Chapter 540: Trivial Matters
Aboard Si Xing's spacecraft, Li Pin gazed quietly through the window at the slowly rotating planet below. Its diameter spanned 30,000 kilometers.
"Gaia," he murmured softly. "So small."
In the vast universe, a planet of this size wasn't considered small. It was medium-sized at best. Planets with diameters of 100,000 kilometers that supported life, harnessed astral energy, and created an environment suitable for cultivation were rare. Each one could command a staggering price.
Nevertheless, Si Xing knew that when Li Pin said "small," he was referring to Gaia.
It was like how a child would feel as though their village was the entire world. With time, this perception would expand to include their school, and then the city.
Only those who truly ventured into the world could understand its vastness. Only then would a person understand how boundless the universe was.
"You are a Divine Being—a Divine Being who has achieved Divinity in just four stellar years." Si Xing looked at him. "Your future lies in the boundless universe."
"Boundless universe," Li Pin echoed, not with a sense of youthful idealism but with calm acknowledgment of a fact.
Si Xing reflected, "Emotions are fascinating. They act as unique beacons for intelligent life. It's through them that we sense the location of our inner spirit. With this awareness, we can draw upon the inner spirit power to unlock extraordinary abilities, making the impossible possible, and ascend to the pinnacle of the universe.
"So, returning to the civilization that nurtured you after achieving success is natural and commendable. But the universe operates on its own cause and effect. It won't shift for anyone's will. Letting the civilization that raised you become a burden to your growth isn't necessary."
Li Pin smiled. "You're wrong about that."
