Li Fan did not retract the branch, but instead turned to look at the Ghost Ancestor.

The Ghost Ancestor dared not move.

He was scared, truly scared.

Without a doubt, the creature before them was a forbidden being.

Aside from those who are forbidden, no living being could kill a forbidden being in this way, even though Samsara was already weakened to the extreme at this moment.

As for running away, that's practically a joke.

The Soul Master's abilities are strange enough, aren't they!

In the end, he was still hacked to death.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

The Ghost Ancestor lowered his head.

"I have a method; would you like to learn it?"

As soon as Li Fan finished speaking, Ghost Ancestor's pupils shrank.

Transmitting the Dharma?

Or is it enslavement?

Ghost Ancestor's expression became uncertain.

If he were willing to bow down, then the master of this place of rebirth would not be the Soul Lord.

Having finally cultivated himself into a ruler, is it possible for him to become someone's slave?

Impossible!

"I don't want to!"

The Ghost Ancestor raised his head, and a chilling ghostly aura surged from his body.

If there is no freedom, then so be it!

"If you are unwilling, then don't learn it."

However, I can't let you leave just yet; you've seen too much.

Li Fan did not force the issue, but of course, he couldn't let the Ghost Ancestor leave now.

He is not without rivals in this starry sky.

The Immortal Ancestor, the Dragon Ancestor, the Martial Ancestor, and even the Timeless Ancestor who has never appeared could be one of them.

He needs to digest the power of reincarnation and what he left behind.

The Gate of Hell, the City of the Wrongfully Dead, and the Stone of Three Lives.

The Stone of Three Lives!

Li Fan waved his hand, and the branches entwined around the Three Lives Stone fell down.

Mystery.

Finally, we can solve it.

Li Fan reached out and grasped the Three Lives Stone.

......

The battle at the Land of Rebirth ended quickly.

Huang Liang picked up a pen and paper and began to take notes.

Houtu did not linger; she turned around and returned to the tree.

At this moment, Li Fan was lost in thought.

As a relatively small amount of memories flooded back, he easily completed his life's journey.

From the end of the world to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

From the battlefield to the bloodbath of the three realms.

From the Azure Sky Domain to the Chaotic Ancient Domain.

All memories are either of killing or on the path to killing.

From the weak to the strong, from the Middle Ages back to the Ancient Times.

Life is too monotonous.

Of course, monotony isn't necessarily a bad thing.

So now the question is...

Did I... change history?

Although Li Fan didn't know what his past self in the City of the Wrongfully Dead had gone through, he was certain that everything he was experiencing now was different from what his past self in the City of the Wrongfully Dead had gone through.

For example.

Buddha died.

They're completely dead.

Furthermore, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I am certain that I will kill the Immortal Ancestor, the Dragon Ancestor, and the Martial Ancestor.

As for their lineage, it naturally will not be preserved.

So what was the situation like during the Middle Ages?

Will what I'm doing now affect the future?

Li Fan frowned, feeling that things were getting a bit tricky.

To carve out a bright and clear future is certainly a good choice.

But what happens after the killing?

What will the future hold?

Will Old Chen, the Emperor, Yan Mingshu, Nangong Zhenxiang... reappear?

uncertain!

Since even the Forbidden Ones could die in an era in which they were practically invincible, then Old Chen and the others would undoubtedly die as well, perhaps not even living to see the day they were born.

How can we ensure that it won't affect the future?

Li Fan fell into deep thought.

But no answer was received.

He thought for a moment, then handed the Three Lives Stone to Houtu, saying, "Come and take a look!"

Houtu clearly noticed that Li Fan was not in a good state and took the Three Lives Stone.

No response.

No matter what she did, the Three Lives Stone gave no response.

She shook her head.

Is it useless?

Li Fan frowned, recalling another detail.

When I obtained the Three Lives Mirror in the dream world of Dongling, I didn't see any reaction.

Before she looked at it herself, Houtu took a quick look.

If she truly suffered from amnesia at that time, does that mean the Three Lives Mirror can only be used once by those who are forbidden from using it?

Moreover, the clips we saw were all from past experiences!

In the past... yeah!

Whether it's Houtu or themselves, what they see is always the past.

This past is not defined by the river of time; it is merely an extension of memory.

In other words, there are also places that the river of time cannot cover.

If that's the case, is there anything I can do?

Li Fan came up with a concept.

Transcendence!

Transcending life and death, transcending time.

I may not be able to control the future, but can I bring all the living beings I care about out of the river of time?

Unaffected by time, unaffected by the present, detached from worldly affairs, transcending everything?

Is it even possible that I, the one from the City of the Wrongfully Dead, have already embarked on this path?

The stone tablet of the late Emperor, the stone wall with the character "Dao" left by Old Chen, the yellow clay furnace in the Chaotic Ancient Domain...

All signs indicate that Old Chen and the Emperor have mastered the method to travel through the river of time.

So how exactly did they do it?

Or rather, where are they who accomplished all of this?

Zhongtian Star Region?

Do they look alike?

It doesn't look like it!

Chaos!

Li Fan was in a state of confusion.
