Rebirth in Douluo Dalu II

Douluo Continent, Heaven Dou City, The Ruins of the Tang Sect.

Ten thousand years ago, this exact location was home to the strongest sect on the Douluo Continent, founded by Tang San, the legendary dual God—Sea God and Asura God.

After his ascension, the ravages of war, especially with the newly collided Sun-Moon Continent 4000 years ago, led to the complete decline and fall of what was once the strongest sect.

Now, only a few people remained in the Tang Sect, trying to rebuild and regain its former glory.

In the quiet ruins of a still-standing, cracked small building lay a sleeping, handsome boy.

Opening my eyes, I found myself lying on the floor of an old building. As I looked around, wondering where I was, the System Initialization notification caught my attention.

[System Initialization - 100% Completed]

[Welcome, Host.]

Ryan: System, from now on, you will be named EVE, and call me Ryan.

[EVE: Yes, Ryan. Acknowledged.]

Ryan: So all my powers can be used through you, right, EVE?

[EVE: Yes, Ryan. Tell me what you need, and I will get it done.]

Ryan: Okay. First, assimilate the memories of this body for me.

[EVE: Done. Here you go.]

After assimilating all the memories and acknowledging my new identity, I opened my eyes. In this new world, my parents were both descendants of powerful lineages but lacked the talent to become well-known figures or strong cultivators.

Starting with my father, he was a descendant of Sword Douluo Chen Xin. He inherited his martial spirit, the Seven Kill Sword, but lacked talent, barely crossing level 30 and becoming a Soul Elder with one white and two yellow soul rings.

As for my mother, she was a descendant of the Clear Sky Clan. She inherited the Clear Sky Hammer, but with only level 2 innate soul power, she couldn't surpass level 25. I don't know why she was not with the clan—maybe due to her low talent, they allowed her to venture out on her own.

It seems they both met on such adventures, facing life and death together, which led to my birth. They both joined the Tang Sect alongside others with the desire to revitalize it.

Coming to the present situation, it seems that the few remaining members of the Tang Sect had gone on a soul ring-hunting mission a month ago. All the adults left, leaving behind only me, two other girls my age, and a sick woman to watch over us.

One of the girls was Tang Ya, from the main cast of Douluo Dalu II. The other girl and the sick woman were Jiang Nannan and her mother, whose illness was exploited by the Xuanwu Clan.

Last week, we received word from a dying member of the expedition—everyone had perished in the forest, overwhelmed by soul beasts. Both Tang Ya and my past self were heartbroken, having lost their parents at such a young age.

With the fall of the last Tang Sect members, many sought to take advantage, aiming to loot whatever was left, and some had even darker intentions. But last night, when they tried to attack us Jiang Nannan's mother sacrificed herself to protect us and at the last minute, we were saved by someone strong—a Titled Douluo.

From my memories, I recognized this person as Elder Xuan from Shrek Academy. It seemed he had been sent here on orders from the Sea God Pavilion's Master, Mu En, the Dragon God Douluo, to retrieve the last remnants of the Tang Sect.

As I was going through the events that had happened until today, I was pulled out of my thoughts by two sweet voices coming from beside me. Turning my head, I saw Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan looking at me with concern, their soft gazes filled with unspoken emotions. Only then did I recollect that, having grown up together and being the same age, my natural charm had already won me two childhood sweethearts.

Even more so, my past self had instinctively protected them last night before Elder Xuan's arrival. That act of courage had sealed their affections, just like how young Tang San had promised to protect Xiao Wu. I could see it in their cute, slightly worried expressions, their eyes reflecting admiration, reliance, and something deeper—love.

Tang Ya was the first to speak, her voice laced with concern. "Brother Tian, are you okay? You've been quiet for a while... Did you get hurt last night?"

Jiang Nannan nodded, her delicate fingers lightly tugging on my sleeve. "If something's wrong, you can tell us. We're here."

I smiled reassuringly, feeling a warmth spread in my chest. These two had already chosen me in their hearts, and whether I had done anything consciously or not, their feelings had already been set in motion.

"I'm fine, just thinking about everything that's happened. We lost the last of the adults... and the Tang Sect is on the brink. But we're not going to give up," I said firmly. "Elder Xuan came just in time, and now we have a chance. We're going to rebuild."

Tang Ya's grip on my hand tightened, her determination mirroring my own. "Then let's do it together! I won't let my family's legacy disappear."

Jiang Nannan, though quieter, still recovering from last night's scenes of watching her mother's sacrifice, leaned slightly against my shoulder, a rare gesture of reliance. "Me neither. I… I don't have anywhere else to go, and I trust you."

Seeing their resolve, I couldn't help but chuckle softly. I had people to protect, people who believed in me. That alone made all the struggles ahead worth it.

At that moment, the door creaked open, and Elder Xuan stepped inside, his imposing figure filling the dimly lit room. His sharp eyes swept over us before settling on me. "So, you're the boy that protected them, huh? Not bad."

I met his gaze steadily, neither intimidated nor overawed. "I did what anyone would do."

The old man smirked. "Not just anyone can stand their ground against a bunch of greedy scavengers looking to tear this place apart. But let's not waste time—pack up your things. You're all coming with me to Shrek Academy. There, you'll have the opportunity to grow strong enough to reclaim what was lost."

Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan both turned to me, their trust evident in their eyes, waiting for my decision. But there was nothing to consider—I had already made my choice.

"Alright," I said. "We'll go to Shrek. And one day, we'll bring back the Tang Sect's glory."

A new chapter of our lives had begun. By the way, I didn't mention my name in this world, right? My father named me Chen Tian and my mother named me Tang Xiao both wanting me to inherit their own family surname. To please them both I call myself Xiao Tian combining both names that they gave me and concealing my heritage from two powerful Ancestor clans until I can protect myself.
