The soft halo was like a mother's hand, gently caressing the delicate texture of the mist. The ethereal space had an unusually captivating sense of reality. In the distance, a majestic palace seemed to loom, appearing both illusory and tangible under the tender touch of the light.

A solitary figure stood quietly amidst the mist, holding a transparent, crystalline sphere, seemingly crafted from the finest crystal. Within this sphere, a light akin to the sun radiated brilliance, but whenever these rays touched the outer surface of the crystal sphere, they were completely reflected back.

"The will of the Douluo Star's plane? Heh, there's nothing I, Sea God Tang San, desire that I cannot obtain!"

This person, or rather this entity speaking to itself, was none other than the divine enforcer of the God Realm, the dual god of Shura and Sea, Tang San.

"Unfortunately, if it weren't for the protection of the laws of heaven and earth, I could have directly killed you and let my father take over. By now, Douluo Star would have been the private property of my Tang family," Tang San's lips curled into a scornful smile. "But you actually used up your last bit of strength trying to create a savior for your plane? Heh, that saves me the trouble of going through elaborate schemes."

"Watch closely, the savior you've created will become a dog that follows my Tang family's every command under my cunning strategies. And when he ascends to the God Realm, it will be the day you completely disappear!"

"My little Qi seems very interested in Douluo Star, where Xiao Wu and I once stayed. If possible, I could arrange for her to descend and bond with this so-called savior, making him our loyal hound effortlessly."

"I'll consider splitting little Qi into a male and a female entity, with the male suppressing the savior and the female silently protecting him, eventually merging the two to keep him by my side. No, that doesn't seem right."

"Little Qi has the bloodline of soul beasts. I could split her into two soul beasts and have her meet the savior in the Star Dou Forest. That might work... No, that doesn't seem quite right either."

"Ah, I've got it."

Just as the pure and immaculate Sea God was lost in his infinite daydreams about the future, a soft call suddenly came from behind him.

"Brother San, come here."

Hearing the call from his sword sheath—no, his beloved Xiao Wu, Tang San hurriedly handed the crystal sphere imprisoning the will of the Douluo plane to a subordinate second-class deity who had been waiting nearby.

After tidying his attire, Tang San quickly walked away. If one listened closely, they might catch the Sea God's somewhat frustrated muttering.

"Come to think of it, Xiao Wu was originally a 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit turned human. Rabbits are highly reproductive, so why don't I have a son yet? Could it be that I have a problem... No, I'll have to get the God of Medicine to check me thoroughly someday."

Within the crystal sphere, the will of the Douluo Continent suddenly flashed with a golden brilliance, but this light flickered away in an instant, unnoticed even by the deity guarding it.

Douluo Continent, outskirts of the Star Dou Forest.

A small and somewhat weak figure was running desperately, pursued closely by a black silhouette.

If one looked carefully, they would see that it was a baboon about a meter tall, covered in tawny fur, with brown eyes, long arms with sharp claws, and exposed canine teeth emitting a fierce glow from its eyes.

"Hello everyone, I'm Huo Yuhao, and I'm about to be done for."

"Damn it, where's the promised transmigrator's perks? Didn't I transmigrate into the powerful Huo Yuhao? But where's my White Tiger Dagger? Without it, how am I supposed to kill this Wind Baboon?"

The supposed savior of the plane, Huo Yuhao, the founder of Shrek City's food stall business, was now like a headless chicken, trying to evade the Wind Baboon's attacks with his less-than-fast speed.

Yet, coincidentally, despite the Wind Baboon's ten years of battle experience, it always narrowly missed Huo Yuhao with each strike.

You ask why Huo Yuhao calls himself a transmigrator? It's because he has become Huo—Soul Transmigration—Yuhao!

Huo Yuhao's soul was previously that of a person from the Blue Star. Unlike ordinary Blue Star people, he was once a top assassin trained from a young age by a powerful organization.

After flawlessly completing another mission, he was heartlessly killed by the organization's leader, sent to the underworld with a cup of poisoned wine.

Unexpectedly, he didn't die but caught the wave of transmigration. Using the residual memories in his mind, he quickly understood whose body he had transmigrated into.

He had transmigrated to the era of "Douluo Dalu II: Peerless Tang Sect," becoming the protagonist, Huo Yuhao.

The moment he transmigrated was exactly when Huo Yuhao encountered the pinnacle of soul beast power on the Douluo Continent—the true Beast God and almost god-slayer, the Wind Baboon.

Some assassins like to cut hair during their free time, others enjoy raising little pink-haired girls during their downtime, but he preferred to spend his leisure time reading web novels.

Therefore, he not only knew the ending of the first book where the Sea God fought the Twin Gods but also the plot in the fourth book where Lan Xuanyu gave his grandfather Tang San a resounding slap.

In fact, during a rare vacation, he had binge-read from the first to the fourth book of the Douluo Continent series, which left his mind somewhat unhinged, nearly causing him to fail and lose his life on his next mission.

Indeed, reading the entire Douluo Continent tetralogy from start to finish was too much, even for someone like him, who had undergone harsh training and had a resilient mind.

Especially "Peerless Tang Sect," which completely shattered his worldview. Despite being a top assassin with a twisted worldview, he hadn't expected the mental state of that author to be even more extreme than his own!

Huo Yuhao's appearance was supposed to be the final rescue attempt by the Douluo plane's will against Tang San. He was endowed with immense expectations, starting with a million-year soul ring as a foundation and even possessing a dual extreme power of the Spirit Eye martial soul and Ultimate Ice martial soul.

Even that wasn't enough. Huo Yuhao also had a demigod tutor from another plane, who provided him with a god-level undead martial soul, making him the first ever triple martial soul wielder in the continent's history.

Such a perfect start, even if played by someone as dim-witted as Guo Jing, would lead to an easy path to godhood. But Huo Yuhao messed it up completely.

He claimed to be driven by revenge for his mother, a vow that was repeated so often readers got tired of hearing it, but under the enlightenment of Tang San's divine light, he chose to forgive, even helping his deadbeat father ascend to the God Realm.

Worst of all, Huo Yuhao's "Huo" turned into the surname "Dai" in the God Realm. When he knelt to Dai Mubai, it was done swiftly and decisively.

His lifelong mentor, Electrolux, was forced to burn his divine soul by Tang San's schemes, and even his last remaining relic was ruthlessly destroyed by Tang San.

Yet, Huo Yuhao unwaveringly became the obedient dog of Tang San's beloved daughter, delighting in triggering the restrictions Tang San had placed on her.

This behavior was like a donkey with a carrot tied in front of it, always seeing but never reaching it, yet the stupid donkey continued tirelessly.

Disloyal, unfilial, unrighteous, this kind of worldview was simply abhorrent!

A man should stand proud between heaven and earth, not live in subjugation! Now that he had transmigrated as Huo Yuhao, he would never let such a fate repeat!

However, it seemed he had transmigrated to a parallel version of the Douluo Continent, or perhaps the heavens were playing a small joke on him. Though he indeed became Huo Yuhao, with his father being Duke White Tiger Dai Hao and his mother being Duke White Tiger's maid Huo Yun'er, making him Duke White Tiger's illegitimate son, he lacked the White Tiger Dagger, the token of love Dai Hao gave Huo Yun'er!

Instead, Huo Yuhao wore a black ring on his right hand, which looked ancient and had indiscernible patterns on it. This wasn't something Dai Hao had given Huo Yun'er; it was something Huo Yun'er had acquired from an unknown source.

"This ring does suit my taste, but now is a life-and-death moment. Without a weapon, should I propose to the Wind Baboon with this ring?!"

Huo Yuhao felt on the verge of tears. Honestly, if it were his former self facing this Wind Baboon, killing it wouldn't have been difficult.

Even if the Wind Baboon had some fantastical abilities, like spewing some white substance from its mouth, he could easily dodge it with his trained reflexes.

But times had changed. Huo Yuhao was still young, his body not yet developed.

Moreover, he had suffered abuse since childhood, never having enough to eat or wear, leading to a weak and depleted body. This even caused his originally powerful innate martial soul to have only a first-level innate soul power.

Such a frail body, even as a top assassin in his past life, was something he couldn't just carry through!

It was like putting a quantum-grade CPU into a computer from the 1990s—it would never run smoothly!

I'm a warrior just out of the novice village, and the system has taken my newbie wooden sword, forcing me to wrestle a wild boar bare-handed. Is that something a person can do?

However, relying on his rich combat experience from his previous life, Huo Yuhao could make some anticipatory judgments, which helped him evade the Wind Baboon's attacks multiple times.

But this chase was extremely exhausting. Huo Yuhao felt like his lungs were about to burst into flames; his body had reached its limit.

"Hey, monkey, taste my hidden weapon!"

Huo Yuhao suddenly let out a strange cry, startling the Wind Baboon into a shiver.

Then, a dark object flew towards the Wind Baboon's face with a gust of wind.

The Wind Baboon had ample combat experience, but that was with soul beasts and wild animals. This was its first fight against a human.

Seeing Huo Yuhao throwing something at it, it didn't think to dodge. Instead, it instinctively used its innate ability to intercept it.

The Wind Baboon raised its upper body, pounding its chest with its fists. With a roar, it opened its mouth towards Huo Yuhao, spewing a ball of white light directly at the dark object.

What Huo Yuhao threw wasn't anything special; it was the black ring on his hand. He intended to use it to distract the Wind Baboon, giving himself a chance to escape and find a place to rest and recover.

But at the moment the black ring touched the white light ball, the white orb abruptly extinguished. No, it was more accurate to say it was absorbed by the black ring.

Following that, a barely perceptible wisp of white flame emerged from the black ring. If not for Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eye martial soul, he would never have noticed this tiny flame.

Yet this small flame caused everything within a twenty-meter radius—land, flowers, trees, and even insects—to be frozen solid, unable to move at all.

The ten-year soul beast, the Wind Baboon, was no exception, frozen into a white ice sculpture.

If Huo Yuhao hadn't already retreated beyond the twenty-meter range, he would have been instantly frozen as well.

"What a terrifying cold force. What is it?" Huo Yuhao thought curiously. "A black ring, white flame... could it be...?"

While Huo Yuhao was filled with confusion and a dawning realization, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind without warning.

"Finally, I've found a human with spiritual attributes. It's a pity I can't cry, or I'd be in tears right now!"

Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback, then a faint, barely noticeable smile appeared on his lips.

You're finally here, Brother Tianmeng!
