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

However, when he opened his eyes, he found himself back in the underground palace of the Huatian clan. The surroundings were cold and gloomy, and the Primordial Furnace in front of him had actually been extinguished, and the primordial matter had returned to normal.

The Heavenly Emperor's tablet above remained unmoved.

"what happened……"

"I clearly saw the Heavenly Emperor just now..."

he murmured.

"The Heavenly Emperor has passed away, but he firmly believed that his descendants would rise up..."

At that moment, a voice came from behind him.

Hua Tianqiu suddenly turned around and saw Li Lan. His aged eyes scrutinized him, seemingly with suspicion. However, a faint light appeared on Li Lan's body, and his aura was released.

Hua Tianqiu gasped in astonishment, his old eyes wide with disbelief, and exclaimed, "You are... the Heavenly Emperor!?"

This vital energy of the Great Dao is clearly the same as that of the Heavenly Emperor.

"No, you are not the Heavenly Emperor, you are the Heavenly Emperor's successor!"

He exclaimed in surprise, "But wasn't the successor of the Heavenly Emperor already annihilated by the Eternal King Dongya?!"

Li Lan made no attempt to hide anything, and in a flash, revealed her true appearance!

"He survived by sheer luck."

He spoke.

Hua Tianqiu's pupils constricted, his eyes wide with disbelief, as if he had witnessed something impossible...

It really is Li Lan?!

But how could this be...?

That makes absolutely no sense!

The Eternal King Dongya personally descended, and with the help of the Heavenly Heart Imprint of the Eternal True Realm, risking his own demise, he used primordial matter to form a Heavenly Will Blade, which struck Li Lan...

When the Heavenly Blade descended, even a powerful ancestral god like Pangu could not stop it.

Several years later, news came from the Eternal Court that all of Li Lan's karma had disappeared from this world. This meant that the Heavenly Blade had taken effect, and Pangu's all efforts could not protect Li Lan.

Li Lan has completely disappeared!

But... how did he end up here again?

"You, are you really Li Lan?"

He was starting to doubt it, but who else in the world could possess this aura that originated from the same source as the Heavenly Emperor, besides Li Lan?

"The Heavenly Emperor once severed all cause and effect, existence and non-existence. I am dull-witted and only understood this a few years ago. I severed my own cause and effect and barely survived."

Li Lan did not hide anything.

Upon hearing this, Hua Tianqiu was even more shocked.

Severing one's own karma?!

He was the Immortal King, and he knew all too well what those four words truly meant...

Even in the present-day Eternal True Realm, with its countless immortal kings, no one could achieve this.

Even the Eternal King, if he wanted to shake the concept of cause and effect, would probably need to rely on the Heavenly Heart Mark of the Eternal True Realm, the power of all living beings, and so on.

Li Lan is currently only at the Divine Fire Realm...

How did he do it?

Hua Tianqiu took a deep breath!

"No wonder, no wonder the Heavenly Emperor chose you!"

His old eyes were filled with complex emotions. Li Lan had already achieved this much at such a level; his future potential was limitless.

The people... are saved!

"Hua Tian was once confused in his pursuit of the Dao, almost going astray and regretting it for the rest of his life. Now... he is willing to follow you, young master, until death do us part—"

He suddenly spoke with utmost solemnity, and then bowed deeply to Li Lan!

The dignified ancestor of the Hua Tian clan, the Immortal King, was now showing such respect to Li Lan!

If the Huatian people saw this, they would probably be dumbfounded.

Li Lan sighed softly.

He naturally understood that Hua Tianqiu wanted to atone for his sins!

The Heavenly Emperor has been gone for countless years, and figures like the Sword Immortal Xiao Xun and the White-Haired War King have vanished without a trace. There are probably very few people in the world who remember their existence...

However, this underground palace was filled with their memorial tablets, and Hua Tianqiu even knelt before the Heavenly Emperor's spirit tablet for a long time!

Li Lan wouldn't have intervened if he hadn't seen through the old man's sorrow and regret.

Fang Caitian's soul had already fallen into a strange state, and he was only one step away from complete annihilation. Li Lan stopped him, also out of pity.

Therefore, he accepted the bow with equanimity, because he knew that this bow was not actually addressed to him, but rather to the former Heavenly Emperor.
