Douluo: Two brothers in douluo

With a blink of his eyes, Lin Fan—no, Dai Mubai—found himself back in the glowing white space, standing before the golden deity once again.

Everything was still shrouded in that same endless whiteness.

Lin Fan scratched his head, somewhat puzzled. Did his good brother Li Si already run into another dilemma?

Didn't he just get the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record? Shouldn't he be diligently cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill right now? What's going on this time?

"Hello, God," Lin Fan greeted politely.

The god froze for a moment, caught off guard by Lin Fan's proactive greeting. Instinctively, He replied,

"Hello, Lin Fan."

Clearly, the deity wasn't used to mortals casually saying hello to Him.

"Your good brother Li Si is currently at the Nuoding Soul Master Academy. He has encountered a dilemma and needs your help to make a decision."

Hearing this, Lin Fan's eyes widened in disbelief.

Wait a second. Didn't Li Si just obtain the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record a few days ago?

How has he already skipped ahead to his Martial Spirit Awakening and reached the Nuoding Soul Master Academy?

"Hold on. Something doesn't add up. If my memory serves me correctly, I've already been in this Douluo Continent for over 15 years now."

Only then did Lin Fan realize that when he regained his memories, he was already 15 years old.

God nodded lightly and spoke softly,

"It seems you understand now. The flow of time between your Douluo Continent and Li Si's Douluo Continent is not synchronized."

"You mean to tell me that while more than ten years have passed in my world, only a year or two has gone by in Li Si's world?"

Lin Fan asked curiously.

If that was the case, then by the time he ascended to godhood, Li Si might still be playing house with Xiao Wu at the Nuoding Academy.

The thought alone made Lin Fan grin.

"That's not entirely correct. The passage of time in both your worlds fluctuates. Sometimes it moves faster, sometimes slower," God explained patiently.

"In one instance, you might return, and only a single second has passed in Li Si's world. In another, an entire lifetime might've gone by…"

"The same applies to you as well, Lin Fan."

Lin Fan nodded thoughtfully, the corners of his lips curling upward.

Now he was sure—the Douluo Continent he was in and the one Li Si inhabited were two entirely separate dimensions.

The Tang San he met was not Li Si!

"Now that you've got your answers, Lin Fan, your good brother is still waiting for you to make a choice!"

God waved His hand, and on the glowing screen appeared a boy and a middle-aged man with a flat-top haircut—Yu Xiaogang.

Once Lin Fan understood the context, God continued,

"Press the button on the left, and your good brother Li Si will take Yu Xiaogang as his teacher. His Blue Silver Grass martial spirit will obtain a 400-year Mandala Snake spirit ring. At the same time, he will gain the favor of the so-called 'Grandmaster.'

Press the button on the right, and your good brother Li Si will not take Yu Xiaogang as his teacher. His Blue Silver Grass martial spirit will receive a 400-year Nine-Hearted Begonia spirit ring, officially stepping into the world of Support and Food-type Soul Masters. However, he will earn Yu Xiaogang's disdain."

Staring at the two options and the scene playing out on the screen, Lin Fan fell silent.

Wasn't Li Si's innate spirit power only level one?

How did he end up catching Yu Xiaogang's attention and even getting recruited as his disciple?

Why would Yu Xiaogang claim he had innate full spirit power?

Lin Fan's head was full of questions, but the god showed no intention of explaining further.

After a moment of silence, Lin Fan finally spoke up.

"My good brother Li Si has always loved chewing on leaves or grass roots. He has a special fondness for that sort of thing!"

"In this life, he's transmigrated as Tang San. Think about how poor Tang San was at the start—completely different from me. I'm a prince! Even if I'm not favored, I never have to worry about food or clothing."

"But Li Si is different. Tang Hao spends every coin on alcohol. They can't even afford proper meals, and who knows what kind of miserable life lies ahead."

"If, during his hunts for spirit beasts, or when traveling through the wild without enough food supplies, he starves to death… that would be tragic, wouldn't it?"

"For the sake of my good brother's future, I think becoming a Food-type Soul Master is the best option."

"As a Food-type Soul Master, at the very least, he won't go hungry. Sure, his martial spirit is Blue Silver Grass, so maybe it won't taste great. But he can always pack some seasoning in a storage soul tool!"

"Add some flavoring, and it shouldn't taste that bad!"

Hearing this, even the god—who claimed to have no emotions—couldn't help but widen His eyes.

Shameless. This is utterly shameless!

What kind of person makes their good brother resort to eating grass?

And adding seasoning? Couldn't he just pack more food?

After regaining His composure, the god spoke expressionlessly,

"So, your choice is…?"

Just then, a voice rang out from the void within the glowing screen. A voice filled with rage and desperation.

"You bastard! I'd rather eat grass than take Yu Xiaogang as my master!"

Lin Fan: "…"

God: "…"

"Did you hear something just now?" Lin Fan asked with a confused expression.

"Your good brother Li Si shattered the flow of time and space in the future just to tell you that one sentence," God explained calmly. "Of course, he spoke those words during this moment in his Douluo Continent, but he doesn't yet have the strength to cross dimensions and contact you directly."

"So, after all your talk, you're choosing the left button," God added, His tone as indifferent as ever, as though nothing had happened.

He paused briefly and continued,

"You intend for Li Si to follow the original storyline, where he will eventually become the Sea God and the Asura God, correct?"

Lin Fan fell silent. That was true. Uncharted paths and unknown options were too risky for Li Si.

After all, Li Si had transmigrated as the protagonist, Tang San. As long as he didn't court death, following the plot would inevitably lead to becoming one of the strongest in the Douluo Continent—a god in the Divine Realm.

Lin Fan was about to say something, but God raised His hand dismissively.

"No need to answer."

"To think Li Si managed to uncover yet another bug. I'll need to record this and prevent it from happening again in the future. I suppose I'll give him a reward next time."

As He muttered to Himself, He turned back to Lin Fan and asked,

"So, with Li Si's warning from the future, what will you choose, Lin Fan?"

Lin Fan took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.

If Li Si could shatter the flow of time to send that message, it meant Lin Fan's decisions had been correct.

But if he chose the unknown path now… would that future version of Li Si disappear?

It was a paradox that gave Lin Fan pause.

"Believe in him. He's Li Si, your good brother!"

Lin Fan reassured himself.

"Fine! If you're so eager to eat Blue Silver Grass, you'd better bring plenty of seasoning!"

With that, Lin Fan pressed the button on the right…
