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

Especially those from the Tianxia Alliance, everyone's faces were frozen in shock, as if petrified!

That's the Celestial Mystery Elder...

A top-tier powerhouse comparable to the Black Dog and the Ninth Emperor, currently the strongest fighter in the World Alliance besides Yang Yi.

Just like that... he perished?

"The Celestial Mystery Elder was killed by Li Lan... How is that possible!"

"The Heavenly Mystery Elder is one of the five most powerful masters in the world. Li Lan is merely a bewildered, upper-level being. Let alone killing the Heavenly Mystery Elder, he couldn't even possibly injure him..."

"But, a radiant feather fell from the sky, containing fragments of the Great Dao and the Heavenly Road. This truly is the scene of a great figure's demise!"

Countless people murmured, still unable to believe it!

Even Bai Ruoling, Jin Muyun, Li Yue, Mo Tian and others were completely shocked at this moment, feeling as if everything in front of them was a dream.

After all, the name "Old Man of Heavenly Secrets" represents far too much.

Even in the Origin Realm, where powerful beings abound, he remains an insurmountable mountain.

Now, the mountain has collapsed!

Li Lan, however, remained calm and indifferent. He surveyed the room with a cool and detached expression and said:

"Follow me to conquer the Realm of Truth once more. Even if you die in battle, there is a sliver of hope that you will survive and see the true other shore. Or, I will slaughter you all now. You... choose for yourselves."

……

Life or death?

Li Lan's words rang out calmly in the sky, entering the hearts of everyone, yet they seemed to become a decree of immense weight, leaving no room for any thought of resistance!

Now, in everyone's eyes, Li Lan is like an unparalleled god or Buddha.

The demise of the Celestial Mystery Elder established Li Lan's supreme position.

"Even the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets is dead, but he... may still have the ability to reclaim the cycle of reincarnation."

"Conquering the Realm of Truth might lead to death, but it's better than dying now..."

The crowd murmured.

"Tian Changqing...is willing to serve you as my master, and from now on, I will serve you faithfully and risk my life for you!"

The first one to speak was actually Tian Changqing, who had crawled out of the huge pit!

He knelt on the ground, his whole body trembling.

When he was defeated by Li Lan, his Dao heart was completely shattered.

When he saw that the old man of the Heavenly Secrets was dead, he could no longer muster any hope.

The crowd's expressions were incredibly complex. Tian Changqing was the Right Envoy of the World Alliance, a man of high status, and had once supported Lin Ruoxue, the leader of the World Alliance... Now he had so decisively turned against them...

"Qin Juan of the Wind and Thunder Alliance is willing to follow the Lord of Reincarnation and fight again in the Realm of Truth!"

Qin Juan stepped forward and said loudly, "Our alliance has been lying low for many days, waiting for this day. Now, after much anticipation, you have finally returned!"

"We, the Extreme Yin Alliance, swear to follow the Lord of Reincarnation to the death!"

"The Creation Alliance has never truly submitted; their previous actions were merely a temporary expedient. Now that the true Lord of Reincarnation has returned, we will naturally follow!"

Everyone spoke one after another.

The reason why the major alliances were forced to join the World Alliance and become its subordinates was simply because they feared Yang Yi in the Realm of Truth under the prevailing circumstances.

For them, it doesn't matter who they side with. They followed Li Lan to the Realm of Truth for profit, and were later forced to join the World Alliance to survive. Now that Li Lan is powerful enough, it's just a matter of going with the flow to side with him again.

"Pass on my order: three days from now, attack and kill the World Alliance, and annihilate Lin Ruoxue and Yang Yi!"

Li Lan said calmly, "Those who abandon darkness and embrace light within three days will be spared!"

He was well-versed in the art of struggle and the art of power. Now that he had just returned and his power was not yet consolidated, if he rashly launched an attack, he would not only be facing Lin Ruoxue and Yang Yi, but also all the major alliances that had joined the World Alliance. They would all be forced to serve Lin Ruoxue to the death because of Li Lan, this external threat.

Instead, it helped Lin Ruoxue unite the team.

Therefore, we must strike a balance. Today we kill Tianji Elder and take in Tian Changqing and the others, and then give them three more days. In this way, those who submit to Lin Ruoxue will inevitably become disloyal, and the Tianxia Alliance will be more likely to fall apart, with much less resistance.
