Chapter 1 Reincarnated as the old patriarch of the Xiao family
Xiao Lin traveled through time.
Whether it is because he caught the tail of the crossing tide or for some other reason, it makes no difference to Xiao Lin.
Anyway, the result is already determined. The only thing that makes him feel a little regretful is that he didn't spend all the money in his previous life.
The person died and the money was not spent.
Of course, there is no use regretting at this time.
Things in that world have nothing to do with him now.
The issue he needs to be concerned about now is the current situation of his body.
This is a very important question. Since the coffin he was lying in was not completely sealed, Xiao Lin could occasionally hear the voices of people outside.
From the conversations between those people, he was able to deduce his current identity.
It seems to be the old patriarch of a family who died.
The people speaking outside the coffin in the past few days seemed to be some family members with low status. From what they said, they meant that after the death of the old patriarch, great changes had taken place in the family.
This group of people seemed to be transporting the coffin of the old patriarch back to his ancestral home for burial, but in fact they were driven out from the place where they previously lived.
And their lives were not easy during this period.
A group of clan members left the large army and chose to go to their own independent clan. Although the new clan leader was not too young, he rarely paid attention to the family affairs. Now that he was appointed to take up the position of clan leader at the critical moment, he still seemed a bit immature in handling things.
And I don’t know what strong person has been harassing the team returning home. On the way from the capital to their ancestral land, many tribesmen have been injured or even died on the road.
Although Xiao Lin had nothing to do with these people theoretically, he still couldn't help but feel some sympathy.
We are all struggling to make a living, and it is not easy for anyone.
And at this time, he couldn't do anything else except sympathize.
[It is detected that the host is experiencing emotional fluctuations. It is determined that the other party has a thin blood connection with the host, and the system is unlocked. 】
Hearing the mechanical sound, Xiao Lin suddenly became excited.
The plug-in finally arrived, and it was worthy of his insistence on waiting for so long.
"system?"
【Unlocking, please wait.】
Oh boy, there's still buffering.
But after waiting for so long, he could still do it if he waited a little longer.
The system's efficiency was quite high, and not long after, a system prompt rang in his mind.
[The system update is completed and is adapting to the current world...]
【Adaptation completed.】
[Host detection in progress...]
【Testing completed.】
[Current host: Xiao Lin]
[Current world: Fighting Continent]
[Host strength test completed.]
[Strength realm: Dou Ling (nine-star peak)]
[Soul Strength: Mid-Mortal Realm]
[It is detected that the host soul and body do not fit together. Do you want to fuse? 】
Xiao Lin did not make a choice immediately.
He just sighed in his heart because he already knew who he was.
He had read the novel Doupo, and he had more or less impressions of all the characters that appeared in it.
This "senior" with the same name as himself is obviously the old patriarch of the Xiao family who occupies no more than a hundred words in the original plot.
The reason why the Xiao family once had a place in the Jia Ma Empire was because the old patriarch had reached the peak of spirit fighting.
When the original novel opens, the Xiao family has been in Wutan City for many years, and there is no explanation of what happened before, so this issue has always been a mystery.
Since it is a mystery, there must be a way to solve it, and my arrival now may very well be the moment to reveal the answer to this question.
Perhaps sensing Xiao Lin's silence, the system prompt popped up again.
【Do you want to perform spiritual body fusion? 】
Xiao Lin chose OK with his mind. Now he has no other choice at all. Even if he has the system, it is just a soul. It is very inconvenient to have no body.
Instead of waiting for so many years to get a body like Yao Chen, wouldn't he be much luckier?
The process of spiritual body fusion was not as difficult as imagined. I don't know what the system did, but it didn't take long for Xiao Lin to feel the feedback from this body.
Although the original owner has been dead for a long time, there is still some fighting spirit left in this body. With Xiao Lin's thoughts, the remaining fighting spirit starts to flow along the meridians.
The feeling of power flowing through the limbs is indeed very comfortable.
But out of caution, he did not act rashly.
He even actively asked the system to help cover up his aura.
In a place like Dou Qi Continent, resurrection from the dead is not a rare thing.
After a person dies, the soul can exist alone, and can even refine the body again and be reborn. It is not strange for a person to be resurrected from the dead.
Especially for powerful people, the state of suspended animation can even last for a long time.
But the original Xiao Lin did not meet the above conditions.
His strength is just that of a spirit warrior, which is pretty good in a place like the Jia Ma Empire, but he is far from capable of faking his own death.
As for the powerful soul power...the original owner didn't have any strong soul power at all.
So after much thought, Xiao Lin decided not to move for the time being.
Anyway, the Xiao family's team is already approaching Wutan City, and according to the plot Xiao Lin knows, they can return to Wutan City smoothly.
After he felt confident, he calmly turned his attention back to the system.
"System, open the main panel."
Xiao Lin closed his eyes and followed the prompts given by the system to immerse himself in the sea of energy in his Dantian.
The first thing that caught the eye was a bucket crystal that was emitting warm light in the dark space. The nine spikes on it were trembling like tentacles, as if they were about to collapse.
This is the symbol of Xiao Lin's fighting spirit's peak strength. When this thing completely dissipates from his Qi sea and merges into his body, he will become a fighting king.
Xiao Lin's consciousness glanced at it without stopping, and then turned to the curved light screen suspended above Dou Jing.
This location is the very center of Xiao Lin's dantian Qi sea. It is normal for the system to choose to override this place.
There are many mysterious patterns engraved on the curved screen, which look ancient and obscure. At the top, the words "Family Guardian System" are engraved, which is probably the name of the system.
The list below is also very straightforward. There are two options in total, family on the left and guardian on the right.
Xiao Lin clicked on the family interface, and the first thing he saw was a dense network, with his name at the center, and most of the names were already gray.
Is this thing... the family tree of the Xiao family?!
…
(New book is on the way, please support me.)
[About the protagonist: Dou Ling in the initial realm, this is because the original work does not write whether it is a Dou Wang or a Dou Ling, so I made an inference.
After all, if he is the Dou Wang, the Xiao family cannot be so miserable. A Dou Wang can at least create a big family in the Jiama Empire. Referring to the Mo family, the head of the Mo family is only a peak Dou Ling. If Xiao Lin is a Dou Ling
Wang: The Xiao family's chronology is too powerful. It doesn't make sense that a family that fights kings only has one copy of its best martial art, which is only at the intermediate level of Xuan level.
Therefore, setting the peak of fighting spirit and adding the death of the Xiao family can explain the decline of the Xiao family more reasonably.
