Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

The Palace of Stars.

Inside the main hall, starlight swirled, like countless dazzling gems glittering on the dome.

Lin Yao from the world of Douluo Continent and Lin Yao from the world of Peerless Tang Sect were bored and chatted about their respective worlds.

"You have no idea," Lin Yao from the Douluo world took a sip of tea and wiped his mouth, "the situation on my end is so complicated. Tang San is watching from above, the Silver Dragon King is hiding below, and there's a whole bunch of monsters and demons in between. Every day when I open my eyes, I'm faced with endless tasks, and when I close them, I'm surrounded by all sorts of scheming. If it weren't for the Star Palace supporting me, I would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago."

Lin Yao from the world of Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect smiled, picked up his teacup, and gently swirled it: "Yours is still relatively mild. Mine is even more outrageous—do you know why the Dragon God fell? It wasn't because he lacked strength, but because his wife died. He became completely withdrawn and then destroyed the entire Dragon God Territory. What kind of mess is that? The mighty Dragon God, a being standing at the pinnacle of the world, actually ruined himself because of love."

"Love is indeed a dangerous thing." Lin Yao from the Douluo Continent world nodded with deep feeling. "The story setting in my world is, to put it bluntly, a tragic love story. Tang San and Xiao Wu's love, Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong's love, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's love—each one looks beautiful, but behind it lies scheming and sacrifice. Especially the Dragon God's story, it's just unbelievable. After his wife's death, he became completely withdrawn and even destroyed the entire Dragon God territory. It can only be said that, as expected of the story setting in the world of the Great Gods, love is paramount, and logic is secondary."

"Exactly." Lin Yao from the world of Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect put down his teacup, placed his hands on the table, and leaned forward. "What are those authors thinking? They have to turn a perfectly good fantasy world into a romance novel. The Dragon God, such a powerful being, destroys the world just because his wife died? That's so love-struck!"

"Calm down, calm down." Lin Yao from the Douluo world waved his hand. "Every world has its own rules. As transmigrators, we can only adapt to the rules and do things within the scope permitted by the rules. Like me, I'm slowly laying the groundwork, waiting to unify the continent, become a god, and break free from the framework of this world."

"Easy for you to say." Lin Yao from the world of Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect curled his lip. "Your Tang San is no pushover. He's watching you from the God Realm, and he might trip you up at any time."

"What's there to be afraid of?" Lin Yao from the Douluo world raised an eyebrow. "If he dares to come, I dare to fight. Although I'm not a god now, with the power of the Star Palace, I'm not necessarily afraid of him."

As they talked, they unknowingly started arguing, spittle flying everywhere. One claimed his world's spirit ring system was more complete, the other claimed his world's spirit tool technology was more advanced; one claimed he had already subdued the Body Sect, the other claimed he had already taken control of Shrek City. Neither would concede, and the argument grew louder and louder.

Just then, a sudden voice interrupted the two.

"Excuse me, where is this?"

The voice carried a hint of doubt, a hint of wariness, and a hint of curiosity. The two Lin Yaos immediately stopped arguing and turned around at the same time.

Not far away, a figure had appeared on a star throne. It was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties, dressed in a special forces uniform with a white cloak over it, which seemed somewhat out of place. He sat on the newly opened star throne, looking at the two Lin Yaos with some surprise, his gaze sweeping over their fantasy-style clothing, a strange sense of familiarity in his eyes.

Upon confirming it was an unfamiliar voice, the two immediately turned around, exchanged a glance, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes. Their wait tonight hadn't been in vain; another newcomer had arrived.

Ever since the Qilin boss from the Classic of Mountains and Seas world mentioned visiting the Star Palace a long time ago, only to find it deserted, the two Lin Yaos decided to send someone to guard it every night. Although the flow of time differs across worlds, making a duty roster largely meaningless and vacancies inevitable—sometimes you might stand guard all night without a single soul appearing; sometimes a new person arrives as soon as you leave—but something is better than nothing; even a blind cat can catch a dead mouse. Today, it just so happens that it's the turn of Lin Yao from the Peerless Tang Sect world and Lin Yao from the Douluo Continent world, both with similar worldviews, to be on duty.

"New here!" Lin Yao from the world of Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect stood up, a warm smile on his face.

"Great, tonight's wait was worthwhile." Lin Yao from the Douluo world also stood up, clapped his hands, and said, "Let's quickly merge the memories and see which world's brother it is."

As the newcomer Lin Yao was filled with doubt, Lin Yao from the world of Douluo Continent and Lin Yao from the world of Peerless Tang Sect immediately illuminated the star-like phantoms before their respective thrones. The two clusters of starlight slowly rose before them, shimmering with a soft light, as if calling out to the newcomer.

Then, the two gestured to the newcomer Lin Yao and pointed to the starry phantom in front of him.

Lin Yao, the newcomer, hesitated for a moment, glancing at the two men who looked exactly like him—only dressed differently—and then at the shimmering starlight before him. He sensed no danger, but rather a warm, inviting feeling. So, he took a deep breath, extended his finger, and gently touched the shimmering starlight phantom in front of him.

In an instant, a series of bizarre and fantastical memories flooded his mind.

He saw the origin of the Star Palace, he saw countless versions of himself in parallel worlds, and he saw the different life paths he had walked. He saw Lin Yao in the world of Peerless Tang Sect struggling in Shrek Academy, he saw Lin Yao in the world of Douluo Continent strategizing in the Sea God Pavilion, and he saw Lin Yaos from other worlds writing different legends in their respective timelines.

The memory fusion process lasted for about ten seconds. When the last bit of memory merged into his consciousness, the newcomer Lin Yao's expression changed dramatically—first shock, then realization, and finally ecstasy.

The thought crossed his mind: In this world of losers, I really have a cheat code! This is it! I can finally enjoy the pleasure of wielding power over the world and having beautiful women by my side, instead of worrying about how to survive every day.

After living in fear for over twenty years, his cheat ability finally kicked in. The experience was truly unforgettable. Countless times, in the quiet of the night, he had doubted himself—was there something wrong with his identity as a transmigrator? Did the cheat ability not even exist? Was he destined to die an unknown death in this cruel world? But now, all his doubts had vanished.

Newcomer Lin Yao stated unequivocally, "Awesome!"

If I had come earlier, I wouldn't have gone through so much hardship, and my character wouldn't have been refined; if I had come later, I would have been too old, my special skills wouldn't have been of much use, and my prime years would have passed. It's just that the timing was perfect, exactly right. Not too early, not too late, arriving when I needed it most.

Lin Yao, the newcomer, was overjoyed. He stood up, straightened his white cloak, and said in a serious tone, "Ahem, my cheat code has arrived! I've finally made it! Back in my world, I'm going to punch mechs and kick apostles!"

His voice carried the spiritedness of a young man, revealing the unbridled passion that had been suppressed for twenty years.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yao from the world of Douluo Continent and Lin Yao from the world of Peerless Tang Sect exchanged a knowing glance and then simultaneously gave a thumbs-up in affirmation.

"Well said!" Lin Yao from the world of Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect laughed. "It's best if the cheat system arrives at the most opportune moment. Any later and it'll be too late; once you reach middle age, it'll be too late."

"That's right." Lin Yao from the Douluo world nodded as well. "Your timing is perfect. You have enough life experience, and you also have plenty of time and energy to strive for success."

This newcomer, Lin Yao, transmigrated twenty years ago and was a renowned genius from a young age. He skipped grades in elementary and middle school, completing courses in four years that others took six. Even in high school and university, he was a top student, ranking at the top of his class in every subject. He studied engineering, specifically the world's most sought-after mecha technology. Unfortunately, the skill levels in this field were vastly different—the strong could develop terrifying mechas capable of fighting against the Angels; the weak couldn't even be hired to tighten a screw.

But there was no other way. Having transmigrated to the world of Neon Genesis Evangelion, what choice did he have but to choose humanities? Was he supposed to study literature, history, and philosophy, only to find himself defenseless when the Angels arrived? Even the most humble transmigrator, capable of reincarnation, was still somewhat arrogant. This newcomer, Lin Yao, was no exception—he believed he was different and that he was destined for greatness.

However, after waiting for twenty years, the cheat system still hadn't materialized. As a transmigrator, Lin Yao was well-read and knew that if the cheat system hadn't appeared by age eighteen, it was basically a lost cause. He channeled his grief into strength, determined to become someone who relied solely on himself—even without a cheat system, he would still be a person of integrity and uprightness.

But one day, after the Second Impact, which nearly destroyed the world, occurred, he calmed down.

In the EVA world where only middle school students piloting Gundams can save the world, he, a guy who is sixteen years and three thousand six hundred and fifty days old, has no chance. As for being a pillar of strength, he can only try to do so every morning—you know, men always have some physiological reactions in the morning, and that's probably the most "pillar of strength" he'll ever be.

Having been given a second chance at life, Lin Yao was filled with gratitude. Even in the EVA world where everyone was destined to perish, being able to live for over twenty years for no reason was acceptable. Anyway, the finale was just a single moment, and it probably wouldn't hurt much; if it did, he could just endure it. With this thought in mind, Lin Yao seized every moment, living to the fullest.

As a result of an academic paper he published years ago, he was recruited by the United Nations and joined a classified department, becoming a mid-level staff member engaged in mecha research. Later, in order to fight against the Angels, the NERV organization started the EVA development project, and he was again recruited there in a daze. Now he clocks in and out at the NERV headquarters in the underground of Tokyo-3.

"Sigh—" Lin Yao, a young man from the EVA world, sighed. "This cheat system really couldn't have come at the worst possible time... I was all ready to return to God's embrace. Now this happens, am I supposed to save the world?"

"Wouldn't saving the world be great?" Lin Yao from the world of Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect laughed. "If I had a choice, I'd also like to save the world. Unfortunately, my world is a horror world where love drives people crazy, so I have to be careful with everything I do, or I might step on a landmine."

"Me too." Lin Yao from the Douluo World shook his head. "The war between the Beast God and the Human God that swept through the Dragon God Realm was actually caused by that absurd reason. And the Dragon God and the Light Dragon King's astonishing wisdom—let's not even talk about wisdom or not, just how astonishing it is. Now I'm not in a good position to deal with it, afraid that the Dragon God hiding in the Dragon Tomb, along with his divine position, might suddenly have a brain fart and come to fight me."

Hearing the two complain about the incident, Lin Yao, who also knew about the world of Neon Genesis Evangelion, nodded in agreement: "My world was already pretty messy, but compared to yours, it's not so bad. But at my age, almost thirty, I should be more open-minded. I don't have the passion to save the world anymore. Sigh, now I just want to enjoy my life more safely from now on, that's the most important thing."

His lack of ambition made Lin Yao from the Douluo Continent world feel somewhat envious. Unfortunately, he couldn't be like that in his own world. After all, he had set a goal, and even if it was tiring, he had to complete it diligently to be worthy of his Soul-Destroying Spear. Lin Yao from the Douluo Continent world, on the other hand, was thinking—let's quickly start the war of unification, get everything settled, become a god, solve the problems quickly, and then start enjoying life. Any further procrastination would be too exhausting.

Just then, a star throne not far away suddenly lit up. Soft light emanated from the throne, illuminating a surrounding area. Immediately afterwards, a figure appeared on the throne.

"Brothers, where is this place? I'd like to ask you something."

The voice was full of youthful vigor, clear and bright, as if it had a natural infectious power.

When Lin Yao and the other two turned around, they were all stunned.

Simply put—he's too handsome.

Leaving aside Lin Yao's mature and youthful appearance in the EVA world, even Lin Yao from the Douluo Continent and Douluo Continent worlds, who were both enhanced by their martial soul power, are among the most handsome of the thirty-odd Lin Yaos. However, compared to this handsome young man before them, who exudes a sacred and radiant aura, possesses pure eyes, and whose charisma can easily infect people, they still pale in comparison.

Even though he was dressed in a simple, black, close-fitting outfit that wasn't particularly glamorous but rather somewhat plain, it couldn't hide his handsome features. His features were exquisitely sculpted, his skin was as white as jade, and his eyes were crystal clear, as if they could reflect all the beauty in the world. The corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, carrying a gentle smile, and his whole being exuded an aura that made people want to get close to him.

All three of them couldn't help but exclaim – he was definitely the most handsome among the Lin Yao! There really was such a handsome guy!

"This guy's looks are off the charts!" Lin Yao from the Douluo Continent couldn't help but exclaim. "Not bad, not bad at all. He's raised the average level of our looks." He used to be one of the most handsome among all the Lin Yaos, and although he didn't care about that, it was still a bit of a shock to suddenly have a newcomer who was even more handsome than him. He could only say that he was truly worthy of being from another world; the potential of his genes was indeed limitless.

"You flatter me, brothers." The newcomer Lin Yao smiled upon hearing the praise. His smile made him appear even more handsome, as if he were radiating light.

Afterwards, the four of them began the memory fusion process as instructed. The newcomer, Lin Yao, extended his finger and selected the illusory star before him. A flash of light appeared, and memories flooded in—he discovered that this newcomer was actually within the same universe as the worlds of Douluo Continent and Douluo Continent.

Lin Yao from the world of Divine Throne.

He is the Son of Light, possessing an affinity for the light element no less than that of Electrox, and Saint Cher's older brother. The story takes place before the events of the previous chapters. Humanity in this world was originally powerful, but the strongest faction betrayed the exceptionally talented Son of Light, Electrox. Electrox then unleashed a calamity of the undead, devastating humanity. At this time, a demon god banished to this world by the Moon descended. This directly led to the demon god's invasion of human territory, but in the end, it was discovered that this was actually a family drama—the root of everything was internal conflict within the family.

"Right now, all I want is to quell this chaos as soon as possible, restore order to the world, and prevent it from falling into another war between humans and demons," Lin Yao from the world of Divine Throne said firmly. "This requires the strongest power, and I have both the talent and the perseverance to achieve it."

"I never imagined you were from the Divine Throne world, the world of Electrolux, and even before the main story began," Lin Yao from the Douluo Continent world exclaimed. "I originally thought Lin Yao from the Douluo Continent world, tempered by the power of the Star Sword and the Star Body, was already quite formidable, but I never expected you to be even more extraordinary—a Child of Light with 100% pure affinity, another genius no less brilliant than Electrolux. Even without your cheat codes, you're enough to shake up a world."

"I think that although both are within the worldview of the Great Gods, the cultivation system of the Throne of Gods is more complete," Lin Yao from the Douluo world added. "The soul spirit is a better match for the system of the Throne of Gods. And the Throne of Gods of Eternity and Creation directly touches upon the top power of this universe—it is definitely a power above the level of the Supreme God King."

"See? The most important thing is to improve yourself," Lin Yao from the world of Divine Throne said softly. "I don't have any intention of deliberately pursuing the Divine Throne."

Although he understood the worldview of his own world and knew that following Long Haochen's steps might grant him the approval of the Eternal God and the Throne of Creation, Lin Yao had no intention of following someone else's path. He was Lin Yao, not Long Haochen. While Lin Yao found Long Haochen, a rare protagonist with such upright values ​​in the world of gods, intriguing, he had no intention of deliberately humbled himself. He wanted to walk his own path and pacify this chaotic world in his own way.
