After Xue Ling shouted, the time laws that had been lingering around Ye Ling all retracted.
On Xu Xiaoqing's side, she also used the Dao Heart Pill to calm her mind and absorbed all the resentment that permeated the Blood Prison.
After absorbing the resentment, Xu Xiaoqing's temperament had changed tremendously. She was no longer like the girl next door from before, but more like a mature older sister, possessing a unique charm.
Xu Xiaoqing carefully sensed the power within her body, then bowed to Ye Ling, "Thank you, senior, for your life-saving grace. I am eternally grateful."
Ye Ling smiled, "This is all your own fortune. We are mutually beneficial, so there's no need to thank me."
Seeing that the restless resentment and time laws in the Blood Prison had dissipated together, Xue Ling smacked its lips. Then, it smiled and flew to Ye Ling's front, saying, "My lord, I have everything prepared. As soon as you give the order, I can present the replicated time and space of Earth."
"Mm," Ye Ling nodded in response, but he did not let Xue Ling manipulate the time laws, choosing to do it himself.
After mastering the time laws, Ye Ling could see countless fine threads in space.
Each of those threads represented a timeline. As long as he nudged those threads, he could manipulate the time around him.
And in the Blood Prison, above the blood pool, there was a sphere formed by a large number of intertwined time threads. It was out of place with the other time threads in the Blood Prison, appearing like the replicated time and space of Earth.
Ye Ling was curious and attempted to manifest those intertwined time threads using the time laws.
Soon, a dazzling white light shone above the blood pool, absorbing everyone in the Blood Prison.
After the white light dissipated, Ye Ling, Xu Xiaoqing, and Xue Ling found themselves in the sky above Buzhou Mountain.
Xu Xiaoqing glanced at Buzhou Mountain below, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes, "Are we back now?"
Ye Ling shook his head, "No, we haven't returned. We've only entered the replicated time and space of Earth."
"Everything here is an image of Earth over the past hundred years."
As he spoke, Ye Ling made a slight gesture in the air, and the world around them seemed to rewind rapidly, like a movie with its progress bar being pulled back.
Xue Ling, seeing Ye Ling accomplish these feats so easily, couldn't help but swallow its saliva, feeling extremely nervous.
Initially, it thought that only it could summon the replicated time and space of Earth, and only it could control the time and location of this space.
But now, it seemed that Ye Ling, who had mastered the time laws, could do everything it could do.
It now had no value. Even if Ye Ling killed it, it wouldn't make any difference.
Ye Ling noticed Xue Ling's apprehensive demeanor and said, "Don't worry. I always keep my word. You've fulfilled the requirements. As long as you behave yourself from now on and don't cause any trouble, I will naturally spare your life."
Hearing Ye Ling's words, the stone that had been hanging in Xue Ling's heart finally dropped. It breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said gratefully, "Thank you, my lord! I will definitely behave myself and not cause any trouble!"
After calming Xue Ling down, Ye Ling turned his attention to the replicated time and space of Earth.
After mastering the time laws, the method of controlling this space naturally appeared in Ye Ling's mind.
Ye Ling drew a line in the air with his hand, and the surrounding world changed rapidly. In an instant, the three of them were transferred to the sky above the Immortal Realm.
Xu Xiaoqing glanced at the vast lake below and asked Ye Ling, "Where is this?"
"Tongyou Pond."
Ye Ling said softly, then began to rewind time, causing the space here to flow backward. "I want to investigate something here."
Previously, when Ye Ling entered the ancient ruins of the Tongtian clan, the extraterrestrial forces had held a ritual in the Immortal Realm to sacrifice Ye Feng and seize the Creation God's inheritance from Ye Feng's body.
Ye Ling had thought that Ye Feng's soul had been scattered after being sacrificed, but he never expected to see traces of Ye Feng alive on the Yuan Xiao Dragon in Buzhou Mountain.
Ye Feng was still alive.
Now Ye Ling desperately wanted to know how Ye Feng survived after his Creation God powers were taken away.
Time in the Immortal Realm rapidly rewound.
Soon, an altar appeared near Tongyou Pond, with a cross erected in the center of the altar. Ye Feng, with his heart hollowed out, was bound to the cross, barely breathing.
"Brother, quickly let me out! I also want to figure out what happened to Ye Feng!"
Ye Ling rewound the timeline to the moment Ye Feng was sacrificed, and Ye You's voice also came from Ye Ling's small world, filled with excitement.
Ye Ling did not refuse Ye You's request and directly opened the small world to release Ye You.
Now that Xue Ling had been subdued, Ye You would not encounter any danger even if she moved around outside, so releasing her was not a problem.
As for Su Ruoxue, Ye Ling did not want her to be exposed to these current matters. Moreover, Su Ruoxue herself had no cultivation. Staying in the small world was the safest option.
After being released, Ye You stretched lazily, then looked at Ye Feng, who was nailed to the cross below, and curiously asked Ye Ling, "Brother, in this time and space, can we influence past events?"
Ye Ling shook his head, "This is just a replicated time and space. Even if we change past events, the real world will not be affected in any way. Interfering with the people here is meaningless."
Ye You then asked, "Then, can we change the past by returning to it from the real world?"
Hearing Ye You's words, Xue Ling quickly said, "No! Even if you use time laws to return to the past, events that have already happened will not be affected."
"The past time and space will split into a parallel world due to your actions, and that parallel world will develop a completely different future."
Ye Ling: "In other words, if we change the past using time laws, another time and space will split off, and it won't affect our present?"
Xue Ling nodded, "That's right. Events in the main timeline will not change in any way. And the split sub-timelines are like small splashes from the river of time. If a powerful being doesn't continuously maintain them with time laws, those sub-timelines will quickly tend towards extinction. Therefore, I don't recommend manipulating time laws to change the past."
"It's meaningless."
Ye You then asked Xue Ling, "According to you, can we only look at what happened in the past by returning to it, and can't change anything?"
Xue Ling shook its head, "Not necessarily. I inherited some knowledge from the resentful spirits in the blood pool and know some secrets about time."
"If one masters the Great Dao of Time and Space, they can manipulate the river of time at will, and it's not impossible to change the main timeline... but such existences are truly incredible. I don't know if such powerful beings actually exist in this world?"
Ye Ling sighed, "Never mind. We are not here to change the past this time, but merely to investigate some matters. Let's focus on what's in front of us first."
Hearing Ye Ling's words, a hint of disappointment flashed in Ye You's eyes, but she still nodded slightly, "Mm."
Ye Ling noticed the disappointment in Ye You's eyes and asked, "Xiao You, do you want to change the past?"
Ye You said dejectedly, "I thought that since Brother had mastered the time laws, we could go back six years and prevent that tragedy from six years ago."
"It seems that is also a vain hope."
Seeing Ye You's dejected look, Ye Ling's heart ached as he gently rubbed her head, "Everyone has their own destiny. Our parents have already reincarnated, and they now have their own lives. With the help of the Heavenly Dao, their lives will be smooth sailing. This outcome may not be a bad thing."
In fact, with Ye Ling's current abilities, he could completely guide his reincarnated parents' souls back and restore their memories of their previous lives.
However, doing so would be equivalent to erasing their lives in this current existence.
This was not fair to them.
Therefore, even though Ye Ling could do it, he would not.
Ye You naturally understood this.
"I understand the logic, but..." Ye You opened her mouth, then sighed, and smiled at Ye Ling, "Forget it, Brother. I'm just a little sentimental. Don't worry about me; I can adjust myself."
"It's good that you can think it through," Ye Ling replied softly, without offering too much comfort. He then looked at Ye Feng, who was nailed to the cross below, and said, "Let's look forward."
Ye You: "Okay!"
