Chapter 810: Value
Li Pin called out, "Supreme Dao Origin."
"I apologize for the sudden invitation," said Supreme Dao Origin, "but when I saw that message, I was genuinely thrilled. It felt like a ray of light cutting through the confusion that had clouded my heart. I couldn't help but cheer and rush over to see it for myself.
He continued, "But clearly, my efforts alone aren't enough. That's why I'm inviting you, Tyrant Origin, the one who made this discovery, to join me. Let's explore it together, refine it side by side, and witness the arrival of that monumental moment."
Supreme Dao Origin showed none of the pride typically expected from someone of his stature. He addressed Li Pin as an equal, like one Supreme speaking to another, offering a sincere invitation to complete the final missing piece of the path beyond the Supreme Realm—Reincarnation.
"I'm honored," Li Pin replied. "But mastering a force like that isn't something that simple. At the very least, it'll take over a decade before we make any real progress. I have pressing matters to deal with for now, so this will have to wait."
"Important matters?" Supreme Dao Origin paused, then seemingly thought of something. "You mean the Ten Thousand Tribes Dominion War?"
He shook his head. "Compared to the research we're about to begin, that tournament is hardly worth mentioning."
"But to me," Li Pin said, "it means everything."
Supreme Dao Origin stared at Li Pin for a long moment before suddenly asking, "Are you being threatened? By whom? Primordial? Ordainment? Or Genesis? It must be Genesis. That old schemer only ever cares about profit. He treats everything in existence as a bargaining chip, no sense of principle at all... I'll take you away right now. Let's see who dares stop me."
"No. This is my own decision," Li Pin replied firmly. "It concerns my cultivation."
"Your cultivation..."
Only then did Dao Origin seem to realize that Li Pin was still just a Tyrant. He still had to comprehend space and time, break free of the Astral World's constraints, and ascend to the Supreme Realm. Only then would he face the same challenge as the rest of them, pushing beyond the Supreme Realm, exploring the unknown, exhausting every possibility.
