hearing his grandfather's words. Good heavens, does he talk so outrageously when his memory is confused? Who called himself invincible? I can't handle this karma.
"Grandpa, I think my head is fine now. I just fell down, and it seems like the fall has made me normal again."
Li Luochen looked at his grandfather. Speaking of which, Li Luochen, who had transmigrated, shared most of the commonalities with his fellow transmigrators.
Li Luochen had no parents. His parents were also Soul Masters, but they encountered two ten-thousand-year-old Soul Beasts while hunting Soul Beasts with a Soul Master team and unfortunately died in their mouths. Only his grandfather, Li Yusong, remained in the family.
After Li Luochen's parents passed away when Li Luochen was only one year old, Li Yusong was devastated upon hearing the news. The pain of losing a son in old age is immense, so he took extra care of his only grandson.
Although Li Luochen was sometimes smart and sometimes not when he was young, he was extremely smart when he was smart, and extremely silly when he was silly, for example, he would say some cringeworthy things.
This is the problem of merging the memories of two lifetimes. Just now, when Li Luochen was having his usual crazy episode, he fell and came back to normal, and his memories were sorted out as a result.
Li Luochen's body instincts were dependent on his grandfather, Li Yusong, since he was often mentally challenged. Despite this, Li Yusong never complained and continued to raise Li Luochen well.
Because Li Yusong is a Soul King, he has the ability to take good care of Li Luochen. Li Luochen has no lack of nutrition. Li Yusong even went out of his way to find a medicinal bath for body tempering and foundation building, which Li Luochen can soak in several times a month.
"Oh really? Who am I? What's my name?"
Li Yusong looked incredulous. Although his grandson was sometimes very clever, he was mostly quite abnormal. But Li Yusong didn't care; he could support his grandson for the rest of his life.
"You're my grandfather. Your name is Li Yusong. My name is Li Luochen. My parents' names are..."
Upon hearing this, Li Yusong almost burst into tears. His silly grandson had finally returned to normal. It seemed that God hadn't been playing a joke on him.
"Xiao Chen, you've only just woken up, have you? You'll probably turn back into your old self soon."
Li Yusong no longer wants his grandson to become mentally disabled again.
"It shouldn't be like that anymore. Before, my mind was all foggy and confused, like I was having a nightmare. Now I feel clear-headed," Li Luochen said, rubbing his head. After all, he had fallen quite hard and still had a big bump on the back of his head.
"Hahahaha, great! Old Li's precious grandson is finally back to normal! Xiao Chen, Grandpa's going to get a big wild boar today to celebrate your return to normalcy, how about that?"
Li Yusong is in a very good mood now; his luck has finally turned around.
"Okay, Grandpa, please be careful. We can eat Grandpa's barbecue again. Grandpa's barbecue is really amazing."
Because Li Luochen's parents died early, Li Yusong raised the child alone. He was truly skilled in everything, capable in both social and domestic settings, and equally adept at academics and martial arts.
Three-year-old Li Luochen is now chubby and fair-skinned, with short black hair, big eyes, and an extremely cute appearance—the kind of person that everyone adores.
Li Yusong packed his things and set off. With his strength, taking down a wild boar was a piece of cake.
"I've transmigrated, and it feels pretty real. Is Grandpa Li Yusong? I think he has the Dragon Pattern Staff martial soul in my memory? Could he be that admissions teacher at Shrek Academy?"
Although my grandfather wasn't particularly talented, he was still a Soul King, a powerful figure in the small town, and he was indeed a very good teacher.
The teachings they gave me when I first started learning were very detailed, but my memories were scattered and I was a little slow at the time, though thankfully I'm back to normal now.
Li Luochen lay under a big tree in front of the house. Li Luochen's home was in a village outside Soto City, which was quite quiet, but that was because Li Luochen used to have crazy episodes.
Because he was often gossiped about when he went crazy, Grandpa Li Yusong often got angry. He would only calm down after using his martial spirit to intimidate the gossip. After all, who would dare to mess with a Soul King in such a small place?
"I wonder what kind of martial soul I will awaken. It should be the same dragon pattern staff as my grandfather. I just don't know what level of innate soul power I will have. Innate soul power is ultimately determined by the upper limit. My grandfather's innate soul power was level five, and he only became a Soul King at that age because he didn't have the resources."
Douluo Continent, Soul Beasts, Soul Rings, Soul Bones, Gods, Immortal Herbs, Empires, Nobles, Academy, Spirit Hall
"Although this world is considered the bottom tier, it's still a cultivation world. The world is treacherous. I don't know if I can survive in this world. I need to know what stage I'm in before I can understand what's happening."
Li Luochen doesn't plan to think too much right now. If he awakens his martial soul but has no soul power, or his soul power is low, then it will be very difficult. At most, he can just run away and live out his life.
However, as an indomitable soul from Earth, I couldn't let this rare opportunity to cultivate in the world go to waste. Unfortunately, in my previous life, my family and friends were still alive, yet I died young. But how did I die? I have no idea.
"Since we're here, let's make the best of it. If we have good talent, we can try to become gods and gain eternal life. If that doesn't work, we can strive to become a titled Douluo and become a revered monarch. We can live for two hundred years."
If you lack talent, then find a village to retire early. Take Grandpa with you before you go. As for where to go... by the sea. He hardly ever saw the sea in his past life. If his cultivation isn't going to work in this life, then he'll just have to make a living off the sea.
Being a fisherman isn't so bad, is it?
In a second life, one should prioritize magnanimity, provided one has low talent. If one has high talent, then it will be a case of the wicked eating the wicked, since killing and robbing are common occurrences on the path of cultivation.
The sun was about to set when Li Yusong finally returned. Judging from the old man's good mood, he must have had a good harvest.
"Grandpa, you're back! How was the harvest?"
"Haha, I'm in luck today. I was originally planning to hunt a wild boar, but I unexpectedly stumbled upon a forest boar with ten years of cultivation. The meat of this kind of soul beast is tender and delicious, perfect for making delicacies. It's sure to be a staple on the tables of nobles. Xiao Chen, let Grandpa prepare this boar properly."
