Inside the Spirit Hall of the Douluo Continent, there was a special place called a Mimicry Cultivation Field. This area was filled with a very thick and bright aura of light. It was a place designed to help powerful people train their spirits. In the middle of this field, a giant dragon lay on the ground. It was so big that it looked like a small mountain. The dragon was sleeping, and its breathing made a deep sound that was not scary but felt very heavy.
The dragon was covered in bright golden scales. Each scale was lined up perfectly and seemed to catch the light, reflecting thousands of rays in every direction. Even though the dragon was fast asleep, it was still incredibly powerful. The energy coming off its body was so strong that most normal Spirit Masters or Spirit Beasts would probably faint just by standing near it. This pressure was known as Dragon Might, and it felt like a heavy weight pressing down on everything around it.
Underneath this heavy Dragon Might, a man sat very still. He was sitting with his legs crossed on the ground. He had a tall and straight posture. His long golden hair was tied simply behind his head. He had sharp eyebrows that looked like swords and bright eyes that looked like stars. His nose was straight, and his face looked both brave and strong. He was the kind of handsome man that people would stare at without even realizing it.
Compared to the massive dragon, the man looked very small. He was not even as big as one of the dragon's sharp claws. However, the pressure and energy coming from his body felt exactly like the dragon's energy. It was as if the man and the dragon were actually one single being. Suddenly, the man who had been sitting so quietly opened his arms. The spirit power inside his body began to move like a wild storm. It started sucking all the light from the room into his chest. In just a second, the bright field turned as dark as a deep hole.
Because of this sudden change, several powerful people rushed to the edge of the training field. They looked at what was happening and were completely shocked. Gold Crocodile Douluo, who was the Second Elder of the Hall of Worship, looked at the man next to him. That man was Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder. Gold Crocodile Douluo spoke in a surprised voice. He said that it looked like the man in the field was about to become a god.
Both of these men were Rank 99 Titled Douluo, which made them the strongest people there. Since one of their own was causing this strange event, Gold Crocodile Douluo wanted an answer. Qian Daoliu just shook his head as he watched. He explained that he did not really know what was happening. Even though he was Rank 99 and only one level away from the Rank 100 God level, that small gap was full of secrets he did not understand yet.
In the crowd of people watching, there was a woman named Bibi Dong. She was wearing a beautiful and expensive long gown. She watched the man in the field with a look of hope and excitement. It looked like she wanted to run to him, but she knew she had to wait. After a short while, the darkness in the field began to fade away. The light came back, and the area became bright again.
The man, Yu Xiaogang, finally opened his eyes. He had been sitting and training for a long time, but now he slowly stood up. He squeezed his fists and felt the incredible power flowing through his arms. He felt very happy with his progress. He thought to himself that he had taken another big step. He believed that soon he would be able to cover his whole body in light. Once he did that, he felt he would be strong enough to fight even a First-Class God.
Yu Xiaogang was very confident. He knew the old legends and the gods looked down on him, but he did not care. He was determined to use his own hard work to become even stronger than the gods themselves. While he was thinking about this, he heard a very excited voice calling his name. It was Bibi Dong. When he heard her, the serious look on his face disappeared and he looked very kind. He opened his arms, and she ran right into them.
As he held her, Yu Xiaogang felt very lucky. He felt that his life in this world was finally perfect. However, their private moment did not last long. Qian Daoliu watched them and coughed loudly to get their attention. He told them that if they wanted to be sweet to each other, they should do it later. He asked Yu Xiaogang to explain to the older men what was actually happening with his power.
Yu Xiaogang looked at the High Priest and explained that he was working on the special way to become a god that he had mentioned before. He told them he had finally made a big breakthrough today. Qian Daoliu looked surprised. He asked if Yu Xiaogang was still trying that method and if it could really work to make someone a god.
Yu Xiaogang answered that the gods of this world were really just very powerful humans. He believed that if someone could find a way to get enough strength, becoming a god was not actually that hard. He said the only difficult part was figuring out the right path to get there. He sighed as he thought about his journey. It seemed like he always ended up taking the hardest path possible.
Just as the group was about to talk more, a strange noise filled the air. It was a loud buzzing sound that everyone could feel in their hearts. Every person across the entire Douluo Continent heard it at the same time. Then, a giant black screen appeared in the sky. It looked like a massive curtain. No matter where a person was standing, they could see this screen clearly when they looked up.
Gold Crocodile Douluo narrowed his eyes as he stared at the sky. He asked what that strange thing was. The Third Priest, Azure Luan Douluo, wondered if it was a Spirit Ability from a very powerful expert. Qian Daoliu told everyone to stay calm and wait. He knew that the Spirit Hall was very strong and they didn't need to fear anything unless a real god showed up.
Soon, the black screen started to change. Words began to appear on it. The words were easy to read, so even people who had never been to school could understand them. The screen said that it was detecting other worlds that were like their own. It announced that it was going to compare two different versions of the Douluo world. Information about these parallel worlds was sent directly into everyone's minds so they could understand.
The Fourth Priest, Lion Douluo, gasped in surprise. He found it hard to believe that there was another world just like theirs. He realized that a single choice made by one person could change the whole world.
The idea that there were other versions of themselves out there was a lot to process. Gold Crocodile Douluo even joked with Qian Daoliu. He asked if there was a world where he was the High Priest instead. Qian Daoliu just laughed and asked if he really wanted to hear his big brother call him boss.
Bibi Dong looked at Yu Xiaogang with a curious face. She asked him if he thought they were together in that other world too. Yu Xiaogang smiled and rubbed her head. He told her that it didn't matter what happened in other worlds because they were together right here and now. Bibi Dong hugged him tightly, feeling very happy, and he hugged her back.
While he held her, Yu Xiaogang started thinking about his past. He wasn't originally from this world. Before he died and was reborn here, he had heard bits and pieces of a story about a place called Douluo Continent. He didn't know the whole story, but he knew about a hero named Tang San and a group called Shrek. He also knew about the Spirit Hall, which was supposed to be the bad guys.
Most importantly, he remembered hearing about a man named Yu Xiaogang who was supposed to be a weak teacher with trash skills. When he first realized he had become that person, he was very scared. But he was smart and used his imagination from his old life to study the spirit system in a new way. Because of his hard work, he changed his own destiny. He had lived a very exciting life since then.
He wondered who the screen would compare. He thought about the version of himself from the stories he heard before. He shook his head and laughed quietly. He knew that if the people here saw the other version of him, they would be very shocked.
Just then, the giant screen in the sky finished picking the people for the comparison. The text showed that the first comparison would be between the Yu Xiaogang from the Black World and the Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang from the White World.
