Time reversal?

Had he really returned to the moment right after he had received Xiao Jian Daoist's message and the Sleep god had taken away his ability to sleep deeply?

What's going on?

Had he previously been lured into a dream?

Or was this the dream?

Inside the Sect Master's cave dwelling, behind the desk by the side of the pool.

Wu Wang raised his hand to slap himself but then looked towards Yang Wudi, who was covering his arm, sporting a large swath of bruising, and sincerely asked, "Does it hurt?"

Yang Wudi's purplish lips trembled continuously, his face still marked by tear stains, yet he showed Wu Wang a 'tender' smile. The nine-foot-tall bald strongman said with a shaky voice, "Thunder and rain are both gifts from the Sect Master."

See! Wu Wang clapped his hands and stamped his feet. He knew he was dreaming at this moment! But I got too excited just now. I was too harsh on Wudi...

The Sleep god by his side showed a slight trace of curiosity.

A short blade appeared in his left hand. He drew it across his finger, then suddenly inhaled sharply.

The Sleep god cursed, "How come it doesn't hurt! Why are you folks in the Human Domain into feinting!"

Wu Wang asked in a determined voice, "Brother, are you sure this isn't a dream?"

"Of course it isn't a dream. I haven't laid a hand on any of you," the Sleep god replied, his eyes wide.

Wu Wang looked towards the others.

The Grand Elder pondered deeply for a moment, carefully sensing his surroundings.

Elder Miao held her arm and furrowed her brow slightly, likely muttering to herself. The Sect Master seemed perfectly fine, so how did he suddenly... lose his mind?

Indeed, this is not a dream.

Wu Wang knitted his brows tightly. He stopped avoiding reality and began to earnestly analyze what had happened.

One thing he could be sure of was that, indeed, a reversal of time had occurred.

It was just like in his previous life on Blue Star when playing a game with save and load features; he had returned to the time when the incident with the Lin Family had just erupted.

But how did I return? What exactly happened in that instant? And these memories, these images, these fragments that now fill my mind... The image of Mother facing a sky full of shooting stars, Little Jingwei's desperate farewell...

GASP!

Wu Wang clutched his forehead, drawing in a sharp breath of cold air. Those around him immediately showed their concern.

The Grand Elder asked in a gentle voice, "Sect Master, are you perhaps too exhausted?"

"I'm fine, my cultivation heart is just a bit unstable."

Wu Wang quickly replied. He was in no mood for pleasantries or further explanations.

First, why the reversal happened is currently an unanswerable question. I can only conclude that this time reversal wasn't triggered by my own will. It felt more like I had met certain conditions, and some inexplicable power burst forth from within me, shattering my being and returning me to an earlier point in time. The curse of the God of Fortune?

Wu Wang immediately called Lin Suqing to the inner cave, but she rushed back in just a moment.

Just like that... I confirmed my curse hadn't disappeared.

Faintly, Wu Wang perceived some minor changes within himself. Examining his inner state carefully, his expression first showed surprise, then some relief.

My Divine Thought power has sharply decreased by twenty percent. My cultivation base has also fallen to a certain extent, but I haven't dropped an entire realm, only my cultivation level. My total Mana has sharply reduced. The Divine Power within my body has also suffered a loss of about fifteen percent. Upon closer calculation, this loss seems to have occurred when I resisted some formidable Great Daos while reversing time, resulting in something like 'friction' or 'wear.'

Let me organize my thoughts. What exactly did I go through before? Qiong Qi caused trouble. Lin Nuhao's intentions were unclear. The Lin Family suddenly rebelled without any warning. The people within the Human Domain were restless. Some Cultivators showed their ugliest sides. Armies from both sides assembled in the northwestern direction. Then a great battle broke out. The Heaven Palace's forces, along with the Head Manager, were steadily defeated and heavily injured by His Majesty Shennong. I don't know the specifics of the great war that unfolded. The Head Manager was terminated by the God of Death, and the Great Dao was tearfully absorbed by the Young Master. Emperor Shun completed his schemes. The Dao of Life merged, life and death evolved into the Yin and Yang Path, the existing world order upgraded, and Ancient Gods like Candle Dragon were completely isolated from the universe. What must come next is... Heaven Palace will be free to act, aiming to annihilate the Human Domain completely. Just at the instant the world order finished upgrading... I exploded. Literally exploded. My physical body shattered. My Primordial Spirit seemed to fall into a vortex. A drop of Essence Blood flew from my forehead. My consciousness plunged into darkness. When I woke again, I was in the grand hall of my neighbor, the Sleep god. I returned to two days prior. Which is this very moment.

The memories of the past two days I experienced are so clear...

From the inner cave came Immortal Mu's sobbing and muttering.

Memory point: Xiao Deng's Deadline.

Wu Wang immediately stood up and rushed over.

Before anyone could catch up, Wu Wang had already frowned and walked out, leaving Immortal Mu hugging Xiao Deng and cheering joyfully.

Looking up at the sky, Wu Wang thought, Heavenly Punishment... three... two... one.

BOOM!

A clap of thunder echoed above the Annihilation Sect, and heavenly might permeated the area.

Wu Wang once again ordered the Ming Serpent. He stood in place for a while. The Heavenly Punishment clouds outside the mountain were dispersed by the Ming Serpent, and the familiar gray aura reappeared around him.

The backlash from abusing my god position and divine authority.

The necklace on his chest flickered faintly. The gray aura was frozen again, turning into gray dust.

It's the same. Everything is the same. But the timing of this event, because of the decision I made, has already changed.

Wu Wang immediately grasped the necklace and called out with all his might to his mother.

This is too bizarre, utterly bizarre! Only Mother's gentle care can help me pull myself together in time!

"What's wrong?"

Cang Xue's voice, reaching Wu Wang's mind, carried a hint of confusion. "Why do you seem a bit off today?"

"Mom... I've encountered something very strange."

Wu Wang organized his words and tactfully described the situation he had experienced, speaking for roughly half an hour.

I can't let Mother worry too much.

Cang Xue listened, then remained silent for a while before asking softly, "Are you saying that you feel you've already lived through tomorrow and the day after, but during that time, some unpleasant things happened? Then your body exploded, your Primordial Spirit was drawn into darkness, and when you opened your eyes, it was already today?"

"Yes!"

Even the voice in Wu Wang's mind seemed to change. At this moment, he was like a drowning man clutching at a straw.

Cang Xue chuckled lightly and said, "You, you've really become obsessed with your Cultivation. Besides, reversing the river of time requires contending with the Dao of time. Even if the Ancient God who controls the River of Time came back to life and wanted to turn back the heavens and earth by two days, how much Mana would that require? How much Divine Power? The Divine Power of the god of time isn't used that way either. It can only speed up or slow down the flow of time in a small area. Ba'er, could it be that you were affected by some illusion technique before? Or perhaps, during your slumber, you foresaw future events through the Great Dao? Those are possible. Such things have happened before; some Divine Spirits do have the ability to foresee the future."

Mother doesn't seem to be taking this seriously.

Wu Wang pondered for a moment, rubbed his face with both hands, and thought with a wry smile, before saying to Cang Xue, "It must be this Sleep god's ability. Perhaps he was just toying with me."

"You shouldn't get too close to him either," Cang Xue said softly. "We don't need to gain anything from him."

Wu Wang agreed with a smile, glancing at the Sleep god, who looked somewhat uneasy.

Once Wu Wang put down the necklace and gestured with his hand, everyone crowded around him.

The Ming Serpent and Elder Miao appeared on either side of him, one to his left and one to his right.

Immortal Mu ran over, holding Xiao Deng, who had regained its youthful vitality. Xiao Deng called out softly, "Thank you, Lord Deity."

Wu Wang was slightly startled.

In that instant, for some unknown reason, he became firmly convinced that he hadn't merely been in a dream or an Illusionary Realm, nor had he simply foreseen or had a premonition of what would happen in the next two days.

He had truly experienced it.

The feelings in his heart couldn't be faked; that subtle sensation was impossible to replicate.

A true spacetime reversal really happened. What kind of Great Dao was this? What principle was behind it?

That feeling of déjà vu, that subtle sensation, sent a chill through Wu Wang. The hairs on his body stood on end repeatedly, and his gaze flickered uncertainly.

"What's wrong?"

Ling Xiaolan asked softly from the side. The Blue Bird also landed on the armrest of a wooden chair near Wu Wang, greeting him with a CHIRP CHIRP.

Wu Wang said in a low voice, "There's something I can't figure out. Let me calm down first."

Xiao Jian Daoist mused from the side, "Wu Wang, could it be that you're having trouble accepting the fact that the Lin Family betrayed us? Wu Wang, Lin Nuhao is an extremely cunning man. Do you suspect there might be other hidden circumstances?"

Wu Wang looked at Xiao Jian Daoist.

The Xiao Jian Daoist from before was vehemently cursing Lin Nuhao at this point. How could...

Wu Wang said, "Brother, weren't you quite indignant before?"

"Ah, right!" Xiao Jian Daoist's expression instantly turned fierce, and he gnashed his teeth, cursing, "That Lin Nuhao has monstrous ambitions! Truly disgusting! PTOOEY! Disgusting!"

With that, Xiao Jian raised his sword and rushed towards the entrance of the cave dwelling.

"I shall go to the Northwestern Territory to kill our enemies at once!"

Wu Wang didn't try to stop him, staring blankly at Xiao Jian Daoist's retreating figure.

These words already clearly differed from what Xiao Jian Daoist 'should' have said according to my memory. Clearly, from the moment I returned to this point in time, things have already started to change. The only question is whether these changes are major or minor, and whether, like a butterfly's wings, a few flaps here can affect the entire cosmic situation... That's right, the path ahead can be changed!

Wu Wang felt a surge of spirit, his entire being becoming somewhat excited, but a sudden headache quickly brought him back to reality.

Ling Xiaolan said softly, "Brother Ji and Sister Le Yao are already on their way. Brother Wuwang, try not to worry too much."

Lin Suqing brought over some warm soup from the side. Noticing Wu Wang's complexion was a bit off, she said softly, "Young Master, if there's something difficult, why not tell us? We can discuss it together."

"I suspect that I've just experienced a..."

Wu Wang paused, then chuckled. "It's nothing. This matter has just troubled me a bit. I need to meditate for a while."

Most of the people present looked as if they wanted to speak but stopped themselves.

But they all knew that Lin Qi and Wu Wang shared a deep bond, much like a master and disciple, so Wu Wang was naturally feeling distressed.

Soon, the area around the desk became quiet and empty.

The Sleep god hadn't left. Instead, he observed Wu Wang with keen interest, as if he had discovered something fascinating.

Behind the desk, Wu Wang closed his eyes and focused his Spiritual Mind, forcing himself to calm down.

After an hour, Wu Wang called out to his mother in his mind and asked, "Mother, can the Candle Dragon reverse time?"

Cang Xue's voice remained very calm as she answered, "If it's on a small scale, yes, it can be done."

Wu Wang nodded slightly and apologized for disturbing his mother's rest. Then he sat cross-legged on the wooden chair, meditating quietly.

I must find the reason for this as soon as possible. Even if I can't find the cause, I must determine if this can happen again, and under what conditions. Although, judging by the outcome, it seems some mysterious force has given me a second chance to face this challenge. But I really want to know: am I being used as a pawn, part of some powerful entity's game against Emperor Shun? Or did my own changes and opportunities cause this? Active or passive—this is crucial for me. I have to understand what happened so I can decide what to do next.

Thus, another two hours passed.

I gave up. Overthinking is pointless; I can't figure out what exactly happened. But the power that created this spacetime reversal currently aligns with my interests. They sent me back to stop Emperor Shun from sealing off the world. It was likely the Candle Dragon God or other Strong Gods. As for how much Spiritual Energy it would take to reverse the entire Great Wilderness by two days... it's basically incalculable. Could Divine Spirits truly be capable of such a feat? Impossible! It's completely illogical!

Wu Wang desperately wanted to deny it, but this had undeniably happened to him.

When Ji Mo and his wife, Le Yao, arrived, Wu Wang broke free from his contemplation and began to ponder his next move.

Known facts: The reversal definitely happened. The principle behind it is unknown. It was not determined by my own will. Assumption: The two-day time reversal was performed by a Divine Spirit opposing the Heaven Palace. Several options lay before me.

Option A: Use the information I now possess to turn the tide in the Northwestern Territory, making the great battle dissipate and thereby delaying the Heavenly Emperor's move against the Head Manager.

Option B: Find a way to capture the Head Manager and completely disrupt the Heavenly Emperor's plan to upgrade the world order.

Option C: Go to the border in advance, set things up, and ambush the Heavenly Emperor.

After much thought, Wu Wang calmly added Option D: directly inform the Shennong Family of the Heavenly Emperor's scheme and let the venerable Senior Shen Nong decide how to arrange the battle.

This would be far more effective than anything I could do on my own.

Wu Wang immediately called for the Yan Emperor Order.

He told Shen Nong that the Heavenly Emperor intended to construct a Life-Death Yin-Yang Great Array to seal off heaven and earth and upgrade the existing order.

Wu Wang presented the changes in the Great Dao he had witnessed as a 'hypothesis,' explaining them in detail to Shen Nong and emphasizing the stakes involved.

He made it clear: if the world order upgrade succeeded, the Human Domain would face a catastrophic disaster.

Even the mere possibility of this meant the Human Domain had to treat it with utmost caution, and the Human Emperor had to prepare a response.

Shen Nong didn't hesitate for long. He instructed Wu Wang to stay away from the Northwestern Territory and personally rushed off to make battle arrangements, apparently intending to capture the Head Manager and assess the situation himself.

Once he understood the Head Manager's situation, the truth of Wu Wang's words could be verified.

Stay away from the northwestern border?

Wu Wang thought carefully. It's not a bad idea. Let Senior Shen Nong, His Majesty the Human Emperor, handle it. I can just relax under the Great Tree. If I don't go to the northwest, what will happen? I'll just stay here in the Annihilation Sect and let the old senior do his best. It's not like I'll explode again, right?

Wu Wang chuckled.
