Chapter 5 Accidentally
Just when Lu Xingchen thought he was doomed, Adam, the most mysterious and feared voyeur in the world of Lord of Mysteries, made his appearance.
Adam, the Sequence Zero True God of the "Audience" pathway: The Dreamer, wields a portion of the authority of the "Chaos Sea" and is one of the oldest beings in this world.
Perhaps it was just to create some trouble for the newly born "fools," or perhaps there was a deeper, unknown purpose.
Adam, through the authority of the "Dreamer," temporarily lent a portion of the power of the "Chaotic Sea" to the severely injured Lu Xingchen.
In an instant, Lu Xingchen felt his soul being overwhelmed by a vast, powerful force, yet filled with chaos and destruction.
His consciousness surged in an instant, surpassing that of a demigod and a true god, briefly granting him half the power of the "Old Ones"!
It was a terrifying force capable of shaking the stars and overturning the world.
Although Lu Xingchen had absolutely no idea what Adam, this "old silver coin," was thinking or what his purpose was, he had only one thought in his mind at that moment:
Settle grievances with grievances, and avenge grudges with grudges!
He wasn't going to let this go so easily, having been used as a pawn by the Primordial Witch!
Having gained unprecedented power, Lu Xingchen almost immediately tore through space and charged towards the place beyond the starry sky where the primordial witch Qike was hiding.
A massive battle, or rather a one-sided beating, ensued.
Half of the power of the past is simply too much.
Even the Primordial Witch, a true god-level being, was powerless against Lu Xingchen's frenzied retaliation after losing her home-field advantage and having just experienced a great battle and suffered serious injuries.
Her charm and abilities, which she was so proud of, were almost rendered useless in the face of absolute power.
Soon, Lu Xingchen used that chaotic power to temporarily seal most of the Primordial Witch's divine power, leaving her only able to dodge in a sorry state. In the end, she was still caught by Lu Xingchen and received his "deep love and strict discipline" kind of discipline.
(Several scenes unsuitable for children, filled with violent aesthetics and philosophical reflections are omitted here...)
After several "in-depth exchanges" and "ideological education," the borrowed Chaos Sea power within Lu Xingchen, which did not belong to him, began to gradually dissipate.
The power of half the old days was far too heavy a burden for his soul and body.
When his power was completely exhausted, Lu Xingchen's body disintegrated inch by inch in the starry sky, and his soul was like a candle flickering in the wind, about to be extinguished.
The last thing he saw was Adam's blurry yet meaningful smile, and in the distance, a cold and scrutinizing gaze seemed to be cast upon him from the Source Castle.
"Holy crap... Could it be that Mr. Fool is here to...?"
This was Lu Xingchen's last thought before he lost consciousness.
Then, he "died" completely in that cold and vast starry sky.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself transformed into a newborn baby, abandoned in a trash can in Tianhai City, Douluo Continent, until he was discovered by Lieutenant Cocolia and taken to this orphanage.
……
"I wonder how Audrey and the others are doing? Oh well, with the all-powerful Mr. Fool around, they should be doing quite well. Klein, even though he's become a god, is still a good person at heart, he should be taking good care of them."
"Well, the generous Mr. Fool certainly won't hold a grudge against Audrey and the others just because I 'slept' with his sister Melissa." He nodded vigorously, as if trying to convince himself.
"Speaking of which, although Melissa's personality is somewhat conservative, once she lets loose, her raw waist skills are really... tsk tsk."
Lu Xingchen's face involuntarily flushed, and some embarrassing moments flashed through her mind.
He quickly shook his head, as if trying to shake off some terrible thought. "No, no, I can't think about it anymore! If I keep thinking about it, Mr. Fool might really cross the world barrier and come beat up this little kid!"
"Right now, let's think about the future. We've already transmigrated to the Douluo Continent, so we have to do something. It's best to imagine how we'll play our part. This time, unlike in my last life, we won't just swallow the magic potion without any preparation."
Lu Xingchen slowly raised his right hand, and a peculiar aura quietly emerged from the tip of his fair little finger.
That aura was not colorless, yet it could not be described with any known vocabulary—it was as if all the colors in the world had been crushed together: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple…
Even more unnamed hues intertwine, flow, and change within it, presenting a completely new form every second, as if containing infinite possibilities and the origin of chaos.
This is the ability that Lu Xingchen inexplicably possessed after transmigrating to the Douluo Continent: the Chaos Sea, one of the nine Origin Essences! It is also one of the essential conditions for achieving the status of the Ancient: God.
As for why the Chaos Sea would reside in his body...
Lu Xingchen didn't want to delve into this matter; after all, he was just a nobody, and thinking about it too much wouldn't make a difference.
In addition to the Chaos Sea, the extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness of the five major pathways of God are also stored within the Chaos Sea.
This year, Lu Xingchen is only five years old, but on the day he was born in Douluo Continent, he swallowed the "spectator" pathway potion and became a Sequence Nine: spectator.
It wasn't that he didn't want to choose other paths; it was mainly because he was most familiar with the audience approach, and due to some personal factors, he chose to become an "audience member."
The potion system is easy to distinguish, from low to high: Sequence 9, Sequence 8... up to the highest Sequence 0: True God, a total of ten levels.
Each advancement requires consuming a higher-level potion, and the only way to digest the potion is to "play"—to play the role corresponding to the potion's name, thereby gaining the approval of others to neutralize the potion's madness and loss of control, and ultimately to completely digest and absorb it.
For example, the "Diviner" in Sequence Nine needs to play the role of a fortune teller who can predict the future and interpret fate, and win the trust of others with accurate predictions;
The "Thief" of Sequence Nine must operate in the shadows, using skillful methods to steal from their targets, becoming a "hidden thief" in the eyes of others.
Lu Xingchen's current identity is Sequence Nine of the Audience Path: Audience. As the name suggests, the core of his role is to become an absolutely neutral and rational bystander.
As an "audience member," one must understand that one is merely an "audience member," not an "actor." One can stand below the stage and watch, but must never be swayed by the emotions of the actors on stage.
To give an example, imagine two women fighting in front of Lu Xingchen. They are very emotional and tearing at each other's clothes, revealing a very attractive scene.
At this point, what should the real "audience" do?
The answer is: Do nothing.
I stood quietly to the side, observing their expressions, actions, and tone of voice with icy rationality, analyzing the reasons for their argument, their hidden emotions, and even predicting their next move.
But never project your own emotions onto the performance; do not feel sympathy, anger, desire, or any other emotion. It's like watching a play that has nothing to do with you; the actors' joys and sorrows are irrelevant to the audience.
Simply put, it means being an absolutely rational observer.
Similarly, early promotion through the audience channel is relatively easy. Even though Lu Xingchen is just a child, he can easily play the role successfully.
