“Ding-dong, congratulations, Host. You have obtained the SSS-ranked ability: Eye of Temporal Reversal.”
[Eye of Temporal Reversal]:
[Time Sand Insight: When activated, a glass-like hourglass pattern appears in the left eye. The left eye can predict crisis trajectories within the next 3 seconds, and semi-transparent “possibility afterimages” will appear in your field of vision.]
(Limit: Using this prediction consecutively 7 times will cause the left eye to bleed and result in temporary blindness for 2 hours.)
[Void Beast Pact: When activated, a swirling starry pattern awakens in the right eye. The right eye can tear open a rift to the “Void Beast Lair,” and the right eye’s space can store up to three Contract Beasts.]
[Destiny Reversal (Upgradeable): At critical moments, you may activate “Destiny Reversal,” rewinding time to the single temporal point previously recorded by the host. Each use consumes Humiliation Value, and the duration you can rewind increases with the total accumulated Humiliation Value.]
(Current level allows only one temporal anchor point.)
Su Nian stared intently at the newly acquired [Eye of Temporal Reversal] ability description, her eyes flickering with a mixture of surprise and excitement.
It was as if, in this pitch-black abyss, she had finally found the life-saving straw that could help her break free from her shackles and regain her freedom.
She could hardly wait to test this power that bordered on the miraculous.
Taking a deep breath, she slowly closed her eyes, gathering all her focus to attempt activating “Time Sand Insight.”
In an instant, a faint sting pricked her left eye.
Immediately after a glassy hourglass pattern slowly surfaced, and the world before her seemed to be covered by a mysterious filter, transformed beyond recognition.
Faint, semi-transparent “possibility afterimages” began to flicker in her vision, like illusory phantoms, yet they carried a sense of undeniable reality and power.
She tried walking around the room at random.
Every subtle movement was presented a second ahead of time in her eyes, revealing the trajectory of her next action.
Even when she casually tossed an ornament, several possible directions of its movement appeared before her, as if time itself had slowed down, making everything crystal clear.
“Heavens!”
“This ability is incredible!” Su Nian couldn’t suppress her amazement, murmuring in a low voice.
With this ability, she could react in advance to danger—whether it was the sudden, unpredictable attacks of that Horned Demon Bastard, or other unknown deadly threats—her chances of survival would increase drastically.
Without a doubt, this was a combat ability strong enough to change the entire course of battle!
Next, Su Nian focused all her attention on the “Void Beast Pact.”
The moment she silently recited the activation command, a wave of warmth surged in her right eye, as if a mysterious power was stirring, and the swirling starry pattern swiftly awakened.
Following the system’s guidance, she carefully tried to tear open a rift in the void.
In that instant, a powerful and mysterious force surged out as if to swallow her whole.
A gateway to an unknown space—the “Void Beast Lair”—suddenly appeared before her eyes.
Within that deep space, it seemed countless mysterious and powerful creatures lurked, their auras drifting in and out, making her both excited and tense.
Su Nian peered inside, curiosity and longing gleaming in her eyes.
She knew well that she could form pacts with three mighty Contract Beasts from within, and they would become her strongest support and most reliable allies in future battles.
But she also understood that the choice of Contract Beast must be made with utmost caution, for it would determine her life and death, and the outcome of every fight to come.
Still, among these three formidable abilities, what Su Nian anticipated most was the ultimate power—”Destiny Reversal.”
She was well aware that this ability was her trump card for overturning any situation.
If only she’d had this power before, would she have been bullied so miserably by that Horned Demon Bastard?
All she needed was to record a temporal anchor before the battle.
Even if she were defeated, she could bring all her memories with her and stand before Chu Tian again and again, fighting him to the bitter end!
Whether she set the anchor before entering the cave in the Monster Forest, or at the gates of Shadowmoon Manor, she would have more options and chances than ever.
Even if she failed once, she could choose to challenge again immediately, or go back to train in seclusion for a while, returning for revenge when she grew stronger.
This was practically a cheat-level [save point] function!
From now on, she could stand undefeated!
Unfortunately, this ability couldn’t be used without limit—each activation consumed Humiliation Value as the price to trigger this heaven-defying temporal reversal.
At this thought, a wave of frustration surged in Su Nian’s heart.
Still, it was already amazing—at least it wasn’t just an S-rank power.
Both Time Sand Insight and Void Beast Pact would be a huge help in battle.
She never expected to draw an SSS-ranked ability!
After testing her abilities, Su Nian knew she absolutely couldn’t expose this secret.
“Ding-dong, the shop has been upgraded. Items unlocked.”
[Shop]:
The system recommends the host purchase [Saint-level Magic Mastery]. Purchasing will maximize your combat power.
Saint-level Magic Mastery (SS-rank): 1,000,000 Humiliation Value.
Currently, her Humiliation Value had reached 860,000, so there were only two routes left for Su Nian to choose.
The first—
Relying directly on the heaven-defying SSS-ranked [Eye of Temporal Reversal], she could set an anchor in advance, then challenge the Horned Demon Bastard, Chu Tian, to a life-or-death battle!
The second route—
Continue to endure, quietly accumulating Humiliation Value until she reached a million, purchase Saint-level Magic Mastery, then enter the Void Beast Lair to obtain her Contract Beasts, and only then seek out Chu Tian for revenge.
The only pity was that Destiny Reversal required Humiliation Value to activate.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t need to hesitate—she could fight Chu Tian right away, and if she lost, simply “reload” and try again, making everything effortless.
Su Nian paced back and forth in her room, her brows furrowed in deep thought.
After a moment’s consideration, her gaze gradually grew resolute.
She decided—this time, she had to play it safe!
There was no choice.
She must act with caution.
It was her impatience before that led to two defeats at the hands of the Horned Demon Bastard, bringing her endless humiliation and pain.
This time, she would never repeat the same mistake—she had to win, and win completely!
She refused to believe that, once she’d gathered a million Humiliation Value, mastered Saint-level Magic Mastery, obtained the advanced Lingyuan Flame Barrier, and wielded this heaven-defying SSS-ranked [Eye of Temporal Reversal], she wouldn’t be able to foresee her opponent’s attacks, or summon three powerful Contract Beasts.
On top of that, she controlled the finances of Shadowmoon Manor, which meant she could recruit allies, or even turn Chu Tian’s own men against him, joining forces to deal with that bastard.
Most importantly, even if she lost in battle, she could use Destiny Reversal to try again and make up for all her regrets.
With all this, how could she possibly lose?
