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

"Is this the primordial world?"

The Gobi Desert was desolate, with all kinds of plants withered and broken. If Li Lan had not sensed the faint aura of primordial matter, he probably would have thought this place was a dead land with no human habitation.

The original tribes lived here?

"Why do you think the original races liked to go to the Eternal True Realm? It's too desolate here, there's not even anything to eat."

The big black dog spoke up, saying, "Let's go, there's no time to lose, let's go and dig up the ancestral graves of the seven great clans."

Its eyes were already brimming with eager anticipation and barely concealed excitement:

"They would never have imagined that I, the Emperor, would not only not remain in the Eternal True Realm, but would instead strike straight at their heart and reach their lair!"

Immediately, Li Lan followed the big black dog and moved quickly. Two days later, they stood on a field covered in yellow dust. In front of them was a sloping valley with a clear spring flowing out from it.

On both sides of the stream, there are a dozen or so dilapidated dwellings, which look like temporary thatched yurts built by nomadic people, leaning precariously.

It has long been without an owner.

"Was this place once a source of primordial matter?"

However, Li Lan was surprised. When he entered, he found that the stream still retained the original aura.

However, the end of the stream has been dug out.

Clearly, a cultivation group once lived here, relying on primordial minerals for sustenance. When the resources were depleted, they migrated, leaving behind these ruins.

"Is this the ancestral tomb of the seven major clans you mentioned?"

Li Lan asked a question.

"of course not."

The big black dog smiled leisurely and said, "This place was originally a branch of the First Clan, who lived here for generations. Later, I found them and captured them all to work as miners. This place was also hollowed out."

"Then what's the point of you coming here?" Li Lan asked, puzzled.

The big black dog said, "You don't understand... The ancestral mountain of the First Clan is extraordinary and difficult to approach. We must first disguise ourselves!"

“From this day forward, you are the sole survivor of the First Clan’s collateral branch.”

"If I'm not mistaken, someone will be coming for you soon..."

Li Lan didn't know what the big black dog was up to, but she was too lazy to ask, so she pretended to be a dog as the big black dog instructed.

He cultivated and lived here day after day, and gradually became like a rough, wild man, his skin turning dark.

Finally, two months have passed.

"Where are the twelve branches? The main branch summons you; come out quickly to receive them—"

A voice came, and a person riding a giant flying bird appeared in the sky above the Gobi Desert. He held a command arrow and was already in front of Li Lan.

"Where are the twelfth branch? Why are you the only one left?"

The visitor was surprised to see Li Lan.

Following his prepared explanation, Li Lan sighed softly and said, "Several years ago, a strange thing erupted in the primordial mine, wiping out my entire clan. Only I was lucky enough to escape..."

Upon hearing this, the newcomer was startled and immediately took action to examine Li Lan's condition. However, upon sensing the aura of shared origin between the Ancestral Demon and Li Lan, he no longer had any doubts.

"Your branch has not been in contact with the main lineage for many years, and I never expected such a tragic change to happen... What is your name?"

Li Lan said, "The first is Heng."

The man nodded: "Your qi and blood are abundant, which meets the requirements... There is no point in staying here. I am the main clan's guide, and you should obey the clan's decree and follow me."

Li Lan immediately showed excitement, bowed slightly, and said, "Yes, sir."

Seeing this, the man revealed a cold smile. Sure enough, these people from the collateral branches were overjoyed to hear that they could go to the main sect.

He immediately urged the giant bird to lie down, and Li Lan followed him onto its back. The bird's huge wings flapped and it soared into the sky, quickly passing through the clouds at an extremely fast speed.

It wasn't until evening that Li Lan saw a huge city, which was entirely built of black stones.

Even a single glance from afar evokes a startling illusion, as if the city were a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, a hellish pagoda, unapproachable to anyone.
