Chapter 943: Chapter 943

Li Pin quietly comprehended the unknown divine mysteries hidden within the Ocean of Time, while patiently awaiting the arrival of the Creators and the Supremes of the current world.

Meanwhile, within the Void of Chaos and far from the starry cosmos, his massive true body was advancing toward the universe. Its movement seemed rather sluggish, but it was actually moving at an inconceivably rapid pace.

In the past, the sudden appearance of such a colossal existence in the Void of Chaos would have undoubtedly caused a great uproar among countless Supremes. But now, all the Supremes' attention had been drawn to Li Pin's sudden appearance.

All Supremes were curious, speculating about the divine nature of the Eternal Power that had once captivated the Creators of the Ancient Astral World Era, to the extent that they neglected the Void of Chaos beyond the cosmos and failed to notice the approach of this enormous entity.

Because the Ocean of Time was close to the Intelligent Lifeforms and the Human Race, the first to arrive were the Transcendents, such as the Matrix Mother.

Seeing Li Pin standing outside the Ocean of Time in his true form, radiating terrifying power, the Intelligent Lifeforms’ expressions grew complicated

"It's time for our Intelligent Lifeform Race to make a decision."

"Primordial Ancestor Null and Origin Li Pin seem to share a connection. Null was quite cautious in receiving him. Perhaps we can contact him for guidance."

"I tried to send a message to Null, but he did not respond. He appears to be in some kind of disconnected state."

As Matrix Mother spoke, she glanced at the countless nearly identical yet diverging planets in front of Li Pin and added, "Even the operation of the Ocean of Time is being sustained by the computational power of her sub-bodies."

"So in the end, the decision must fall to us." She posed the question, "The present or the future?"

Not long after the Intelligent Lifeforms' Transcendents arrived, numerous Supremes and Highlords from the Human faction arrived as well. But because other Supremes were already nearby, many non-Human Supremes had arrived before the Human Supremes and Highlords.

They looked at Li Pin with astonishment, wariness, and even curiosity.

The astonishment came from Li Pin's young appearance. The wariness stemmed from Supreme Regalheaven's claim that he was inferior to Li Pin. As for curiosity, well, there were many reasons for their curiosity.

Even those who wished to show off before the Creators arrived, or test Li Pin, did not dare act, for if they misstepped, the price could prove catastrophic.

One by one, the Human Supremes appeared before Li Pin.

Several Supremes spoke at once.

"Ahh, that was reckless of you. The Creators hold great power right now. We should be avoiding confrontation. Origin, why did you show yourself so openly and even broadcast your presence to all the Supremes?"

"I believe in your talent, Origin. If you could stay hidden for a while, your future accomplishments would at least equal those left from the Ancient Astral World Era, perhaps even surpass them. Why clash with them now out of pride? Leave now, wander the Void of Chaos for a while. Return when your cultivation has truly matured. We'll hold them off!"

"Enough,” said Supreme Primordial. “Origin surely has his reason. Let's hear what he has to say."

With that, he and the other Supremes all turned their eyes to Li Pin.

Li Pin looked at these Supremes.

In some sense, they were not walking the same path. But since he had left behind the Phantom Space Technique in this universe, he had already decided to leave his mark here.

Even though this intention wasn't absolute, he had indeed once harbored such a thought.

Thus, he said, "Don't you think the universe is far too crowded, too many races?"

Supreme Great Heaven was slightly stunned. "Too crowded? What do you mean?"

But Supreme Ordainment realized something instantly, and he gasped sharply. "You... purposely made this public, attracting all the Supremes of every race in the universe here?"

"So, make a list," Li Pin said. "Who should stay, who should be expelled, and who... should return all the mass they've absorbed from the universe over the years back into it."

As soon as these words were spoken, Supreme Genesis felt a chill run down his scalp. The first thing that came to his mind was how Li Pin had swept through the Ten Thousand Tribes Dominion War not long ago.

At that time, as a Human Supreme, he had been shocked by Li Pin's performance. However, the pride he had felt when the Human Race's prestige swelled had outstripped his shock back then. He had been more pleased by the emergence of such a prodigy among them.

He never felt the crushing despair those young elites from other races felt—a Supreme like him could never have empathy for Tyrants or Sacred Monarchs.

But now things were different. This time around, Li Pin intended to sweep through the Supremes of the myriad races! Those were existences on the same level as him, standing at the very peak of the universe. They were Supremes!

How could he stay calm before this claim? How could his scalp not tingle?

"Origin, can you really do that?" asked Supreme Regalheaven, shocked beyond belief.

He quickly said, "Not long ago, I fought Creator Yong Yao. The techniques are extremely similar to what you refer to as the Liberation realm. They are perhaps incomplete, but their power surpasses that of any Supreme. Unless dozens of Supremes attack simultaneously to exceed their endurance limit, no Supreme can defeat them one-on-one."

He paused, then added, "Moreover, that Creator Li... his strength differs even more from the others. I could suppress the other Creators, but not him. He was already renowned during the Ancient Astral World era."

"Their methods are very similar to the Liberation realm... but ultimately, only similar." Li Pin said calmly. "What you believe to be a slight difference could be a chasm."

His gaze pierced the void, toward his true form rapidly approaching from outside the cosmos. "It is like the difference between heaven and earth, like the sun to a firefly."

He thought of the Eternal Realm he had now touched. The source of this content ɪs novel·fire·net

The past true self, the present true self, and the future true self—the Sole True Self.

He had just barely managed to achieve this step. Next, he needed to summarize everything, and then he could truly step into the Eternal Realm.

However, this summarizing step stood before him like an abyss blocking his path, marking the boundary between Eternity and everything below it.

Li Pin shook his head. "Go."

The Supremes, hearing in his tone how he didn't consider them as equals, exchanged glances and came to a decision.

"Looking at Li Pin's life, has he not performed miracles more than once?"

"Heh, at this point, if he wants to go mad, what harm is there in going mad with him?"

With their decisions made, the Supremes quickly got to work.

As time passed, more and more Supremes arrived. Yet due to fear of Li Pin's power, and with the Human Supremes standing close by, not one of them dared act rashly.

Finally, before long, four figures tore through the void and suddenly appeared outside the Ocean of Time.

The terrifying influence radiating from them quickly warped spacetime and disrupted the normal operation of the Ocean of Time.

Null's true form was essentially the Ocean of Time itself. Had this been in the past, the Creators would not have been able to disturb the Ocean of Time's functioning. After all, their scales weren't much greater than the Supremes.

However, with Null now encountering a fundamental logical error and having fallen into a kind of crash, the ones maintaining the Ocean of Time's operation were her sub-bodies, and the computational power of the sub-bodies was nowhere near that of the main body.

Under these conditions, many of the simulated planets and stars within the Ocean of Time seemed pulled by a force and began drifting toward the newly arrived Creators.

This scene made Li Pin, who believed the Ocean of Time held some profound mystery, frown. He turned and glanced at Creator Yong Yao, Creator Miao Ya, Creator Guang Ling, and Creator Tian Zhu.

"Keep your distance," he ordered.

The Creators were slightly taken aback by Li Pin's words.

"That's Origin Li Pin?" Yong Yao asked Miao Ya.

Miao Ya nodded. "It's him."

Creator Yong Yao scrutinized Li Pin, whom they suspected to be the Eternal's successor or perhaps the wielder of the Power of Eternity left behind by such a being.

At first glance, Li Pin didn't seem particularly different.

After a long moment, Creator Yong Yao chuckled. "Who do you think you are, speaking to us in that tone? Still, I'll give you one chance. Rephrase what you just said...."

As he spoke, his massive form didn't back away from the Ocean of Time as Li Pin had instructed. It instead moved closer.

He was clearly trying to force Li Pin's hand, a test of sorts.

As for offending the Ocean of Time and the Intelligent Lifeforms, he didn't care about any of that. The Intelligent Lifeforms had yet to take a stance. This was a perfect opportunity to use the Ocean of Time's master, one related to them, as an example to intimidate others.

This scene made Li Pin frown. He wanted to say something, but felt it was meaningless.

What was the point of speaking to these false Creators?

"Forget it," he said.

There was no hesitation, no pauses, nor any hint of warning. Li Pin simply struck.

Without the slightest concern for the three other Creators beside Yong Yao, he took a single step and unleashed a slash of sword light. Propelled by the power of spacetime, the strike blasted toward Creator Yong Yao in an instant.

By the time Creator Yong Yao reacted, the sword light had already sliced into the radiant starry river that was his true body.
