Zhou Yan speculated that if nothing had gone wrong, Zhou Lingyi's bloodline was extremely peculiar and even transcended Lee Ran's ability to freeze time, allowing him to see Lee Ran bestowing the inheritance on him and utter the words that led to his "erasure" and the reconfiguration of his soul.
This must have been a sort of Heavenly Heart Transformation of the soul. Thus, it made complete sense that Zhou Lingyi could later face Hou Ling'er's Void Soul and not die but rather fully comprehend the situation.
But, beyond that, what did those words from Brother Lee Ran mean?
Zhou Yan showed a pondering expression.
Also, back at the Black Water River, Zhou Yan distinctly remembered seeing the anomaly of his brother rowing the boat and fainting, only to be awakened by Zhou Lingyi.
All of this seemed like a space-time rift, progressing bit by bit and converging at certain points.
