"You are you, and I am me. Like you, I was born in that remote mountain village in the Mortal Realm. Like you, I watched the thatched roofs and mud-caked black rooftops grow. I had the same parents and siblings, the same mortal background... and ultimately, like you, I left that place, endured countless hardships, sought a trace of immortal fate, and finally ascended to this True Immortal Realm." The Lord of Samsara remained expressionless, speaking slowly.

Han Li finally calmed down a bit. A possibility occurred to him, and he asked, "It's impossible for there to be two Han Lis, unless you are a product of my time travel?"

In Han Li's view, unless he traveled through time to the present day, and two of himself appeared in this space-time, how could the person before him be cultivating Samsara cultivation methods?

"No, even if you travel through time, you can't stay for long. The Law Threads that distort space-time will eventually run out, and the body will always return to its original space-time. You can't be me." Han Li quickly shook his head and said.

"Indeed, we are born at different times from the same origin. I am not a product of your time travel, but to me, you are like a product of my time travel." The Lord of Samsara remained expressionless, his gaze calm as water, as he spoke slowly.

Han Li raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, his eyes flashing with doubt, and then he became angry.

Although the path of immortality was long, he had already walked through an incredibly long period of time, but he still vaguely remembered the various events of the Mortal Realm and the Spirit Realm.

Qu Hun, Mo Daifu, Li Feiyu, Yin Yue, Yuan Yao, Dayan Divine Monarch, Bao Hua... those who he had met, those events he had experienced, were all engraved in his bones, and he had personally dealt with them one by one.

If he was a product of the Lord of Samsara's time travel, wouldn't all these memories just be memories?

"Impossible, absolutely impossible... You cultivate Samsara Laws, how could you know anything about space-time travel? In my opinion, all your words are lies, no... all this before me is an illusion!" Han Li shook his head and said.

As he spoke, a dim purple light shone brightly in his eyes, and the Nine Nether Devil Eyes were activated to the extreme, surveying his surroundings. Unfortunately, the surrounding scenery remained the same, without the slightest change.

"Senior Bottle Spirit, Senior Bottle Spirit... take me away from here, time travel, anywhere is fine, just get me out of here..." Han Li cried out in his heart, his mind in extreme turmoil.

"Han Li..." At this moment, a clear voice suddenly rang in Han Li's mind, it was the Bottle Spirit's voice.

Han Li was slightly stunned, and his fluctuating emotions suddenly calmed down.

"He didn't lie to you. Not only you, but even I am considered a product of his time travel. After he traveled back to the past, tens of millions of years passed, and another Han Li was born in the small village by the mountainside, and that is you today." The Bottle Spirit's words struck Han Li like a sharp sword, causing his heart to tighten.

"What exactly is going on?" Han Li had never felt so lost, and murmured.

"I started in the Mortal Realm, grew up in the Spirit Realm, and relied on my Four Spiritual Roots aptitude to eventually embark on the path of immortality through hard work... When I finally reached the peak of cultivating the Laws of Time, I threatened the position of Time Dao Ancestor, Gu Huo Jin... In the end, during the decisive battle with him, my strength was insufficient, and I failed. Just as I was about to be suppressed and killed by him, I scattered all my life's worth of the Laws of Time, used up all the Time Dao Runes and Threads, and gathered this vast amount of Time energy, which was rarely seen throughout the ages, into this Palm Heaven Bottle. After that, the small bottle generated the true effect of reversing space and time for the first time, carrying me back through the endless years, back to a past even more distant than the distant past." A dim light finally appeared in the calm gaze of the Lord of Samsara as he slowly spoke.

"His Laws of Time energy were poured into the Palm Heaven Bottle back then, and a series of changes occurred. My spiritual intelligence was born, but it was very weak at the time, and it took a long time before I finally transformed into the Bottle Spirit." At this time, the Bottle Spirit also added.

Han Li completely calmed down upon hearing this. After pondering for a long time, he said:

"So, in that case... I am me, and you are you. You and I have each experienced different paths of cultivation."

"You can think of it that way. Because I underwent unprecedented time travel, many of your later experiences, perhaps because of my existence, should have undergone tremendous changes, just like Gan Ru Xue, who you were supposed to meet, became Nangong Wan. Your connection with the Demon Race, the Gray Realm, and even the Savage Desolate Realm is far deeper than mine back then. It can be said that from the moment we entered the Immortal Realm, the divergence in our paths has become greater and greater, almost like two lifetimes." The Lord of Samsara said.

"But how did you become the current Lord of Samsara?" Han Li asked, his brows deeply furrowed.

"I traveled to an era far before you were born, and all my Laws of Time energy were abandoned, and I almost became a cripple. And what despairing me was that Gu Huo Jin had already occupied the position of Time Dao Ancestor at that time. If I continued to cultivate the Laws of Time, the result would still be defeat at his hands. So I turned to cultivate the Laws of Samsara, and that's how I became who I am today," replied the Lord of Samsara.

"Then what about me and my mother?" Jiao San, whose mind was no less shaken than Han Li's, asked with a pale face.

The Lord of Samsara turned to look at her and Nangong Wan, his gaze softening.

"Shortly after your mother gave birth to you, Gu Huo Jin arrived. In order to buy us time to escape, your mother sacrificed herself and sealed only a portion of her Samsara energy in your body. And I, in order to protect you, used the Laws of Time to seal you in a jade pendant Immortal artifact, and retreated while fighting Gu Huo Jin. But in the end, there was no way to retreat, so I had no choice but to activate the Palm Heaven Bottle, hoping to shatter it with all my life's worth of the Laws of Time, and exchange a mutual destruction with Gu Huo Jin..." said the Lord of Samsara.

"You were carrying me with you back then?" Jiao San asked in disbelief.

"I was already desperate at the time, and I thought that you and I, father and daughter, would be annihilated together, but I didn't expect the small bottle to give birth to the Bottle Spirit because of this, and it also created unprecedented abilities such as time travel, which caused me to truly travel to the past, and instead escape the pursuit of the Time Dao Ancestor," said the Lord of Samsara.

"Jiao San traveled with you?" Han Li's eyes flashed, surprised.

"That's right." The Lord of Samsara nodded and said.

"Your words, although wildly imaginative, are full of loopholes and are not worth believing at all," Han Li said, taking a deep breath.

Jiao San also looked at the Lord of Samsara with an expression of disbelief.

"If Jiao San traveled with you to the distant past, with her aptitude, how could she be at her current level? How could treasures like the Palm Heaven Bottle escape you and be lost in one place? The Time Dao Ancestor is a person standing at the pinnacle of time, you can travel through time, why can't he?" Han Li asked in one breath, like pouring out beans.

"Before I answer your last question, let me ask you a question first, do you know what exactly the Palm Heaven Bottle is?" asked the Lord of Samsara.

Han Li wanted to answer that it was an object of the Laws of Time, but he didn't say it. He knew that this object was definitely more than that.

"In fact, to this day I still don't know what kind of treasure the Palm Heaven Bottle is. The Laws energy contained within it is not just the Laws of Time. Otherwise, even with my life's worth of the Laws of Time as a foundation, it would not have given birth to the Bottle Spirit, and it would not have been possible to produce such heaven-defying abilities as time travel," said the Lord of Samsara.

"Are you saying that although the Time Dao Ancestor controls the Laws of Time energy, he cannot travel through time with this power alone?" Han Li asked.

"Time travel spans not only time, but also involves the power of space, and even the participation of the power of Samsara. Therefore, apart from the Palm Heaven Bottle, I'm afraid there is no other power that can achieve time travel. In other words, as long as the Palm Heaven Bottle is in your hands, you are the only person in this world who has the possibility to travel through time," said the Lord of Samsara.

Upon hearing this, Han Li believed it seven points without asking the Bottle Spirit.

"As for the matter of Jiu Zhen and the small bottle, it involves another Dao Ancestor, Chen Tuan," said the Lord of Samsara.

Han Li had never heard of this name before, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"The Heavenly Court is headed by the Time Dao Ancestor Gu Huo Jin, and it has joined with six other Dao Ancestors to form the 'Seven Sovereigns of the Heavenly Dao', jointly governing the True Immortal Realm. Among them, the only one you know should be Li Yuanjiu of Nine Yuan Temple. And this Chen Tuan is the most mysterious one among the seven, the Prophecy Dao Ancestor," said the Lord of Samsara.

"The Laws of Prophecy?" Han Li's brows tightened as he said.

Han Li had only heard of the Laws of Prophecy, knowing that it was mysterious and difficult to cultivate, but he never thought that such a Dao Ancestor existed.

"Back then, when I traveled through time, I had exhausted my strength and was unable to control the small bottle. The Palm Heaven Bottle was lost in the River of Time. Without the protection of Laws energy, I exhausted all my immortal spiritual power in the turbulent flow of time and space, and Jiu Zhen and I were also separated... I returned to tens of millions of years before I was born, while Jiu Zhen fell to a node that was about the same time as your birth... I could only find a distant place to live away from the Mortal Realm. At this moment, I had lost all my treasures and wasted all my skills, becoming a mortal. Relying on my past cultivation experience, I found a small sect to entrust myself to, and re-cultivated immortality... Finally, after crossing endless long years, I finally found Jiu Zhen's whereabouts and rescued her. At that time, I had already re-cultivated the Laws of Samsara and reached the Great Luo peak realm, and I had also established the Samsara Palace. So, I lifted her seal and let her appear in various Immortal Realms as Jiao San," said the Lord of Samsara.

"Since you rescued me, why didn't you recognize me?" Jiao San couldn't help but ask upon hearing this.

"It is precisely because of the existence of the Prophecy Dao Ancestor. Once I recognize you, a connection of destiny will be established in the dark. At that time, Chen Tuan will be able to involve you when he perceives me through the Laws of Prophecy. The Heavenly Court cannot find my whereabouts, so how can it let you go?" The Lord of Samsara looked at Jiao San, a hint of guilt flashing in his eyes as he said.
