The morning sun rose over the Duke's mansion, spilling golden light across the courtyard. Birds fluttered in the ancient white trees, and soft laughter echoed — the laughter of two boys.
Huo Yuhao chased butterflies, while beside him stood Huo Tian, calm and silent, eyes gleaming with hidden depth. To others, he was the gentler twin — composed, brilliant, but ordinary. Only he knew that within him lay power that could rival gods.

The Daily Check-In
When Yuhao ran ahead, Huo Tian sat beneath a tree and closed his eyes.
> [Ding! Daily Check-In Successful.]
[Reward: Chaos Spirit Pool (Fragment) — can evolve any cultivation technique to Chaos Grade.]
He exhaled softly. Another heaven-defying reward.
The system's voice continued:
> [Bonus unlocked: Host's first cultivation method will automatically reach Divine Realm grade.]
A shimmering blue panel appeared in his mind, forming a luminous sphere of chaotic mist. It pulsed gently, spreading a warm, endless aura.
He smiled faintly. Time to begin.
He gathered his soul power — or what little of it a child's body could handle. But the moment he connected to his soul sea, the three martial souls within reacted.
The Divine White Flying Tiger roared softly, its wings resonating with the rhythm of time.
The Spirit Life Origin Body emitted endless vitality, purifying every drop of energy.
The Chaos Divine Sword floated in silence, but every vibration carried destruction beyond imagination.
Their presence intertwined, creating a balance of time, life, and chaos — the trinity of existence.
> [System Notification: Triple Martial Soul Resonance achieved. Cultivation efficiency +10,000%.]
Even with this, Huo Tian restrained himself. He could not reveal his power yet. The world wasn't ready — not Shrek, not Tang San's hidden will, not even the gods above.

Hidden Training
That night, when Yuhao slept, Huo Tian crept to the courtyard and sat beneath the moon. The stars shimmered, and spirit energy danced around him like fireflies.
He activated the Chaos Spirit Pool, and the energy of heaven and earth surged toward him. His cultivation instantly stabilized at Soul Scholar Rank 10, but to all detection, he remained Rank 1.
> [Camouflage Function Active — All readings suppressed to normal human level.]
He grinned. Perfect.
From his first martial soul, he drew out a faint silver claw — it shimmered with the flow of time. With one swipe, the air rippled like water.
So this is temporal manipulation… at my first rank.
The world slowed around him for a heartbeat. In that suspended second, Huo Tian realized something profound — this world's laws were weaker than the Chaos Energy within him. If he wanted, he could rewrite reality itself.
But he clenched his fist and stopped. No… Not yet. The system gave me this world for a reason. I must let it grow, let Yuhao grow. Only then can I ascend beyond it.

Brother's Bond
The next morning, Yuhao ran to him, holding a half-broken wooden stick.
"Tian-ge! Look, I made a sword!"
Huo Tian laughed gently, taking it in his hand. "A sword, huh? Then let's make it real."
He whispered a thread of spiritual power into the stick — just a flicker of life attribute. The wood glowed faintly, turning hard as steel for a moment. Yuhao gasped.
"Waa! You're amazing!"
"Remember, Yuhao," Huo Tian said, kneeling to meet his eyes. "Power isn't about shining the brightest. It's about protecting those you love."
Yuhao nodded seriously, and in that instant, Huo Tian felt it — a faint thread of fate energy connecting their souls.
> [System Alert: Fate Link Established — Target: Huo Yuhao]
[New Passive Quest: Alter the Destiny of the White Tiger Twins.]
He smiled softly. So, the system itself wants me to save him… and maybe this world too.

The First Step
That night, when everyone slept, the stars seemed to whisper. Huo Tian stood at the edge of the estate, looking toward the distant Shrek direction.
He could sense powerful energies stirring in the future — gods, beasts, and destiny chains woven by Tang San himself.
But he was not afraid.
> [Ding! Hidden Achievement Unlocked — Chaos Will of the Douluo.]
[Reward: Chaos Physique (Initial Awakening) — Converts mortal body into divine vessel.]
His veins shimmered faintly beneath his skin. The energy flowed like liquid light.
He looked at his hand — mortal in appearance, yet every atom hummed with divine resonance.
This is just the beginning.

Under the same moon, Huo Yuhao dreamed of becoming strong enough to protect his brother.
And beside him, Huo Tian vowed to destroy the fate that once destroyed them both.
From this night onward, a storm of Chaos would begin to rise over Douluo Dalu.
