At the Void Treasury Hall's Divine Treasury Gate. Beams of light continuously fell from the Void Divine Treasure World, transforming into figures as they returned to the real world. They landed in the large plaza where the Divine Treasury Gate stood. Everyone was in shock, with a hint of confusion in their expressions. "The divine treasure world has been cleared?" "So fast? Hasn't it only been eleven stellar years? As expected of Li Pin." "A forbidden divine treasure world has been cleared. I wonder what the gains are." In the distance, numerous Astral Gods, including the ever-elusive Void Divine Treasury Hall's hall master, Astral God Mu Hai, were present. They watched as the pioneers who emerged from the treasure world engaged in discussion. They felt quite at ease with Li Pin, the future Cosmic Tyrant, present, and the Void Divine Treasure World cleared. Soon, the murmurs of some pioneers gradually reached them. "The Void Divine Treasure World doesn't seem to have been cleared by conventional means... but rather collapsed?" "At first, everything seemed normal, but later, the world truly collapsed instead of contracting. If I'm not mistaken, something unexpected must have happened." "The divine weapon I obtained wasn't materialized by the world's power. What happened?" What started as hushed discussions eventually became louder and more prominent. Before long, thousands of pioneers joined the discussion, turning the entire plaza into a cacophony of voices. At that moment, Yun Tu, Ran Shenji, Bai Chao, and Mu Hai exchanged glances, realizing that something was wrong. Just then, Yun Tu spotted Mu Yunsheng, who had also fallen from the divine treasure world. With a wave of his hand, he brought him over. "What happened?" Yun Tu asked sternly. "Could someone have deliberately sabotaged it?" "Greetings, Hall Master," greeted Mu Yunsheng respectfully. He then hurriedly answered, "In this operation to break open the Void Divine Treasure World, everyone followed Pioneer Li's lead and acted according to his orders. The entire process seemed to go smoothly. As for why the divine treasure world collapsed..." He shook his head. "We don't know either. We simply followed Pioneer Li's instructions." Hearing Mu Yunsheng's words, the hall masters exchanged glances but did not doubt him. Before this cycle began, many pioneers had entered the Void Divine Treasure World, undoubtedly carrying Li Pin's legendary reputation from the Heavenly Prison World. With such renown, unless they had lost their minds, no pioneer would dare to provoke him. After all, people with status, background, and extraordinary talent would never become pioneers. They wouldn't risk their futures and lives for the volatile gains of a divine treasure world. Under such circumstances, even with a hundred times the courage, no one would dare offend Li Pin, a future Cosmic Tyrant. "Let's wait a little longer, then," said Mu Hai. The others also nodded in agreement. They calmed their minds and continued waiting. Fortunately, Li Pin did not keep them waiting for long. Not long after Fang Chunyang, Lie Qingqing, and Xu Anping emerged, the Void Divine Treasure World closed. Almost at the same moment, the ripples spreading through the world gradually faded, and a streak of light burst forth, revealing Li Pin’s figure. Seeing Li Pin appear, an uproar erupted among the pioneers below, and the discussions grew even louder. Yet, not a single person dared to speak disrespectfully. Even those who had struggled in the Void Divine Treasure World for millennia and gained nothing did not dare utter a complaint. To the countless pioneers who were uncertain whether they could ever become Astral Gods, their status and position were vastly inferior to Li Pin, who had already become the Humanity Sanctum's Sacred Child. Hall Master Bai Chao stood up immediately and greeted Li Pin. "Pioneer Li." Li Pin took a step and appeared on the platform where Bai Chao, Yun Tu, Ran Shenji, Mu Hai, and other Astral Gods gathered. "Pioneer Li, did you have any takeaways?" Astral God Bai Chao asked with a smile. "I have yet to check." Li Pin replied. He paused for a moment before saying, "You want to ask why the Void Divine Treasure World collapsed, causing the failure of the world's remaining powers to materialize any divine weapons?" He admitted frankly, "That was my mistake." The hall masters exchanged glances. Bai Chao took the lead and said, "A forbidden treasure is referred to as such because of its inherent uncertainties. Pioneer Li, you cleared this treasure world and rescued millions of trapped pioneers. This in itself is a tremendous merit. Based on that alone, you have accomplished a great deed." As Bai Chao said, breaking open the Void Divine Treasure World would be a huge deal and a great merit for anyone. However, in truth, with Li Pin's current status and reputation, this merit was hardly worth celebrating over. Mu Hai chimed in, "I will issue a notification to inform all pioneers about the Void Divine Treasure's collapse." He said calmly, "The Divine Treasure World is not a welfare institution, nor is it a secret realm for resources. It is not unusual to come out empty-handed. You should not feel any psychological burden, Pioneer Li Pin." He did not feel any discomfort. As Astral God Mu Hai had said, the divine treasure world was a special place where the winner took all. Perhaps some of the Prestige Gold Pioneers might feel resentful toward Li Pin, having wasted one or two hundred years inside the divine treasure world. However, as Li Pin saw it, these Prestige Gold Pioneers should be grateful that he helped them escape, given the difficulty of clearing the Void Divine Treasure World. They had already been trapped inside for centuries and could have spent many more years inside. If not for him, these people would have likely met the same fate as those Silver Pioneers who had been trapped for centuries, burying their entire lives in this Divine Treasury World. "Sacred Li, " called Mu Hai, his expression grave. "Do you have any more information about the Void Emperor?" Considering Li Pin's identity, at this moment, Astral God Mu Hai was no longer in a position to use true spirit projection to reflect Li Pin's mind and obtain the answers he sought. Li Pin obviously understood this as well. Recalling his experiences in the Void Divine Treasure World, he sighed. "There is some information, I suppose. I will organize it and send it to you." He paused for a moment before adding, "The chances of bringing the Void Emperor into our faction—the Existence Faction—are very low. However, ensuring that he remains neutral and does not threaten our race's development should not be too difficult." "Just this one piece of information alone is probably worth a Cosmic Radiance Divine Weapon," replied Mu Hai solemnly. "If this information can be verified, we won't need to allocate a Supreme to confront or guard against the actions of the Void Emperor when we detect his existence in the future. This will be crucial, whether in interspecies wars or in battles against Void Faction beings." "Judging by your appearance, clearing this Divine Treasure World must have been quite exhausting. You should go and get some rest," Mu Hai said. Li Pin did not stand on ceremony. He soared into the air, nodded at Fang Chunyang, Xu Anping, and Lie Qingqing from afar, and flew straight toward the nearby metallic planet. Ran Shenji followed Li Pin's gaze and looked at the Prestige Gold Pioneers, feeling a hint of envy. He had already apologized to Li Pin, and Li Pin had no intention of pursuing the matter, but there was still an obvious barrier between them. In the future, it would be completely out of the question for him to gain any benefits from Li Pin, the Humanity Sanctum's Sacred Child. These Prestige Gold Pioneers' talents might not be extraordinary. Aptitude and potential might allow them to become Astral Gods, but in theory, that was their limit. However, by forging a bond of camaraderie with Li Pin, a future Cosmic Tyrant, it was foreseeable that their future achievements could rival his own as an Eternal Solar Flare. If one of them happened to have a fortunate encounter and accumulated enough strength over time, it wouldn't be completely hopeless for them to become even a Cosmic Radiance. After bidding farewell to the Astral God Mu Hai and the others, Li Pin immediately returned to his residence. The reason he did not engage in further conversation with them was partly because the excessive consumption of the Great Dao Radiance had left him exhausted in both body and mind. Another reason was his condition. He had used the Great Dao Radiance to trace back time, or rather, by using the power of the Great Dao as a medium and borrowing Sasha's strength to analyze the information within the Divine Treasure World controlled by Baili Zhu's residual consciousness. From this, not only did he see the monologue left behind by the Void Emperor for Baili Zhu, but he also heard another dialogue. He had not misheard. It was destiny. He had come across the term destiny in many ancient texts. However, the records of destiny in those texts were extremely superficial. He only realized the weight behind the word after coming across Supreme Dao Origin's Endless Reincarnation Secret Art. That secret art progressed step by step from fortune to reincarnation and finally to destiny, seemingly outlining an entirely new domain. Even Supreme Dao Origin's understanding of these powers was limited to fortune and reincarnation. No one knew whether he had fully mastered the power of reincarnation. However, according to Supreme Dao Origin's speculations, this realm seemed to truly exist. And now, he was hearing this term once again from the Void Emperor. He couldn't be sure whether the Void Emperor was lamenting his own fate or whether there was a hidden meaning behind this word. But as the Void Emperor, the transcendental existence of the Void Faction, he should not possess such emotions. But if that was not the case, could it be that he had truly perceived and chanced upon that kind of power? A power greater than the Supreme, Highlord, and the Transcendent? Li Pin pondered this word carefully. Was it truly an emotional outburst, signifying that he had not yet transformed into a true Transcendent, nor fully embraced the Void? Or had some greater force arranged the destiny of the Void Emperor!
