Wulin had believed that he had tamed the power of the Lone King, that he had conquered its madness and made its power bend to his will. In truth, he hadn't even scratched the surface. He was no Dragon King, he was just a fake.
'But that will change.' Shooting upward Wulin decided to go to a more easily endurable level, the Upper Layer almost seeming pleasant when compared to the Middle Layer. In the end, however, that didn't quite matter.
[Hm? What are you—Wulin?!] Looking around in a panic Tang San didn't know what his son was doing as he was suddenly forced to take control of his child's body. It was flawed and didn't really allow him much movement but Tang San could tell that wasn't the point. 'You wanted to be alone that badly?' Wulin's mindscape was blocked off entirely and not even he could see inside.
A sea of crimson blocked off the entire space however hints of gold were slowly peering through as well. Even with all his experience and wisdom, Tang San couldn't begin to understand what was going on there.
'Why is everything with the Dragon God so complicated?' Sighing internally Tang San closed his eyes and mimicked his son's earlier actions. It didn't take much effort to follow the Golden Asura Purification method but it would at least let him take his mind off things. 'Good luck Wulin.' It was a funny thing to say in the Sea God's opinion. After all, Wulin was the last person to need luck.
|DD|
Looking around his mindscape Wulin was unsurprised to find it as normal as ever. Nothing was different if you excluded his father who he had pushed out. But that was to be expected, after all, nothing would appear different if you had never seen the former state.
"The seals my father made… well obviously they didn't work but I had underestimated things a bit." Laughing at his own past self Wulin couldn't see any differences but he knew he was correct, he had to be.
The seals his father had made were a smart choice. With it, they could protect Wulin's body from the invasive blood of the Golden Dragon King who desired his body and his mind from the madness of numerous gods and fifteen God Kings.
But that was only if they had worked. Why they had failed, Wulin wasn't sure. It could be that his father simply failed to create them in time or it could be that the Lone King's blood was stronger than the Sea God had expected.
However, no matter the reason the end result did not change. The seals did not form and the body of Tang Wulin, son of the Sea God, was filled to the brim with the Lone King's essence. In normal situations, that would be the end of the Douluo planet. Everything would die without exception after the Golden Dragon King's rebirth.
But he came along. Grace Mirchea Luslec, a humble boy raised to be the perfect little robot encyclopedia, a test subject that would push the limits of humanity to the extremes. He had taken over the body of Tang Wulin instead and with that the Golden Dragon King disappeared forever more.
Or did he? Wulin had thought so, he believed that in the process of taking over this body one of two things had happened. He either pushed out the Golden Dragon King's soul or devoured it, both of which ended with the Lone King's death.
"I thought you were supposed to be madness personified, why are you so crafty?" Glancing at the floor of his spiritual sea, the crimson liquid bubbling like blood Wulin was growing more confident he was correct by the second.
Crimson water exploded into the sky as a golden dragon rose into the sky, a deafening roar sending towering waves through the spiritual sea. Looking up at the magnificent creature Wulin couldn't help but feel awe. That was him in a way, his true body inhabited by another if you will.
"Son of the Sea God!" Roaring hatefully the true Golden Dragon King glared at him hatefully, his gold eyes glaring at Wulin hatefully. "Don't treat me like some kind of toy you shitty brat!!!" Pressure rolled off the dragon in waves as it exuded the full might of the fearsome Golden Dragon King.
Humming to himself Wulin quickly looked over the dragon. He was smaller than Wulin had expected, about the size of a bus or two, and his attitude was far different as well. Rather than madness incarnate he seemed more like…
"You're a bit childish aren't you?" Whether it be his vulgarity or tone he seemed to be a boy in the midst of puberty. As much as Wulin would have liked it to be a coincidence, it surely wasn't knowing his luck. "Were you combined with Tang Wulin then?"
Clearly taken aback the dragon landed on the crimson sea heavily, his towering body sending waves in all directions once more. Slowly the dragon morphed into a nearly identical form of Wulin, no that was wrong from the very beginning. They were one and the same from the very start.
Their only difference was their hair and eyes. The Tang Wulin calling himself Luslec had the same crimson features of Annihilation whereas the Golden Dragon King now named Tang Wulin had the golden attributes of the Golden Dragon King.
"You son of a bitch! Look what you did to me! That body should've been mine!" Screaming at Wulin with pure hatred Wulin was shaking from head to toe. The fact that Golden Wulin would've been in the same situation mentally with or without his interference was immensely amusing to Red Wulin.
Lunging forward hatefully, Golden Wulin tried to obliterate Red Wulin's skull like a watermelon and he had more than enough power to do it. Unfortunately, neither the Lone King nor the infantile Tang Wulin had learned much of martial arts so it was sloppy.
So sloppy that Red Wulin managed to deflect the blow without even using a drop of the Golden Dragon King's essence. Grabbing Gold Wulin's outstretched fist Red Wulin pulled him forward, his leg wrapping around Gold Wulin's own limb.
Falling to the ground, Gold Wulin couldn't believe what was happening. Though he couldn't utilize anything more than |Level 1| even in the mindscape he still had the power of a title douluo and then some!
Meanwhile, Red Wulin was at most at the level of a soul sage. His body had grown immensely under the tutelage of the Body Sect but there were still two major realms between them! The most imperative of them all at that! Even a single level should make a world of difference
So why was it that Gold Wulin was the one falling?!

Hey there, hope you liked the chapter.
If it isn't already obvious, Gold Wulin is Cannon Wulin and Golden Dragon King while Red Wulin is our beloved main character. I initially planned on calling Gold Wulin just Wulin while Red Wulin would be Luslec but I changed my mind since this seemed funnier. What do you guys think?
