Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

Just as Lin Yao was helping Tsunade from the parallel world gradually take control of Konoha and prepare to promote communication between the two worlds and raise the upper limit of his own world from a higher-dimensional perspective, the surrounding scenery suddenly began to distort violently.

That sense of distortion wasn't a visual blur or swaying, but a deeper experience, as if the space itself was being crumpled and folded. Lin Yao felt that everything before him—the window frame of the Hokage's office, the files spread out on the desk, the swaying shadows of the trees outside the window—was rippling like the reflection of a stone thrown into water, colors and outlines intertwining, dissolving, and finally turning into a chaotic stream of light.

When Lin Yao came to his senses, he was already standing under that familiar starry sky.

The Palace of Stars.

In the vast, boundless void, countless stars dotted the deep dome, emitting light that was sometimes bright and sometimes dim. These lights were not static, but pulsed slowly like breathing, as if each star carried the story of a world. The palace floor was paved with a translucent crystal, reflecting the starlight from the dome, making one feel as if walking on a galaxy.

In addition to the original thirty-odd Lin Yaos from worlds like Douluo Continent, Battle Through the Heavens, and Naruto—each seated on a star throne corresponding to their respective world, each with a different form, some clad in armor, some in robes, and some surrounded by elemental light—at this moment, another throne lit up in the palace.

The newly gleaming throne, located on the eastern side of the palace, was carved entirely from a warm, lustrous jade. The back of the chair was adorned with patterns of bamboo slips and scrolls, exuding an air of refined scholarly elegance. Light slowly gathered, and a figure gradually appeared on the throne.

He was a black-haired young man dressed like a scholar.

He was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with delicate features, bearing a seven or eight-tenths resemblance to the other Lin Yaos present, but his temperament was completely different. He wore a moon-white scholar's robe, a jade pendant at his waist, and his hair was secured in a bun with a wooden hairpin. He held a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand, as if he had just been studying late into the night when he was pulled here by an invisible force. His eyes held a hint of confusion and wariness as he quickly scanned the figures around him who resembled him but possessed vastly different temperaments, clearly still not understanding the situation.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

Before the newcomer could even ask a question, the others present exchanged knowing glances. Judging from her attire and demeanor, she was likely from an ancient world, and her understanding might still be at a rather traditional level, requiring some guidance. So, they nodded simultaneously, then raised their hands and placed them on the illusory starlight floating before their respective thrones.

That illusory figure is the hub connecting them to the Star Palace, and also the channel for sharing memories and abilities.

The newcomer gazed at the slowly rotating phantom of the stars before him, a strange impulse welling up within him. It was like a drowning person seeing a hand reaching out from the shore, instinctively wanting to grab it. He hesitated for a moment, then, following the example of the others, reached out and placed his hand on the phantom of the stars before him.

Om-! ! !

A gentle yet vast power instantly surged into his mind.

Then, the newlyweds' memories unfolded before everyone's eyes like a scroll.

It turns out that the newcomer has transmigrated into the world of "Joy of Life" and been reincarnated into a wealthy family in the capital of the Qing Kingdom. Although the Lin family is not considered the most prestigious clan in the capital, it is a well-to-do scholarly family with several ancestors who served as local officials. The family is wealthy and enjoys considerable prestige in the capital.

As the eldest son of the family, the newcomer was greatly favored by his elders. His father, Lin Ruofu, though not an official, was a renowned scholar in the capital and placed great emphasis on his son's education. His mother, Wang, was gentle and virtuous, and had high hopes for her eldest son. From the time the newcomer could remember, the family hired several tutors to meticulously teach him to read, write, and compose poetry, preparing him to take the imperial examinations, enter officialdom, and elevate the family's status.

Unfortunately, the newcomer's learning talent was rather average.

Even with meticulous tutoring from several private tutors since childhood and over ten years of schooling, he barely managed to obtain the title of Xiucai (a scholar who passed the lowest level of the imperial examinations). This was the result of his all-out effort and tireless study day and night. He was far from being a Jinshi (a scholar who passed the highest level of the imperial examinations) who could actually become an official. Although this achievement was respectable compared to other ordinary scholars, it was still far, far behind those exceptional students—especially those prodigies who passed the Jinshi examinations at the age of twenty and entered the imperial court as officials.

Several months ago, newcomer Lin Yao finally regained his memories of his past life during an afternoon nap. When he discovered that he had transmigrated into the world of "Joy of Life," he immediately had the idea of ​​abandoning his literary pursuits for martial arts.

It's important to understand that in the world of Joy of Life, there exist many powerful martial artists. While not quite as exaggerated as moving mountains and filling seas, the four most powerful Grandmasters among them are terrifying beings who could easily carve out their own territories if they so desired. Under these circumstances, Lin Yao naturally didn't want to place his life and death in the hands of others; he wanted to obtain the power to determine his own destiny. Especially regarding the path of literature, he felt that with his talent, no matter how hard he tried, he could only reach the level of a mere scholar; he needed to think of other ways to raise his potential.

So, under the pretext of needing to improve his health through martial arts so he could better study, the newcomer Lin Yao began learning martial arts from the head of the family's guards. The guard leader was a retired soldier, skilled in swordsmanship, and while not a top-tier expert, he was more than capable of teaching a beginner. Thus began Lin Yao's martial arts journey. Every morning he would practice horse stance and punches, in the afternoon he would study, and in the evening he would meditate and regulate his breathing—his days were fulfilling and busy.

After learning about the newcomer's memories, Lin Yao from the Douluo Continent and other worlds showed a hint of interest.

While *Joy of Life* appears to be a martial arts world, it's actually a sci-fi, post-apocalyptic ancient setting novel incorporating various elements. According to the original plot, *Joy of Life* isn't set in ancient times, but rather in a future world after a nuclear war. After the global nuclear war, human civilization regressed to a primitive state. Those who survived were mutated by nuclear radiation, gaining the ability to enhance their physical functions using it.

In other words, in the world of Joy of Life, the internal energy cultivated by those martial artists is actually nuclear radiation!

After sharing the newcomers' physical attributes, Lin Yao and his companions also gained the special ability to absorb nuclear radiation for cultivation. For Lin Yao, who had transmigrated to a world with extremely high potential, these abilities were at most a minor supplement. However, for worlds with lower potential, limited by world rules, and where the abundant energy within their bodies was difficult to fully convert into combat power, this was an unexpected surprise.

For example, Lin Yao from the worlds of *iPartment*, *Hong Kong Variety Shows*, *Apocalypse at School*, *Pacific Rim*, and *Boonie Bears*—due to the limitations of their respective worlds and the scarcity of their own spiritual energy, they rely more on the power of the sun to replenish their bodies. Although they become stronger each time they enter the Star Palace, their potential is also directly locked.

But now, with the ability to convert radiation into energy, they have much more room to maneuver. In the normal technological world, everything is lacking, but radiation is abundant. Even in space, there is plenty of radiation from the stars. This energy can serve as a significant substitute, and they have all begun to consider how to raise their limits.

To some extent, while Lin Yao and his ilk gained access to memories and the necessary prerequisites through the shared Star Palace, fulfilling those prerequisites remained somewhat difficult. Now, with multiple pathways available, there are more ways to rapidly enhance their strength. Perhaps before long, Lin Yao in every world will start as a colossal star beast, capable of destroying the heavens and earth with ease.

At the same time, Lin Yao in the Joy of Life world also quickly absorbed the memories of his other selves.

His lips curled up slightly involuntarily, revealing a smile reminiscent of the crooked-mouthed dragon king. Even though he understood that the Star Palace was limited by the rules of various worlds and could not completely exchange power, with many abilities being transformed into various potentials or qualities, Lin Yao from the Joy of Life world still felt that even with just the most basic improvement in physical and mental strength, he could sweep across the entire world.

Even Emperor Qing, the strongest of the four Grandmasters who had betrayed his wife Ye Qingmei, was extremely wary of the four Grandmasters who possessed sniper rifles. To be honest, the Grandmasters in the original work might not be as strong as the Jonin in the Naruto world in terms of combat power and various skills. They were typical high-attack, low-defense fighters—capable of unleashing sword energy that could slice through tall buildings, yet unable to withstand bullets from Barrett sniper rifles.

In this situation, facing the potential empowered by numerous colossal beasts—such as the terrifying bodies of Lin Yao from the Ultimate Terror Beast, Bradorin Yao, and WarGreymon Lin Yao, and the bloodline limit-enhancing mechanisms of Lin Yao from other worlds, like Lin Yao from the Naruto world—Lin Yao from the Joy of Life world is merely a baby. Only now, with his mental power elevated to an extremely high level, would he truly be a terrifying demolition machine. If Lin Yao from Joy of Life were to truly target Emperor Qing and deliver a punch, Emperor Qing would probably have to beg him not to die.

After everyone learned about each other's situations, especially since they were curious about Lin Yao's various outrageous actions in the Naruto world and heard that he had gone to a parallel world, they were all very envious of the feeling of fulfilling a childhood dream. After chatting briefly for a while, that familiar feeling of rejection reappeared, and they were teleported back to their respective worlds.

The world of Joy of Life.

The backyard of the Lin family mansion in the capital of Qing Kingdom.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Yao, who was lying on a rocking chair in the courtyard taking a nap with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. A glint of light flashed in his clear, black-and-white eyes, as brilliant and fleeting as a shooting star in the night sky. Deep within his pupils, it seemed as if stars were slowly rotating, traces left after absorbing the memories and power of his other worlds.

"Hahaha……"

Feeling the terrifying power within his body, Lin Yao subconsciously clenched his fist. His knuckles cracked crisply, and an invisible wave of energy emanated from him, spreading outwards and rustling the leaves of the flowers, plants, and trees in the courtyard. After confirming he wasn't dreaming, he couldn't help but smile. That smile contained excitement, relief, and a hint of anticipation for the infinite possibilities of the future.

The maids who were preparing tea and snacks for Lin Yao looked at each other in confusion when they heard the loud laughter coming from the courtyard. Then they quickly sped up their work.

Because Lin Yao was deeply favored by his elders, his family assigned him four personal maids—Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju. While not stunningly beautiful, these four maids were all charming young women in their own way. Mei was gentle and graceful, Lan was lively and clever, Zhu was quiet and reserved, and Ju was adorable and innocent. Under the care of these four maids, Lin Yao lived a life of luxury, with everything done for him.

According to Lin Yao's daily routine, he would have afternoon tea after his nap. That's why his four personal maids would prepare tea and snacks in advance while he was sleeping. Normally, they would have everything ready before Lin Yao woke up, but he woke up about an incense stick's time today, so they didn't have time to serve the tea and snacks immediately.

Soon, the four personal maids brought him fragrant tea and several kinds of fruits and snacks that Lin Yao usually liked to eat, and walked to the small pavilion where he was. Xiao Mei walked in front, carrying a tea tray, her steps light and steady; Xiao Lan followed behind her, holding a box of snacks, with a sweet smile on her face; Xiao Zhu and Xiao Ju followed carefully at the back, carrying a fruit plate.

Xiao Mei placed the tea tray on the stone table, then gracefully walked behind Lin Yao and skillfully began massaging his shoulders. Her movements were gentle yet precise, clearly the result of long-term practice. As she massaged, she asked with some curiosity, "Young Master, what sweet dream were you having just now? Why were you smiling so happily?"

Lin Yao's four personal maids were all born into the Lin family and were considered his childhood sweethearts. The eldest, Xiao Mei, was sixteen, while the youngest, Xiao Ju, was fourteen. If Lin Yao hadn't awakened his past life memories, he might have been tricked by his family—after all, marriages in ancient times were early, and it was necessary to know each other before marriage. However, after awakening his past life memories, Lin Yao only saw Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju as his younger sisters, and took great care of them, making them feel the warmth of an older brother.

As Xiaomei grew older, her gaze towards Lin Yao gradually changed. It became a complex look, a mixture of dependence, admiration, and girlish affection. However, out of respect for Lin Yao's genuine brotherly love for them, she didn't say much. In her heart, though, being able to stay by Lin Yao's side wasn't so bad. At the same time, she also hoped that if Lin Yao were to marry in the future, he would marry a good matriarch, someone who wouldn't drive her and her sisters out.

In this situation, Xiaomei's feelings for Lin Yao were complex—they contained both the closeness of family and her own sense of propriety. She was afraid that Lin Yao would dislike them and think they had lost their sense of propriety.

"Because everything is different now."

Facing the curious gazes of Xiaomei and the others, Lin Yao smiled and nodded, picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and then put it down, his eyes shining with an unprecedented brilliance: "This is the second happiest thing that has ever happened to me in my life. Sometimes when luck comes, you can't stop it."

"What can't be stopped when luck comes?"

As soon as Lin Yao finished speaking, a clear and melodious voice suddenly rang out. Immediately afterward, a beautiful young woman with exquisite features, dressed in a pale yellow dress, walked into the courtyard. Her steps were light and lively, the hem of her dress swaying gently with her movements, like a fluttering butterfly.

The beautiful, black-haired girl before me, whose features bear a resemblance to Lin Yao's, is named Nannan. She is Lin Yao's younger sister, sharing the same parents. At fourteen years old, she is at an innocent and carefree age, with a lively and cheerful personality, and she loves to cling to her older brother.

After entering Lin Yao's villa, Nannan didn't stand on ceremony with him. She went straight to his side, sat down, and started eating the pastries in front of him. She took a bite of the delicate osmanthus cake, her cheeks puffed out like a little squirrel stealing a bite.

As she ate the delicate and delicious pastries, Nannan blinked her big, watery eyes and asked indistinctly, "Brother, what did you dream about? I could hear your laughter from far away. You were laughing so happily, did you dream about something delicious?"

Looking at her gluttonous expression, Lin Yao's eyes flashed with a playful glint, and he grinned mischievously, saying, "I dreamt that I was the supreme ruler of the world!"

"puff!!!"

Hearing Lin Yao's words, Nannan, who had been listening intently, was so startled that she spat out the pastry in her mouth. Several crumbs scattered through the air, landing on the stone table and the ground. Ignoring the crumbs from her mouth, she quickly covered Lin Yao's mouth and whispered, "Brother! Are you crazy! How dare you say such outrageous things! If anyone hears us, our whole family will be beheaded!"

Her face instantly turned deathly pale, her eyes filled with terror and tension. It's no wonder Nannan was so nervous; after all, this was the capital, right under the emperor's nose. Who knew if Lin Yao's words would fall into the ears of the Censorate's spies? The Censorate's eyes and ears were everywhere in the capital; the slightest disturbance could reach Emperor Qing's ears. Such words about "being the supreme ruler," if overheard by someone with ulterior motives, could be used to accuse someone of treason, resulting in the execution of nine generations of their family!

Seeing his little girl's face turn pale with fright, Lin Yao, the heartless older brother, revealed a mischievous grin. He reached out and removed the hand that was covering his mouth, laughing, "Alright, alright, I was just kidding. Look at you, so timid, how will you ever get married?"

As the saying goes, when danger strikes, the older brother will be the younger sister's strongest support; when there is no danger, the older brother is the greatest danger. Lin Yao is the latter at this moment.

Nannan had no idea Lin Yao was joking. She thought he had just woken up and his mind wasn't fully clear yet, which was why he dared to say such a dangerous thing in public. She first glared at Lin Yao, who was still grinning foolishly, her big, watery eyes filled with reproach and lingering fear, and then said in a warning tone, "Xiaomei, I don't want anyone else to know what my brother was saying in his sleep."

Upon hearing this, Xiaomei immediately understood what Nannan meant. She bowed slightly, her face showing just the right amount of confusion, and asked, feigning ignorance, "What are you saying, Second Miss? Did the Eldest Young Master say anything just now? I didn't hear anything."

She turned to her three sisters and asked, "Xiao Lan, did you hear what the young master said?"

"No!" Xiaolan quickly shook her head, her expression utterly sincere.

"I didn't hear anything," Xiaozhu echoed, her voice soft yet firm.

"Miss must have misheard..." Xiaoju stuck out her tongue and winked playfully.

Leaving aside the fact that Xiaomei and the others are servants of the Lin family, having grown up with Lin Yao since childhood and sharing his joys and sorrows, even without these connections, if Lin Yao treated them sincerely and cared for them like younger sisters, they would genuinely consider things from his perspective and naturally wouldn't spread such rebellious words, thus harming Lin Yao. What Lin Yao just said could be a serious crime, ranging from minor to major offenses, but at worst, it could be considered treason, potentially leading to the execution of his entire family. In that case, they, as maids, would naturally not have a good ending either.

"Maybe I haven't been resting well these past few days, and I was just hallucinating?"

Seeing that Xiaomei and the others were so sensible, Nannan quickly pretended to be dizzy and rubbed her temples with her fingers, saying in a pretentious tone, "Never mind, I'll go back and take a nap to recharge!"

As soon as Nannan finished speaking, she grabbed the box of pastries from the table and left Lin Yao's villa as quickly as possible to avoid hearing him utter any more shocking words. Her retreating figure seemed to be fleeing in panic, her skirt drawing a hurried arc in the air.

Watching Nannan's departing figure, Lin Yao shook his head, a slight smile playing on his lips.

My dear girl, I rarely tell the truth, and you still don't believe me?

He picked up the teacup and took another small sip. The aroma of the tea slowly unfolded on his lips and teeth, carrying a hint of sweetness.

He raised his head, his gaze passing through the branches and leaves of the old locust tree in the courtyard, looking up at the sky.

Blue sky and white clouds, gentle breeze and bright sunshine.

From today onward, the world will be different.
