Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

In these five years, if there was anyone who wasn't happy, it would only be Ning Fengzhi.

He also wanted to become a god.

Ever since witnessing Lin Yao defeat the God King of Light and create his own God Emperor status, Ning Fengzhi's long-dormant heart of a powerful being has been rekindled. He saw a higher and more distant sky, a wider world, and the path to godhood.

Moreover, with his current foundation and conditions, becoming a god is no longer an unattainable dream. His son-in-law, Lin Yao, is the only God Emperor in this world, possessing supreme power and authority; his daughter, Ning Rongrong, is a God Empress, possessing the divine position of Empress and the strength of a peak God King. With the support and help of these two, becoming a god is simpler for him than eating or drinking.

Moreover, in the past five years, the Douluo Federation has compiled a wealth of information and experience regarding the progression from Title Douluo to God-level. Knowledge once considered closely guarded secrets has now been systematically compiled into books for the Federation's high-ranking leaders to consult. As the Federation's Vice President, Ning Fengzhi naturally possesses the highest authority to access this information.

It can be said that as long as he is willing to put in the effort and time, becoming a god is a foregone conclusion.

However, unfortunately—

These five years were a period of rapid development for the Douluo Federation, but also a period in which his father-in-law was exhausted.

His own somewhat philandering son-in-law was always thinking about taking Ning Rongrong and her wives on trips, one day to watch the sunrise in the East Sea, the next day to see the desert in the Western Wilderness, and the day after that, off to explore some newly discovered continent. The vast Douluo Federation, with all its affairs, big and small, fell on the shoulders of this vice president.

He had to maintain the correct direction of the rapid development of the Douluo Federation, coordinate the balance of power among the major forces such as the Spirit Hall, the Spirit Pagoda, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Ye Family, the Dugu Family, and the Shui Family, deal with the endless stream of livelihood issues, and also cope with all sorts of troublesome matters from the newly conquered continent.

Ning Fengzhi felt exhausted.

But he had no choice.

Lin Yao gave him too much. Not only did he give his daughter Ning Rongrong the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, but he also helped him make up for the defects in his martial soul, allowing his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to evolve into the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and then further evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda before the establishment of the Douluo Federation.

Now, he possesses the confidence and potential to evolve the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the legendary Ten Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda—a result of Lin Yao's profound transformation and guidance of his martial soul using the power of the stars. Ning Rongrong has it, and he, as her father, naturally has it too.

This unconditional treatment, like that of a biological son, filled Ning Fengzhi with gratitude. It was precisely because of this gratitude that he was unwilling to let Lin Yao's hard work go to waste, and that he was willing to shoulder this heavy responsibility to protect this land for Lin Yao.

"Sigh, I don't know how much longer these old bones of mine can hold on." Ning Fengzhi rubbed his aching temples and sighed.

"Fengzhi, stop complaining." Chenxin put down her teacup and smiled. "Ayao and Rongrong are also working hard for the future of the continent. They travel far and wide, discover new continents, and integrate resources. Isn't all of this for the development of the Federation?"

"I know, I know," Ning Fengzhi waved his hand. "I was just saying it casually. As their father, I'm happier than anyone else to see those two kids achieve what they have today. It's just... sigh, I want to become a god too. Seeing that you, Uncle Jian, are almost at the threshold of becoming a Sword God, while I'm still here approving official documents, how can I not be anxious?"

Chen Xin laughed heartily: "What's the rush? With your foundation and conditions, becoming a god is only a matter of time. Besides, didn't A Yao say that once you're done with this busy period, he'll personally protect you and help you break through to godhood?"

"Which period is 'that period'?" Ning Fengzhi rolled his eyes. "Last year he said he'd wait until this year, and this year he says he'll wait until next year. I think he just wants to keep me tied to this position so he can enjoy himself."

"You're just stubborn," Chen Xin shook her head. "If you really don't want to do it, who can force you?"

Ning Fengzhi was silent for a moment, then sighed: "Yes, no one can force me. But if I don't do it, who will? The Federation has just gotten back on track and everything needs to be rebuilt. It's a time when we need people. Although A Yao is powerful, he's still young and hasn't considered many things thoroughly. This old man has to keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't go astray."

Chen Xin nodded with relief: "I'm relieved that you think that way. Although A Yao is exceptionally talented, he's still young and impetuous, and sometimes he acts rashly. With you, his mature and prudent father-in-law, overseeing things, I can focus on my attempt to reach the Sword God realm."

"So you all treat me like a laborer, huh?" Ning Fengzhi said irritably.

Chen Xin smiled and was about to speak when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside.

"Sect Master! Sect Master!" A sect disciple rushed in, panting, his face full of excitement. "They're back! Young Master Lin Yao and Miss Rongrong are back!"

"Clatter—"

Ning Fengzhi dropped his calligraphy brush onto the table, the ink staining a newly approved official document, but he was completely unaware. He suddenly stood up, his face beaming with a mixture of surprise and delight: "Really? That's wonderful! Those two guys who only thought about enjoying themselves and forgot about their old father and father-in-law have finally decided to come back!"

As he spoke, he walked quickly outside, then stopped after a couple of steps, turning back to Chen Xin and saying, "Uncle Jian, come with me quickly. I want to ask that brat where he's been for the past five years, not even sending a single word back!"

Chen Xin stood up with a smile and followed Ning Fengzhi: "Yes, A Yao and Rongrong are finally back. These little guys just love to play. Even though they're stronger than us, they're still so playful."

Although he said that, his face couldn't hide his love and surprise, and his eyes and brows were full of smiles.

"Indeed, the only downside is that it exhausted me," Ning Fengzhi complained as he walked. "I suspect that brat Yao pulled me into the Douluo Federation so early to become the vice president, just so he could take Rongrong and her group of best friends on a trip, leaving me here alone to handle official business!"

"Haha, the capable should do more work," Chen Xin laughed.

"The capable should do more work? I think it should be that the capable are overworked!" Ning Fengzhi said indignantly.

As soon as the two arrived at the study door, they saw two familiar figures standing on the veranda, smiling at them.

It was Lin Yao and Ning Rongrong.

Five years of travel had instilled in them a sense of composure and tranquility. Lin Yao, dressed in a long white robe with the Star Sword at his waist, exuded an ethereal and otherworldly aura, like a banished immortal. Ning Rongrong, on the other hand, wore a light purple dress, her long hair flowing over her shoulders, her temperament gentle and noble, like a goddess descended from heaven.

"Dad, Grandpa Jian, we're back." Ning Rongrong greeted them with a sweet smile.

Even though their strength had reached a level beyond that of gods—one possessing the rank of God Emperor and the other the rank of God Empress—they still treated their elders with the same respect and affection as always.

Looking at his daughter's familiar smiling face, Ning Fengzhi's resentment dissipated considerably. However, he still maintained a stern expression and coldly snorted, "Hmph, so you know how to come back? I thought you'd forgotten all about your home!"

"Dad, what are you saying?" Ning Rongrong clung to Ning Fengzhi's arm, pouting, "How could Yao-gege and I forget about home? We're back now, aren't we?"

"Yes, father-in-law." Lin Yao stepped forward and bowed respectfully. "These past five years have been tough on you."

Looking at Lin Yao's sincere face, Ning Fengzhi's resentment dissipated somewhat. But he still feigned dissatisfaction and said, "Hard work? Do you know how hard I work? You, on the other hand, are taking Rongrong traveling everywhere, while I'm here all alone, approving documents, attending meetings, and mediating disputes. Half my hair has turned white!"

Lin Yao scratched his head somewhat awkwardly: "Father-in-law, I just heard you say you've been busy with matters concerning the Douluo Federation and are exhausted. That shouldn't be the case. The Douluo Federation's system I designed was a conference system, with representatives from various forces discussing matters together. They should cooperate and coordinate with each other. Logically, it shouldn't be this tiring, right?"

"You make it sound so easy, kid!" Ning Fengzhi said irritably. "With you in charge, everything is easy. Who would dare disobey your word? But if I were in charge, there would be so much more to deal with! There are some minor conflicts between the Spirit Hall and the Spirit Pagoda, the Ye family and the Dugu family have a dispute over territory, and the Shui family wants more resources… Which of these messy matters doesn't require my coordination? Which doesn't require my balancing act?"

He grew increasingly agitated as he spoke: "And then there are those newly conquered continents, those indigenous forces, outwardly submissive but constantly plotting behind the scenes. I need to send people to maintain stability, establish new administrative institutions, and implement federal laws and policies… Which of these things is easy?"

Listening to Ning Fengzhi's complaints, Lin Yao felt a pang of guilt. He knew he had indeed gone too far in being a hands-off manager. But there was nothing he could do—he needed someone trustworthy to look after him from behind, and Ning Fengzhi was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

"Father-in-law, thank you for your hard work," Lin Yao said sincerely. "These past years, thanks to you holding the fort at home, Rongrong and I have been able to travel with peace of mind. Don't worry, once I've finished dealing with my current affairs, I'll come and take over for you, so you can also get some rest."

"Rest?" Ning Fengzhi snorted. "Right now, all I want is to become a god! If you're truly filial, then protect me and help me reach godhood sooner!"

"Of course," Lin Yao said with a smile. "But before that, I'd like to introduce you to two people."

"Two people?" Ning Fengzhi was taken aback. "Who?"

Lin Yao smiled slightly and turned to look at the doorway: "You two, why aren't you coming in?"

As soon as he finished speaking, two small figures peeked out from behind the door.

There was a boy and a girl, who looked to be about four or five years old. The boy was wearing a small blue robe, and his features resembled Lin Yao's by about seven or eight points. His big eyes were bright and piercing, revealing a hint of cleverness and playfulness. The girl was wearing a pink dress, with two pigtails. She was beautifully sculpted, and her big eyes blinked shyly as she hid behind her brother.

The boy, being a bit bolder, took his sister's hand and led her into the house. He imitated the adults, bowing respectfully: "Grandpa, hello. Great-Grandpa, hello. My name is Lin Tian, ​​and I'm Liuli's older brother."

The girl hid behind her brother, peeking out half her head and looking timidly at Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin. Encouraged by her mother, she finally mustered her courage, stepped forward, and bowed like her brother: "Grandpa, hello. Great-Grandpa, hello. My name is Lin Liuli, and I'm your sister."

Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin were both stunned.

They stared at the two exquisitely beautiful little children before them, momentarily speechless.

"Ah Yao, they... are your and Rongrong's children?" Chen Xin asked excitedly, her voice trembling slightly.

Lin Yao nodded, a fatherly smile on his face: "Yes, Grandpa Jian. They are my and Rongrong's children, and they are five years old this year."

"Five years old..." Ning Fengzhi murmured, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the two children. He could sense that the two children contained extremely large fluctuations of soul power, so strong that they were even more terrifying than some adult soul masters.

"Xiao Tian, ​​Liu Li, tell your maternal grandfather and great-grandfather about your martial spirits and levels," Ning Rongrong said softly.

Lin Tian stepped forward, puffed out his little chest, and said loudly, "Grandpa, Great-Grandpa, my martial soul is the Star Sword, I'm five years old, and a level 42 power-attack type battle soul master!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp sword intent emanated from his body. Although it was still very immature, the power contained in that sword intent already surprised Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin.

Lin Liuli hid behind her brother and whispered, "I... my martial soul is the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. I'm five years old and a level 38 support-type weapon soul master."

She stretched out her small hand, and a delicate nine-treasure glazed pagoda appeared in her palm. The pagoda had nine stories, each radiating a soft light, just like Ning Rongrong's nine-treasure glazed pagoda, only much smaller in scale.

Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin were completely stunned.

Five years old? Level 42? Level 38?

What does this mean?

Keep in mind that when Lin Yao was five years old, he only had innate full soul power and hadn't even started formal cultivation yet. These two children, however, had already reached the Soul Master level at just five! Especially Lin Tian, ​​whose level 42 soul power cultivation was equivalent to some adult Soul Masters who had cultivated for over ten years!

"This...this..." Ning Fengzhi opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Lin Yao smiled and said, "Both children were born with innate level 30 soul power. In addition, I taught them a set of cultivation techniques, so their cultivation speed is several times faster than that of ordinary people. That's why their levels are higher than their peers."

"Level 30 innate realm..." Ning Fengzhi gasped. "Doesn't that mean they were born with the cultivation level of a Soul Venerable?"

"That's roughly the idea," Lin Yao nodded. "However, high innate soul power doesn't necessarily guarantee high future achievements. Ultimately, the path of cultivation depends on one's own efforts and comprehension. All I can give them is a higher starting point."

"That's enough, that's enough." Ning Fengzhi nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with excitement. "Having such a starting point already puts you far ahead of the vast majority of people! As long as they're willing to work hard, their future achievements will definitely not be inferior to yours!"

He stepped forward, squatted down, and carefully examined the two children. Lin Tian stood tall and proud, letting him see him openly; Lin Liuli, on the other hand, was a little shy, hiding behind her brother and occasionally peeking out half her head to steal a glance at him.

"Good, good, good!" Ning Fengzhi exclaimed three times, his face beaming with joy. "They truly are my grandson and granddaughter! Their talent and aptitude far surpass what their parents had back then!"

Chen Xin stepped forward and knelt down in front of the two children, her eyes filled with affection: "Lin Tian, ​​Lin Liuli, good names. Xiao Tian, ​​your martial soul is the Star Sword, just like your father. Liuli, your martial soul is the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, just like your mother. Very good, very good."

He reached out, wanting to touch the two children's heads, but then hesitated, afraid of startling them, his hand hovering in mid-air, somewhat at a loss.

Seeing this, Lin Tian stepped forward and took Chen Xin's hand, saying, "Great-Grandpa, feel free to touch it. Dad said that Great-Grandpa and Grandpa are both good people, so don't be afraid."

Chen Xin was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Good child, good child! Much more sensible than your father was when he was young!"

He scooped Lin Tian up in his arms and lifted him above his head, making Lin Tian giggle. Ning Fengzhi, not to be outdone, picked up Lin Liuli and gently coaxed her to call him Grandpa.

Lin Liuli was a little shy at first, but she quickly relaxed under Ning Fengzhi's gentle coaxing. She hugged Ning Fengzhi's neck and called out in a childish voice, "Grandpa."

Ning Fengzhi's heart melted.

He held Lin Liuli in his arms, looking at her from left to right, unable to get enough of her. He would tease her to talk, perform a little magic trick for her, and then take out all sorts of snacks and toys from his storage soul tool, wishing he could give her the best things in the world.

Chen Xin did the same. He held Lin Tian, ​​asking about his cultivation progress, whether he had learned swordsmanship, what he liked to eat, and what he liked to play. Lin Tian answered each question clearly and articulately, making Chen Xin like him more and more.

Lin Yao and Ning Rongrong stood aside, watching the two elderly people holding the child tightly and not letting go, and exchanged a helpless glance.

Well, now that I have grandchildren, my daughter and son-in-law have become strangers.

"It seems that my father-in-law and Grandpa Jian won't be paying attention to us anytime soon," Lin Yao said with a wry smile.

Ning Rongrong covered her mouth and chuckled, "Isn't that perfect? ​​While they're taking care of the kids, we can go out and have some fun again."

"You still want to go out and have fun?" Lin Yao pinched her nose. "Haven't you had enough fun in the past five years?"

"I could never get enough of being with you," Ning Rongrong whispered, leaning on his shoulder.

Lin Yao felt a warmth in his heart, put his arm around her waist, and gently kissed her forehead.

"Alright, then let's keep playing. Let's play all over Douluo Star, all over the entire God Realm, and every corner of this universe."

Ning Rongrong raised her head, looked at him, her eyes full of tenderness: "It's a deal."
