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

Xun Yuan Tianjun, however, said: "No!"

"After the True Dragon Clan left, the Ten Thousand Mountain Range was preserved and not damaged. The real problem occurred a few years ago!"

He then recounted how the Thousand Rivers Land had used the Tengshe Water-Drawing Method to absorb all the source energy of the Ten Thousand Mountain Range.

However, he didn't mention the Li family much in his description, but focused on the Qianchuanyuan clan!

Long Wanchuan was initially taken aback. How arrogant was that Black Emperor back then? Yet he actually didn't destroy the Ten Thousand Yuan Mountain Range!

Could it be that the Black Emperor, who had long since gone mad, regained his sanity at the last moment? That's impossible!

Immediately afterward, a look of anger flashed across his face:

"How dare a mere human force covet my ancestral land!"

They could only accept being destroyed by that incomparably powerful Black Emperor.

To have it taken away by humans... that is the greatest disgrace!

……

In the vast gray fog.

"You two have finally arrived."

Beside an ancient, dilapidated altar, Lin Ruoxue stood calmly, with an aged, ghostly figure beside her!

Two humanoid gray mist creatures emerged from this altar.

"Brother Yu insisted on leaving the Origin Realm back then, but now even his physical body is gone. What was the point?"

One of the creatures sighed.

Another person said, "The Black Emperor has long since gone mad. Brother Yu's insistence on following him is nothing but a delusion. It would be better to return to the Origin Realm. The lords of the Abyss Realm will not forget your efforts in plotting the alienation of the Immortal Realm all these years."

But the illusory figure beside Lin Ruoxue simply shook its head and said, "No, there are some things I must find the Black Emperor to resolve my doubts."

"Brother Luo, Brother Qi, I've come to ask for your help!"

"You two have met the Black Emperor before. I would like to ask you to investigate someone who claims to be the Black Emperor's special envoy, but I doubt his identity!"

Upon hearing this, both creatures were startled.

"The Black Emperor is still alive?"

"His special envoy? That... is rather unusual!"

The two exchanged a glance and nodded: "Where is that person now? Since it concerns the Black Emperor, we naturally need to see if it's true or not!"

……

A land of a thousand rivers.

Li Lan came out to greet him, and Shangguan Xiaoxiao had been waiting for him outside for a long time.

"You came."

Li Lan spoke.

"I didn't expect you to come?" Shangguan Xiaoxiao smiled.

"did not expect."

Is there anything in this world you can't imagine?

Shangguan Xiaoxiao said leisurely, "What, won't you invite me to sit in the Thousand Rivers Land? Great Clan Chief, I am also from the Abyss Realm. In a sense, I am also a member of the Abyss Clan."

Li Lan smiled and said, "Please!"

The two entered the Land of a Thousand Rivers and walked side by side along the stream. They did not speak, but remained silent, appreciating the scenery of the Land of a Thousand Rivers.

"The sunset view from that mountain peak must be absolutely stunning."

Shangguan Xiaoxiao looked at a green peak, and the two climbed the mountain. However, since there was still some time before sunset, they sat down.

"Green are your robes, deep is my longing; for you alone, I have pondered until now."

"The reeds are green and the dew is white as frost; the one I long for is on the other side of the water."

"The mighty river flows eastward, its waves sweeping away countless heroes of the past..."

She suddenly started reciting some poems haphazardly, reciting them all in one go, and then stopped and said, "Sometimes I wonder if you had another life."

Li Lan smiled and asked, "Why?"

"How could so many poems, so many stories of joy and sorrow, love and hate, so much helplessness, unfulfilled ambitions and triumphant progress, all come from the pen of the same person?"

"Unless this person has experienced all of these things, and has not felt the grief of losing his wife, how could he feel the melancholy of seeing the tree he planted years ago now grow tall and spreading like a canopy?"

"Without the tragic grandeur of being powerless to reverse the tide, how could there be the final lament of knowing that all things are empty upon death, but grieving that the land of China cannot be unified?"

"Without breathtaking love, how can there be the awe-inspiring feeling of a silkworm spinning silk until death and a candle burning until it is ash?"

She looked at Li Lan, her stunningly beautiful face displaying a bright smile tinged with curiosity and a touch of sadness, and asked, "So, you really don't find it hard being all alone?"
