After settling the Zhu sisters, Rayne teleported back to the core area of Great Star Dou Forest.
It's not that Rayne doesn't want to spend more time with Zhu Zhuqing.
It's just that... the current Zhu Zhuqing is ultimately not the one he knows and had intimate relationship with.
He can't just force himself on her, just based on a previous life relationship — which Zhuqing isn't even aware of.
He plans to take time, slowly getting to know her, spending appropriate time with her.
Anyway, start anew.
After a bit of discussions with the Great Beasts and Gu Yuena, Rayne decided to take them to a different city.
Soon, he took them all to another city — which he bought and renovated moderately — located in the border of between Heaven Dou Empire and Star Dou Empire.
A subsidiary city under the control of Ouroboros Tower. It is also free from being part of any other empire or forces.
In the middle of the city is a massive silver tower that seemed to reach the skies.
A structure of silver, crystal, and glowing celestial veins that spiraled endlessly into the sky.
But what most didn't know was that, what appeared above ground was merely 1% of its true form.
About more than two kilometers from it was another black obsidian tower, similarly huge in height.
Di Tian and others solemnly looked at massive silver tower and obsidian black tower.
Gu Yuena also looked on with astonishment.
"This is... a super divine tool? It doesn't seem to be False World of Infinite Records. But something created based on it?"
She has still inherited some memories of the highest level Super Divine Tool created by Ouroboros — False World Of Infinite Records!
Rayne stepped forward, then turned around to look at the group of great beasts.
"These are Myriad Soul Tower and Spirit Ascension Tower. Without a doubt, a architecture-type Super Divine Tool."
"This is what I prepared for you soul beast race. In a month, you, this tower, and this city... will become a colossal force that will hold the lifeline of human soul masters."
"Of course, I don't mean for the soul beast to oppress humanity."
"In the near future, as a penalty for seven defiances of Space-time as well as Life-Death rules. A great disaster will strike this planet. An invasion. But it can also be an opportunity for ascension."
"Humans alone cannot hope to face that threat. But there might be hope if soul beasts also join in on the battle for survival."
"And these two towers, this city, will be the cornerstone for the recovery and growth of soul beast race."
...
A day later.
It was a normal sunny afternoon across Douluo Continent.
The wind blew gently over the rooftops of Heaven Dou City.
Birds chirped in the skies above the Star Luo Empire.
In the deepest parts of the Great Star Dou Forest, soul beasts rested lazily.
Everything was peaceful.
Until—
A voice.
A voice, strange yet divine, casual yet profound, suddenly echoed across the entire world.
Not just through ears, but straight into everyone's mind.
Be they noble or commoner, Titled Douluo or soul master trainee, child or ancient elder — everyone heard it.
Even Dogs, cats, insects, and plants. Basically everything that had life and soul.
"Good morning, world!"
"Today, I bring you a humble gift. A record from another world, written by a brilliant man whose name shall remain hidden."
"This collection of knowledge includes cultivation techniques, hidden weapon crafting methods, poison concoctions, knowledge of heaven and earth plant treasures, and body tempering manuals."
"Allow me to introduce… the Mysterious Heaven Record!"
"Courtesy of a certain someone from the Tang Sect. Hehe, though he probably wouldn't be too happy about it~."
"And with a bit of contribution from Spirit Hall, that allowed the arrival of this Tang Sect member who wishes to remain anonymous~."
"Enjoy, folks. Study well. Learn fast. I heard certain sects have been keeping techniques and knowledge like this to themselves for years."
"But the heavens are fair, and I, too, am fair. So let the world be fair too!"
"From now on, the Mysterious Heaven Record shall be free. For all!"
"By the way, to all leaders and important people who received invitations... Be sure to attend the grand conference."
BOOM!!
Like a divine book opening in the sky, thousands of golden words manifested across the heavens.
From the skies of the Sun Moon Continent to the shores of Sea God Island, golden text filled the clouds.
Page by page, line by line, the entire unabridged version of the Mysterious Heaven Record appeared before every cultivator's mind.
No.... In the minds of every living being. The knowledge was etched into their souls, unforgettable.
And worst, or rather, best of all?
Every version was perfect.
Nothing was censored. Nothing was missing. No seals. No traps.
Full access.
EVERYONE GOT EVERYTHING.
...
Spirit City, Spirit Hall.
In a high tower, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan dropped his tea cup. It shattered into pieces.
"What in the name of the gods?!"
"Those crazy people from Ouroboros Tower... They really did it!! They really spread such era changing knowledge, worldwide!"
Ghost Douluo also looked a little dazed.
Even though they had received a castrated version of this technique beforehand for reference.
The original, unabridged version, far exceeded their expectation.
In the Supreme Pontiff Temple, Bibi Dong's eyes glowed with a rare light. Her delicate fingers traced the floating mental projection.
"So detailed... refined breathing method, meridian control diagrams… hidden weapon blueprints?" she muttered in awe.
She narrowed her eyes. "Tang Sect from another world, huh? If I remember correctly, the sect created by Tang San was also called Tang Sect. And these hidden weapons... They're exactly the same ones Tang San used."
"Tang San and Tang Sect from another world... What kind of connection could there be between them?"
At the same time, in Douluo Palace of Spirit Hall.
Qian Daoliu sighed with amazement after looking through the knowledge.
"Rayne... That guy... Just what is he thinking, releasing knowledge like this all around the world. The whole world will be in chaos."
In another room.
"Is this… the Mysterious Heaven Breathing Technique?"
Qian Renxue — sat alone in her private chamber, golden light flickering in her pupils.
"It's too well-crafted. The energy cultivated by this technique is so similar to Tang San...? Tang San... Tang Sect... Don't tell me, is he actually an outsider from another world?"
...
Sea God Island.
A beautiful silver haired woman gazed at the vast sea in a daze and disbelief.
"That voice just now... That was Rayne! He is alive! He is really alive! I knew it! He became a God even stronger than Lord Sea God! There is no way he would die so easily!"
Her tone, very excited, full of joy.
...
Far North, Core Area.
Within a palace of crystal frost and diamond snow, the coldest beings in the world gathered.
Clad in an imperial robe made of condensed snowflakes and silver frost, the Snow Empress sat on a throne of eternal ice, arms folded across her chest, expression utterly unreadable.
"That voice... It's him."
A small glowing ice jade tablet hovered in front of her.
Lines of glowing text scrolled endlessly across its surface.
Reflecting all the knowledge that was just etched into her mind.
A gift… from him.
"Mysterious Heaven Record… cultivation techniques… body refinement… hidden weapons... poison arts…"
The Ice Empress murmured softly, her golden-pupil eyes narrowing as she read the contents alongside Snow Empress.
Floating beside the throne in her human form, the Ice Empress looked... conflicted.
The atmosphere was strange.
Not because of the content.
But because of the origin.
"...Rayne." Snow Empress finally spoke.
His name was like a drop of black ink on a canvas of snow.
The entire hall felt colder.
A hundred thousand-year-old Ice Bear below shivered despite his natural resistance.
Ice Empress floated a little closer, her voice cautious. "You seem... troubled, Xue'er."
Ice Empress knew that Snow Empress is now a bit emotionally unstable.
Snow Empress didn't speak for a long while.
"Rayne... He's still alive. I'm glad."
"He'll come to meet me again. With human world's delicacies. We'll have tea and have small talks, just like before."
The faint, but, hopeful whispers of Snow Empress resounded in the silent ice hall.
...
Star Luo Empire, Zhu Clan.
The father of Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing, slapped his own head.
"This is divine knowledge! Where the hell did this come from!?"
A young instructor in their inner court gasped.
"These manuals… our inherited meditation method cannot even begin to compare to this!"
"This movement technique will be of great help to our clan. No, this technique seems to be perfect fit for our Nether Civet martial soul!'
"It truly is God's blessing!"
...
A low level sect that focuses on Hidden Weapon manufacture and mastery.
A hidden elder threw his entire shelf over.
"Who leaked our techniques?!"
Then he froze. His eyes bulged.
"No... These aren't leaks. This… this is better than what we have!!"
"Such immaculate hidden Weapon techniques..."
"Hahaha!! Our 'Little Punk Hidden Weapon Sect' is about to rise! We have received the gift of Gods!"
...
Various Clans, Schools, and Sects.
Absolute chaos.
Countless clans rushed to transcribe the mind-inherited messages into books.
Craftsmen and blacksmiths drooled over the blueprints for the sleeve arrow, flying needles, and Peacock Plume.
Apothecaries were stunned by the detailed poison combinations.
And rogue soul masters across the continent howled in joy.
"Finally! A complete meditation method! No... It seems to be called cultivation technique? Finally a method for body refinement!"
"Hidden weapons? You mean I don't have to face those rich noble kids head-on anymore?!"
"This Purple Demon Eye Technique... If I practice it to perfection, can I see through the clothes of jade beauties?!"
"This movement technique seems to be awesome! I'm going to be the greatest thief after mastering it. No, I'm going to become the king of thieves!"
...
Meanwhile, in the outskirts of Star Dou Great Forest…
Tang San stood still.
So still, the wind stopped moving around him.
His face had turned pale.
His mouth opened and closed, but no words came out.
Oscar scratched his head. "Xiao San? Why are you sweating so much?"
Dai Mubai raised an eyebrow. "You okay, bro?"
Tang San's lips trembled.
"…That voice just now…"
He suddenly took out a small booklet from his storage tool.
It was an old, worn-out notebook with small lines of detailed, cryptic diagrams inside.
He flipped a few pages—then flipped faster.
Then flipped again.
He stopped.
Then screamed.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
Oscar jumped three feet in the air.
"Holy hell! What is wrong with you?!"
Tang San fell to his knees, clutching his head.
"My… My… MY MYSTERIOUS HEAVEN RECORD!!!"
"It's gone! Stolen! Leaked! THAT BASTARD!!"
Ma Hongjun blinked in confusion. "You mean that divine cultivation book that just got transmitted to the whole continent?"
"YES, FATTY!" Tang San roared like a tiger in heat. "That was MY life's work! MY secret! Even in my past life, NO ONE touched it without my permission!!"
"My father, my teacher, even Xiao Wu! No one got to see the full version!!"
"But now.... NOW! This damn bastard just handed it out like some… like some flavored candy on new year!!"
He gritted his teeth, shaking with fury.
"Who did this?! who dared to do such a blasphemous thing?!"
A teasing wind blew through the trees.
And a single mental whisper entered his ears.
"Thanks for your contribution to the world, Tang Sect founder. The people of this era will remember your generosity… even if unwilling."
"With love, from an anonymous fan~."
Tang San's expression turned black.
His pupils dilated with rage.
"RAYNE!!!"
Birds fled from nearby trees.
Even soul beasts instinctively backed away.
Oscar took a step back. "Wow, bro. I've never seen you this mad before."
Dai Mubai sighed. "This guy… he really doesn't hold back, does he?"
Ma Hongjun muttered, "That Rayne is insane as always…"
Tang San clenched his fists, veins bulging.
"That white-haired blue-eyed bastard... He made the Mysterious Heaven Record public... He insulted my soul... my Tang Sect's foundation!"
"That bastard... He knows! He definitely knows that we're reborn! He is toying with us! We're just entertainment for him!"
He turned his head toward the north, toward the city of strange clouds and distant towers… which are faintly visible, even though it is tens of thousands of miles far from the current location.
Ouroboros City.
His teeth cracked as he growled,
"I swear… one day, I will take it all back."
...
In Ouroboros Tower
Rayne was casually sipping wine in a floating courtyard, Gu Shuiying massaging his shoulders while Gu Huoling fed him sweet fruits.
Gu Yuena sat nearby, immersed in the Mysterious Heaven Record, frowning and smiling at intervals.
Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun were practicing stealth and assassination techniques from taught by Rayne, under the supervision of robotic spirit beasts.
Rayne hummed.
"You'd think that little punk would be grateful someone finally made his hidden inheritance worth something."
"He always kept the complete version of it hidden, as if it's his own ancestor's dung."
Gu Shuiying chuckled. "He's probably foaming at the mouth."
Rayne smirked.
"I promised I would give back to the world. I never said whose secrets I'd give."
Then he looked out at the far horizon.
"Let him drown in the world he tried to control."
