Then there's a potential of creating any number of timelines, should regrets of those sharing an original timeline cause conflicts of some kind.

( that's... somewhat... relieving? but also sad, in a way where he doesn't know that Luo Binghe getting what he regrets resolved is going to actually help Luo Binghe get the life he deserves. the one with the harem and the power and the standing on top of the world, unassailable. (one might wonder if he ever bothered asking Luo Binghe what he wanted. one might learn, no, he's kind of a dumbass on that count.) )

Does nothing else cause that divergence? Such as death experienced in pursuit of the orbs?
