Li Pin had no objection to the title Divine Emperor Origin. In fact, his original plan had always been to enter secluded cultivation for a thousand years. By then, he would fully comprehend the nature of time, and the unification of time and space would come naturally.
Now that he also wielded Supreme Divine Weapons, becoming a Divine Emperor was merely a matter of time.
Li Pin thought to himself, However,there's still the Heavenly Emperor Realm, which focuses on comprehending time.
He had already passed the stage of merging time and space. His cultivation method, secret arts, and battle techniques, all self-created, met the three core requirements for ascending to Divine Emperor status.
Even so, bypassing the Heavenly Emperor Realm altogether left him feeling that something would be missing, like he was treating that realm too lightly.
Still, after some thought, Li Pin accepted the Divine Martial Emperor's suggestion.
"Then, as you say, I'll take on the title of Divine Emperor publicly," Li Pin said.
"So, I'll take it that you've agreed?" said the Divine Martial Emperor.
He continued, looking at Li Pin, "We're calling you Divine Emperor Origin mainly to stabilize the Human Race. With another Divine Emperor among us, we'll suffer fewer losses in this Astral World crisis. But if you're unwilling, we can claim that Yuan Jie was severely wounded under our joint assault, and you simply delivered the final blow.
"That way, even if the Astral Lord Council uses some special method to learn that Yuan Jie died by your hand, they won't direct all their attention solely at you."
"It makes no difference," Li Pin replied calmly. "If the Astral Lord Council wants revenge, let them come."
Claiming the title of Divine Emperor without having fully stepped into that realm might invite danger. But Li Pin had already mastered space.
