Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

This feeling of powerlessness seeped into Li Lan's entire body like icy water.

In the end, Li Lan simply looked in the direction of the Great Wall at the border and bowed deeply.

……

After Pangu left.

Li Lan found a deserted, desolate star and began to cultivate in seclusion!

He began searching for ways to counter the Primordial Force.

In his mind, a light shone, and he savored the profound meaning of each word.

He had already perfected the mortal scriptures, and now he was repeatedly trying to find some clues.

However, three months passed in the blink of an eye, and Li Lan had gained nothing.

He had already thoroughly mastered the Mortal Scripture, and indeed nothing was missing from it. In other words, the Mortal Scripture was not the key to the Heavenly Emperor's ability to contend with the primordial power.

"The scriptures are meant to counteract the will of Heaven."

Li Lan pondered that the Heavenly Emperor's purpose in creating this scripture was not to resist the Primordial One, so Li Lan's attempt to find the answer in this scripture was perhaps futile.

"Therefore, the Heavenly Emperor's ability to confront the Primordial Chaos must be related to the laws he practiced in the previous stage."

The Heavenly Emperor's life can actually be divided into two stages. In his early years, he led many tribal leaders and human warriors of the Eternal True Realm to open up a path, constantly growing stronger and conquering, and finally wiping out all the demons of the Eternal True Realm.

After the Eternal True Realm established the human race's tradition and order, the Heavenly Emperor entered the second stage: his later years.

In his later years, he rarely appeared in public and was almost always in seclusion. The only companions he had were a cat, a dog, and the lotus flowers in the lake.

During this period, he began to contemplate the cycle of civilization and its birth and death. He finally realized that the dragon slayer would eventually become the dragon himself. So, he began to plot and think about how to create a divinely ordained strike to annihilate all immortality and eternity in the world.

Therefore, in the later stage, his target was the people of Cangyi; in the earlier stage, his target was the demons that occupied the world.

According to the great god Pangu, those demons likely came from the Path of Origin. The fact that the Heavenly Emperor was able to destroy them shows that he already possessed the ability to confront the Origin in the previous stage.

On the contrary, no scripture possesses such power!

Once this thought came to mind, Li Lan immediately stopped dwelling on the mortal scriptures and began to recall them.

He had previously obtained a bronze mask left behind by the Heavenly Emperor, which allowed him to glimpse the Heavenly Emperor's life. Now, he recalled it once again.

Scenes from ancient epics played repeatedly in his mind. Every detail of the rise of humanity was being carefully examined by Li Lan. He was tracing back every battle fought by the Heavenly Emperor...

He recalled the time when the Heavenly Emperor rose to power, facing the vast fire domain, he resolutely took a step forward, determined to use his own body to refine the essence of the formless fire.

He recalled the battlefield of demons, where the Heavenly Emperor charged forward alone, forcing all the demons to cower in fear, and with a final sweep of his sword, annihilated them all…

Flames raged, demons swarmed... Throughout his life, the Heavenly Emperor faced countless life-or-death situations.

"life and death……"

Suddenly, as if sensing something, Li Lan uttered the next two words: "Survival or extinction!"

"The power of the primordial can destroy everything in this world, because the primordial is the source of everything in this world."

"This power transcends life and death. Even if an ordinary person dies, the karma they leave behind will still remain in this world, and people will still remember them."

"But the result of the primordial power is complete non-existence. Once struck by the primordial power, even loved ones will forget their existence, and the world will be distorted into something that never existed."

Li Lan had a flash of inspiration and had already grasped the most fundamental essence:

"All the power in the world, even if one cultivates the forbidden path to its extreme and becomes an immortal king, the limit of power is only to make a person [die]. But the essence of primordial power is to make a person [nonexistent]!"
