Dimensional Journey Starting from Douluo Dalu

Chapter 29: Chapter 29: The Cheat Ability and Another Cheat



While Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were enjoying their wholesome grandfather-granddaughter moment at the wooden cabin…

On the other side.

Beneath the cliff.

Plop—Plop—

The white glowing sphere that had been wildly devouring the energy of heaven and earth began to pulse like a beating heart, as though it had finally absorbed enough.

The sphere flickered rhythmically—bright, then dim. Inside it, Wu Tong's brain mirrored the pulsing light.

Originally indistinguishable from an ordinary human brain, it began to turn transparent under the influence of the white light. Gradually, it took on a jade-like texture.

As Wu Tong absorbed the immense energy within the light sphere, his brain underwent a full transformation—ultimately resembling a flawless piece of jade, carved by nature itself.

Once the transformation was complete, the sphere shattered into countless particles of light and dispersed into the air.

In the boundless void—the cradle of endless worlds—innumerable realms drifted like duckweed, constantly forming and collapsing. Worlds collided, merged, and broke apart in an unending cycle of creation and destruction.

Within one such vast sand-grain-sized world, a long-haired man in a simple robe gently sowed a seed into the earth.

A drop of divine dew descended from the sky, as if anticipating his action.

The seed absorbed the dew, sprouted instantly, broke through the soil, and in the blink of an eye grew into a bodhi tree.

The man gazed at the tree's growth, his expression peaceful. Suddenly, as though sensing something, he smiled faintly—part expectant, part approving...

When Wu Tong opened his eyes again, he could feel his brain had fundamentally changed.

His memory had become astonishingly sharp. His comprehension abilities had skyrocketed. Inspiration surged like a spring, and his processing power was now as orderly and efficient as a quantum computer.

Yet despite all that, Wu Tong didn't rejoice. Instead, he wore a complicated expression.

With the white light's integration came the return of some memories he had forgotten.

It turned out he did have a cheat ability.

His cheat was the very genius-level comprehension talent he had long dreamed of.

As someone personally sent off by the Truck Emperor, he did start with resources. But maybe the Truck Emperor had been in a hurry to clock out—he hit too hard and broke the cheat.

Originally, the heaven-defying comprehension ability was a sort of data archive. What people call "comprehension" was just retrieving info from this vast database.

But after the crash, all data had been lost during the passage between worlds. Only the foundation remained: the "Path of Wisdom."

Even that Path of Wisdom, after suffering erosion from the void, began degrading—eventually becoming a mere Law of Wisdom.

"Life really is full of surprises," Wu Tong sighed. "No wonder I immediately thought of supreme comprehension when I saw the brain. I wanted to use the Douluo cultivation system to repair it… Turns out it was my own obsession. Even the nine soul skills I planned were unconsciously influenced by this broken cheat."

Looking back at what could've been a god-tier start turned into this clumsy situation, Wu Tong could only shake his head in frustration.

"Turns out all those heaven-defying comprehension talents were just libraries in disguise… No wonder those other transmigrators create techniques as easily as breathing. I've really lost something priceless."

He couldn't help but envy his fellow transmigrators—those who immediately gained peerless techniques the moment they crossed over. Who wouldn't want unearned power?

If given the choice between building a business or inheriting wealth, Wu Tong would choose the latter without hesitation. Hesitating even one second would be disrespectful to the wealth.

And considering how those archives had supported other transmigrators to transcend entire worlds, the sheer scale of data inside must've been astronomical—practically infinite.

To go from a perfectly functioning "Heaven-Defying Comprehension Archive" to a mere "Law of Wisdom"...

That drop in quality was truly too cruel.

In fact, even the Law of Wisdom that Wu Tong originally possessed wouldn't have awakened so soon if not for the illumination from the Enlightenment Bodhi Flower. Without that stimulation, he might've had to wait until he reached the rank of Titled Douluo and rebuilt most of the functionality before it could activate.

"But it's fine," Wu Tong comforted himself. "Even though all the knowledge is gone, the most important thing—the Law of Wisdom—remains. Now that it has fully fused with my martial soul, the evolved martial soul has preserved the functions of the Law of Wisdom perfectly."

Feeling the power of his transformed brain, Wu Tong finally found some peace of mind.

"A martial soul after its second awakening... I'll call it 'Brain of Wisdom.' Since it has fused completely with the Law of Wisdom, there's no better name."

"Next, I'll begin reconstructing the genius comprehension archive. Then, I'll follow the plan and acquire suitable soul skills. Once I reach the Titled Douluo stage, I'll finally be able to assemble all the functional components I need."

Feeling the flood of new data in his mind, Wu Tong cheered himself on.

This rebuilt heaven-defying comprehension ability was no longer just an empty shell. It was now centered around his martial soul and integrated with a variety of functional components. It had truly become a super cheat system—capable of collecting data, organizing information, planning cultivation paths, deducing techniques, and even creating entirely new knowledge.

As long as he could complete its construction, Wu Tong would be able to gather knowledge, deduce new information from it, and then use those new insights to reach even higher levels of understanding.

He could keep feeding and upgrading the cheat, using the stronger version to gain even more knowledge—like a snowball growing bigger as it rolls, eventually spiraling all the way to the heavens, step by step.

Just as Wu Tong was immersed in imagining his bright future, a cold mechanical voice echoed in his mind.

[Ding~ A person of great fortune has been detected. Origin: Progenitor Star Transmigrator… Conditions met… Would you like to join the Dimensional Chat Group?]

Hearing this, Wu Tong froze.

'Aren't I in a genius comprehension story? Why is there a chat group now?'

A blue panel appeared in front of him with two choices: "Yes" or… "Yes?"

"So basically, you never planned on letting me say no," Wu Tong grumbled.

To Wu Tong, this setup was all too familiar. Whether it was the panel or the so-called Dimensional Chat Group mentioned in his mind—he'd read about them in novels before.

A chat group connecting countless worlds, where you could meet people across space and time—even those you'd thought were unreachable.

"Of course I'm agreeing. I already missed out on one cheat. If I let this one slip, I'd be a real idiot. Who would choose hard work over free power?"

Wu Tong didn't hesitate. He focused his mind on the word "Yes" and clicked.

Once he joined the group, he'd gain access to a more diverse range of knowledge. Although he could use knowledge to deduce new knowledge on his own, that process could take countless years.

Now he could fast-track it by gathering data directly from other worlds. Not accepting this opportunity would be outright foolish.
