Li Pin addressed Xiang Tianxing, Si Yue, and the others who had accompanied them, "You may return now." Xiang Tianxing was momentarily taken aback by Li Pin's words but quickly understood. Now that Li Yunyao had left for the Astral World under the guidance of the Homo Sapien Alliance, the Gaia Alliance had lost yet another layer of the bond that tied it to Li Pin. However... Xiang Tianxing also knew that Li Pin had already done far too much for the Gaia Alliance. Without Li Pin, it would’ve already been a miracle if Gaia managed to preserve its civilization’s legacy. It probably could never have survived until now. At this point, the Gaia Alliance truly shouldn't burden him with more responsibilities. With that in mind, Xiang Tianxing nodded solemnly. "Leave Gaia Civilization to us." Li Pin studied him for a moment before taking out a spatial treasure. "Inside are some things I've left for you. I won't speak of distant matters, but it won't be difficult to ensure Gaia Civilization fully establishes itself as the dominant power in the Yin Luo Galaxy. "As for whether you can make a name for yourselves in the Xian Ying Star Cluster, or even secure a place in the Yuan Yang Star Domain, that will depend on your own capabilities." Xiang Tianxing accepted it and nodded gravely. As for Si Yue, she was far more reserved, not daring to utter a word. Previously, she had already understood that Li Pin was powerful. But that understanding came from the words of her clan's Grand Patriarch and others. She had never grasped the true extent of his strength. All she knew was that he was very strong. But this time... after following the main force and personally witnessing him crush the combat-specialized avatar of a Cosmic Radiance expert, her mind was left reeling, unable to fully recover. A Cosmic Radiance was a figure of cosmic significance! The Si Clan might be a major Astral God clan with more Astral Gods than could be counted on one hand, but compared to the aristocratic clans with an Eternal Solar Flare overseeing them, the Si Clan was clearly outmatched. Their network of connections only extended to the level of Eternal Solar Flare. The Cosmic Radiance was a realm beyond their wildest imagination. A single Cosmic Radiance expert held the power to suppress the ambitions of civilizations numbering in the billions, trillions, or even tens of trillions within a star region. And these civilizations weren't ordinary. Each of them possessed at least a Legendary powerhouse. Those without even a single Legendary expert weren't even worth mentioning. Yet Li Pin had crushed such an incomprehensible force through sheer strength alone. That level of power... was utterly suffocating. Faced with such an overwhelming gap, she had even lost the courage to speak to him like before. Li Pin said, "The matter of Astral God Yin Luo's inheritance has finally come to an end." When he first heard of this matter, he hadn't felt the same immense pressure as Yuan Zhenchuan and the others due to not being an Astral Cultivator himself. Nevertheless, it still drove him to push forward. While it hadn't conflicted with his own goals and was more of a secondary task to him, it had still weighed on his mind. Now that it was settled, a phase of his journey had also come to an end. "Gaia Civilization is bound to undergo major changes soon. Chairman Li, I hope you will visit again if you have the time. You will always be our Gaia Alliance's Chairman," Xiang Tianxing said. Li Pin gave a slight nod. "I will." Then, he turned to Yan Qing. "I need to use the Astral Gate once more." Yan Qing immediately guessed his intent. "Prodigy Li, are you heading to the Humanity Sanctum?" "Yes," answered Li Pin, smiling. "At the very least, I should report my arrival." "I expect it won't be long before your name resounds throughout the Humanity Sanctum," said Yan Qing sincerely. He then seemed to remember something important and said urgently, "Prodigy Li, there's a matter you must carefully consider once you arrive at the Humanity Sanctum—and it's rather time-sensitive." "A Guardian," Yan Qing emphasized solemnly. "I don't know if you've already been placed on the alien races' Blacklist, but given your current achievements, it's only a matter of time. While the Humanity Sanctum is the heart of our civilization, unless you never step outside its grounds, the alien races will inevitably find ways to assassinate you. To ensure your safety before you fully mature, choosing a suitable Guardian is absolutely critical." "A Guardian..." Li Pin nodded thoughtfully. "I understand." At this moment, he realized why the Black Abyss Highlord had transferred Sasha's authority to him. This intelligent lifeform was clearly intended to serve as his Guardian. However, he didn't need one. What was the purpose of his journey to the Humanity Sanctum? It was to test his life's work against the most talented prodigies, to prove his path through victory, and to lay the foundation for the third level of the Phantom Space Technique. If he had a Guardian to intercept all the dangers, how could he refine his skills, push his limits, or surpass himself? Yan Qing clasped her hands respectfully. "Then I wish you soaring success, Prodigy Li—may your future be as boundless as the skies." At this moment, she no longer held even a trace of resentment toward her master, Qing Yu, for instructing her to befriend Li Pin. Instead, she felt profoundly grateful for her visit to the Gaia Civilization. She had a strong premonition that after today, Li Pin was bound to rise to greatness. By the time they met again, the gap between their statuses might be as vast as heaven and earth. Li Pin acknowledged her with a slight nod. Soon, the group arrived before an Astral Gate. As numerous Astral Gods approached with ingratiating smiles, eager to make an impression, Li Pin had Sasha coordinate with the Humanity Sanctum to calibrate the Astral Gate. Before long, he stepped through and vanished from the Galactic Core. Watching him disappear, Yan Qing and the surrounding Astral Gods collectively exhaled in relief. The tense atmosphere instantly dissipated. "What's this, Yuan Tu? You were nervous too? You didn't even dare to greet him before he left. Weren't you the one who said that no matter how talented Li Pin is, he's still just a Divine Being? As an Astral God, showing him goodwill should have earned you a favorable response." "And you're one to talk! What about that gift you prepared? Did you even dare to give it to him?" "I just didn't get the chance, alright? I'm not the only one who had something to offer but didn't hand it over, am I?" "Enough, both of you. We're all in the same boat. Sure, we knew that Prodigy Li was exceptional, but to shake the universe this soon? Who would have thought that such a powerful Cosmic Radiance avatar... would be destroyed just like that. How terrifying!" "Be specific! That was the combat-specialized avatar of a great Cosmic Radiance, not an ordinary avatar!" "The combat-specialized avatar of a Cosmic Radiance... Under the reflection of the True Spirit, even if we descended with our Divine Essences, we'd struggle to match it. Yet Prodigy Li managed to shatter it head-on as a Divine Being..." "Now I finally understand what a true Prodigy means. Compared to him, even so-called peerless geniuses seem utterly insignificant." The Astral Gods engaged in fervent discussions, their spiritual waves rippling throughout the area. Every one of them seemed eager to share their thoughts on the events that had just unfolded. As Yan Qing observed the scene, it struck her as oddly familiar. This was the same scene that would unfold whenever the Great Cosmic Radiance descended for a lecture. At its arrival, all the Astral Gods would fall silent, listening with unwavering focus, not daring to make the slightest disturbance. Only after its departure would the atmosphere liven up, giving way to animated discussions. Looking at this scene, it was quite easy to forget that Li Pin was only a Divine Being while those present were mostly Astral Gods. A Divine Being had commanded the same level of awe as a Cosmic Radiance, leaving hundreds of Astral Gods unable to even breathe freely in his presence. This was the very definition of presence. Li Pin remained unaware of the commotion his departure had caused. At this moment, he was following the coordinates the Humanity Sanctum provided, traversing space without pause. After passing through several Astral Gates, he was suddenly intercepted while crossing a certain region. The force that stopped him bore no hostility. It merely guided him toward a different direction. Following its lead, he traveled for some time until a colossal gateway emerged before him. Once he stepped through it, he found himself standing in a massive spaceport. Three spherical battleships, each spanning over a hundred miles in diameter, hovered near the port. In the distance, a blue giant planet radiated a deep azure glow, casting its brilliance over this sector of space. But as he settled his gaze on the planet, Li Pin's instincts sharpened. Something terrifying is lurking within. The region's defenses appeared formidable, yet not a single person was moving about. Even the Astral Gate he had just exited had only three individuals stationed outside, seemingly waiting for someone. The moment the leading figure saw Li Pin emerge, he stepped forward with a respectful bow. "Prodigy Li, you've arrived. I am Liang Qiu, a Humanity Sanctum's attendant, assigned here to escort you inside." He presented a jade talisman as proof of identity. Li Pin took the talisman and channeled a trace of spiritual energy into it. Sasha responded promptly, "Identity confirmed—this is indeed Liang Qiu, a Level Twelve Attendee of the Humanity Sanctum." With a slight nod, Li Pin responded, "Your efforts are appreciated." "Before you enter the Humanity Sanctum, we need to conduct a routine inspection. I hope you understand, Prodigy Li." Li Pin nodded. "Go ahead." The two individuals behind Liang Qiu stepped forward at once, scanning him with specialized devices. When the device passed over his wristband, it emitted a soft chime, accompanied by a green glow. Sasha's voice resonated in Li Pin's mind. "The Humanity Sanctum is different from the Heavenly Prison World. This domain was left behind by Supreme Primordial, and to safeguard the human seeds within, all entries and exits are subject to strict screening. However, I have already communicated with Supreme Primordial's main body and registered your arrival in advance." He saw no need to ask further. After a series of thorough checks, Liang Qiu nodded in satisfaction. He then turned back to the Astral Gate and began calibrating it. Once the adjustments were finalized, he extended a hand in invitation. "Prodigy Li, welcome to the greatest sanctuary for nurturing human prodigies, the Cosmic Radiance Cradle—Humanity Sanctum."
