The end is in the beginning, the past dictates the future. What world will you choose?

DBCB-JP040 竜華三界流転 Ryuuge Sankai Ruten (Apodrakosis Eternal Recurrence of Trailokya)
Normal Trap Card
You can only the (1)st and (2)nd effects of this card’s name each once per turn.
(1) Special Summon 1 “Apodrakosis” monster from your hand, Deck, or GY, but return it to the hand during the End Phase.
(2) You can banish this card from the GY, then target 1 “Apodrakosis” Continuous Spell you control or in your GY or banishment; place it on the bottom of the Deck, then draw 1 card.

Note: 三界流転 is a Buddhist concept of the endless cycle of life, death and rebirth through past, present and future. The term used isn’t quite the same thing but gives about the same vibe or idea, I feel.

Trailokya refers to three worlds, which has multiple meanings and uses in Hinduism and Buddhism. Here it refers to the worlds of Sea Serpents, Dinosaurs and Wyrms.
