Chapter 647: Highlord
Li Pin sensed the unique environment around him as soon as he arrived. "This is... the Humanity Sanctum?"
The environment felt reminiscent of the divine treasure world, only that it was far more tangible.
A voice echoed in Li Pin's ear. "This is just the outer section, a fragment of the Humanity Sanctum's Mini Astral World, not the sanctum itself."
Li Pin glanced over and saw a man in his early thirties with long silver-white hair and a gentle, scholarly air. The man explained with a slight smile, "Think of it as a transport ship leading to the mothership.
"Through this, we can safely reach the Humanity Sanctum and undergo a series of assessments. If we pass, we'll officially become part of it and be included in the Eternal Ascent of Humanity Initiative."
He continued with an introduction of himself, "My name is Yun Lai, a candidate for this round of assessments."
"Li Pin," Li Pin acknowledged the man's goodwill with a nod. "I thought the Astral Gate would send us directly into the Humanity Sanctum."
"The Humanity Sanctum is a special world embedded beneath the Sacred Flame Hall, dedicated to nurturing the core pillars of the human race," replied Yun La. "If a mere Astral Gate could grant unrestricted access, its security would be far too lax."
He chuckled. "Even for those of us with the password, gaining entry isn't so easy."
Li Pin could understand why. The Eternal Ascent of Humanity Initiative had long been under the watchful eyes of alien races. Throughout history, countless young talents with the potential to reach the Cosmic Radiance Realm had been killed before they could fully grow. The Sacred Flame Hall had every reason to be cautious.
Yun Lai remarked, "You're a Divine, aren't you? A Divine Being recommended for the Eternal Ascent of Humanity Initiative? You must have extraordinary talent."
Li Pin scanned his surroundings.
