Douluo Dalu: From the Start, I Contracted the Fallen Moon Goddess

In Douluo Dalu, one's fate is determined by one's Martial Soul. The Martial Soul Mo Yuan awakens is called the Soul Pact Demon Mark. It can form contracts with living beings throughout the world, but demands a sacrifice of his Spiritual Origin. On the day of his awakening, the entire village brands him an evil being and drives him from his home. With nowhere else to turn, he ventures into the Star Dou Great Forest, accidentally stumbling into the Moonfall Ruins, where he encounters a fragment of a soul sealed away for ten thousand years. She calls herself Liu Xi, the Fallen Moon Goddess. Stripped of her divine position for rebelling against the Divine Realm, she wants only someone to collect fragments of her divine position for her. “Make a pact with me,” she says condescendingly. “Borrow my divine power and change your fate.” Only after the pact is sealed does he realize how much more dangerous this bargain is than he imagined: If she is injured, he suffers backlash. If he dies, she vanishes. She tempts him to descend into darkness, waiting for a chance to seize his body. He uses her to fight against fate, all the while staying on guard. From then on, an unorthodox young man and a fragment of a fallen god rise to power in the narrow space between Spirit Hall, Shrek, and the Divine Realm. Neither of them knows that the end of this battle of souls conceals the deepest conspiracy in the Divine Realm. He is evil, but logical. He puts himself first, but has his limits.
