Douluo Dragon King: Martial Soul Spring and Autumn Cicada, Lord of Time

"A cold wind blows in the desolate valley, cicadas sing in spring and autumn as the youth returns..."

"Buddha Tang... I, Zhao Tao, have returned!"

Douluo Continent, Sun Moon Federation, Aolai City, Qidian Orphanage.

A slightly childish little boy suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of joy flashing in them.

Unlike the other children in the orphanage.

Zhao Tao is not an indigenous person, but a transmigrator from Earth.

After unexpectedly encountering a large passenger vehicle, they were transported to the Douluo Continent during the era of the Legend of the Dragon King.

However, this is not his biggest secret!

because......

At this moment, Zhao Tao is not only a time traveler, but also a time traveler who has returned from the long river of time!

This is certainly not a coincidence.

It originated from his martial spirit—the Spring and Autumn Cicada!

A being capable of traversing the river of time, reversing the flow of time, and allowing people to travel back in time—a being that defies the laws of nature.

Zhao Tao now.

It is through the cicadas of spring and autumn that they are reborn and return with memories and heritage of the future!

Before rebirth.

Although it relied on the power of the Spring and Autumn Cicada and its understanding of historical trends as a time traveler.

Several years before the final invasion of the Abyss, Zhao Tao had already successfully broken through to the realm of a quasi-god and was given the title of Great Love Douluo.

Furthermore, he possesses the spiritual power cultivation of the Divine Origin Realm and strength surpassing that of Yun Ming.

With absolute strength, he plotted to conquer the world, established the Douluo Family Alliance, and made full preparations.

However, Zhao Tao was, after all, just a time traveler, not an omniscient and omnipotent god.

Before a host of true god-level enemies, including the Abyss Saint King, Tang Hao, and Tang San's Divine Thoughts.

In the end, he was still one step behind and failed to thwart Tang San's grand plan, thus exiting the stage in disappointment!

Fortunately, Zhao Tao had anticipated the worst-case scenario.

They also prepared numerous backup plans and trump cards.

Facing the powerful hand of Tang Shenwang's purge—

Zhao Tao resolutely activated the cicadas of spring and autumn, reversing time!

Although the spring and autumn cicadas' ability to reverse time is not 100% successful.

Fortunately, Zhao Tao was quite lucky.

Not only did it successfully regenerate.

And incredibly, he was reborn when he was six years old!

It was also during Zhao Tao's first time-traveling experience that she broke through the mystery of her birth and awakened her memories from before her time travel!

"Unfortunately, the rebirth of the cicada in spring and autumn does not come without a price..."

With a long sigh, Zhao Tao summoned his Spring and Autumn Cicada Martial Soul once again.

Before his rebirth, Zhao Tao's Spring and Autumn Cicada Martial Soul was like a masterpiece crafted by a master using precious materials, radiating vibrant vitality.

However, the cicada in front of Zhao Tao at this moment exuded a strong aura of death. Its body appeared dull and withered, and its wings had turned yellow and broken, like fallen leaves, as if it would wither at any moment.

This is the sacrifice that Chunqiu Chan made to help Zhao Tao travel through the long river of time and be reborn—a fundamental blow and loss!

Originally, the Spring and Autumn Cicada was a top-tier martial soul.

When Zhao Tao awakened his martial soul in his first life, his innate soul power was at its maximum.

But now.

Zhao Tao could sense that due to the damage to the origin of the Spring and Autumn Cicada Martial Soul, his innate soul power had also temporarily decreased.

"Although my innate soul power is temporarily damaged..."

"But I have memories from my previous life, and I also have specially prepared cultivation techniques to pass down to me. My advantage is in my hands!"

"Furthermore, the damage to the fundamental nature of the cicada is not irreversible; it just takes time to recover."

Looking at the lifeless and extremely listless cicada, Zhao Tao felt a pang of heartache and withdrew it back into his body.

Although the original power of the Spring and Autumn Cicada was almost exhausted due to its rebirth.

But cicadas in spring and autumn can continuously draw power from the river of time to restore their vitality.

However, this recovery process cannot be completed overnight.

If the cicadas rely solely on their own recovery, it would take a cumulative nine years to return to their peak condition!

During these nine years, Zhao Tao's innate soul power will also increase by one level each year until he returns to his peak state of full innate soul power.

At the same time, if one can find rare and precious materials that contain the power of time, such as the Sands of Time, it can also accelerate the recovery of the Spring and Autumn Cicada.

It can even directly enhance Zhao Tao's soul power and cultivation level through the refinement of the Spring and Autumn Cicada.

However, such natural treasures that contain the power of time are extremely rare and expensive.

Even titled Douluo level experts would find it difficult to obtain.

Of course, the backup plan that Zhao Tao had prepared beforehand can come in handy in this regard!

After all, one cannot carry any cultivation or items with them when reborn.

However, before his rebirth, Zhao Tao had already used the Spring and Autumn Cicada's senses to discover the locations of many unexploited Time Sand deposits.

Once your cultivation level reaches a certain point, you can go to these places to collect the Sands of Time and accelerate the recovery of the Spring and Autumn Cicada!

"The recovery of the cicadas in spring and autumn can only be achieved gradually."

"Right now, the most important thing is to intercept the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, who has just entered the human world, or rather—Na'er!"

"In this life, I will take back everything I've lost with my own hands!"

"Buddha Tang, just you wait... I will surely turn the tide!"

After sorting out his thoughts, Zhao Tao quickly grasped the "main task" at hand.

Just like in the first life, he rescued Na'er before Tang Wulin could and "kidnapped" her home.

Now, everything is ready, and all that's left is for Nar to officially enter the human world!

......

"Children, it's time to get up."

"Today is the day you change your destiny."

"You will be heading to Red Mountain Academy to awaken your martial spirit."

"If you possess innate soul power, you have the potential to become a Soul Master—"

"By then, the Sun and Moon Federation will arrange for Soul Masters to adopt you, and you won't need to stay in the orphanage anymore!"

Just then, a loud female voice rang out in the orphanage room.

She is Zhang Mei, the director of Qidian Orphanage.

Upon hearing Zhang Mei's voice, the children in Qidian Orphanage got up, changed their clothes, and washed up.

After eating a breakfast consisting of only a bowl of thin porridge, Zhao Tao and several other children who had just turned six, led by Zhang Mei, headed to Hongshan College.

"Children, when we arrive at Red Mountain Academy, a Spirit Master will help you awaken your Martial Souls."

"When the time comes, you must all obey and follow the instructions of the Spirit Master. Do everything according to his command."

Following Zhang Mei's repeated instructions, Zhao Tao and his group entered Hongshan Academy and arrived at a circular awakening room, where they began to wait patiently.

"Before my rebirth, when I awakened my martial soul, my Spring and Autumn Cicada martial soul was at its peak, and my innate soul power reached level ten, which is full innate soul power."

"Now that the Spring and Autumn Cicada's essence has been damaged and my innate soul power has plummeted, the resulting butterfly effect will probably be much greater than I imagined."

"Furthermore, innate soul power also signifies talent!"

"Although my innate soul power can recover with the restoration of the Spring and Autumn Cicada's origin, the effects I suffered in the past few years are real."

"However, my pre-prepared contingency plans are enough to offset most of the gap!"

While waiting for the soul power test, Zhao Tao fell into deep thought again, pondering his future development plan.

"Zhao Tao!"

Just then, a teacher from Hongshan College stepped out of the awakening room and called out Zhao Tao's name loudly.
