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

He could sense that the demonic sword contained an extremely strong malice; there must have been three demons, slightly weaker than it, that had been refined into it…

If his physical body were still there, he would naturally not be afraid, but now that he is only a soul, he might not be able to withstand such a sword strike.

Moreover, although the creature before it was a lowly human, it was a ruthless being capable of resisting the primordial chains, and for that reason alone, it could only show awe.

After a brief hesitation, it spoke:

“I come from the original fifth race.”

"Was there originally one world?"

"Of course!"

At this point, a hint of pride appeared in the old tortoise's eyes: "The myriad worlds are merely illusory reflections of the primordial chaos, and the endless civilizations are just reflections of the primordial fire!"

"The so-called Eternal True Realm is nothing but our hunting ground. You are things that came into existence by chance. Only the primordial race is the master of everything!"

"A single grain of primordial matter can evolve into a vast universe, and a single spark of primordial light can become a celestial radiance that transcends millennia... What good is cultivating for ten thousand years? Upon witnessing the primordial essence, all vanish into nothingness!"

"The Eternal True Realm also has many powerful figures who can comprehend the distinction between existence and non-existence and reach the realm of the Immortal King, but your immortality is nothing more than a carving on paper or the moon reflected in water!"

"Having obtained the primordial matter, one can create eternity, the vast universe, time, and the rules with a single thought..."

That is true eternity!

Upon hearing this, Li Lan remained silent for a long time.

He had already used the primordial substance and deeply understood just how wondrous it truly was.

Putting everything else aside, as long as he obtains a portion of it and fuses it into his own life, he can become an immortal being.

"But if that's the case, why didn't you absorb that primordial substance? Why were you suppressed by the Heavenly Emperor for so many years?"

Li Lan countered with a question.

Upon hearing this, Houtu Thirteen was speechless for a moment, and said somewhat indignantly, "Do you think primordial matter is so easy to absorb? Primordial matter is very strong, but getting close to it... will cause you to lose yourself!"

"To obtain primordial power, one must pay a heavy price, which ordinary beings simply cannot bear."

“Back then, in the primordial world, a powerful being discovered that the blood of weak creatures could actually help suppress the mutated power brought about by the primordial chaos. Therefore, we arrived in this realm and began hunting to accumulate blood provisions…”

"Unexpectedly, a freak has emerged in this realm, who actually managed to wipe out everything with the life of an ant, and even defeated several great figures who possessed primordial power..."

It recalled the ancient war and the figure in blue robes wielding a sword, and couldn't help but shudder.

Li Lan remained silent for a long time, naturally understanding who Houtu Thirteen was referring to.

Throughout history, as the universe crumbles and time is shattered, and the primordial chaos recedes, only that one monument stands tall in the long river of time…

God!

“We once tempted him with primordial power, but he regarded the primordial as dung and suppressed us all under the monument of merit, unable to rise again…”

Houtu Thirteen was extremely resentful. "But fortunately, he still lost in the end. He didn't want eternity, but there are plenty of people who do. What he discarded like trash is a priceless treasure that all living beings in this world can only dream of."

"After the Heavenly Emperor passed away, the kings who followed him finally began to taste the original flavor. We originally thought that they would die and collapse soon... but unexpectedly, they found a way to suppress the original chaos."

It stopped abruptly, keeping everyone in suspense, and looked at Li Lan with a leisurely air. This involved a huge secret that it did not want to reveal easily.

But Li Lan said calmly:

"common people."

"Gather the faith and willpower of all people to suppress the ominous and eerie aspects of oneself."

Upon hearing this, Houtu Thirteen was stunned. "You... how did you know?!"

This is a true top secret; even within the entire Eternal True Realm, very few people know it.

Even an immortal family like the Xuan Yue clan has no access to such top secrets.

Unless they are core members of the nine eternal royal families!

—The Eternal True Realm is vast and boundless, but the numerous immortal royal families and clans are merely pawns of the nine royal families who plunder the world's incense offerings and beliefs!

Of this vast land and countless lives, the true masters are only a few families.

The Heavenly Emperor is dead, and what he disdained has become something those families are desperate to control.

And those families did indeed use this to rule the world for countless years!

They call themselves eternal, they call themselves kings, they dominate their territory, the names of their ancestors have become taboo, just mentioning them may cause great disaster, their people have become untouchable beings, they roam freely wherever they go...

While they appear to be extremely powerful, they still need to rely on the power of all living beings. Only when people believe in them, worship them, praise them, and submit to them can their rule be long-lasting and secure.

Without faith and incense offerings, their grand edifice will immediately collapse, and their supreme eternal king will instantly transform into an out-of-control monster!

The Eternal Royal Family is powerful, but in reality... it is also incredibly weak.

All it takes is for the world not to believe it!

Therefore, the Eternal Royal Family will stop at nothing to eliminate any existence or dissenting voice that appears in the world that is different from them, treating them as demons.

The more nervous they are, the more it reveals their weakness.

……

Houtu Thirteen was puzzled: how could Li Lan know all this?

Do you know where these primordial chains on my body came from?

Li Lan simply smiled desolately.

……
