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

"That's not right... Could it be because of the power of reincarnation that you can resist the invasion of yang energy?"

"People of the living world..."

Li Lan, however, pondered the word the big black dog had used and asked, "You mean, is this world we live in just the underworld???"

The big black dog shook its head and said, "I went mad for a while, and I can't remember many things... I can only remember some fragments of words and phrases. If Sister Cat were here, that would be great..."

With a hint of distress in its dog eyes, it muttered, "If I hadn't seen this stone arm, I might not even remember the words 'the mortal realm'?"

……

"I'll take you somewhere."

Within the realm of Zhizhen, there is a small mountain village.

The man led Lin Ruobing to an old well in the village and said, "Look."

Lin Ruobing looked down and saw that there seemed to be a faint moonlight in the ancient well, reflecting another world in a hazy way.

In that world, the stars are dazzling and the universe is boundless!

"what is that?"

Lin Ruobing looked up and asked in surprise.

"The world of the living."

The man spoke calmly, a stone box already in his hand containing a petrified hand. He handed it to her, saying, "Touch it."

Lin Ruobing took the stone box with her left hand and extended her right. The moment she touched the palm, she was burned. She cried out in pain and quickly withdrew her hand, feeling a sense of unease. She asked, "What is this?"

"Yang energy".

The man said, "Only those who have returned to the world of the living, or those who live in the mortal realm, can be fearless of the yang energy atop the stone figure. You were born and raised in the underworld, so naturally you will fear this thing."

"Whether it's you or Li Lan, in this vast Origin Realm, with its endless years, this place is nothing but the underworld. Only reincarnation can save all living beings."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruobing was utterly shocked and exclaimed, "Impossible..."

If the entire Origin Realm and Immortal Realm are just the underworld, then what are they?

Wouldn't all living beings in the world then become ghosts?

They're not human?

"This is the truth that my master saw; there is no lie."

The man said calmly, "Years ago, my master stood before the source and observed the mortal realm for a long time. Later, he even captured a person from the mortal realm and used that person to explore how to bring people from the underworld back to life. This stone palm was left behind after that person from the mortal realm was refined to death."

"Later, my master finally found the way to bring people back to life, and I was the first person to be brought back to life."

"After I returned to the world of the living, my master confirmed that this path was feasible, so he created the underworld and the cycle of reincarnation in order to save all living beings."

"But then many unexpected things happened, and my master disappeared without a trace."

Speaking of events from countless ages ago, a hint of reminiscence and sighing appeared on his face. He then said, "You are a person destined by cause and effect, destined to take on reincarnation and save all living beings. This is your mission. Can your personal feelings for Li Lan outweigh the greater good of the world?"

His voice was calm, but beneath that composure lay an irresistible will...

"Your sister is coming back soon. I've been raising you for so long, and I don't want to give up on you. So, this is your last chance."

"Choose Li Lan, or choose the power of reincarnation?"

He gazed into Lin Ruobing's eyes.

He had already gone to great lengths to get Lin Ruobing to agree to this, and now he even had to tell Lin Ruoxue the most important secret of all time.

Lin Ruobing bit her lower lip tightly. She looked at the world reflected in the ancient well, then suddenly gritted her teeth and threw down the stone box in her hand. The stone hand rolled out, her resolve unwavering.

"I don't care about the underworld or the living world, nor do I care about the common people... Those things have nothing to do with me, I only care about Li Lan!"

"I'm leaving now, sir. Thank you for your guidance over the years. I'm going to find him now!"

After saying that, she quickly left without looking back, heading towards the village entrance.

Watching her retreating figure, a hint of annoyance finally appeared on the man's face. He didn't rush to chase after Lin Ruobing because he knew she couldn't escape.

He stared at the stone palm she had thrown on the ground, frowning for a long time before finally reaching out to pick it up.

He put it back into the stone box and closed the lid again, but his palm was already burned red and rotten!

Success and failure are both driven by compassion.

He murmured and sighed, "You have the deepest bond with Li Lan, and the greatest karmic connection with him. Therefore, you face the least resistance in replacing him, but for this very reason, you are unwilling to be used by me..."

"In that case, we can only resort to another pretense and go through more trouble... The one with whom you have the deepest bond and the greatest karmic connection is your sister."
