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

The current state of the Demon King Wudao is extremely astonishing. His originally withered body is regenerating flesh and blood, his gray hair is turning black again, and even his face, which was full of old wrinkles, has become smooth again.

He is being reborn.

At the same time, he was surrounded by divine phenomena, as if he were on the other side of the world. Golden lotuses bloomed around him, blue light spread everywhere, clouds filled the air, and the Great Dao enveloped him. He was like a master who had transcended all cause and effect.

In the Demon Abyss, all the other demons knelt down before him.

"The Unruly Demon King is invincible under heaven!"

"The Unruly Demon King is invincible under heaven!"

The demons who survived being trapped here were all true masters, yet they were all shouting at this moment.

After a long, long time.

The light surrounding the Demon King Wudao gradually dissipated.

What appeared before everyone was a middle-aged cultivator in his prime!

He was completely human, not a demon, with flowing black hair, a powerful yet restrained aura, and a majestic and imposing figure, like a mountain.

He slowly opened his eyes, then stood up and gave Li Lan a slight bow!

"Thank you for your guidance, young friend. I have already grasped the Dao!"

Seeing this, Houtu Thirteen, Xingluoyuan, and the others had even more complicated expressions!

This is the Unruly Heavenly Demon, whose might shakes the world. He is the only peerless figure who can withstand two swords from the Heavenly Emperor. Even in the primordial world, others are the ones who bow to him.

But now he is bowing to Li Lan!

What an honor!

If this were to be told, probably no one in the world would believe it.

"Senior forged all paths and laid out a shocking killing trap. In fact, you were only a thought away from reaching this level. What I did was merely to guide the situation. The one who truly broke the trap was Senior himself."

Li Lan remained calm.

The Demon King Wudao nodded, his eyes filled with emotion as he looked at Li Lan.

"The Heavenly Emperor is indeed worthy of being called the Heavenly Emperor. Even in this lifetime, I, Wudao, can hardly hope to reach his level."

He was once trapped in demonic thoughts after being defeated by the Heavenly Emperor, unwilling to admit defeat. But now, he has broken free from the desire for victory and defeat, and has gained insight into a higher realm. As a result, he has come to understand just how powerful the Heavenly Emperor truly is.

His successor alone is already at this level. If the Heavenly Emperor had not died, who in all the heavens and myriad realms could rival him?

"Back then, the Heavenly Emperor pitied my talent and did not kill me. Now, with the guidance of my young friend, I owe the Heavenly Emperor's lineage a heavy debt of gratitude."

He solemnly declared, "When Wudao emerges from seclusion, I will surely repay him!"

Houtu Shisan and Xingluoyuan both looked on with extreme envy.

Since a figure like the Unruly Heavenly Demon has uttered such words, it means that he will likely go to great lengths to repay this debt of gratitude, no matter what dangers he faces in the future!

It can be said that Li Lan now has a true backer in the original world.

—Although Li Lan was exceptionally talented and had an astonishing understanding of the Great Dao, his realm was ultimately only that of Divine Fire.

There will still be danger when facing immortals, ancestral demons, and the like.

The Unruly Heavenly Demon can deter all villains!

"Thank you, senior!"

Li Lan spoke.

"I have gained much today. I will now go into seclusion. As a descendant of the Heavenly Emperor, leaving this place will not be difficult for you. In the future, if you ever need anything, simply call my true name, and I will surely descend to assist you—"

The Demon King Wudao spoke.

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared.

"He can descend simply by calling out his true name... Could it be that the Unruly Heavenly Demon has actually taken that legendary step?"

Houtu Thirteen couldn't help but murmur.

A single name is enough to evoke a response... This is something only those who have surpassed the Supreme Being in legends can do.

"Beyond the supreme, the Way is exhausted."

Xingluoyuan couldn't help but speak up. The moment he uttered the words "exhausted," even he himself couldn't help but sigh.

The so-called "end of the Way" means the end of all the Ways in this world, from which there is no more step to take.

Throughout history, in the primordial world, no more than ten people have been able to achieve this.

Once this stage is reached, it is said that one can transcend cause and effect and truly live in harmony with time.
