In the white hall, Xue Tie, the figure in bits of pale red and black is standing before an altar with a circular slot in it. He has just spent an unknown amount of time living through the memories of others and this includes worlds unrelated to Douluo Dalu. This was one of the biggest shockers of this moment as he got to witness various cultivation methods whilst also experiencing the lives of common folks who for whatever reason could not become more in their lives.
He has witnessed and felt the heartache 'they' experienced. He fell in love millions of times, seeing those loved ones either die or betray him for some silk pants young master. Only in a few instances was he able to live a life that seemed like those wuxia novels he read in his past life. Those where a new soul took possession of the dead teenager or was naturally reborn with their memories but they were just sealed away. He was able to somehow affect things there by working as those peoples instincts. Yet he strangely found that the more he interfered, the more the memories corrected themselves by elevating the power of the 'antagonists' or their backup.
Really, are they supposed to be heaven favored or heaven hatted? These dumbasses are just agents of chaos that slaughter entire clans, a few of them even destroyed entire cities and killed thousands of people because a mayor or king had made an enemy of the 'protagonist'. If this was his past life, he might have cheered for these folks but in the end, his only admiration for them was related to the uniqueness of their abilities or certain aspects of their stories that is different than anything else an author makes. Yet experiencing all this now in his own reincarnation. He sees the truth of these circumstances and can only look down on their pathetic egos.
Sure, he also caused rampant massacres but they were more controlled due to the confidence in his own power and the capabilities of his students to go through events within their own capabilities.
His self reflection ends as he stands before the altar, the silver orb in his hand raised up as he planned to put it in the slot. He instinctively knows that something must go here to open up a passage to allow him to leave. Yet as he is about to put the orb in the altar's slot. He hears something that brings him dread.
"NIHILLLLLLL."
His body seemingly shatters and is reforged but with a pained expression on his faceless body. He witnesses a tall figure in black robes and pitch black trident in hand. The wooden draconic like face gazes at him with frustration. His appearance looks like there is a wind fluttering past him….that or as if he is on the brink of being dragged away.[1]
"You utter retard" Mohg, Lord of Blood curses Xue Tie.
"Fucker" Xue Tie moans in pain and is hunched over the altar.
"That's your job. Let's be clear here, You are currently trapped in the river of reincarnation. That thing in your hand is the mental representation of your own soul. If you put that in the slot, you will disappear forever. Now I would love that as it means I get your body once I go past the gates. But that is not what I wanted. I want to be with my Miquella. You don't know about this because I have kept most of the previous death gods' memories from you. But I understood that someone like you, who was transmigrated here, had a chance to be the river's host. You who had ignored the river itself would repent by being it's host"
"Yet I brought you here in the most natural way whilst avoiding the river, so you don't possess two souls but one. I have safeguarded your soul and I shall do so again. Just remember, you, who have played with my clan and history, owe ME" Mohg explains the situation and then stands before Xue Tie. Mohg grabs him by the face and throws him towards the hoop-like gate just past the altar.
"Fuck you old man, just take my body if you want it so much. Take your own fucking revenge you bastard."
"Hehehe. As if you can fucking stop me" Mohg raises his hand and his own crystalized soul emerges. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO", Mohg slams it down on the altar. The gate behind Xue Tie awakens and a swirling portal opens as Mohg raises his hands out in a 'well, what is it' pose.
Xue Tie would grit his teeth if he could but he is still 'faceless'. His voice is just being emitted from his body naturally.
The grabbing force on Mohg is strengthened as he is simply dragged off into the endless abyss behind him while the same is done to Xue Tie but towards the portal.
He re-emerges but finds his hand is skeletonized and the rest of his body is pale and weak. He sees the Rakshasa God before him as well as a gathering of other gods who are watching his body. To hide his expression, he slouches and begins just talking forward.
As he is doing that, he feels the strange river that had formed inside his body and revolved around his death core. Using it as a source of purification as it destroys all the bile from the memories and bloodlines that belonged to the original owners of the souls. Knowledge of how the river functions and powers is provided to him. He also feels the connection he feels to the death god throne strengthen whilst also mutating as it transforms into something new.

The formerly death god's throne has evolved into Samsara God's throne synergizes with his newfound power. It invigorates him beyond what he thought was possible with his body.
Xue Tie realizes that he has some goals to accomplish before he can rest today. He might as well get them started now. Which is why he stops next to the Rakshasa Goddess who begins to step back in fear over the stories she has heard about the Samsara Host. He puts his hand on her head and gives her an ultimatum before dashing forward to stab his hand into the fat fucks chest.
Eating so much should have given him many cavities, so what is one more on his chest? Yet he is not satisfied with just ripping out his heart, as such he places his bloody hand over the Food Gods face and uses his new power to attract the soul of the food god out of his body. The soul is sucked into his body, serving as nutrients to complete his ascension and immediate growth into a 3rd stage God Officer and nearing 2nd stage.
He suppresses the rampant energy with ease and then turns to the Asura God with looks of hatred and annoyance. He has to repay the debt he owes to Mohg once and for all. In truth he originally didn't plan to actually fight the Asura god if he was a chill dude. But that is no longer possible as he owes a debt now. He must put down the one who separated Miquella and Mohg in their first life.
"YOU, FIGHT ME BITCH" He charges forth at the Asura God.
The asura god himself is quite confused by this development as he raises his sword to defend while calmly saying, "You and I have no qualms, young one."
"I don't care asshole, You killed my ancestors." Xue Tie announces a false motive as he doesnt want to reveal his own reincarnation to the giant audience here nor the details of how he survived against the samsara river and evolved from Death God to Samsara Host to Samsara God.
He summons his draconic martial spirit which underwent a new evolution as its body glows multi-colored due to the various colors reflected from the river being exposed onto the dragon soul which merged with his martial spirit. The draconic avatar's claws collide with the Asura gods sword and cracks appear on the claws while the Asura god is simply knocked back with a frown on his face now.
"I was planning to leave well enough alone, especially since I settled my mortal grudges long ago, but here you go bustling about with your impunity. I shall teach you a lesson once and for all."
Black jeweled metals coat the Asura gods body. Xue Tie quickly realizes that this is his own divine armaments, they rapidly boost his power. Xue Tie has no choice but to try something new with his martial spirit. He forces it to undergo a transformation into his typical trident while his own death god armaments appear, it will take some more time before they evolve into samsara god armaments due to the energy required for their evolution. Yet this is still enough to boost his own power to meet and then exceed the Asura Gods showcased power.
The God of destruction witnesses this fight with a frown on his face as the power showcased by Xue Tie is on the upper limits of Quasi God King[2](rankings in Author notes below). He is naturally smart enough to tell that Xue Tie isn't capable of wielding his full power yet due to the abruptness of this situation but should he be able to consume the soul of another god such as the Asura god then he would far surpass him. That is unacceptable and so he secretly contacts all the other major gods who then contact their own subordinate gods and god officers to see what type of plan the God of Destruction has in store for Xue Tie.
