Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

When Lin Yao pushed open Ling Luochen's door, she was sitting by the window reading a book.

Hearing the door open, she looked up and saw Lin Yao; a joyful smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Ah Yao, you've arrived."

Lin Yao walked over to her, sat down, and gently stroked her long hair: "Hmm. Come see my frozen little kitten."

Ling Luochen's cheeks flushed slightly, but she didn't pull away; instead, she leaned on his shoulder. After a moment of tenderness, Lin Yao said, "Let me help you improve your martial spirit."

He stretched out his hand, and in his palm, a ball of starlight slowly condensed. The light was a deep blue, as if it contained the power of the starry sky. He gently sent that light into Ling Luochen's body.

Ling Luochen's body trembled slightly as a warm and powerful force surged into her limbs and bones. Nourished by that force, her ice element martial soul began to transform. Originally just ordinary ice element, under the catalysis of that force, it gradually evolved towards the ultimate form of ice.

This process lasted about half an hour. When Lin Yao withdrew his hand, Ling Luochen's martial soul had completed its transformation. Her ice element martial soul had completely evolved into ultimate ice. Although it was still one step away from a truly perfect transformation, it was not far off.

Feeling Lin Yao's devotion, the increasing ice attribute within her, and the tenderness and warmth within it, Ling Luochen was overjoyed. She hugged Lin Yao tightly, her voice choked with emotion, "Ayao... thank you."

Lin Yao gently stroked her hair and smiled, "Why are you being so polite with me?"

Ling Luochen raised her head, looking at him with eyes full of tenderness: "I feel... I'm the person you pamper the most."

Lin Yao didn't deny it, but just smiled and hugged her even tighter. The two spent the whole night together, enjoying this rare peace and warmth.

The following morning, Ling Luochen reaped enormous rewards. Her attributes had completely transformed into Ultimate Ice, her origin had also undergone a slight transformation, and her soul power had even risen to the mid-level Soul Saint level. Feeling the surging power within her body, she was filled with joy.

She could sense that with her current strength, she could easily defeat other ordinary Soul Douluos, and even weaker Title Douluos were not impossible for her to fight. The speed at which her strength improved was somewhat unbelievable to her.

She couldn't contain her excitement and hugged Lin Yao, who was standing guard beside her, her voice filled with undisguised joy: "Yao! I did it! I really did it!"

Looking at her excited expression, Lin Yao smiled indulgently and gently stroked her soft hair: "Yes, I knew you would succeed."

He glanced at the sky outside the window; the morning light was faint, and the sky was gradually brightening. He stretched and said, "Let's go soak in a hot spring and relax."

Ling Luochen nodded, a happy smile on her face, and followed behind him towards the hot spring.

Meanwhile, in the distant Heavenly Soul Empire, undercurrents were surging.

Elder Song led a delegation to Tiandou City to implement Shrek Academy's new regulations: delegating the power to monitor and handle low- and mid-level villains from the three kingdoms to each kingdom, with Shrek Academy having full oversight and verification authority. This would reduce their burden and expand their control. This new regulation is a crucial component of Lin Yao's reform plan. By delegating oversight, Shrek Academy can focus more on cultivating high-level combatants and strategic planning, while maintaining its deterrent power over other kingdoms through control of verification authority.

Emperor Brady of the Heavenly Soul Empire sat in his study, his brow furrowed as he looked at the draft agreement handed to him by Elder Song. He hesitated, unwilling to offend Shrek Academy on one hand, yet reluctant to relinquish power on the other.

Just as he was caught in a dilemma, an old and weak voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty... please agree."

Brady looked up and saw a hunched figure slowly walk in. The man wore a gray robe, his face was withered, and his breath was weak, as if a gust of wind could blow him away. But in his eyes, there was a kind of insightful light.

The master of the noumenon sect cannot be killed by poison.

He was seriously injured in his battle with Lin Yao and has not yet fully recovered. But he still dragged his weakened body to Tian Dou City.

Brady looked at him, somewhat surprised: "The Undying Poison Sect Master... what brings you here?"

Poison Immortal slowly walked to the center of the imperial study, stopped, raised his head, looked at Brady, and said in a hoarse and low voice, "Your Majesty, agree to Shrek's request. Don't hesitate."

Brady frowned: "But..."

"No buts." Poisonous Undying interrupted him, his voice carrying an undeniable firmness. "The current Sea God Pavilion Master is more terrifying than ten Mu Ens. Now that he has successfully grown up, if you don't want to bring about the destruction of your country or sect, you should cooperate. Unless it's an unbearable possessiveness or persecution, everything else is negotiable."

He paused, then emphasized, "Do you understand, Your Majesty?"

Brady fell silent.

Looking into Du Busi's cloudy yet resolute eyes, a complex mix of emotions welled up within him. He was deeply wary of Shrek Academy, but even more so of the Body Sect, a force situated within the Empire. He had only allied with the Body Sect to maintain a balance of power, but now it seemed the Body Sect was about to be subdued by Shrek Academy's young Pavilion Master.

Why would such a monster, possessing the combat power of a Limit Douluo at such a young age, appear? And why would he grow up so smoothly, appearing at Shrek Academy, a place considered extremely troublesome and despised by all factions within the empire? Completely beyond the control of the royal family and other major powers.

He sighed, then finally nodded: "Alright... I agree."

Seeing that he had agreed, Du Busi breathed a slight sigh of relief, then turned and slowly walked away. His figure appeared somewhat lonely in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Old Song nodded in satisfaction, then glanced curiously at Poison Undying's departing figure before turning and leaving. He thought to himself: "I never imagined that Poison Undying, whom even Elder Mu couldn't suppress, could be so easily subdued by Lin Yao. Truly worthy of being Elder Mu's chosen successor, the most terrifying genius in history. Thankfully, he's from Shrek Academy."

Elder Song fully supports Lin Yao's current status at Shrek Academy and his actions in all aspects. Although some of Lin Yao's actions are rather ruthless—for example, when purging the academy's upper echelons, he mercilessly uprooted those old forces—it's about cutting things off quickly and decisively to avoid entanglements. There's no need for indecisiveness and procrastination, like with Yan Shaozhe back then.

It could be said that Shrek Academy's various chronic problems, accumulated over millennia, were something even Elder Mu himself didn't want to address, as they involved too many personal relationships. As for Elder Xuan, who succeeded Elder Mu before Lin Yao's birth—and Elder Song wasn't being dismissive, he genuinely thought Elder Xuan was completely brainless. He was only lucky to possess a top-tier martial soul, coupled with numerous unexpected events after his birth, which allowed him to gradually reach the level of a ninety-eighth-level Title Douluo. However, Elder Song didn't have high hopes for Shrek Academy under Elder Xuan's leadership. Since Elder Mu handed over the reins of Shrek Academy to Elder Xuan, the academy, which Elder Mu had initially managed to stem its decline, slowly began to fall again.

Although Elder Song was a Grand Elder of the Sea God Pavilion and possessed the strength of a level 97 Title Douluo, his gaze still lingered on the lower levels. He could see the undercurrents beneath Shrek Academy's seemingly prosperous and thriving surface. He simply lacked the power to change things before, but now that a capable Lin Yao had appeared, he naturally offered his full support.

After Elder Song left, Brady held back for a while, but still couldn't help but ask the question that had been on his mind: "Sect Master Poison Undying... why did you agree to Shrek Academy's demands? We could have fought for them."

Poison Immortal glanced at the emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire before him, shook his head, and said softly, "Your Majesty, do you think I wanted to agree? I didn't want to either. But, circumstances are beyond my control."

He paused, his voice growing even deeper: "The current Sea God Pavilion Master is more terrifying than ten Mu Ens. Now that he has successfully matured, if you don't want to bring about the destruction of your country or sect, you should cooperate. Unless it's an unbearable possessiveness or persecution, everything else is negotiable."

He raised his head and looked at Brady, his gaze filled with an unprecedented seriousness: "Do you understand, Your Majesty?"

"Is it that terrifying..." Brady murmured. Before, he didn't have a deep understanding of Lin Yao's strength and influence. Now, hearing Du Busi, who possessed the strength of a level 98 Title Douluo and was only one step away from becoming a Limit Douluo, speak so confidently, a real shock finally welled up in his heart.

In the subsequent talks where the three parties continued to confirm their positions, Elder Song became even more conservative. He granted the royal family and the Body Sect more dignified treatment. Originally, Elder Song's request was simply to get the royal family and the Body Sect, these major powers of the Heavenly Soul Empire, to back down as much as possible. However, he didn't expect these two forces to be so clear-headed, retreating to the point where they had nowhere left to retreat.

Recalling Lin Yao's previous arrangements, Elder Song made some minor adjustments. He understood that his sect leader's primary focus now was the integration and transformation of Shrek Academy, unleashing every potential of this behemoth, rather than external fame and fortune. Elder Song executed Lin Yao's orders admirably, which was why Lin Yao had sent him—not one of those like Xuanzi. While Elder Xuanzi was powerful, he lacked attention to detail and was prone to making mistakes.

The three parties reached a satisfactory conclusion. Although Brady was unwilling, he had no choice but to accept the outcome. At the same time, he made some changes to his original plan of a marriage alliance with the Body Sect. He felt that he should devote more energy to Shrek Academy. Therefore, he sent Princess Vina, the most talented member of the royal family, to Shrek Academy under the guise of studying, to deepen the relationship with Shrek and leave a way out for the royal family.

On the other side, Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Star Luo Empire, accompanied by a luxurious delegation led by two super Douluo, Shattered Star Douluo and Immortal Doctor Douluo, visited Shrek Academy.

The Star Luo Empire borders the Sun Moon Empire, facing immense pressure from the war. The Sun Moon Empire's soul-guided weapon army is growing increasingly powerful, and the Star Luo Empire's border defenses are frequently under threat. Xu Jiujiu's purpose in sending this envoy to Shrek Academy is clear—to cultivate a good relationship with Lin Yao, forge an alliance with Shrek Academy, and secure wartime aid.

Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er received Xu Jiujiu and her group. After several rounds of diplomatic maneuvering, both sides tested each other's limits. However, Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er never gave Xu Jiujiu any concrete promises—they knew that only Lin Yao could make the final decision on such matters.

Xu Jiujiu knew that the young Lin Yao was probably easier to communicate with than those old foxes. So she insisted on seeing Lin Yao.

At the time of the meeting, Lin Yao sat upright in the reception hall of the Sea God Pavilion, exuding an overwhelming aura. Although he did not deliberately release his power, the vast aura belonging to a Limit Douluo still made the air in the entire reception hall seem to freeze. Standing in front of him for a long time, feeling that invisible pressure, a trace of awe arose in his heart.

The words she had prepared, under Lin Yao's calm and profound gaze, somehow became impossible to utter. She finally understood that this young man was no longer someone she could sway with words.

Lin Yao didn't beat around the bush and directly and forcefully informed the Star Luo Empire: "Sign the monitoring agreement, and you will receive Shrek's assistance in wartime. Otherwise, there's no point in discussing anything further."

He directly handed the choice to the other party.

She remained silent for a long time. She knew all too well the perilous situation her nation was in; without Shrek Academy's aid, the Star Luo Empire might very well fall to the Sun Moon Empire's offensive. But signing the monitoring agreement meant the Star Luo Empire would lose a portion of its sovereignty, something she found hard to accept.

Feeling utterly helpless, she finally had no choice but to say that she would return home and weigh the pros and cons.

Lin Yao's assertiveness stemmed from his own plan. He intended to thoroughly purge all forces truly connected to the Evil Soul Master Holy Spirit Cult within the next year, as well as those lords who sought to exploit the guise of Evil Soul Masters for acts intolerable to the world. Only then could he truly unify the power of Douluo Continent. He planned to resolve the Evil Soul Master problem—a problem that even Douluo III couldn't solve—within a year.

At the same time, Elder Lin, representing Shrek Academy, completed negotiations with the Douling Empire.

Because of its remote geographical location, the Douling Empire was minimally threatened by the Sun Moon Empire. Feeling invincible, they adopted a perfunctory attitude during negotiations, agreeing to only half of the terms of the agreement and secretly harboring the intention to break it off later.

Knowing that war had not yet broken out, it was not the time to turn against him, so he had no choice but to compromise. Afterwards, he chatted with his old friend Tianyang Douluo, revealing his dissatisfaction and helplessness towards the Douling Empire.

With this, the negotiations between the three kingdoms of Douluo came to a conclusion.

Lin Yao gathered intelligence from all sides, seeing through the Heavenly Soul Empire's emperor's intentions, the Body Sect's pragmatism, the Star Luo Empire's survival instinct, and the Douling Empire's perfunctory attitude. He was neither angry nor anxious, but steadily advanced his expansionist strategy.

Anyway, everything will be resolved within a year. Those who understand the times will survive. Those who don't will be swept into the trash heap.
