Chapter 903: Spread
Li Pin departed with Heavenly Emperor Ling Hua.
It wasn't until some time after they had gone that Miao Zhuan, the leading figure among the Sacred Flame Hall crowd, suddenly snapped back to his senses. "His Majesty Origin nodded at us... and I... I didn't return the gesture!?"
A wave of inexplicable panic rose in Miao Zhuan's chest. He knew full well that Li Pin wouldn't take offense over something so trivial. But still... he couldn't shake off the unease.
It stemmed from an instinctive sense of inferiority born from the vast gap in their status. That feeling often surfaced in the presence of such towering figures. Even the smallest oversight, something completely inconsequential, could leave them filled with regret and anxiety afterward, caught in a cycle of second-guessing and self-doubt.
Even Ji Shun couldn't help but feel a similar tension in his heart. "He won't mind. His Majesty Origin wouldn't care about such formalities..."
He shared a much closer relationship with Li Pin than Miao Zhuan did, so he recovered a little more quickly. Still, when he said those words, his heart remained deeply conflicted.
He hadn't personally witnessed the battle where Li Pin quelled the rebellion within the Myriad Astral God Hall, but from all the accounts he'd heard, he understood how utterly astonishing Li Pin's strength had been at that time.
That one battle had been enough to unify all the major human factions. Not a single Supreme's faction dared to object.
Even the Heaven Ordainment Sect, known for its numerous Heavenly Emperors, had vowed to uphold their allegiance to the Myriad Astral God Hall, though they made it clear they would follow commands, not orders.
But... no story could compare to seeing Li Pin's true power with his own eyes.
Just how terrifying was Creator Miao Ya? With nothing but his own strength, he blanketed the entire Abyssal Rift No.3 in starlight imbued with the laws of the universe. That vast, towering display battered at the minds and understanding of every Heavenly Emperor present, shaking their worldview to its core.
And yet... Li Pin had managed to push back... such an overwhelming power, enough to drive a man to despair, with a force just as vast and majestic.
