I Already Rewound Time, So How Could There Be a Cooldown?

"Stand in the middle and fight both sides?"

Was my future self really that badass?

Yu Yuan truly hadn't expected that he would one day fight three gods as a Titled Douluo.

"That's right!"

The Silver Dragon continued recalling the scene it had witnessed.

"At the time, you appeared directly in the middle of the battlefield."

"You told Spirit Hall that you were avenging the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, then charged in and fought two of them at once."

"And at the same time, you told Tang San that you were avenging Xiao Wu, then had the blood-red giant dragon you summoned attack him."

"It was truly incomparably valiant. You really did stand in the middle and fight both sides."

Hmm?

Would I really have such deep feelings for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and Xiao Wu?

Yu Yuan didn't think so, but the other party didn't seem like it was lying to him.

Wait!

A blood-red giant dragon?

Could it be...

Yu Yuan thought of the secret technique he had just memorized.

Haha...

As the saying went, when your talent was limited, think more about your clansmen.

Yu Yuan looked awkwardly at the Silver Dragon. It couldn't possibly know what he had done, could it?

But clearly, Yu Yuan had underestimated the power of the Temporal Saint Dragon.

And overestimated its moral bottom line.

"Oh, don't worry, Master. I have no objections whatsoever to your actions."

"In fact, I even helped improve that secret technique of yours."

Fine, I'd thought this dragon was far too noble. But...

"Improved the secret technique?"

"That's right. It's not that I want to criticize you, Master."

"But your methods were way too crude, and I have no idea how much you consumed."

"When the Asura God descended, every single slash he landed on you was a critical hit!"

The Asura God?

"He actually descended to the lower realm himself?"

Yu Yuan had thought he'd taken too many pills, lost his mind, challenged three opponents alone, and gotten beaten to death in the end.

Now, it seemed he might have underestimated his future self.

"Yeah, you were especially valiant back then."

"Plus, that Angel God on Spirit Hall's side seemed unwilling to attack you."

"So you nearly beat Tang San to death by force."

Even now, the Silver Dragon found it a pity when it thought of that.

Sigh, Master had tried so hard. How was Tang San still alive?

No, it seemed he really had been beaten to death once.

He had merely been revived afterward.

"Unfortunately, that God King refused to follow the rules. He claimed you were an evil soul master, descended to the lower realm, and blew you apart."

"He even erased every record of your existence, causing little old me to nearly miss you, Master."

At this point, Yu Yuan finally understood the full sequence of events.

He also understood one thing.

This nine-hundred-and-ninety-thousand-year-old Temporal Saint Dragon—

After being battered by the later timeline—

Had gone all in.

"So, I'm on the dragons' and soul beasts' side now?"

"Listen to yourself."

The Silver Dragon immediately put on a fawning expression.

"What do you mean, you're on the soul beasts' and dragons' side?"

"The soul beasts and dragons are clearly on your side."

"You are the co-lord of all soul beasts!"

The illusory Silver Dragon immediately pounded its chest with a dragon claw in assurance.

"Rest assured, once we contact Di Tian and the others, we'll cover all your future soul rings and soul bones."

"That good? Then what do I have to give in return?"

Yu Yuan didn't believe he could truly receive resources for free.

Besides, he could barely be considered someone who distinguished gratitude from grudges. If he accepted benefits, he naturally had to repay them.

"I have no demands. I only hope that after you become a god, you'll think of ways to help soul beasts a little more."

The Temporal Saint Dragon truly had no other demands. It merely wanted a reliable master who could lead it to godhood.

It had not chosen Huo Yuhao because it didn't want a master who was treated like a dog by others.

As for Yu Yuan, someone who could stand in the middle and fight both sides even without its help—

How could he possibly become Tang San's lackey?

As for the soul beasts, it was also certain that Yu Yuan wasn't the sort to deny everything after taking the benefits.

Helping however much they could was enough. It couldn't possibly get any worse, right?

"I understand."

Yu Yuan nodded, then realized he still didn't know what to call the other party.

"Right, what should I call you? Temporal Saint Dragon?"

"Oh, come on, Master. Just call me Xiao Shi, or Xiao Kong, whatever you prefer."

"Uh, you really don't have to act like this."

Yu Yuan was still very grateful to it. After all, it had directly saved him a great deal of time developing.

"That won't do. We can't confuse status and rank."

The other party told Yu Yuan not to worry.

It said things like how it loved being a subordinate and couldn't live without a master.

So Yu Yuan had no choice.

"Fine, stop rambling. I'll call you Xiao Kong, then."

After all, Yu Yuan had no talent for naming things. The fact that he had always called his martial soul the Yellow Fat Dragon proved it.

"Alright!"

Xiao Kong seemed extremely excited, as though it had finally received its master's recognition.

"Then shall I introduce my abilities to you, Master?"

"You really don't need to... Forget it, do as you like. Please make it detailed."

Yu Yuan gave up trying to change it.

After all, it seemed to be enjoying itself.

"Got it, received."

Then the Temporal Saint Dragon began introducing itself in detail.

"First, the soul ring I provide."

"Because I forcibly reversed ten thousand years of time, my origin has been severely damaged. For now, I can only provide one soul skill."

"But I believe you'll definitely be satisfied with the soul skill this soul ring provides."

"Ta-da! Time Reversal!"

"As long as you activate the soul skill, you can reverse time according to the amount of your soul power."

"Time Reversal? What about its cooldown and exact consumption?"

Although there was only one soul skill, Yu Yuan felt that no ability related to time could be weak.

Still, he had to consider the soul skill's cooldown and consumption.

"Huh? What do you mean, Master?"

"If you've already reversed time, how could there still be a cooldown or consumption?"

"What the fuck? What do you mean? Explain it clearly."

After a detailed explanation, Yu Yuan finally understood just how heaven-defying this skill was.

Taking Yu Yuan's current soul power as an example, after activating the soul skill, he could currently reverse time to roughly two hours earlier.

Then, aside from his memories, every aspect of Yu Yuan's state would return to how it had been two hours earlier.

Furthermore, during the span between two hours ago and the moment he activated the soul skill, Yu Yuan could rewind back to that point from two hours ago infinitely many times.

Of course, the limitation was that he couldn't endlessly rewind further forward by stepping on his own left foot with his right, nor could he cultivate through this method, since it would all be rewound.

Even so, it was still absurdly powerful.

"Right, won't the God Realm notice?"

This was Yu Yuan's only concern. After all, what if he enjoyed cheating too much and ended up getting banned?

"Please rest assured, Master. There are currently no time-type gods in the God Realm."

"And this is an innate ability I was born with. I've been messing around for so many years without ever being discovered. As long as you don't use the soul skill right in front of a God King, there absolutely won't be a problem."

Then I have no problem with it.

Was this the strength of a nine-hundred-and-ninety-thousand-year-old Temporal Saint Dragon?

Yu Yuan felt that this soul skill simply should not exist on the Douluo Continent.

It was far too overpowered.

What, it was my soul skill?

Oh, then it was a perfectly normal mechanic.
