Chapter 1: My Little Pony

On a path lined with bright red Applejack trees, a Little Pony with a pink body and pink mane was bouncing along… well, more like walking, humming an unknown tune.

Suddenly, she stopped, her tail still twitching rapidly, and then her body began to shake rapidly up and down.

“Tail twitch, full-body shiver… Hmm, a tail twitch means something will fall from the sky, but a full-body shiver is a first,” Bi Qi said in surprise, bending down and looking up at the sky, while pulling a colorful umbrella hat from her hair.

“And they’re happening at the same time, a combined premonition! So… exciting…” Bi Qi’s voice trembled with anticipation.

“My tail is twitching again, I need to be careful.” She cautiously hid in the grass, then poked her head out from behind another tree.

Just then, something fell from the sky, landing right in front of Bi Qi, creating a large, smoking crater.

“What is it? What is it? Candy? A cupcake? Applejack pie?” Bi Qi stretched out her cute little head, looking into the large crater in front of her with anticipation.

“Is this… a Little Pony?” Bi Qi tilted her head, looking confusedly at the center of the pit, where a smoking Little Pony stood.

“Wow, a sky-falling Little Pony, how cool! Hey, how did you do that? I want to play too, how did you do it?” Bi Qi suddenly appeared in the center of the big pit, bouncing around the Little Pony standing in the middle.

“Bi Qi, what’s going on over there? I just saw something suddenly fall near you. Are you okay?” A head popped up from the edge of the big pit and spoke to Bi Qi.

“Hello, Applejack! I was just on my way to find you when my tail suddenly twitched, and my whole body shivered and shivered, and then a Little Pony went ‘whoosh’ and fell down, and then I asked her how she did it, and I want to play too, and then you came!” Bi Qi gesticulated wildly as she recounted what had just happened to Applejack.

“Oh, dear, I don’t think she can answer you right now.”

“Why?” Bi Qi looked at Applejack and asked, confused.

“Because… she fainted,” Applejack said, pointing to the Little Pony next to Bi Qi.

Bi Qi turned to look at the Little Pony in the center of the pit; the Little Pony who had been standing was now lying down. “Is she asleep? Hey, the sun’s on your butt!”

“I think she needs some rest. Let’s take her to my place first,” Applejack said to Bi Qi as she walked to the center of the pit and put the Little Pony on her back.

“Okay, let’s go together then!” Bi Qi hopped along with Applejack towards the Applejack house.

“Where is this? I remember I was testing a Ju Ling Array, wasn’t I? Hiss, my head hurts so much. Did it fail? Is it really impossible? Ah, indeed, I still can’t cultivate,” Duocai said, touching her aching head and looking at the dark, empty space around her, where there was nothing at all.

“By the way, where is this? Am I dead again?” Duocai looked at the dark surroundings.

As for why she said “again,” that requires a longer explanation.

【That’s right, this fellow has transmigrated once before. The last transmigration was…

“Stop with the nonsense, get straight to the point! I’m waiting for my grand entrance!” Duocai appeared directly behind the author and gave him a direct hoof kick.】

【Alright, stop kicking! If you kick more, won’t there be more filler? Won’t your appearance be even later? Okay, okay, we’ll be quick. The author made a compromise, seeing Duocai about to charge forward and kick him again.】

【In short, the last time she transmigrated, she went to a cultivation world, landing in a small village as a baby. She was taken in by an old man, who named her Duocai, hoping her future life would be Xuanli Duocai.

Then, one day, an immortal came to the old man’s place, and after that, she was taken back to the sect. This immortal was also the sect leader. Isn’t that particularly cliché? And this sect was the most powerful one.

As for the reason, it was because he felt a connection and then calculated with his fingers. He then felt that this little fellow had a predestined relationship with him, was a “talent,” and so he took her back.

But after taking her back, he discovered that Duocai couldn’t cultivate; she was a complete insulator, the particularly absolute kind. All sorts of methods were tried, but none worked.

The immortal even began to doubt his own life, but along the way, the immortal discovered that this little fellow had an extraordinary understanding of arrays, so he let Duocai try learning arrays.

And the little fellow actually learned them, and even improved them.

Then it shocked the immortal.

Although arrays can be arranged by people without magic power, it is very difficult to understand and successfully arrange them without the corresponding magic power.

Moreover, what was successfully arranged and improved was the Ju Ling Array, which was considered almost perfect, increasing its spirit-gathering effect by nearly ten percent.

After that, although Duocai couldn’t cultivate, the immortal still gave Duocai a Daoist title, named 【Xuanli】.

After that, Duocai was allowed to live in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, where most of the sect’s classics were kept, allowing Duocai to read and learn.

Although she couldn't cultivate, it didn't hinder Duocai from reading. What harm could it do to read? What if she could cultivate after all?

Thus, her daily routine of reading in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion began, day after day of reading classics.

Twenty years passed like this, during which she tried many methods, though she still couldn't cultivate.

But in terms of arrays, she could absolutely be called an Array Grandmaster.

The kind in the first echelon (of course, a theoretical one, as most arrays still require magic power to set up, or even multiple people).

Finally, she actually optimized almost all arrays, and then, she began to try to court death.】

On a moonless night, Duocai, alone with her materials, arrived at a mountain peak.

She began yet another attempt to change her inability to cultivate, but Duocai didn't know that this would be her last attempt in this world.

“This time it will definitely work! With the Dao Fruit as the core of the array, rootless water, lightning pool fire, World Tree leaves, Hou Tu’s essence, and Heavenly Gang Qi as supplements, and arranged with many other materials, I can definitely change my physique and allow myself to cultivate!” Duocai placed the last spirit stone in its designated position.

She then walked to the center of the array, waiting for the most opportune moment to arrive.

As the moon moved into the suitable position, the time also reached the most opportune moment.

Duocai took a deep breath, recalling if there was anything she had forgotten to do, any items she had missed, and if she had written her last will.

She thought about it, and there was nothing.

Then let’s activate it.

Duocai filled the last empty spot in front of her with a spirit stone.

As the last spirit stone fell into place, the entire grand array began to operate.

Various materials began to float, surrounding Duocai.

The array also began to emit colorful light, and streaks of moonlight and starlight came from the sky.

As for why she chose the night, it was because the moonlight and starlight at night were relatively gentler.

Many precious materials began to melt, then transformed into spiritual energy.

Then, they flowed orderly into Duocai’s body. Duocai felt intense pain in her body.

After that, Duocai began to feel spiritual energy surging within her body; she could feel the existence of spiritual energy.

“Ha, I succeeded! I can feel the spiritual energy!” Duocai ignored the severe pain from her body and shouted happily.

However, at this moment,

The array made a shattering sound, becoming unstable, and the surrounding space also began to make cracking noises.

Then a terrifying lightning bolt struck down, and the entire mountain peak disappeared.

After that, she was now in this little dark room.

“By the way, if I was struck dead by lightning, can I still have consciousness? Is my mortal little body really that powerful?

Hmm? What’s that ahead?” A bright light appeared above Duocai, and voices came from within it.

“Is anyone there? Where is this? Hello, can you hear me?” Duocai asked towards the light, but no one answered.

Seeing that no one answered her, Duocai floated towards that place, trying to hear what they were saying.

But she still couldn’t hear clearly. Finally, Duocai floated to where the light was.

“Oh, dear, is this the Little Pony you said you picked up on the road?”

“Yes, Zhen Qi, she suddenly fell next to Bi Qi that day and even created a big pit, then Bi Qi and I took her home,” Applejack described the process of first seeing this Little Pony to Zhen Qi in a surprised tone.

“She doesn’t have wings, so why would she fall from the sky? Is she an extreme sports enthusiast? Cool,” Yun Bao said, looking at Duocai with great curiosity next to Zhen Qi.

“I had a doctor come and check her. The doctor said she’s fine, just temporarily unconscious, and she’ll wake up in a day. When she wakes up, I’m going to throw her a big~ party to welcome her to Ponyville. Hmm, I’ll call it the ‘Welcome Sky-Falling Little Pony Grand Party’!” Bi Qi, standing nearby, took out her confetti cannon and fired a loud bang, sending out many colorful papers.

“Dear, don’t rush yet, you have to wait until she wakes up. But haven’t you noticed how beautiful this Little Pony is?” Zhen Qi soothed the excited Bi Qi, her eyes beginning to gleam as she stared at Duocai, who lay motionless on the bed.

“Beautiful? Zhen Qi, you’re not thinking of dressing her up, are you? She hasn’t even woken up yet,” Applejack said to Zhen Qi in a helpless tone.

“Oh, dear, look at this Little Pony, with a pure white body, red and white mane, and like me, she’s a Unicorn! This mane color for a Unicorn is very rare; she’ll definitely look beautiful when dressed up,” Zhen Qi said to Applejack in a surprised tone.

“Come on, Zhen Qi, not everyone is like you, so concerned with dressing up,” Applejack said.

“Applejack, this is fashion! Not all Little Ponies are like you, uncaring about their image. The love of beauty is common to all Little Ponies,” Zhen Qi retorted.

“Girls, I think talking so loudly will affect her rest,” Fluttershy gently reminded everyone from the side, but no one heard her.

Finally, Duocai, lying on the bed, opened her eyes. She wanted to turn her head to see who was talking.

But her head still hurt a bit, feeling dizzy, as she had just woken up.

Then she saw five Little Ponies next to her, seemingly discussing how to make her prettier?

Are these horses? Five Little Ponies?

Was I saved by demon beasts?

“Oh, oh, she’s awake! She’s awake! Hi, hello, I’m Bi Qi, she’s Zhen Qi, this is Applejack, this is Yun Bao, and this is Fluttershy. What’s your name? Where are you from? Why did you fall from the sky? Are you playing some kind of game?” Bi Qi, seeing Duocai open her eyes, rushed directly to the bedside, began introducing Zhen Qi and Applejack, and finally leaned close to Duocai’s eyes, asking Duocai’s name.

“Hello there,” Applejack said.

“Hello, dear,” Zhen Qi said.

“Hi,” Yun Bao said.

“Hmm, hello,” Fluttershy said softly.

Zhen Qi and Applejack also took the opportunity to pull Bi Qi away from Duocai’s face.

Bi Qi, Zhen Qi, Applejack, Yun Bao, Fluttershy.

Duocai was a bit slow to react after hearing these names.

Wait, let me take a moment. My brain, just woken up, is a bit slow. Let me just take a moment.

If I remember correctly, these Little Ponies are very familiar. Hmm, if I’m not mistaken, they are from Little Pony, an anime.

An anime from before I transmigrated.

So that means,

I transmigrated again?

Is transmigrating like this even possible? Duocai was shocked. Transmigrated once, and then again?

Hmm, it seems like there are quite a few such plots in a certain online kindergarten novel site.

Then it’s fine.

This is Little Pony, which means I’m gone from that world.

Sorry, Master. Better to hurt sooner than later. I, who cannot cultivate, wouldn’t have lived much longer anyway.

It also fulfilled one of my wishes; I tried it myself, and now I’ve given up.

Hmm, and it was a physical death, the kind where there are no ashes left.

So will I also become a Little Pony?

Thinking this, Duocai tried to raise her hand, and then she saw a white hoof.

Hmm, indeed, I’ve become a Little Pony.

Thinking about it, it’s actually not bad.

After all, Little Pony is a very loving anime. Living here, without having to think about anything else, spending the rest of my life here is also very good.

After all, when I first watched Little Pony, I also thought that if there was a next life, I would definitely come here.

Learning friendship with the M6s, it’s also a kind of wish fulfillment.

By the way, there’s no Ziyue. Has Ziyue not come to Ponyville yet?

That means the plot in the anime hasn’t started yet, but it doesn’t matter, I’ll get to see Ziyue eventually.

Thinking this, Duocai smiled from the inside out and greeted the Little Ponies in front of her.

“Hello, Bi Qi, Zhen Qi, Applejack, Yun Bao, Fluttershy,

My name is Duocai, Xuanli Duocai.”
