Chapter 776: Fortune
Since he was still inside the Gate of Time and Space, Li Pin didn't let himself dwell on it for long. He quickly reined in his emotions.
Seeing this, a faint smile appeared on Mo Xuantian's face. "Looks like you've gained quite a bit from it?"
Li Pin nodded. "I have."
This time, he had taken the most crucial step in his cultivation journey, letting go of any hesitation. He no longer questioned whether his understanding of the Supreme and Highlord paths was right or wrong. He saw himself clearly now and trusted his own judgment.
As for the Transcendent path... whether it was right or wrong no longer mattered.
That path demanded the sacrifice of one's very existence at its core. Even if it was the correct path, it went against everything his own path stood for. So, even if it was right, he would never walk it.
Mo Xuantian looked at the self-assured Li Pin, now glowing with confidence.
After some thought, he said, "Li Pin, as a member of the Human Race, sacrificing your life for our people is always honorable. But... if you don't wish to take part in the Ten Thousand Tribes Dominion War, you don't have to go."
Li Pin looked at the Heavenly Emperor. "Hm?"
Why would he suddenly advise me against joining the competition?
"In the past, no matter how talented you were, I believed your path would end at becoming a Heavenly Emperor. The real trial, and the most difficult step, lies in enduring the backlash of the Astral World and breaking through it.
"That's the gap between a Heavenly Emperor and a Supreme. No one can say with absolute certainty they'll succeed. That's why, although our race has many Heavenly Emperors, Supremes have always been rare."
