Chapter 707: Restart
While Li Pin tirelessly honed his energy control and amplified its intensity, his arrival at the Humanity Sanctum had sent ripples through its halls. One after another, renowned figures ranked on the Starfire, Wildfire, and even the prestigious World Glory List turned their attention toward the island where he resided.

"The strongest in the Heavenly Prison World, capable of suppressing all races single-handedly? Quite the boast!"
"Li Pin may have failed to become a Highlord's direct disciple, but the fact that he caught a Highlord's eye speaks volumes about his talent.
"In a way, he has become a benchmark, showing us exactly what level of talent it takes to make a Highlord or even a Supreme consider taking a disciple. Even if he ultimately failed, he's shown us the threshold of their consideration."
"To become a personal disciple of a Supreme or Highlord—that's the true ascent to heaven in a single step. It's a pity Li Pin didn't have that fortune. But since it eluded him, that destiny should be rightfully mine. I believe that in terms of strength, talent, and destiny, I, Lou Chunyu, surpass him in every way."
"Who is the first to wake from life's grand dream? Of all men, I alone know true its theme. Slumbering deep in my humble cottage, spring's embrace lingers. Beyond the window, the sun tarries, slow and languid...[1]. Hahahaha, life has been dull for too long. At least now, there's something to look forward to. Li Pin, don't disappoint me."
Discussions, debates, sighs, and laughter echoed across the many islands and mountain peaks of the Humanity Sanctum. Countless individuals clenched their fists, eager to use Li Pin as a stepping stone to catch the eye of the Supremes, and perhaps even the Highlords.
Neither the Humanity Sanctum nor the Eternal Ascent of Humanity Initiative, not even its most talented prodigies, could claim absolute certainty of attaining Cosmic Radiance Realm. No matter how confident, even arrogant, they were, they couldn't deny the difficulty of achieving Cosmic Radiance, let alone the realms beyond: Tyrant, Sacred Monarch, and Heavenly Emperor.
That was a height so distant that aside from a select few, most wouldn't even dare dream of. But what did Li Pin bring with him? The attention of Highlords, the regard of Supremes.
Forget those in the sanctum who hadn't even reached Cosmic Radiance. Even those who had would scramble for the chance to become a Supreme's disciple.
With such a level of attention, it was no surprise that Li Pin had become the focal point of all discussion.
