Within a mimesis cultivation ground of the Spirit Hall, thick with the aura of light.
"Hu..."
A giant dragon, sized of a small mountain, lay flat on the ground. A heavy, yet not unpleasant, sound of breathing echoed from its massive frame.
Its golden, dazzling scales were arranged neatly across its body, each one seemingly reflecting ten thousand rays of light. Although the dragon was currently slumbering, the aura it exuded was not weak in the slightest. Any lesser Spirit Master or soul beast would likely be rendered unconscious by the sheer pressure of its Dragon Might upon approaching.
Amidst this overwhelming pressure, a tall and straight figure sat quietly in meditation on the ground.
His long golden hair was simply tied behind his head. With sword-like eyebrows and eyes as bright as stars, his straight nose and resolute features formed a heroic face that one could lose themselves in at a single glance.
Compared to the giant dragon, this figure appeared exceptionally small—not even as large as one of the dragon's claws—yet the pressure radiating from him shared the same source and origin as the dragon's. The two seemed to exist as one entity.
Suddenly, the meditating man flung his arms wide. The spirit power within his body surged like a violent gale, vacuuming all the surrounding light into his form.
In an instant, the surroundings seemed to plunge into a darkness.The moment this disturbance happen, several figures arrived at the edge of the cultivation ground. They stared at the scene within, their hearts is full of shock.
"Big brother, he... he is about to achieve Godhood!"
The Second Priest of the Priest Palace, Golden Crocodile Douluo, could not help but turn to the First Priest, Qian Daoliu.
As the only two Rank 99 Peerless Douluos present—aside from the one causing the phenomenon—they could only seek answers from one another.
"I... I do not know."
Meeting everyone's gaze, Qian Daoliu shook his head. He was at Rank 99, although there was only a one-rank difference from the Rank 100 Godhood, that single rank concealed far too many secrets beyond his knowledge.
"Xiaogang..."
In the crowd, Bibi Dong, dressed in a magnificent long gown, look at the cultivation ground with expectant eyes. Had the situation been any less critical, she likely would have rushed in long ago.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the darkness within the mimesis cultivation ground eventually dissipated, and light once again illuminated the area.
At the same time, Yu Xiaogang, who had been meditating, opened his eyes and slowly stood up. Feeling the power within his body, he clenched his fist, a look of satisfaction show in his face.
"Not bad. Another step forward. It won't be long before I can engrave the Light across my entire body. When that time comes, I shall be a match even for a First-Class God!"
Yu Xiaogang's heart was filled with confidence. The Godly Successions look down on me? Then I shall use my own power to surpass the Gods!
"Xiaogang!"
Just as he was contemplating his path to Godhood, an excited voice called out. Hearing it, Yu Xiaogang's expression softened. He opened his arms and allowed the woman to throw herself into his embrace.
Feeling the warmth of the woman in his arms, Yu Xiaogang sighed with emotion. His life in this world could finally be considered fulfilled.
"Ahem. If you two want to be intimate, wait until later. For now, why don't you explain to us old mans exactly what just happened?"
Qian Daoliu, watching the two doting on each other, couldn't help but cough twice to interrupt them.
"Grand Priest, it is as I mentioned before regarding the method of achieving Godhood. I had a breakthrough today," Yu Xiaogang explained calmly.
"You still haven't given up? Can such a method truly lead to Godhood?" Qian Daoliu looked at Yu Xiaogang in surprise.
"The Gods of the Douluo Continent are ultimately just powerful humans. As long as one finds a way to elevate their strength, achieving Godhood is not difficult. The true difficulty lies in the process of forging that path."
Yu Xiaogang sighed. Looking back on his life, it seemed he was always walking the most difficult paths.
Just as the group was about to continue their discussion, suddenly—
Buzz!
A hum that seemed to resonate from within their souls echoed in the ears of every living being across the Douluo Continent.
Immediately following, a pitch-black heavenly screen appeared in the sky. No matter where one was located, as long as they looked up, they could see this screen.
"What on earth is that?" Golden Crocodile Douluo narrowed his eyes, staring at the screen in the sky.
"Could it be the spirit skill of some powerful expert?" the Third Priest, Azure Luan Douluo, speculated.
"Unclear. Let us watch and see," Qian Daoliu said calmly. Given the current state of the Spirit Hall, they feared no danger unless a God descended.
Soon, the pitch-black screen began to change. Words appeared that even those who were illiterate could understand.
[The Heavenly Screen manifest. Presence of parallel worlds detected. Commencing Dual-Douluo Comparison.]
[Specific information has been transmitted to the minds of the audience. The selection of comparison subjects will begin shortly.]
After the text appeared, information regarding parallel worlds flooded everyone's minds.
"Hiss... another identical Douluo Continent? Only, perhaps because of a single choice made by a certain person, the world underwent a massive transformation?"
The Fourth Priest, Mighty Lion Douluo, sucked in a breath of cold air. The amount of information the screen had transmitted was simply shocking. It was hard for them to believe that another version of themselves existed in another world.
"Big brother, do you think in this parallel world, there might be a version where I am the Grand Priest?" Golden Crocodile Douluo thought for a moment before asking Qian Daoliu.
"Heh, what? You want to see a scene where I have to call you 'Big Brother'?" Qian Daoliu asked with a smirk.
"Hahaha! Just tell me, if such a world exists, wouldn't it be interesting?" Golden Crocodile Douluo replied with a chuckle.
On the other side, Bibi Dong looked at Yu Xiaogang with curiosity.
"Xiaogang, do you think in that parallel world, we are still together?"
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang reached out and rubbed Bibi Dong's head, saying amusedly, "Even if we aren't, what does it matter to us? We are together!"
Hearing his words, Bibi Dong hugged Yu Xiaogang happily, and he returned the embrace.
However, while holding her, he couldn't help but think of the original Douluo Dalu story he had learned through various video clips before his reincarnation.
As a transmigrator, Yu Xiaogang had not read the entire novel or watched the full anime; his understanding of the story was at a very basic stage. Nevertheless, he knew some key details.
For instance, the protagonist Tang San, the protagonist's Shrek team, and the antagonist organization, Spirit Hall.
And also... Tang San's "trash" teacher, Yu Xiaogang.
When he first transmigrated and realized he had become Yu Xiaogang, he had been extremely panicked. Fortunately, he had read widely in his previous life. Combining his past-life imagination with his study of the Douluo power system, he had successfully changed his fate against the heavens.
Looking back now, his life after transmigrating to the Douluo Continent had been quite spectacular.
"I just wonder who will be compared. If it's me versus the original Yu Xiaogang..."
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang shook his head and chuckled. If the two of them were truly compared, it would likely shock everyone to their core.
And as if on cue, the moment the thought crossed his mind, the Heavenly Screen selected the candidates for comparison.
