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

Chapter 2076

Upon hearing this, the old man was stunned for a moment, finally stopped his repair work, and looked at Li Lan behind him.

"Boy, I'm standing right here, where am I supposed to go to die? And who dares to take my life?"

"Moreover, I have lived on the divine island for countless years and have no attachment to the outside world. Why would I take you as my last disciple?"

"Although you are quite talented and have some of my former demeanor, I have no interest in any of these things. Before I change my mind, I advise you to leave here as soon as possible."

Li Lan still showed no intention of leaving, and continued speaking:

"Senior, if you are not dead, why don't you leave this place?"

"This place is exceptionally quiet, suitable for a senior like you to live here for a long time."

"But I can still sense the incompleteness of the Great Dao rules in the world. If you live here for a long time, even someone as powerful as you will suffer from many flaws."

"So you must be unable to leave, which is why you chose to stay here."

"Moreover, senior, please don't forget that I come from the Great Black Heaven, where ghosts roam freely. I am extremely sensitive to the aura of ghosts, which is why I was able to determine that you are already dead and that what remains now is just a wisp of your soul."

“Most remnant souls remain in the world seeking an opportunity to be reborn, but I feel that you have long since taken life and death lightly and do not care about being reborn at all.”

"In that case, there is only one possibility: you still have unfulfilled wishes."

Li Lan was confident that his guess was correct; at the very least, the fact that the old man had been dead for a long time was not wrong.

Upon hearing Li Lan's explanation, the old man immediately became interested.

Fortunately, they stopped repairing the divine island and instead looked at Li Lan with great interest, saying:

"Kid, what do you want from me? Tell me, and I can't guarantee I'll agree."

After the old man pointed out his thoughts, Li Lan no longer concealed them and immediately said:

"I have something I would like to ask you, senior."

"From the exchange just now, senior must have already seen that I have the bloodline of a Void Divine Beast."

“I have indeed seen the corpse of the Void Beast, and I even obtained the inheritance of the Void Beast lineage from his corpse.”

Upon hearing this, the old man's eyes immediately showed some surprise.

"As expected, it seems my judgment is as sharp as ever."

“Boy, now that you’ve received the inheritance, there’s even less reason for you to stay here.”

"The divine essence of a Void Beast usually does not dissipate after death, and you have already qualified to ascend to godhood."

Hearing the old man's words, Li Lan's doubts deepened, and he hurriedly said:

“Senior, when I received the inheritance of the Void Divine Beast, I did not discover its divine essence at all.”

Upon hearing this, the old man was stunned.

He quickly realized what was happening and went straight to Li Lan's side to examine her body.

After a while, the old man finally released Li Lan's hand, though a hint of doubt lingered between his brows.

"How could this be? This shouldn't be happening!"

"Boy, are you sure that besides the essence blood of that Void Divine Beast and a cultivation technique, there's nothing else?"

Li Lan nodded very seriously; he was absolutely certain.

"That's weird."

"Logically speaking, if the inheritance of the Void Divine Beast is still intact, then its divine essence must also have been preserved."

"But why didn't you inherit it? Could it be that even after the Void Beast dies, it can still discern your character?"

Li Lan's face immediately darkened, and he said coldly:

"Senior, please don't joke with me."

Seeing Li Lan's humiliation, the old man immediately burst into laughter, and then said:

"Boy, show me the spell of the Void Beast."

Upon hearing this, Li Lan did not hesitate at all and immediately unleashed Void Annihilation on the void above his head.

As usual, the area covered by the spell collapsed continuously, eventually turning into nothingness.

"Sigh~"

After seeing Li Lan use his magic, the old man frowned even more deeply.

"Senior, is there any problem with the inheritance of this Void Divine Beast?"

The old man paused for a long time before slowly saying:

"The problem isn't with the technique itself, but with you as a person."

Li Lan initially thought the old man was joking with him again, but the old man's next words left Li Lan stunned.

"When you cast your spell, no spirits of heaven and earth gathered around you. Didn't you notice that?"

Upon hearing this, Li Lan was momentarily stunned.

How can this be?

Without the convergence of the spirits of heaven and earth, he simply could not cast the spell.

"Senior, what do you mean by that? I'm a little confused."

The old man's expression became somewhat serious, and then he seemed a little excited.

"Boy, where exactly do you come from? It's definitely not just from the Great Black Heaven. Tell me now."

Upon hearing this, Li Lan was immediately startled.

However, in order to solve her own problem, Li Lan told him the truth.

Not only that, Li Lan also told the old man in front of him about how he reconstructed his physical body in the void, hoping that he could get some useful information from it.

"No wonder, no wonder!"

After a long while, the old man finally spoke.

"Your original Great Dao rules were insufficient and you could not adapt to the Great Dao rules of the Four Heavens, which is why you were suppressed and could not reach the proper realm."

"I never expected you to have the audacity to reshape your physical body in order to complete your Great Dao. Aren't you afraid of being crushed and destroyed by the merciless rules of the Great Dao?"

Li Lan smiled faintly and said:

"All I know is that's the path I need to take, nothing more."

Upon hearing this, the old man couldn't help but laugh.

"Good lad, I admire your character."

"However, the path you've chosen will likely lead to a dead end in the end."

"I have seen geniuses before who reconstructed their physical bodies and shattered everything in order to rebuild their Dao, but without exception, they all perished."

Upon hearing this, Li Lan was immediately stunned.

It turns out that someone else is also pursuing the Great Dao, just like him. It seems that he's not the only oddball in this world.

"Senior, why did they all perish? Could it be that this path was never meant to be passable?"

The old man chuckled softly, but he wasn't laughing at him; he was mocking the entire world.

There were no roads in this world originally; they were created by the many people who walked on them.

"So there is no dead end, it's just that no one is using it."

“But your situation is still somewhat different from those cultivators I have seen who have rebuilt their great paths.”

"Even if they rebuild the Great Road, it's only to make their own path forward more solid and wider."

“But you are different. Your path is too wide, so wide that even this world cannot contain it.”

Li Lan was immediately puzzled and asked again:

"Senior, what do you mean?"

The old man chuckled softly:

"Kid, no matter how others rebuild their paths, at least their paths are built under this world."

“If such a road is laid out in the Four Heavens World, it will gain the recognition of this world, thereby receiving countless assistance and reducing a lot of trouble.”

"But your path, whether before or after the reconstruction, has never been recognized by this world."
