Douluo Continent: Starting with a Void Treasure Trove

"Is that so...?"

"Alright, that's enough. I've said enough about how I brought you up here."

"Grow strong, young man!"

As he spoke, the God of Destruction cast a mark at Xu Yang, forming a purplish-black lightning bolt pattern on Xu Yang's left hand.

"This is an insurance policy I've put on you. In case anyone targets you, I can easily intervene if necessary. Of course, I'll only do so if you're in mortal danger. You can also contact me through this mark."

"Let's go back..."

As he finished speaking the last word, Xu Yang's consciousness returned to his body.

The first person to see him was Kong Deming. Xu Yang was still holding the Black Abyss White Flower, and Kong Deming did not notice anything unusual.

It seems all that talk in Douluo Continent was just a fleeting moment...

"The God-King... does indeed possess some skill!"

He retrieved the Void Treasury into his body, touched his left hand, and sure enough, found the conspicuous purplish-black lightning mark.

Kong Deming also happened to see it. He knew Xu Yang's body very well, and Xu Yang's right hand had never had such a mark before.

"Ah Yang, what's wrong with you...?"

"This is the mark left by the deity I inherited. Through this mark, he can take action when necessary or contact me."

"Really...really?"

Kong Deming felt that his long-awaited success had finally come to fruition. He had once thought that Xu Yang's so-called divinely bestowed Void Treasury was a lie. But the powerful abilities and the unique spirit rings were undeniable...

It puzzled him greatly, but now it seems that everything is developing in a positive direction.

Kong Deming quickly calmed himself down.

Xu Yang began to tell Kong Deming information that could be known to Kong Deming.

Thirty minutes later, Kong Deming, who had finally managed to suppress his excitement, walked out of Xu Yang's room with cheerful steps.

In his opinion, Xu Yang, who had just absorbed the spirit ring and undergone the divine test, still needed some time to adjust.

He wanted to share this good news with Xu Yang's deceased parents.

……

In Xu Yang's sea of ​​consciousness, ever since the God of Destruction imprinted that mark, he discovered that the Void Treasury was different.

Its consciousness... has returned.

As expected, Xu Yang's consciousness returned to the sea of ​​his mind, where he saw a familiar figure and that irritating face.

At this moment, Void Treasury was kneading and shaping the Silver Dragon Martial Soul as if petting a cat. His face was full of despair, but his eyes lit up again when he saw Xu Yang.

As if to say:

"Thank goodness, you've finally come to save me! Do you know how cruel this guy is? He's really bullying a dragon..."

Upon first meeting Xu Yang's gaze, Void Treasury spoke:

"Long time no see... oh... or perhaps you could say, we've finally met, my friend..."

He tossed the silver dragon aside and let it fly toward Xu Yang.

That familiar tone and timbre echoed in Xu Yang's mind.

"The Void and the Myriad Treasures... Should I call you by that name?"

Xu Yang spoke in a very calm tone, as if he were chatting about everyday matters.

"Whatever, you can call me Rakshasa if you like, just to remember my old friend."

Void Treasury spoke in a flippant tone, tinged with a hint of nostalgia.

"Yes, that old friend who has been with you for five hundred years. Perhaps in a way I should call you senior... don't you think?"

"After all, without your and that person's contributions, the Honkai... wouldn't have been so easy to resolve."

Xu Yang continued speaking, following the words of Void Treasury.

"Oh... what are you talking about?"

"Honkai... It's been so long since I've heard that name."

"I never imagined that the soul I randomly selected, which seemed a bit special, would actually come from that world."

The Void Treasury's tone was tinged with shock, but it sounded more like a mischievous performance.

"The original world, that's the name we usually call that world, right...?"

Xu Yang ignored the theatrical tone of Xu Kong Wanzang and continued speaking to himself.

"After resolving the End, another problem arose, and it's actually related to you. Don't you want to know, senior...?"

Void Treasury waved his hand dismissively.

"The Honkai issue is already resolved, that damned underlying code can no longer restrain me, why should I care about anything else? Heh..."

"What you said makes some sense. It's exactly the same description of you that I found in the database. Plus, your terrible temper is really a headache."

"You've followed Otto for so many years, but you didn't learn any of his good qualities; instead, you chose to learn this."

Xu Yang finally understood the unruly nature of the Void Treasury.

"Well, in a way, we've met old friends in a foreign land. Besides... you're really not in good shape, senior. So cooperation is the best solution for both of us. I'll be frank and tell you the truth."

"As you think, I also come from the original world. Since you left, the so-called heavenly beings have become another threat. In order to find a way to fight against them, the Hengsha Project has begun again."

"Unfortunately, I was the one who was chosen. While using the Thousand Worlds One Multiplication to observe the tip of the Imaginary Number Tree, I heard a burst of wild laughter and found myself reborn in this place."

"It sounds outrageous, but that's the truth..."

Xu Yang spoke sincerely, spreading his hands as if to say, "If you don't believe me, I'm too lazy to explain anymore."

A year ago, Xu Yang had been pondering what to do if the consciousness of the Void Treasury were to revive one day; he needed to gain the Void Treasury's trust. After much thought, this was the only way.

He decided to pretend that he was someone who had unfortunately crossed over into the essential world while observing the terminal of an imaginary number.

Xu Yang couldn't be sure whether Void Treasury had secretly observed him during that year.

Only in this way can one explain why one knows so much about the Void Archives and other Keys of God, and also appropriately gain the favor of the Void Archives.

Although the latter seemed difficult to him.

After listening to Xu Yang's explanation, Void Treasury simply chuckled softly.

"How much of your clumsy explanation do you think I believed? There's no such thing as a coincidence in this world, ha..."

"If you don't believe me, senior, there's nothing I can do, but that's just how it is. Sometimes fate is really amazing."

Xu Yang ignored the mocking words of Void Treasury and continued speaking.

Seeing that Xu Yang still looked confident, the mockery on his face had lessened.

However, I still had to say something.

"I am somewhat interested in your background and why you know so much about me, but that's not the most important thing right now."

"And I know you've always wanted to access the knowledge treasury of previous civilizations. I can help you, but you need to agree to two conditions."

Xu Yang's eyes lit up when he heard that Void Treasury's tone had softened considerably.

Tell me about it.

"I need you to eliminate someone for me once you're strong enough." With that, Void Treasury projected golden energy, which gradually transformed into a human form.

The familiar face almost made Xu Yang freeze in surprise.
