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

"what!"

With a piercing scream, Gu Ling was instantly killed.

Everyone in the room was filled with anxiety, not knowing what had happened.

"From this day forward, I shall be your master."

"Light smoke," she said softly.

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, and Princess Zhuiyue was the first to kneel down, saying, "Greetings, Master!"

The others hurriedly followed, saying, "Greetings, Master!"

Qingyan nodded, and with a wave of her hand, everyone stood up. After arranging many things, she dismissed everyone, leaving only Zhuiyue behind.

"Did you and the new master of reincarnation have some karmic connection?"

Light smoke asked a question.

Zhuiyue didn't know what Qingyan meant, so she could only say, "Zhuiyue was once married to him... but later, it was all a twist of fate, a cruel joke."

"It's not fate that plays tricks on us, but rather the choices we make that shape our own destiny."

Qingyan smiled slightly, seeing the resentment deep in Zhuiyue's heart, and asked, "Do you regret it?"

If you were given the chance to choose again, what would you choose?

Zhuiyue suddenly looked up at her.

"Don't misunderstand. Your fate with the new master of reincarnation has come to an end. But if you want to get rid of your servant status and even one day stand on your own in the world, perhaps there is still a sliver of a chance. Are you willing to seize it?"

Qingyan was once the leader of the Patching Sky Clan, a perfect being created by the goddess who patched the sky. She had also led countless armies, so she naturally possessed the art and ability of a leader.

She will need some trusted confidants for her future plans.

Currently, Zhuiyue is at least a suitable candidate.

……

Seven days later, Li Lan left Kaizhou and entered another large state—Lingzhou.

This place is far more prosperous than Shizhou, with numerous large cities boasting populations of over a million. Upon entering the city, one encounters eerie creatures roaming the streets, making it seem remarkably similar to cities in the celestial realm or the human world.

There are also various shops, etc.

Li Lan paid a small amount of exotic crystals and then waited to board the teleportation array to the Pure Land State.

The Origin Realm is too vast, with each province being extremely expansive. It would probably take several years to fly to the Pure Land Province on your own!

It took nearly a day for Li Lan to finally emerge from the teleportation array after the spatial transformation.

"We have arrived at Pure Land Prefecture."

This is also a huge city called Tai Ling City. The city is very prosperous and full of strange cultivators. Li Lan found a restaurant and stopped to inquire about various information.

"The Lord of Reincarnation has already joined the War Alliance. According to the War Alliance's ancestral teachings, he should succeed as the Alliance Leader!"

"What's the rush? He's in seclusion right now. When he comes out, all nine alliances will come to form an alliance and witness the ceremony. This is a major event for our War Alliance!"

"Indeed, although the War Alliance is one of the top ten alliances, it has been looked down upon by other alliances in recent years. With the return of the Lord of Reincarnation, the War Alliance will surely regain its glory!"

Many people were discussing it. The return of the Lord of Reincarnation was the biggest event in the War Alliance, so everyone knew about it.

"That Li Lan is ultimately just a flesh-and-blood being from the Immortal Realm. Is he strong enough...?"

"Hehe, is that even a question? Haven't you heard of the Battle of Heaven and Abyss? Three peerless geniuses from the Immortal Alliance were all defeated by him. The person personally chosen by the White Emperor can be called the strongest genius of the era!"

"How does he compare to Young Master Yongdao of the War Alliance?"

"Young Master Yongdao is the number one genius of the War Alliance. Compared with the new master of Samsara... he is probably not comparable."

"Yes, we're all from the same family, so there's no point in competing..."

News is circulating widely.

Just as Li Lan had guessed, within the War Alliance, in order to stabilize the nine major alliances, they publicly announced that Li Lan was in seclusion.

They must be anxiously searching for Li Lan, right?

"I've heard a rumor that people from other alliances say the Lord of Reincarnation may not have returned to the alliance back then, but rather had an accident on the way... Recently, people from the nine major alliances have been coming to test us, which is likely because they suspect this."

"How could that be! The Celestial Venerable Zhanmeng personally welcomed him back, how could it be false?"

Another piece of news spread throughout the venue.

Li Lan's heart sank slightly. When news from the upper echelons could become gossip and spread to every corner of the streets, it meant that the Nine Alliances were probably already impatient.
