Jiao San looked at the Lord of Reincarnation Palace, knowing that he was her father, and a myriad of emotions welled up within her.

However, many of the questions that had plagued her for years were finally answered. She understood why the Lord of the Palace had favored her with guidance, why she had been given so many resources from the Reincarnation Palace to aid her cultivation, and why she had been able to cultivate so smoothly, stepping step by step to where she was today without any major mishaps.

It turned out that she had never been an orphan without parents. It turned out that she had a place of origin and a place to return to. It turned out that her father's love had been with her throughout her growth.

At this thought, Jiao San's eyes turned red, and tears wet her cheeks.

Han Li was also slightly moved by this scene.

His own daughter was right beside him, but he couldn't acknowledge her. Ten or eight years might not be much, but how could one describe the unspeakable pain of thousands of years?

"It's the same for you and Ru Shuang. I dare not have too much contact, lest Gu Huo Jin and Chen Tuan find clues, which would only harm you," the Lord of Reincarnation Palace sighed and said to Han Li.

"Then why did you reveal all this now, and forcibly cram Ru Shuang's memories into Wan'er's consciousness?" Han Li, already believing what the Lord of Reincarnation Palace said, couldn't help but ask.

"Things are different now... I no longer need to hide. I believe that through this action, you have seen my strength. After clearing the hidden dangers in the Reincarnation Palace, it will be time for me to take revenge on Gu Huo Jin. I believe that with your nature of not doing anything without benefit, you will only make up your mind after seeing the methods of my Reincarnation Palace," the Lord of Reincarnation Palace said with a flash of sternness in his eyes.

"Hehe, what a 'jointly討伐敵賊, sincerely invite'... but you shouldn't have dragged Wan'er into this!" Han Li said with a cold smile, his eyes full of anger.

Hearing this, the Lord of Reincarnation Palace suddenly frowned and couldn't help but angrily say:

"She was my first wife, the mother of Jiu Zhen... When I kill Gu Huo Jin and destroy the Heavenly Court, I want her to see it with her own eyes, I want her to know that her sacrifice back then was not in vain, that I did not let her down!"

"She is Nangong Wan, not Gan Ru Shuang, the only Nangong Wan," Han Li said, glaring at him and speaking each word clearly.

"What right do you have to compete with me? In these endless years, I have only had Gan Ru Shuang in my heart, never forgetting for a moment. What about you? Since you already have Zi Ling by your side, what is Nangong Wan to you, what is so unique?" the Lord of Reincarnation Palace coldly rebuked.

Han Li was at a loss for words and could only show a bitter expression.

Seeing this, the Lord of Reincarnation Palace's expression eased slightly, and he said:

"She only has more memories of Ru Shuang now, Nangong Wan's memories are still there. When she sees me defeat Gu Huo Jin, I can take back her memories of Ru Shuang."

"With the memories of two lifetimes, what kind of pain is she enduring? Whether to choose to become Gan Ru Shuang or to choose to be Nangong Wan, it should not be decided by you, nor by me, but only by herself," Han Li said slowly.

"Then so be it. The calculations of the Butian Sect are extraordinary. Your existence and mine, interfering with the Heavenly secrets, allows you to temporarily steal a moment of vitality. Once you advance to the peak of Da Luo, you will no longer be able to hide. Once you are targeted by Gu Huo Jin, he will not tolerate you. Whether you want to live a humble life or join me in reversing the universe, you decide for yourself," the Lord of Reincarnation Palace nodded and said.

"With my current strength, it is difficult to participate in your battle with the Time Dao Ancestor. Perhaps I will fall before I advance to the peak of Da Luo," Han Li said after a long silence.

Seeing this, Jiao San opened her mouth, wanting to persuade Han Li, but was stopped by the Lord of Reincarnation Palace.

"Although our experiences are different, the hardships we have faced along the way are not much different, and even our natures are roughly the same. On the day of my little sister's wedding, I returned to the village, but I did not appear in public. At that time, I thought that I had completely severed all ties with the past and the mortal world, and from then on, I would be a cultivator single-mindedly pursuing the Dao," the Lord of Reincarnation Palace said slowly.

Listening to his words, Han Li's gaze was a little dazed. Back then, he had also returned to the mountain village and saw the scene of his little sister getting on the bridal sedan, and at that time he had the same mindset and the same firm determination to pursue the Dao as the "Han Li" in front of him.

As he thought, the face of the Lord of Reincarnation Palace suddenly became a little blurred.

They were clearly supposed to be the same person, but because of the laws of time and travel, they seemed to have become two people, but something in the dark guided him to come to the True Immortal Realm and cultivate the laws of time.

Han Li did not know how to view their relationship for a moment.

"I know that you have difficulty accepting my existence for a while, but I have after all walked through your life, and I know what kind of future you will face. Although because of my existence, your future may have many variables, you also know what kind of ending Mi Luo had. Back then, I persuaded him to join the Reincarnation Palace, but he insisted on going his own way, thinking that hiding in a corner would be safe... In other words, helping me is helping yourself," the Lord of Reincarnation Palace said.

"Some things... I need to think clearly for myself," Han Li said after a long silence, his mind a little confused.

"Since that's the case, I won't say anything more. Wait until Ru Shuang wakes up and see what she chooses. If she wants to go with you, I won't force her, but do you have the ability to protect her now?" the Lord of Reincarnation Palace said.

"There's no need to wait. Now Wan'er has been involved because of you. Even if I keep her by my side now, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect her. She... might be safer by your side," Han Li shook his head and said.

"Very well," the Lord of Reincarnation Palace said after a moment of hesitation.

Han Li took a deep look at Nangong Wan in Jiao San's arms, seeing the knots still in her brows and a trace of reluctance in her eyes, then turned around and walked towards the outside of the palace.

"You came here to use the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk, why not use it before you leave?" the Lord of Reincarnation Palace said.

Hearing this, Han Li stopped and turned back.

"Jiu Zhen, take your mother away first," the Lord of Reincarnation Palace glanced at Jiao San and said.

"Yes, Father," Jiao San said with a complicated expression, looking at the Lord of the Palace, then at Han Li, picked up Nangong Wan, and turned to walk into the inner hall, leaving.

A hint of joy that was not easily detected flashed in the eyes of the Lord of Reincarnation Palace, but it disappeared immediately. With a wave of his palm, the dark red spirit domain was withdrawn.

"Bring them in," he said.

Han Li did not say much, and immediately used sound transmission to inform Ti Hun and Zi Ling.

When the figures of Zi Ling and the others appeared in the hall, the "Han Li" who transcended time and reincarnation had put on his hat again, and all his aura was covered, turning back into the Lord of Reincarnation Palace who was shrouded in clouds and mist, unrecognizable to anyone.

"Let's go," the Lord of Reincarnation Palace said indifferently, and turned to walk towards the back hall.

Han Li nodded to the others and did not explain what happened in the hall, but just signaled them to follow.

Seeing that Han Li's face was a little dignified, Zi Ling felt a little worried, took a few steps closer, and followed behind him. Ti Hun also noticed something was wrong, but did not ask anything.

Jin Tong called out "Uncle," and seeing that Han Li did not answer, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he followed.

Shi Chuan Kong looked deeply at the back of the Lord of Reincarnation Palace, feeling that he looked familiar, but could not remember where he had seen him for a moment.

The group followed the Lord of Reincarnation Palace down the secret passage in the back hall all the way to the open underground space.

Coming to the center of the stone platform, everyone saw the huge Reincarnation Disk suspended in mid-air and the dark red pool below.

"The Six Paths Reincarnation Disk is a secret treasure involving the laws of reincarnation. Using it not only consumes the laws of reincarnation, but is also related to the fate of the user. Not everyone can benefit from it. If you immerse yourself in it and become entangled with your past lives, you may even be burdened by reincarnation, and your realm may not increase but decrease. Whether you want to use it or not, think carefully," the Lord of Reincarnation Palace said.

Hearing this, Zi Ling and the others frowned, and a hint of hesitation flashed on their faces. Jin Tong, however, showed a look of pleasant surprise.

"The past is all in the past, I don't want to be burdened by it, I won't use this Six Paths Reincarnation Disk," Ti Hun suddenly stepped out and said first.

Seeing this, Jin Tong and the others all showed surprised expressions.

The Lord of Reincarnation Palace silently looked at Ti Hun, and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes covered by the black veil.

"Thank you, Lord of the Palace," Zi Ling said after hesitating for a moment, her expression returning to normal, stepping forward.

The Lord of Reincarnation Palace did not object, but pointed to the pool below the Reincarnation Disk and said indifferently, "Go in."

Zi Ling came to the edge of the pool, took a deep breath, picked up her skirt, and slowly walked in.

The water in the pool was unexpectedly not very cold, and soon it reached her chest.

Zi Ling only felt a blur in front of her eyes, and her consciousness gradually became a little dazed. Then she fell asleep and leaned backward, floating on the surface of the pool.

The Lord of Reincarnation Palace put his hands together in front of him, and a chant sounded from his mouth. He pointed to the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk from afar, and a vast force of reincarnation spread out.

The Six Paths Reincarnation Disk then howled and rotated, casting a red beam of light from it, enveloping Zi Ling.

Immediately afterward, Zi Ling's body slowly sank into the pool.

...

About an incense stick of time later, a series of dense bubbles suddenly rose from the pool on the ground. Zi Ling, who was sleeping in it, suddenly woke up, rushed out from under the surface of the water, and landed not far from the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk.

Her whole body was soaked in water, and she stood there, her beautiful eyes seeming to have lost focus, her pupils slightly contracting, seeming to be staring at the ground, but her mind was clearly not there.

Han Li flashed and appeared behind her, raising a palm and gently pressing it on her shoulder.

"Zi Ling," he called softly.

Zi Ling's delicate body trembled slightly, and she slowly raised her head to look at Han Li, staring at his face carefully as if she was seeing him for the first time. Then, the light gradually returned to her pupils.

"Han Li..."

After calling softly, she suddenly opened her arms and hugged Han Li, burying her face in his chest.

Han Li lowered his head and glanced at the person in his arms. Although his emotions were complex, he still gently hugged her, stroking her shoulders gently, giving her the gentlest comfort.

However, Zi Ling's clothes were soaked all over, and they were all attached to her skin. At this moment, she was tightly leaning on Han Li and quickly noticed the abnormality. Her ears became slightly hot, and she withdrew from Han Li's embrace.

Immediately afterward, a flash of light passed over her body, and all the moisture on her clothes had evaporated.
