Chapter 01, Time Travel, Pocket Watch, Zafkiel
Douluo Continent, Star Luo Empire.
Before a simple grave, a boy dressed in light blue cloth, who looked to be about ten years old, was kneeling.
His eyes were empty and lifeless, like a walking corpse.
"Born into the White Tiger Duke's mansion as an illegitimate son, his mother is Huo Yun'er. He recently buried his mother and changed his name to Huo Yuhao, preparing to acquire a spirit ring and become a spirit master..."
Huo Yuhao rubbed his head as intense emotions triggered memories of his past life, fragmented recollections flooding in like a tidal wave.
He was a typical night owl who worked nine to five and spent his time reading novels.
On his way home from get off work one day, he was having a heated discussion with netizens about Huo Yuhao, a protagonist who was detached from his true nature and had been leashed like a dog.
He was clearly a chosen one, with countless cheat codes, so many that even the most invincible characters felt they used too many. In the early stages, he could barely be considered a revenge-driven warrior.
But in the later stages, it completely changed. The wolf warrior turned into a sycophant, and the sycophant became a loyal dog. He lost himself, forgot his original intentions, and everything he did was for the benefit of his deceased wife, the God-King.
Even dogs would shake their heads at that.
Unexpectedly, just as he was having a heated discussion...
Suddenly, I was struck by a stroke of great luck.
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in this land without battle qi or magic, only the Mother Land that has reproduced to the extreme... cough cough, it's the Soul Power Continent.
"So, is my reincarnation because of it?"
Huo Yuhao calmed his mind and could sense a pocket watch engraved with golden patterns in his spiritual sea.
This is an item he bought at a comic convention.
I usually carry it with me at all times.
Now that we've traveled through time, it's still there, which inevitably raises suspicions.
Driven by curiosity.
Huo Yuhao grabbed the pocket watch.
Instantly, golden light enveloped the entire silent sea of spirit, and everything in sight was dyed with a golden color.
Faintly, one could hear the ticking of a clock.
"What is this?"
Just as Huo Yuhao was puzzled, the pocket watch flew straight towards him at a speed that he couldn't react to at all.
He didn't even see the pocket watch move.
The next second, Huo Yuhao felt an intense stinging pain in his eyes, and the burning pain made him roll on the ground.
It hurts too much.
It was as if someone had gouged out his eyes.
The pain, which is unbearable for ordinary people, continued to burn his soul even after he fell into a coma.
Living is worse than death, every second feels like a year.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but when Huo Yuhao woke up again, he could no longer feel the pain, and even his mental sea had returned to its former darkness.
"These are...my eyes?!"
When Huo Yuhao woke up with a start, he immediately felt that his surroundings had undergone a huge change as soon as he opened his eyes.
The delicate scenes that could only be seen by using one's martial soul have now become permanent.
Could this be the realm of subtle perception?
Huo Yuhao looked at the White Tiger Dagger at his waist, pulled it out, and through the crystal-clear steel, he could clearly see the change in his eyes.
Those once deep blue eyes have now transformed into a pair of striking heterochromatic pupils.
Upon closer inspection, one can see that his left pupil is a golden clock, exuding holiness and majesty.
The right pupil is a red pupil that exudes a sense of oppression.
"Could this be Zafkiel, the Angel of Time?"
Huo Yuhao tried to communicate with his martial soul, and a special memory surged into his heart. Behind him, a huge clock, more than twice his height, appeared out of nowhere.
As the long and short needles on it move, a spear and a pistol seem to appear and disappear.
I don't know how much time passed.
By the time Huo Yuhao came to his senses, it was already dark.
The moon was like a silver plate, and the sky was full of stars.
"I never imagined that this was actually Kurumi's ability."
Huo Yuhao muttered to himself.
According to the information transmitted by the martial spirit, this power comes from Tokisaki Kurumi, who was killed in a certain timeline.
Yes, it's that woman who pointed a gun at me.
By sheer coincidence, his blood was poured into his pocket watch, which led to this spontaneous trip.
At the same time, because the Spirit Eye Martial Soul was extremely compatible with it, they merged together, allowing Huo Yuhao to initially grasp the time-manipulation abilities of the Zafkiel Emperor, and his Martial Soul evolved into the "Eye of Time!"
Compared to the original story, the power of fate that even the God King could manipulate is far stronger now.
only……
Due to his limited strength, all of his abilities have been diminished.
However, this also indirectly converts the time consumed into soul power.
This can be considered an alternative form of enhancement.
This does not mean it is a lower-spec version; his abilities will also increase as his strength increases.
At that time, he could summon the past with his left hand, summon the future with his right hand, and cut through various timelines of himself in the middle, making him a veritable legion all by himself.
"Although I don't know if I'll be able to return to Earth in the future, the most important thing right now is to become a Soul Master."
"According to the original story, he only needs to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to unlock the storylines of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ilex..."
"For my future, I have to steal Huo Gua's opportunity... Wait, no, isn't Huo Gua me? Steal my ass."
Huo Yuhao shook his head, staring at the grave in front of him, kowtowed three times heavily, and then left without looking back.
He'll be back sooner or later.
Having borne the cause, one must also bear the consequence.
He is not Huo Yuhao from the original story. When he returns, he will surely wipe out the entire White Tiger Duke's mansion.
Now that he has come into this world, he certainly won't follow the old path.
I will not join the Tang Sect, nor will I go to Shrek Academy or Qiankun Wenqing Valley, which are scripted murder mystery games.
He wants to forge a new path.
Pursue your own wonderful life.
……
A few days later.
Starry Sky Forest.
Huo Yuhao looked at the area in front of him, which was filled with towering ancient trees, and couldn't help but feel surprised.
Although Douluo Continent is called the sewer of fantasy.
However, even martial arts heroes can't fake accidents in the sewers.
Before me stood trees standing side by side, their branches intertwined, shrouded in a misty green haze, their vibrant life force seemingly tangible.
If this were my previous life, this place would definitely have been called a fairyland.
"Then let's find something to eat first."
After walking for seven days straight, he had only eaten some dry rations, and his stomach was already full of cravings for meat.
As it happened, he also wanted to see if his skills really had the effect of a succubus.
Beside the creek.
Huo Yuhao took a sharpened wooden stick, aimed at the fish in the river, and thrust it in forcefully.
Unexpectedly, this fish has some kind of movement technique.
With a nimble movement, it dodged the attack, even circling his stick and blowing bubbles.
"Oh ho, you think you're so arrogant?"
"Come forth, Zafkiel!"
Huo Yuhao gave the foolish fish a loving smile, as a huge clock appeared behind him and a Type 1871 rifle appeared in his hand.
"The Seventh Bullet!"
With a loud "bang," the arrogant fish froze in place, its only sign that it was still alive was its eyes moving.
The effect was remarkable.
The only drawback was that this shot actually consumed almost all of Huo Yuhao's soul power.
The key point is that this freeze lasts for only half a minute.
Clearly, it was because of the limitations of the weapon that this bullet could not unleash its full potential.
At this moment, he felt somewhat weak, like a man who had sex seven times a night. He had only intended to try it out, but he hadn't expected it to take so much to exhaust him.
After a long pause, Huo Yuhao looked at the fish in front of him that was spitting out half a bubble, snorted coldly, and plunged the fork directly into it.
A stationary target is naturally easy to take down.
Just as Huo Yuhao was smugly grilling fish...
Suddenly, a noise came from the side.
Then a man and a woman came bounding out.
It's Beibei and Tangya, who are junglers.
Huo Yuhao: I strongly suspect they're lying in wait for me in the bushes, but I have no proof.
