I’m around chapter 1717 and confused about Red Lotus and Spring Autumn Cicada.

Red Lotus originally became Rank 9, then used SAC to return to the past. Shouldn’t that change the timeline, similar to Fang Yuan’s rebirth?

So how does Duke Long know that Red Lotus became Rank 9 and used SAC? After the rebirth, shouldn’t Duke Long in the new timeline have no knowledge of those events or even know that rebirth is possible?

In chapter 1717, Duke Long clearly remembers Red Lotus and mentions his “rebirth,” which seems to imply he remembers events that should have been overwritten.

Am I misunderstanding how Red Lotus’s SAC works, or is this explained later?
