Chapter 869: Karma
Li Pin's thoughts churned. Time....
He had always believed in one principle—time could prove everything. With adequate time, eventually everything and anything would reveal an answer. Perhaps that answer would not always be satisfying, but it would nonetheless pierce through the fog of confusion and provide clarity at long last.
At this moment, Li Pin understood another truth—just as time could prove everything when it stretched adequately enough, it could also wash away everything in time.
In this world, nothing was truly immutable. Even so-called permanence would shift over a long enough timeline.
In this world, no one was truly undying. Even beings as powerful as Supremes, Transcendents, and Tyrants would struggle to survive a disaster like that of the ancient Astral World. Just like how the dazzling and prosperous cultivation civilizations of the ancient Astral World were almost wiped out overnight.
Li Pin revealed a smile.
Did these changes matter to him? Not at all. All he had ever wanted was a marker in his life. But perhaps it was finally time to transcend the very notion of setting his own markers.
If no one in this world were immortal and eternal, then... let him become the first immortal being, the first... Eternal.
To become an Eternal, the first step is mastering time, and then to surpass time.
Li Pin turned his gaze toward Li Yunyao, his smile soft. "Thank you."
Li Yunyao was slightly confused, even a bit at a loss.
Li Pin stepped forward and gently patted her head. This gesture made Li Yunyao tremble slightly.
