Chapter 2: The Shortest-Lived Transmigrator in History
[Selecting world…]
[Suitable world found. Preparing for transmigration…]
Long Aotian hurriedly asked, "Huh? Can you tell me which world it is?"
The system did not respond.
The moment those words fell, Long Aotian's consciousness sank into darkness.
This was done to protect his soul. Traveling through space-time was completely different from simply leaving Earth—any slight disturbance in space-time could instantly scatter his soul.
So, to better protect him, the system forced his soul into a dormant state.
As his soul fell asleep, the golden light surrounding him suddenly shone brilliantly, streaking across the endless black universe like a meteor.
…
A streak of golden light cut across the sky and descended toward the Sunset Forest.
Its target—
Was the deer-like soul beast that had just died in the forest outskirts.
In other words, if nothing went wrong, when Long Aotian awakened, he would become a hundred-year soul beast.
However—
At that very moment, something unexpected happened.
Dugu Bo, who had been cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes.
A sharp glint flashed through his emerald-green pupils.
As he opened his eyes, the soul power vortex above his head began spinning violently, causing the surrounding trees to rustle.
At the same time, the streak of golden light just happened—unfortunately—to pass near the vortex.
The immense suction force instantly dragged the golden light into the vortex, along with the gathered soul power pouring into Dugu Bo's body.
[Warning! Warning! Preset trajectory disrupted. Route deviation…]
[System interference detected…]
At this moment, Long Aotian's consciousness slowly awakened.
What he saw—
Was an old man with dark green hair and beard.
And below him, the breathtaking Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
"This is… could it be that world?"
That iconic landmark made him instantly realize—
He was in the Douluo world.
He had just been thinking about going there and scheming to obtain Dugu Bo's immortal herbs—
And now, the system had sent him directly in front of Dugu Bo.
What a twist of fate.
With a system and knowledge of the plot, he could easily rise to power—even if not becoming a god, he could dominate a region.
But before he could celebrate—
A terrifying pulling force suddenly seized him.
By the time he reacted, he found himself in a green world.
Not far away floated a blurry figure.
The moment he appeared, the figure rushed toward him.
"Who is it?!"
"Who dares attack my spiritual sea while I'm breaking through?!"
From afar, the green phantom struck with a palm.
At the same time, a massive green serpent appeared in this space.
Before Long Aotian could process it, the enormous snake opened its jaws and lunged at him.
"System! System! Save me—quickly save me!!!"
Terrified, Long Aotian screamed.
[This system is only responsible for transporting the host to a suitable world. It has no authority to interfere with other matters.]
That reply shattered his hope completely.
This system clearly operated under fixed instructions—
Protect the soul, leave Earth, find a suitable world.
Everything else? Not its responsibility.
The massive green serpent opened its jaws—
And swallowed Long Aotian whole.
It even chewed a few times.
A chilling sight.
Long Aotian — dead.
That figure was none other than Dugu Bo.
And this green world—
Was his spiritual sea.
As Long Aotian's soul was devoured, Dugu Bo's previously faint soul form became more solid.
Just as he was about to examine the change, fragments of broken memories suddenly surfaced in his mind.
Confused, Dugu Bo looked at these unfamiliar memory fragments.
Before he could investigate further—
A cold, emotionless voice sounded in his mind.
[Host detected as deceased. Initiating emergency protocol.]
[Searching for nearest viable target…]
"Who?!"
"Who's speaking?!"
"Show yourself!"
Dugu Bo's consciousness snapped awake, his expression dark and wary as he scanned his surroundings.
He didn't check his spiritual sea—
Because that was the most private place of all. Any disturbance there would be instantly noticeable.
Instead, he spread his soul power outward, trying to locate the source of the voice.
But—
He found nothing.
Not even a trace.
This made him uneasy.
Who could speak inside his mind and remain completely hidden—even from a Title Douluo at level 90?
Such a person would need at least level 95 strength.
Realizing this, Dugu Bo tensed up completely.
The mechanical voice sounded again:
[Target confirmed.]
[Identifying…]
Name: Dugu Bo
Identity: Native of Douluo Continent
Martial Soul: Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor
Soul Power: Level 90
Talent Evaluation: Excellent
Dugu Bo was both shocked and furious.
If he ever found the source, he swore he would make them taste the terror of his poison.
[Binding system…]
[10%… 30%… 50%… 99%… 100%]
[Binding successful]
A crystal-like panel appeared in his mind.
At the top were the words:
"Life Simulator System"
Below it displayed his name and identity.
Dugu Bo quickly realized that this was the source of the voice.
Curious, he reached out in his spiritual sea to touch it—
But his hand passed right through it.
No sensation at all.
"What exactly is this thing?"
[Would the host like to begin the first life simulation?]
Dugu Bo: "?"
A life simulator?
What kind of thing was that?
After thinking for a moment, Dugu Bo decided to ignore it for now.
Because—
He had something far more important to deal with first.
