Chapter 915: Chapter 915

Li Pin stepped forward and helped Supreme Dao Origin to his feet. "No need for formalities. We simply discussed the Dao with each other and jointly explored the mysteries of reincarnation."

"Learning is endless, and the wise become teachers. If it weren't for your unreserved transmission and teaching, I wouldn't know how long it would take me to master the power of reincarnation," Supreme Dao Origin said solemnly and with sincerity. "Therefore, you deserve my full respect as a teacher, Supreme Origin."

He genuinely felt Li Pin deserved this honor.

The other Supremes had all left behind their own legacies in the world, but these legacies were almost always incomplete. They claimed it was to prevent successors from overreaching and wasting effort on unnecessary paths. However, in reality, they simply didn't want to share. Except for very few disciples whom they considered as successors, they taught no one else.

In comparison, Li Pin had shared the complete power of reincarnation without holding anything back, the power representing the path beyond Supreme! Had he intended to trade it, more than half the Supremes would scramble to obtain it, throwing everything they had at Li Pin's way. Yet, here he was, sharing it openly without any stipulations. Such generosity and spirit deserved the heartfelt respect and thanks from anyone, including these Supremes.

"I once attended your lecture at the Dragon Origin Dojo. Your insights on the power of reincarnation were also a great help to me. By that reasoning, I too should express my gratitude properly," Li Pin said, smiling.

Supreme Dao Origin quickly waved his hand. "How could my understanding of the power of reincarnation compare to yours, Supreme Origin?"

"It's not the same," said Li Pin sincerely. "Though your understanding of the power of reincarnation doesn't yet form a complete system, a great tree cannot consist only of its trunk—the branches and leaves are equally vital. Your insights have filled in what my own cultivation tree lacked. So when I say your insights have helped me much, I truly mean it."

He then smiled and extended an invitation. "Since we both have gained new understandings, why not start our discussion now? Let us sit and exchange insights, complement each other's shortcomings, and resolve doubts together?"

Hearing this, Supreme Dao Origin no longer insisted on formalities. He cupped his hands. "I would be honored."

At once, the two ceased pleasantries and began to discuss their understandings of the Dao of reincarnation.

As Li Pin had said, he had fully comprehended the power of reincarnation with the help of Creator Miao Ya's power, but it was like a tree trunk lacking branches and leaves. These branches and leaves would undoubtedly grow, but the process ultimately required time. Discussions with Supreme Dao Origin would accelerate this process, deepening Li Pin's understanding day by day.

While Li Pin's avatar and Supreme Dao Origin studied the power of reincarnation, his true body had crossed the void to the region of the Supreme Council.

Strictly speaking, the Supreme Council was divided into three concepts. One was the Assembly of Astral Gods, a force that manifested the Supreme Will in the Astral World and acted as the Human Race's executive representative there.

Another consisted of institutions, including the Homo Sapien Alliance, Divine Treasury Hall, and others, located on the cosmological continent in the most bustling star regions. Normally, three Supreme avatars of the Supreme Council maintained daily operations.

The last was located at the edge of the universe. Its corresponding Astral World location was the Second Abyssal Rift. It was a zone where matter and energy ceased to exist, where even time and space were twisted beyond recognition. Neither cosmic civilizations nor ordinary beings could reach this area.

This place was the Supreme Council's actual location. Three Supreme true bodies constantly suppressed this place.

Compared to the First Abyssal Rift, beasts in the Second Abyssal Rift were more active, so even Heavenly Emperors and Divine Emperors were insufficient. Supremes had to intervene personally from time to time.

Since three Supremes were always stationed there, other Supremes wanting to debate could easily meet, so over time, this Abyssal Rift became the actual location for the Supreme Council.

At this moment, in the Second Abyssal Rift's starry sky, the headquarters of the Supreme Council, six Supremes—Supreme Primordial, Supreme Genesis, Supreme Ordainment, Supreme Great Heaven, Supreme Unity, and Supreme Unbound—together with Prime Abyss Highlord, were gathered here.

More than half the Supreme Council members had arrived.

Part of the reason for the absent members was that some Supremes had gone exploring in the Void of Chaos and lost contact entirely. Another part of the reason was that one year was too short, so much so that some Supremes who had entered seclusion would not even check messages sent by others. Additionally, if they were situated further away, even the Supremes wouldn't be able to traverse tens or hundreds of billions of light-years to reach the meeting place so quickly.

However, the Eternal Oblivion Disaster had forced many Supremes to suspend their seclusions and expeditions into the Void of Chaos. That was why seven peak existences could assemble in such a short span. Otherwise, there would have been at most four or five Supremes in attendance.

Now, these top existences—each radiating energy capable of shattering stars—looked expectantly in one direction.

Suddenly, an enormous surge of energy and gravity entered their perception. This familiar yet strange energy reaction made the six Supremes and one Highlord's eyes brighten simultaneously.

"This familiar energy reaction... is definitely Supreme level! And it isn't any Supreme we know!"

"The energy intensity is not high, perfectly matching a newly born Supreme. Origin has truly achieved Supreme!?"

"Hahaha, the Human Race has finally given birth to another Supreme! From today, the Supreme Council seats will expand to twelve!" Get full chapters from noveⅼfire.net

Each Supreme and Highlord wore elated expressions. At the same time, their eyes shone with even greater expectations. Since it was true that Li Pin had become a Supreme, it was very likely that the rumors about his path... were true as well!

As those looking up awaited, the space before them suddenly twisted. A completely dark vortex abruptly appeared in the sight of the seven top existences.

The vortex spun briefly, and space returned to calm. Then a huge figure radiating terrifying energy instantly appeared before them. Li Pin's true body had arrived in a hurry.

For a moment, the seven top existences immediately focused their gazes on Li Pin, scrutinizing him. While they studied Li Pin, he in turn examined the seven rulers at the pinnacle of the human race—no, these seven didn't just stand at the pinnacle of the Human Race. Even across the vast universe, they were among the strongest. If separated from the Human Race, any one of them could lead a top-tier race of the universe.

The energy they radiated was vast beyond measure. Their resonance with the universe was so profound that Li Pin felt as though he was facing the universe itself. They seemed like parts of the universe, extensions of its will.

The Supremes and Highlord exchanged glances, acknowledging Li Pin's identity.

Supreme Primordial was the first to speak. He hailed from the Sacred Flame Hall and had once guided Li Pin's cultivation path. "Congratulations on becoming our human race's tenth Supreme, Origin! You'll be occupying the twelfth seat of the Supreme Council!"

The other six top existences also offered their congratulations one after the other.

"Congratulations, Supreme Origin."

These words unquestionably confirmed Li Pin's Supreme realm and strength beyond doubt.

Li Pin slightly nodded to the six Supremes and one Highlord. "Greetings to the Supremes and Highlord here."

"Origin, you truly gave us a tremendous surprise. Over the past several eras, we considered everyone and speculated more than once who could take the next seat on the Supreme Council. Would it be Jin'que? Emperor Ara? Or You Ying? We never expected it would be you, someone who has cultivated for merely three-hundred-odd years, less than one-hundredth of an epoch, completing the journey that took us half a lifetime. You're really an unparalleled figure," Supreme Genesis said with emotion.

At the same time, there was lingering regret in his heart. He was truly too late!

Li Pin cultivated his Primordial Supreme Technique, so theoretically, he should have naturally become his disciple. With that, his sect would have had two Supremes. It would have been such great prestige!

Unfortunately, because of the matter with the Black Abyss Highlord, he had not been able to take Li Pin on as a disciple. He'd thought that it would not be worth bothering with a disciple who was despised by the Black Abyss Highlord. Thus, he had missed the best opportunity to take Li Pin as a disciple.

Who could have known then that the Black Abyss Highlord had refused him because he believed Li Pin had his own path, one that even he recognized?

The Black Abyss Highlord did not want to mislead disciples who took a different path, so he had not accepted Li Pin. Instead, he had given Li Pin authority over Sasha to protect his path and cultivation.

Later, Li Pin emerged outstandingly in the Astral World, even defeating his proud disciple Yao Ji. Supreme Genesis was tempted to take Li Pin as a disciple then, but he did not know whether Li Pin would survive the Ten Thousand Tribes Dominion War, so he did not accept Li Pin as a disciple then either.

The result was that after returning from the Ten Thousand Tribes Dominion War, Li Pin soared directly upwards and slew a Divine Emperor with his sword. Then, due to the Eternal Oblivion Disaster, their Supreme Council lost contact with the Astral World.

When they finally reconnected with Li Pin with much difficulty, he had already become a Supreme—just like Supreme Genesis! With both of them being Supremes, how could Supreme Genesis dare to take Li Pin as his disciple?

Supreme Genesis had wasted such a perfect opportunity. How could he not regret it deeply?

"Supreme Genesis, you flatter me," Li Pin said humbly.

He then glanced at everyone. "You are all quite curious about the path I have walked and the things I have comprehended, aren't you?"

Knowing that none of them were Supreme Dao Origin and could not truly perceive the divine mysteries of the power of reincarnation through mere words, he extended his hand. "No words of explanation will be as accurate and clear as firsthand experience, therefore..."

Li Pin offered, "Let's have a fight, and you all will naturally understand whether this path is viable."
