Chapter 942: Return
"I didn't comprehend the Eternal's other divine abilities, but I did feel how he utilized the law of spacetime," Li Pin said softly.
As Li Pin brought Null along, he tried his best to search for that feeling of "ascension" he had experienced. However, the sensation remained ever so elusive.
He felt like he was a fish swimming in a river. No matter how the fish looked around, it could never seem to glimpse the vast starry sky beyond the water.
Li Pin let out a long breath. "Looks like my path to ascension truly has been severed by that Eternal."
"And if an Eternal only knows two states to events—cause and effect—then I am in the ‘effect’ state, meaning my path has already been severed, and there is no way to complete it anymore. Because, from his perspective, he has already seen the outcome of everything I try. Even if I continue my efforts and patch the Eternity Path from a different direction, I may still inevitably encounter a fate where the path is cut off."
It was like two people playing rock-paper-scissors. One party—the Eternal, in this case—always threw his hand last. No matter what, the opponent could never win.
"No matter how you look at it... it seems hopeless," Li Pin murmured.
Is this the end of the road for my cultivation?
This thought rose for a moment, then it was firmly denied.
Li Pin smiled.
No, he refused. As long as he could still draw breath, it was never over.
He mercilessly cut down the occasional waves of negativity and regained his resolve.
