1ST POV :
People say that our planet is covered by 70% of water,71% to be exact. Maybe enough ice has finally melted to increase it by 1% or those fools never did proper calculation to begin with. It doesn't matter as nobody fucking cares how much ,since its not drinkable water. People only care about the things they need, it is the same with me. I'm a normal person like everyone else, yeah, totally normal on the surface at least. Anyway we are getting side tracked here, the reason I called fools to those scientist or whatever their profession is because they caused me lot of confusion when I was a kid. The oceans only cover the surface of our planet so I always thought there was more water underground. Like a container with little holes sometimes water leak out making springs and such. I had practically forgot about it for years, never questioned about it to anyone didn't want to stand out. It wasn't until I had access to internet that I later remembered. Turns out 95% (approx) water of our planet the ocean, the remaining 5% didn't matter as I said, nobody fucking cares.
Why am I rambling about these stuff, well I am dead. At least I think I'm cause I am floating in a color of space I can't describe. It's not like a beautiful scenery with indescribable colors but a all black that is not black. You probably can't understand just like a blind person without eyeballs can't describe you his unseen color since he sees nothing. That is exactly what I'm seeing, nothing but unlike a blind person whose brain can't get the sensory information I can 'see' the emptiness. It would be good if I'm dead but if I'm in a coma it would be a disaster. I don't wanna wake up as a 50 year old man losing his youth or not wake up at all or wake up just to fill my hospital bill and continue that mundane life. I didn't have any family and kept my friends at arms length and forget about relationship that's a hell hole I never wanna enter.
Guess its time to go, A light is calling me, not literally 'calling' , a kind of attraction and my gut feeling or 'instinct' in some superpower shit is telling me to go toward the light. Hope its not some typical heaven or hell scenario.
3rd pov:
In the vast sea city, the coastal city of Heaven Dou Empire a small ceremony is taking place inside a hall with intricate designs. A group of children are gathered together in a line eagerly waiting for their turn. A child with shining silver hair with green tips suddenly loses his balance and falls down.
His eyes groggily opens and looks around in a little confusion and stops with an unfocused gaze for a few seconds. Amongst the children's laughter and snicker he gets up with new found focus and determination that shouldn't belong to a normal child. The ceremony continues as before as if nothing happened and finally the odd child's turn comes. He does the same as everyone else and slowly extends his right hand as the power unknown to him starts running inside his body.
A brilliant green glow appears in his hand and spreads throughout his body and his appearance starts to change. First his eyes change to slits, green scales appear on his skin, some of his hair change to spikes and finally a pair of sharp fangs appear between his lips. Yet it seems incomplete or there is still something left for the world to see. The awakener a middle age woman kindly asks about his martial soul and the not yet named child replies with "green sea serpent" and moves to the final phase on his part of the ceremony. As he places his hand on the crystal it slowly starts to glow from the center and the light continues to grow larger and finally stops around halfway through with slight flickering. The Awakener says level 5 smiling at the child as if expecting the child to be happy but the boy just nods unconcerned about it. She feels odd but nonetheless continues with other children's awakening.
1st pov:
It's certainly a shock to find out that you are reborn in a fantasy world you are slightly familiar with maybe not too much shock since I read too much webnovels and fanfic in my previous life. Unlike those I haven't got any golden finger or cheats or I have yet to find about it yet. Anyway lets move on with introduction of this worlds new protagonist at I would like to think I am 'him' since I got 'aura' and stuff with a new power called soul power.
My new name is Tian Di zun which means Honoured above heaven and earth, that is the name I decided to name myself in this life. I'm a orphan in this life too and children in this orphanage don't get a name unless someone leaves a named child here, they are named based on their martial souls or they can name themselves whatever they like except names of the royal family of the two empires. First of all my martial soul isn't green sea serpent to be exact and my soul power isn't 5 too.
The true name of my martial soul is Leviathan and obviously full innate soul power. Somehow the name came to my mind automatically during the awakening and I could control the soul power with precision.
That is also the reason I gave myself that name, it reminded me of a certain cool silver haired character. I also have silver hair like many edgy isekai protagonist and I wanted to be teacher but had to settle for being an average salaryman.
Another information that came to my mind is my martial soul is not fully awakened so its still a 'green sea serpent'. As I've guessed so far I am in douluo dalu 1, not sure about the exact timeline but looking through my previous robot body's memories I'm older than the main cast by a decade or so. Yes my body was in auto mode barely speaking unless called and did everything in routine like a machine even shit and piss. so no guilt of child possession. Any way here is the information about my martial soul.
image
Martial soul : Leviathan
Attributes : Poison and water/ice
Innate ability : partial transformation/possession , poison breadth , poison domination and immunity
Grade : semi-legendary grade (legendary grade eg; clear sky hammer , blue lightning tyrant dragon or emperor grade spirits)
Domain : Dormant (incomplete awakening at 5th spirit ring)
That's all I've managed to know about my martial soul. so, my future self needs the herbs from ice fire yin yang well and make a soul core before 9th ring and definitely at least two cores will be needed and lastly ring fusion and ring explosion technique of clear sky sect is a must if I want to beat high priest like qian douli or bo saixi cause it's next to impossible to beat those who have gone through god trials on the same level much with less soul power than them.
let's put those aside for future, now I need to decide what type of soul ring should I get.
