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.
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.
Scene change :
Now I am in front of a humanoid light shaped being that also looks like an eldritch horror monster somehow. I hear a voice in my head/mind/soul " Second life in douluo dalu 1 with boons that is around same level and similar as tang san, depending on your choices it can be better or worse".
'Trying to write those fanfics of douluo dalu finally came in handy'
"I am ready, If you can customize and fuse them will be great help" I replied.
" You can't Wish for Titled douluo parent but can be a relative of characters that were frequently showed." The voice spoke again.
" So I can't be Qian daoliu's son but I can be a nephew of someone like ning fengzhi and gain protection of 2 super douluo?". I asked
"precisely" I heard the booming voice again.
'lets start' and I think about wishes that align with advantages of tang san in second life.
1st POV:
1. I want a sharp eye that will help with soul power control, hide power level and lowers the soul power consumptions like chakra control and six eyes.
2. I want high talent in martial arts.
3. Memory retained of my previous life, that's an obvious choice.
4. Use of immortal and normal herbs and identifications.
5. A single martial soul that has potential to be god grade.
and a status page to see my progress and compare if there's still some space left.
'I state my wishes that can be of help to me and around the same level as tang san'.
"I will decide my background after the customization of my boons is that okay?" I ask to the Rob(let's call him that).
"Okay lets see.." he begins.
"1. Herbs identification and their uses will fuse with status page and obtain the information in similar format".
"2. Sharp eyes will be a trait of your martial soul that gives better vision and only works when activated".
"3. Next High talent in martial arts will work along with soul power manipulation".
"4. Memory retainment and a protection of your future knowledge but your mind will be still vulnerable to spiritual attacks, only your previous life memory will be protected from everyone including gods if you decide to take their trails".
"5. Finally your martial soul will be awakened incomplete and will have god level potential but you have to evolve it on your own".
"Now lets decide your background" the rob asks me again.
"I am satisfied with the wishes, As for my background I want to be an orphan in a safe environment until I leave the place on my own. My relative will be Dugu bo".
" I will adjust the Timeline, do you want to be born as a baby or posses an empty vessel before your martial soul awakening". The Rob said again.
" I want to start before my awakening" I replied.
"good luck" and I open my eyes as a 6 year old child.
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.
As other children finished their awakening, some happy with results some sad and reluctant to accept their fate. Our child of focus moved to the alter with six black stones on the ground in the form of a hexagon, to stand inside.
"Don't be afraid, close your eyes and feel carefully." said the awakener.
Specks of the golden light came fluttering up from the black stones, entering the body of the boy. The boy's body began to lightly tremble with furrowed brows.
Again he heard a voice " extend your right hand", He complied as he opened his eyes he was quite surprised.
Above his palm was resting a small green snake and he felt a familiar connection with. 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 next phase 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:
After the awakening ceremony concludes I go back to my room to check my memories.
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 level 5.
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 due to my cheat, which I haven't fully explored yet.
That is also the reason I gave myself that name, it reminded me of a certain cool silver haired character (Gojo Satoru). I also have silver hair like him and besides 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 at least because the vast sea city isn't that developed compared to the story.
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.
Now lets check my new ID 'status' I think in my mind.
Name : Tian Di Zun
Martial soul : Green Sea Serpent (Leviathan)
Attributes : Poison and water/ice
Innate ability : Sharp eyes, 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)
Talents: Martial arts, Soul power manipulation
Soul Rings : None
Soul Bones : None
" I need to get familiar with my martial soul and then explore this place"
Let's get started.
.
.
.
Female lead : ------.
Important character : Dugu bo
I will make him younger and try to show his potential, the original was known as the weakest titled douluo till the end just for the show of his poison during the last war.
Despite having a Emperor grade martial soul and without joining any forces or resources he became a titled douluo, that just shows how much potential he had if not for that defect in his martial soul. I will also try to show his rivalry with Yue Guan (Chrysanthemum douluo) if possible.
