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

Chapter 2078

He already knew how to move forward.

Since I am not recognized, I will cultivate my own path.

Since the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth will not come to me on its own initiative, I will forcibly absorb it and become a plunderer of Heaven and Earth.

At this moment, Li Lan suddenly asked:

"Senior, you possess such great strength, so why did you die back then? And why did you imprison yourself in this world?"

Upon hearing Li Lan's question, the old man sighed.

He looked up at the endless sky and slowly said:

"Like most people, I cultivate the Tao to attain immortality and constantly pursue higher realms."

"It's just that my path is more unique and broader than others, and I've also gone further."

"When my cultivation reached the level of a high god, I was only one step away from becoming a supreme god."

"But in the end, I still failed."

hiss~

Upon hearing this, Li Lan couldn't help but gasp.

Unexpectedly, the old man in front of me had actually reached the realm of the Supreme God. Although he did not succeed in the end, there was absolutely no problem in calling him the number one person below the Supreme God.

"Senior, why did you ultimately fail?"

The old man paused for a moment, snorted coldly, and finally said:

"Heh, only after I reached that point did I finally realize that even the supreme god was nothing more than that."

"Even if I had taken that final step and reached the realm of the supreme god, I would probably have been forever denied immortality in this life."

"The same is true for the four supreme gods now. Although they have entered the supreme realm, they cannot live forever and will die one day."

"That's why I didn't take that first step to break through the bottleneck of the higher gods and become like those four."

"What I seek is the true path to immortality, not merely having a high level of attainment that ultimately leads only to watching oneself grow old and die."

Li Lan detected a hint of sorrow in the old man's voice.

The old man seemed to harbor deep resentment towards this world, hating its injustice in not granting anyone immortality.

Just then, Li Lan suddenly spoke up:

"Senior, aren't you already living forever?"

"Constantly reincarnating, constantly gaining insights, and not being bound by fate."

The old man gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"I have only been comprehending the Great Dao through repeated reincarnations, but even so, I can only slightly increase my lifespan and am far from achieving immortality."

"And by doing this, I not only fall into a state of madness from time to time, but I also slowly lose some of my memories."

"Perhaps the end of this cycle is to become an ordinary person, lose all memories, and eventually fade into obscurity."

The old man sighed deeply, knowing that even though he had refused to become the supreme god, he still hadn't found a way to achieve immortality.

He lamented the injustice of heaven and earth and the ruthlessness of the world.

Li Lan sensed the sadness and helplessness in the old man. After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly said:

"Senior, could you teach me the method of reincarnation you created?"

Hearing Li Lan's words, the old man glanced at him sideways and said:

"Young man, you're so young, do you want to end up like this old man, all senile and foolish?"

Li Lan smiled and shook her head, saying:

"Of course not."

"Didn't you say that I am an anomaly in this world, and that I have never been recognized by the world?"

"If that's the case, perhaps after learning your method of reincarnation, I will be able to gain some different insights."

"As for the safety of this junior, senior need not worry. I have even endured the pain of reshaping my physical body, so why would I worry about the desolation of reincarnation?"

In truth, Li Lan was still somewhat worried. If he really did become a mortal being constantly reincarnated, just like the old man in front of him, that would be terrible.

But he didn't think his luck was that bad. It was just a spell, how could it be more painful than reshaping his physical body?

Seeing Li Lan's confident demeanor, the old man was reminded of his own youth.
