Douluo: Caelus Awakens the Martial Soul Istaroth

Reincarnated into the Douluo Continent during the era of The Unrivaled Tang Sect, Cealus originally believed that, with a system in hand, he would soar to the peak of the continent from the very start. Who could have expected that this unreliable system would be erased the moment it activated, vanishing without a trace? Just when he thought the script of his life had been completely torn apart, he discovered that the system had not truly disappeared. Instead, it had sacrificed itself to the Heavenly Dao, leaving behind a legacy imbued with unfathomable authority. With no other options, Cealus reluctantly accepted this inheritance, awakening a time-attribute martial soul—Time Ruler, Istaroth. From that moment onward, the power system of the Douluo Continent began to feel… distorted. While others relied on soul power cultivation, spirit rings, and explosive soul skills, his abilities ignored conventional scaling and instead revolved entirely around temporal mechanics. [Effect Precedes Cause] Anchor a future outcome, lock in the result, then retroactively rewrite the past to ensure it happens. [Time Deletion] Erase the process itself and arrive directly at the predetermined conclusion. [Time Reset] On the brink of death one second, completely restored the next. [Time Phase] Your attack may shake the heavens, but my true body exists at another point along the timeline. If you can, pursue me across time itself. There were no exaggerated soul power ranks, no dramatic ring explosions—yet whenever Cealus smiled and casually raised his hand, even the God-Kings of the Divine Realm felt an inexplicable chill. “This person’s soul skills… they operate on principles beyond the laws of this world.” Cealus, later dubbed the King of Narratives and the So-Called Gentleman Who Lives Off His Wife, merely gazed at the vast starry sky above Douluo and let out a faint chuckle. “Even without a system… I remain invincible.”
