Douluo Dalu (Soul Land): A Relived Fate
Prologue: From a Time That Passed

There was a gentle silence, as there was only the sound of wind from a place that is lost in time.

For this place was a tunnel, filled with blue space, and various items of the eras, ranging from a old bronze shield, to a modern book, to a broken marble pilliar. And there was a humanoid being who was within the area, as they was being pulled across it, as they were on their back.

The being was barely recognisable, being in the form of a mere human-shaped blue wisp, and having only two white soulless circles where its eyes are, although the face and body remained the same.

The ghost-like entity seemed to look like as if it was close to falling unconscious, as its eyes were fluttering gently, and there was no movement from it. But the being was not silent, as there were many thoughts racing through its mind. But one in particular rang through its head like a loud bell clanging against itself.

'Why…. Tang San…. Xiao Wu…. Why did you have to leave me?'

The being only slowly kept its eyes shut, as it recalled the events that led up to now, although all he could muster were voices.

'Wuling….' A feminine soft voice rang out, filled with sorrow and fear.

'Quick, use all of your power to keep the border together! This is the dynamic shift of the power of space!' A deep, yet young voice rang out.

'My son…..' The same feminine voice rang out.

'This isn't good…. We don't have long before this realm collapses entirely!' His voice from the past said.

'I guess this is it, huh….?' A friendly, and quiet male voice said.

'Goddamnit… Even after all of that, we still are going to end up disappearing to somewhere.. Maybe even die….' His past voice spoke again. 'Unless…. Wait, Time God, is it possible for you to create a portal back in time?'

'I can, but considering current matters, I cannot be sure what may happen. Fate God. But I have trust that I can succeed.'

'Then how about a few days before? What is the current status of the fabric of time?'

'It's fine, despite what is happening to the fabric of space. Consider ourselves lucky.'

'Lucky…? Hahaha…. No, this is EXCELLENT! That means that there is a chance to undo this. I can go back and stop this from happening! That means no more God Realm imploding on itself, and possibly killing us, and no more Destruction God going insane just because he's paranoid!' The Fate God chuckled

'….It won't matter.' A deep gruff voice said. 'Even if you went back to the past, you won't be able to persuade me. I will still-'

'NO! I won't give up! Even if you were the voice who screwed this all up, I can still salvage this situation, Destruction God!' The Fate God's voice said in a determined tone. 'We can still fix all of this. Damn the Dragon God, we can go back and make sure that this never happens again!'

'Fate God, what nonsense are you spouting!?' The Time God's voice rebuked him. 'Do you know what you're saying!? Who knows what changing this might cause!? It could lead to something worse that we haven't thought of, or it could lead to this happening earlier-'

'BUT WE HAVE NO CHOICE! LOOK AROUND YOU, TIME GOD! THERE WILL BE NO 'KNOWING' IF WE DON'T ACT NOW!' The Fate God roared. 'WE COULD ALL ACTUALLY DIE FOR THE LAST TIME FOR ALL WE 'KNOW'! I WON'T LET US ALL JUST DIE BECAUSE SOME SPACIAL PARADOX CAME AND WIPED US FROM THE CELSTIAL MAP! NO! I WON'T LET YOU ALL DIE, EVEN IF IT MEANS I HAVE TO DIE MYSELF IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE OF THAT!'

'…Alright. I'll open it up, with all the power I got. I had a feeling that we're going to die anyway, so I may as well give it one last effort to save ourselves. However, I can only transfer three people at most, not to mention erasing the past selves to accommodate the new arrivals…. No more, otherwise the time portal will collapse and erase everyone in it from every era completely. '

'Bless you, Time God… And I'm sorry that you're going to end up here, while I and someone else goes.'

'It doesn't matter. If there really is a chance to stop all of this, then I'm willing to bet it on you, friend.'

There is a loud rumbling, as it elicits various responses from different voices, so many that the Fate God couldn't distinguish which person said what.

'Oh Gods, the border is about to collapse… Think, Fate God, think….' The Fate God mumbled in a panicked tone. 'There has to be someone that can help us…. Goodness Goddess and Evilness God? No, the two of them won't be able to do anything….. War God and Speed Goddess? These two might be able to help me fight off Destruction God, but it won't matter if he destroys the realm's Spirit core, making it once again a zero-sum game…. Life Goddess and Destruction God….? No, Destruction God might end up repeating all of this, and maybe this time, the Dragon God might not be so loose in influencing him, by wiping his memories and controlling him directly. Tang San and Xiao Wu….? Yes! These two will work! Not only they know how to re-persuade Destruction God, while keeping Dragon God out of the loop, they can also ensure that Destruction God will be pacified long enough for the danger to pass, if the former doesn't work!'

There is the sound of footsteps.

'Tang San! Xiao Wu! The Time God got us a way to prevent all of this! We can get back to the past and ensure the Destruction God won't cause this again!' The Fate God said.

'What!?" The voices of the first two people to speak responded simultaneously.

'I'm not joking, we actually got a chance! We're saved, I tell you, saved!'

'Fate God, surely you can't be possibly abandoning the other gods, right?" Tang San replied. 'I will not stand for this.'

'But you don't understand, Tang San and Xiao Wu! It hurts me more than it will for either of you, but it's a better solution than dying here! We don't have to let ourselves do a futile struggle, we can save the others by changing the past! Please!' The Fate God pleaded to the godly couple. 'For the sake of everyone, lend me your hands just this once to save us all!'

There was only silence, before Xiao Wu spoke up.

'If it'll ensure that we can live to care for Wuling, then I will at least try.' She said gracefully.

'Thank you, oh gods, we can do this, I know it!'

There is another set of footsteps.

'You first, Tang San, and Xiao Wu.' The Fate God said joyfully. 'Thank you for trusting me. I promise that we'll succeed. If we don't, then I'll accept destruction and death the next time this thing comes around, alright?'

'I see. Then we'll leave. But just before I say one thing, before we separate.'

'Yes? Anything for the ones who saved me from the greatest depths of despair.' The Fate God said. 'It's all thanks to you that I was able to regain my mind and spirit, and become the First-Rank God I used to be, as well being a candidate for the Supreme God Council. So, I'll say mines first. I will always be your friend, even if I can only vaguely remember you. And the memories I had with the others will remain forever That's all I have to say.'

'Well, you don't have to be that thankful of us. We just did what's right.' Xiao Wu giggled.

'Then it's my turn to speak.' Tang San said, before he then paused for a moment, and then spoke in a sorrowful tone. 'I'm sorry. For what will happen next.'

'Eh? Tang San, what do you mean by-' The Fate God tried to say, before there was a loud 'pomf', as he began to gag, and fell on his knees, indicated by the soft pat of them falling to the ground. 'What… What… are you… doing!?'

'I'm sorry, Liu Shun, but this is where we part ways forever.' Tang San spoke, still sad.

'Wait… Xiao Yu… What are you….'

'Tell Wuling that we'll always love him.' Xiao Wu said in a caring tone. 'And on my part, you really were a real shining star, Liu Shun. Always thinking the best for everyone, because we taught you that several thousand years ago.'

'Wuling….? Don't… tell me….?'

'Time God, can you change the destination of the portal, to the future, where Wuling is, right at the youngest you can send him?' Tang San asked his fellow colleague.

'….Let me check…. Yes, I can, but it's a jump off about 100 years, and the time-fabric is finally beginning to deteriorate. Maybe that tremor back then, caused the time-fabric to begin to collapse. If you want to go, hurry.' The Time God answered. 'I cannot guarantee that I'll succeed.'

'Then just send Liu Shun. He should be sufficient to nurture Wuling, in our absence.'

'Tang… San… Xiao… Wu… No…. Don't go….' The Fate God spoke, as he tried to prevent himself from sobbing. 'Wuling… doesn't want you to die…. Think… about him…'

'Sorry, but you know how stubborn we are about these things…' Tang San spoke in a apologetic tone.

'…We're just too hard-headed to think about anything else!' Xiao Wu finished off, with a small giggle at the end.

'No….. No… NO! DON'T GO… PLEASE! NO! ANYTHING BUT THIS!' The Fate God shouted with anguish and emotional pain.

'Sorry, Liu Shun, but like I said. This is goodbye.' Tang San said.

There was the sound of the Fate God being thrown into the portal.

The Fate God kept floating in the timeless void, as a single ethereal tear appeared on his cheek.

'Fate... really is cruel. And I was the one to suffer for its pain….' He spoke silently to himself.

Suddenly the area began to tremble, as the wispy Fate God only paled.

'No… Not now… Please don't break! For the love of all of Douluos, don't break now! I can't fail now, not with everyone now gone!' The Fate God roared.

Suddenly the tunnel rumbled with such force, that the Fate God was suddenly shaken away from his path, as he suddenly falls from where he was floating, and down the blue space, as it began to grow darker and darker as he fell through the time tunnel.

'No…. No…. NOOOOO!' The Fate God cried out in utter despair, as he watched the tunnel leave his vision, further and further, until it was a hair-thin line of blue light in front of it.

He then looked around, and cried again.

'I guess… This is the end for me…. I'm going to die, forgotten and alone. And everyone is dead. At least I'll join them in whatever dead void they may be….' The Fate God thought.

And just after his last thoughts, he thought no more, and fell into a dark slumber.

When the Fate God came back to being conscious, something he did not expect, he opened his eyes, and found that he was lying in a dark forest, as there was the sound of various beasts and animals ringing across the dark area.

He soon sat up, and looked around.

"Where..." The Fate God said... "Where am I?"

DOULUO DALU: A RELIVED FATE

A/N: Heya, everyone, Xovercreator here again. This time, I have created a new story, that has popped into my mind. Be wary though, only people who REALLY love manga and manhua, or are good Chinese readers will know the fandom this is set in. This is... Douluo Dalu, or known in English dub circles, Soul Land.

Basically, the summary of this story is more of a OC-insert in the canon storyline, except be expecting some events to change, whether they are minor or major. As hinted from the passage, the OC's quite a strong god, but does it remain that way? That's for you to find out.

The Prologue flashback is set within the second-last chapter of the third Douluo Dalu light novel, Douluo Dalu: Legend of the Divine Realm. To summarise it, it basically has every single god in the God Realm, plus MCs Tang San and Xiao Yun, trying to stop the realm from collapsing from a temporal paradox that resulted from a series of event that are preceded in the novel, and will not explained due to me being a little too lazy to write down everything that happened before the chapter, and them failing, as they end up being either erased from existence with the realm, or the paradox seperating the realm from the known reality, making their locations unknown.

The story will span through the arcs of Douluo Dalu and Douluo Dalu II and finally, Douluo Dalu 2.5: Legend of the Divine Realm, with reasonable changes from the extra person in the story. Be expecting a lot of dialogue and battle, because you're going to get lots and lots due to the nature of the original story.

Anyway, I will be awaiting for any criticisms and reviews that may come, and I welcome them all, even the ones that make me sound like a idiot.

See you all in the next chapter!

Xovercreator.
