Chapter 686: Stay
The Heavenly Prison World erupted in a sea of jubilation. Everyone was cheering and rejoicing at the chance to escape this place alive.
For the geniuses who had just been banished to the Exile Zone, the overwhelming relief brought them to tears.
Standing by the window of his small bamboo building, Li Pin could clearly sense the Fortune that had once been concentrated on him rapidly dispersing, flowing back across the Heavenly Prison World to countless geniuses. This included both the extraordinary talents and those who had taken more unconventional paths.
He felt no regret over this. Fortune was a fickle thing. When present, it made cultivation effortless, granting inspiration and rapid progress. But he wouldn't cling to it. If it was gone, so be it. He had always relied on nothing but himself.
This was evident in how he had altered the Supreme Secret Art, Endless Reincarnation into a method that concentrated "higher-dimensional power" onto his present and future self.

Whoosh!
A streak of light tore through the sky.
Wang Fuyun arrived outside Li Pin's bamboo hut alongside several elders from the Worldbreaker Peak. Joining them were Yun Lai, Yu Xuexian, Yu Li, and Gao Shengyan, the seasoned figures from Dragon Abyss Tower.
Wang Fuyun looked at Li Pin with a hint of emotion. "I never expected this day to come so soon, and in such a seamless manner."
"That's only natural," Li Pin replied. "Whether it's the Human Race or other powerful alien species, none would stand idly by while billions of geniuses, prodigies, and even supreme talents were imprisoned by the Black Abyss Highlord as test subjects.
"This isn't just about value. It's a matter of pride. If they didn't act to rescue their own, how could their people feel secure? Without that sense of security, what unity would remain within their races?"
