Chapter 1: Rebirth as a Snake
Douluo Continent – Sunset Forest – Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well
Crack...
A sound echoed within the canyon where two opposing pools of extreme yin and yang energies swirled — the legendary Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. From a black egg nestled in the shadows between flame and frost, a 1.2-meter-long black-scaled python emerged with a soft hissss~.
Its cold, vertical pupils gleamed with intelligence far beyond a newborn beast.
"Did I... just get reborn in Douluo?" the serpent thought, his mind spinning.
In his past life, he was an average 19-year-old otaku, addicted to late-night anime and cultivation novels. Ironically, it was that very habit that killed him — he died from sheer fatigue and sleep deprivation. But just when he thought everything was over, a golden message appeared before his soul...
[System Detected – Binding to Host Soul...]

Birth Location: Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well (Before Dugu Bo's Occupation)
"So it's real... I became a soul beast. A snake, no less. But in this treasure land? This is not bad at all."
He had chosen well. Before the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well would become known to the world, it was his cradle.
"System," he hissed mentally, "show me my status and explain your functions."

He narrowed his serpentine eyes, absorbing the information. While the system hadn't given him full explanations yet, the brief descriptions were more than enough.
"Dimensional travel — I can go to any world I choose.
Copy — insane. I can literally steal the best parts of other beings.
Skill modification — I can evolve or fix any broken technique...*"
As for the system currency, it was called Origin Points — earned by triggering strong emotions (awe, fear, hatred, admiration, etc.) from others toward him. A passive but steady method, especially for someone who would rise through the ranks of monsters and men alike.
One thing was clear — this system had no independent consciousness and gave no quests. It was a cold tool, but an overpowered one.
"Alright," he hissed, tail flicking with excitement, "System, open the Newbie Pack."

Gu Yuan's serpent body trembled slightly.
"What the hell? This... is way too generous. A Self-Created God Position? Five bloodline cards? Martial soul selections while I'm a soul beast?!"
His pitch-black scales shimmered under the twin lights of fire and ice as he took in the weight of his new life.
He was no longer just a reborn snake.
He was the beginning of something terrifying.
The world had yet to notice the black-scaled python curled in the sacred spring,
but soon, the continent would remember his name
.....,
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well roared silently, its twin forces of flame and frost swirling in harmony, unaware that a storm far beyond nature's balance was about to awaken at its heart.
From the center, curled in a crevice between the red-hot pool and the freezing spring, a 1.2-meter-long black-scaled python rested, eyes gleaming with unnatural intelligence.
> "System," the serpent hissed, voice echoing in his mind. "I want to select three bloodlines."

Without hesitation, he chose:
> "Give me:

3. Dou Di
Save the last two for later."
---
💠 [Ding! Assimilating Selected Bloodlines...]
The air shook. Shadow crept from his body and the light dimmed around him. He felt his very soul fracture and reform—powerful essences weaving into his being:
From the Shadow Monarch, a vast cold darkness took root in his soul.
From the Otsutsuki Clan, divine energy filled his cells, awakening something ancient in his eyes.
From the Dou Di, a spiral of battle qi ignited in his dantian, fierce and untamed.

His black scales shimmered with a faint purple-blue undercurrent. His eyes briefly flashed—three rotating tomoe spun in each pupil, observing everything in 360° clarity.
---
> "System, use one Transformation Pill. I want to take human form—one that I can switch with my beast form at will."
[Ding! Transformation Pill consumed. Dual Form established.]
His body twisted upward in a spiraling cyclone of shadow. Seconds later, a 16-year-old human youth stood at the well's edge. His appearance was coldly handsome—black hair cascading to his back, flawless pale skin, and eerie Crimson eyes swirling with black tomoe.
His bare feet stood upon fire and ice like a monarch on his throne.
> "This body… it's perfect."
---
> "Now, fuse the Bone-Chilling Cold Fire."
[Ding! Fusion complete. Host has successfully merged the Cold Fire with no backlash.]
In his chest, a blue flame burst into existence, radiating cold so deep it could freeze spiritual energy. It curled around his dark qi and merged with his shadowy essence—creating a perfect blend of cold flame and dark regeneration.

> "Now, claim the God Emperor Self-Created God Position."

> "Heh… Dragon God? Just a quasi-God Emperor. I'll be the first real one."
Gu Yuan's figure flickered with darkness and flame. Bone-chilling cold surrounded his soul. His Sharingan eyes saw through space. His shadow churned, already housing a whisper of stored power.
He was no longer a soul beast. Not really. He was a being born to break the limits of fate.

From within the trees nearby, a pair of violet serpent eyes flickered open—the newborn Medusa Serpent, still unaware of what destiny lurked nearby.
But the world would soon tremble.
A being with three ancient bloodlines, a divine fire, eyes of the gods, and the power to devour even fate…
had been born at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
