Douluo Continent: The Twin Sons of the Styx River, Shaking the World and Destroying the Heavens

Chapter 2 The Land of the God of Death
After glancing at it, Xia Die gestured for the system to shut down and stood up.

"System, there's one more question. Do I belong to Xia Die or Huo Yutong?"

[You could say that. Your current situation falls under the category of "Xia Die" (遐蝶). Your situation is special, and we conduct regular investigations. As of now, there are no problems. Your priority now is to become stronger.]

"I understand, System. You made me a girl, so you have to give me some compensation. Or, since I've already arrived in Douluo Continent, I should at least get a newbie gift pack." Xia Die breathed a sigh of relief and then asked the system for her starting gift pack with a slight smile.

[Please, you are the Butterfly of Despair, the Authority of Death. Fine, I'll give it to you.]

[Ding! Do you want to open a new student gift pack?]

"Open."

[System Gift Pack has been activated, granting the following rewards: Spirit Eye Martial Soul evolved into Death Eye, Butterfly's exclusive weapon, all books in the Tang Jia San Shao series, Ring of Restraint, 100 million Gold Soul Coins, Polycia, and unlocked Memory Spirit]

【Death God's Scythe: A weapon formed from the power of the Star God of Memory, the Titan of Death, quantum attributes, and the power of laws】

[The Restraint: It allows one to control their death aura without others noticing.]

[One hundred million Gold Soul Coins have been added to your system space.]

Xia Die wields a purple scythe imbued with death and quantum energy, resembling the Grim Reaper.

???

But upon hearing about the reward, he was stunned, which meant that he had brought his younger sister along as well.

Just as he was thinking this, a girl who looked very similar to him appeared in front of him, sitting in a wheelchair.

The girl had short, purplish-white hair, her left eye covered by a blindfold resembling a dragon's claw. Her bright, purplish-pink eyes were paired with two distinctive upright ears, seemingly belonging to the elven race. Her chest appeared to be wrapped in white cloth, and she wore a black and purple outer skirt that exposed her back. Cloth strips were wrapped around her right hand and leg, and her feet were bare. She looked at Xia Die with gentle eyes.

"Long time no see, do you still remember me?"

"Or perhaps we've met before. Is it you, Polycia?"

Polycia nodded and said gently, "It's beautiful here, like the flower fields we tended before."

"Yes, it's been a long time. So, where is this place? Could you tell me about it, my sister?"

Xia Die smiled gently and said, "Of course, my dear sister."

…………

"So, this is a place called Douluo Continent?"

"Yes, it's not Onpharos, where we are, but we can't go back."

What Xia Die said was not a lie. With her current strength, it would be no easy task to go back. However, with someone by her side, she did not feel so lonely.

They are only a few years apart in age, but both are considered little girls.

The two chatted amiably, and night soon fell, the stars painting a beautiful star map across the sky. All around was utterly silent, save for the sounds of Polycia and Xiaodie's conversation.

The two lay in bed, and after a long time, Polycia fell asleep, sleeping soundly, as if she had entered a delicious dream.

Xia Die did not fall asleep. She remained sitting on the bed, looking up at the bright moonlight, stroking her younger sister's hair. Then, she slowly closed her eyes and began to meditate. Her consciousness gradually settled, and past memories surged into her mind like a tide.

But it is her painful past. She carries a curse, and to those who suffer, she grants death as a release. The flowers on her body are her way of telling the warriors of death.

I don't want anyone to die, but death is so close.

The place of memory is that of my childhood, a land I once revered for death, where the perpetual snow of Adriatic eventually melted away.

In this tranquil moment, she appeared extremely pained. In her first life, which was also the predecessor of her rebirth, she had a difficult childhood. Her parents did not love her, and she lived alone, ultimately filled with regrets.

In this life, I have become a caged bird in this sea of ​​flowers. I don't know what this sea of ​​flowers is called. The people who chased me before seemed to call it the Forbidden Flower Sea. The reason it is called the Forbidden Flower Sea is very simple: this sea of ​​flowers is very large and very terrifying, causing countless people to lose their lives.

The number of people who died in this sea of ​​flowers is countless, like piles of white bones. But strangely, all these remains have disappeared without a trace.

When Xia Die woke up from her meditation, it was almost dawn. According to the time in her previous life, it should have been around four or five o'clock.

"System, do you know what this sea of ​​flowers is called? I remember there wasn't this place in the original story."

[Host, this isn't the original Douluo Continent; it's a parallel universe's Douluo Continent. However, it's still similar to the original Douluo Continent, just with a few additional elements.]

This isn't the forbidden flower sea they claim; it should be called the Death Flower Sea.

Its danger level far exceeds what you perceive as the Valley of Love and Destiny.

“Even more terrifying than the Valley of Love and Destiny, the Sea of ​​Deathly Flowers, the Sea of ​​Death…” Xia Die suddenly realized something. This valley mentioned the word “death,” which meant that there was only one person related to death here—the Grim Reaper.

This is a place where deities pass on their legacy, specifically the place where the God of Death passed on his legacy. It seems that the reason you can't leave is because this place has chosen you.

"The site of the God of Death's legacy—I'm practically imprisoned now."

[Sort of, but not really. Within seven days, I can go out for two days, but I have to stay here for the remaining five.]

"So, it means that, like some office workers in my previous life, I work five days and rest two days," Xia Die said quietly, her lips twitching.

According to the system, this sea of ​​Death Flowers is the place where the God of Death passed on his legacy, and it is also a very dangerous place. It is connected to the passage to the underworld, which is why no one's corpse was left behind when the invaders attacked, because they all became nutrients for this sea of ​​flowers.

Within this sea of ​​flowers, there exists a ghostly aura, a power of death. This aura has no effect on Xia Die and Bolysia, who possess the authority over death. It is precisely here that Xia Die was chosen, making her, in a sense, a semi-master of this place.

Furthermore, this is a separate little world, which can be considered part of Douluo Continent or not. Moreover, even the God King would not dare to set foot here easily.

The laws here are denser, and the spiritual energy is many times more concentrated than outside. Tang San once tried to claim this place for himself, but when his divine sense arrived here, it was annihilated in less than three minutes. As a God-King, he experienced the power of death for the first time and gave up the idea. Now, the situation for the two sisters is that they can only go out for two days, but the younger sister can go out at any time.

If I'm not mistaken, this God of Death is probably a God-King, or even a Supreme God-King.

"So, am I the god of death?"

【Yes, that's right. However, you're too young now, and your peak combat power is less than one-tenth of what it used to be. We can't accept that for now.】

………………

Xia Die really wanted to curse. "Not even one in ten survived, and it's all because of this mess you made!"

"By the way, System, what is the relationship between my sister and my memory spirit?"

As far as I know, in the story of the Iron Plains, it seems that Xia Die's sister was stabbed, but it also seems that she wasn't stabbed, and she survived in a special way as the Death Dragon, Polykes.

I don't know what the situation is now.

[How can I explain this to you? Simply put, in the current situation, Polycia is your sister, and Polyces is your memory spirit. There's not much to explain.]

Upon hearing this, Xia Die realized that it was no different from saying nothing at all.

Forget about those things; my priority right now is to become stronger.

Xia Die also went to find some food. After all, there was still plenty of food in this sea of ​​flowers, and it was not affected by the Netherworld Qi.

…………

On the other side, an "adult" also began to make plans.

A soft halo of light, like a mother's hand, gently touches the delicate skin of the clouds, and the illusory space has an unusually moving sense of substance. Faintly, not far away, a towering palace seems to exist, both illusory and real under the touch of this soft halo.

The temple shone with unparalleled brilliance, as if illuminating the entire world.

This is the God Realm, also known as the Douluo God Realm, and it connects to many other planes. Of course, the flower sea of ​​the God of Death is not under the jurisdiction of the God Realm; for the gods of the God Realm, it is equivalent to a forbidden zone.

So, apart from Tang San himself experiencing the sea of ​​flowers, even though he wasn't in his true form, he still experienced the terror of that sea of ​​flowers.

But not long ago, a strange event occurred, and some memories flooded into his mind like a tide, and he now knew everything from the past.

"The spatial turbulence did not devour me. I was indeed destined to survive. I, Tang San, am truly a person with great fortune. How could I die so easily?"

Tang. Pure and immaculate. Buddha. Already has a way to die. Three. Looking at the still familiar divine realm.

He had actually been reborn, reborn as himself ten thousand years ago, when he was already a god-king.

Immersed in the joy of rebirth, King Tang paced back and forth, looking around the temple.
"If I can be reborn, are Xiao Wu and the others also reborn? And are my companions also reborn?"

With this thought in mind, King Tang then disappeared from the temple. "Little Wu, do you really not remember anything about the great calamity of the God Realm?" King Tang asked, looking at his beloved wife, the rogue rabbit, the Asura Sword Sheath.

Is he the only one who was reborn?

Xiao Wu, holding Tang Shenwang's arm, asked with some concern, "Third Brother, is it because of what happened in the God Realm that you had nightmares?"

He had a nightmare. He dreamt that he and his brothers came to a sea of ​​flowers, beautiful yet terrifying. A giant purple dragon spewed dragon fire that engulfed them, and they were slowly approaching their death. The dream felt so real.

That dragon was terrifying; even the first time I encountered the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, it wasn't as horrifying as that dragon.

"No, it seems I was overthinking it." Tang San stopped thinking about it and left the temple. It seemed he was the only one who had been reborn.
