Chapter 927: Contact
"You can call me Null."
What appeared before Li Pin was not the scholarly elder he had imagined. Instead, it was a woman who looked to be in her early thirties, dressed in a distinctly xianxia-inspired style.
Across the vast universe, people wore all sorts of attire. Yet Null's appearance felt oddly out of place, as though she didn't quite belong in this cosmic expanse.
It's not just her clothing.... Li Pin stared at her in astonishment. It's the presence she gave off.... It's the aura of someone in the same realm as me.
"The Dao Realm?" he asked.
"Not quite," Null replied. "I walk a different path."
She added, "The Transcendent path."
"You can reach this level through the Transcendent path?"
"Much of the data has been lost, so I can't say for sure," Null said. "In fact, I've spent my entire life searching for that answer."
"My apologies if I overstepped," Li Pin said.
"There's no need to be so polite. I've been curious about you for some time now. Especially when Sasha's database turned up information related to the Dao Realm. That truly caught me off guard," said Null.
"So you really do know what the Dao Realm is?" asked Li Pin.
