Chapter 1222: The Time Dragon - Qiao Du Takes Action! Ultra-Large Scale Time Reversal!

Chapter 1222: The Time Dragon - Qioudou Intervenes! Massive Time Reversal!

After finishing this editorial preface, Qioudou closed the book.

The following content would be the actual body of the text—something he would need to ponder deeply before writing.

He looked up at Zhou Zhou, a faint smile playing upon his face.

His interest in this mortal Emperor, whose ties to the Dragon Race were profound, had only grown stronger.

Previously, when he had arrived, he had approached the Emperor's self-written biography with the mindset of fulfilling a friend's request—a friend's vision, entrusted to him.

But now, he genuinely wanted to witness the future of this being.

Could such a mortal Emperor, filled with "naive dreams," truly accomplish what he envisioned? Could he become the person he aspired to be?

The Time Dragon found himself intrigued.

After all, whether or not one is naive is ultimately a matter of facts.

If someone speaks it but fails to act, then one may call their idea "naive."

But if someone not only speaks it—but actually does it—then no matter how absurd or impossible the feat may seem, that person is truly extraordinary!

Yet at this moment, Chiodou had not forgotten His true mission.

"Your Majesty, in fact, I could also lend a hand in reviving the fallen soldiers."

Chiodou pointed to the corpses of the deceased soldiers, smiling gently.

"Should the Crown Prince choose to intervene, then I would be most grateful."

Zhou Zhou was momentarily stunned, then chuckled.

He naturally placed full faith in the Crown Prince's words.

According to the dragonblood lineage within His own body, it was said that the Crown Prince had once performed the legendary feat of resurrecting a mythical dragon clan.

In terms of resurrection ability, He even surpassed neither of the two Primordial Gods of Life and Death.

Chio stood, nodded, then soared above the Crimson Empire of Lanlu and the Celestial Emperor's Vessel.

Zhou Zhou saw this and ordered the soldiers lifting the corpses to set them down.

The soldiers obeyed without hesitation, immediately releasing their fallen comrades and awaiting further instructions.

Chio, upon witnessing this, silently admired, "What a disciplined legion!"

Then, His expression grew stern, and He murmured a spell silently.

With low, intricate, and mysterious incantations emerging from Chio's lips, a miraculous river of time and space—reflecting countless phantom dimensions, spanning across realms and epochs—suddenly reappeared from the void. Surrounding this magnificent river stretched an endless expanse of floating crimson landmass, boundless and unmeasured.

"River of Time and Space, Eternal Continent…"

"Legend says the Time Dragon was born within the River of Time—this must be true."

Zhou Zhou whispered to himself, watching the scene unfold.

After all, that is—

After the river of time and space and the eternal continent manifested, the great temporal river began to flow sluggishly across the ancient land, as though what Qiaodu had summoned was no mere phantom, but an absolute reality.

And it was at that very moment.

The incantation upon Qiaodu’s lips suddenly grew urgent and resounding.

In the next heartbeat.

An event transpired that struck awe into the hearts of countless living souls.

Under the influence of Qiaodu’s spell, that river of time and space actually began to flow backward, and though it reversed for a mere fleeting instant, that single moment nevertheless unleashed a torrent of temporal power!

This power of time and space descended upon the domain of the Blue Dew Crimson Empire, spanning billions of kilometers.

Within this vast expanse, every fallen soldier was resurrected in the blink of an eye;

The wounds of the injured rapidly reversed, vanishing into nothingness;

Even the terrains altered by the war and the structures laid to ruin underwent a reversal of time, swiftly restoring themselves to their former states.

And yet, the power of time restored itself selectively—those crimson soldiers slain by the soldiers of the Sun Empire did not follow the current of time backward and revive; they remained in death, frozen in their final moments.

Seeing everything restored, Qioudou smiled and ceased his spellcasting, then turned to Zhou Zhou and said:

"May the Emperor be satisfied."

"Satisfied," Zhou Zhou replied, his eyes shining with astonishment. "More satisfied than ever."

He gazed at Qioudou with a look of pure wonder.

This reversal of time had not only brought back his soldiers, but had fully restored all the buildings damaged by war.

Now, the imperial capital of Blue Dew and Crimson Empire stood whole—ready for immediate occupation by its people and professionals. No repairs were needed.

This saved them countless complications.

After all, for any victor of war, restoring the ruined infrastructure of a fallen city is not only the most arduous task, but also the most costly. Even for Zhou Zhou, it had been a burden.

He doesn't care about spending money—what matters is that repairing damaged urban infrastructure will consume both manpower and time.

Now that there's this temporal dragon god here, the trouble simply vanishes.

In secret, he observes this extraordinary Lord of Qioudou and notices that after using this time-reversal technique just now, he appears completely unharmed, as if no energy has been expended at all.

Zhou Zhou can't help but whisper in astonishment.

The mastery of time laws displayed by this Lord of Qioudou surpasses what he had ever imagined.

"Lord, how many times per day could you use a technique of this scale?"

Zhou Zhou asks.

"It's merely reversing time within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles. For me, there's no limit to how many times I can use it in a single day."

The Lord of Qioudou smiles lightly. "I can reverse time for an entire cosmos at once. This small-scale time reversal? I could use it dozens or even hundreds of times a day—your Majesty, there's no need to worry."

Even that is an understatement.

As one who delights in traversing countless realms and timelines, one of His most frequent activities—and indeed His greatest abilities—is to wander through various time lines, even to reset the entire timeline of a world, arriving precisely at the moment He needs.

Though the worlds within those timelines are merely subordinate micro-universes tethered to the Supreme Cosmic Expanse, vanishing and reappearing in the span of a single thought, such a feat remains an astonishingly beyond the reach of most true gods.

"That would be splendid," Zhou Zhou chuckled. "Then, please, Lord Qioudou, make use of this post-battle time-reversal technique more often from now on."

"This technique is of vital importance to our Jiaoyang Empire."

"I am already a subject of the Emperor," Zhou Zhou said, smiling. "The Emperor need not be so formal—just give me orders freely."

Qioudou grinned happily.

He could not forget, in front of this humble yet profoundly powerful Celestial Emperor, though young in years, already possessed a master god-level combat strength comparable to his own.

Should they ever clash, even with His myriad tactics, He could not guarantee a decisive victory.

And with His current status—as a subject of Zhou Zhou's—He truly regarded Zhou Zhou as his Emperor.

Upon hearing Qioudou's meaning, Zhou Zhou understood, pondered briefly, and then nodded.

After a while, having cleared the battlefield, Zhou Zhou paused and thought. To ensure that the lords of the Stellar Alliance could swiftly and efficiently deploy their influence, he decided to divide his force of over six hundred trillion soldiers into more than three hundred separate units. Each lord would lead two trillion and more soldiers, along with their own personal troops, to independently infiltrate and subvert the hostile factions bordering the Prajaya Empire.

This approach should allow him to exhaust the full potential of his influence in the shortest possible time.

As soon as this plan formed in his mind, Zhou Zhou dispatched messengers to spread the order. Within moments, the vast Prajaya army had split into over three hundred detachments, each marching toward different bordering hostile principalities.

The efficiency of this method was indeed extraordinary.

Less than an hour later, all the lords of the Stellar Alliance returned, having successfully carried out their subversions.
