Chapter 792: Comprehend the Dao

"Void..."

Li Pin sensed the scene of himself "eroding Li Pin."

Even in his current state, he could not help but fall into a brief daze. "How could this be...?"

He had eroded the original "Li Pin" just like the Void eroded Existence, and from the act, he came into being.

Li Pin looked down at his hands. "I am... a being born from the void?"

His body had long been reconstructed into a Divine form. If he were in the Material World, he could easily crush a planet with just a single drop of his blood.

Standing within a star system, his very presence would disrupt the system's gravitational balance like a black hole, causing all the planets to slowly orbit toward him.

If he willed it, he could turn those planets, and even the star at the system's core, into his satellites.

Given enough time, more and more stars would be drawn to him. It wouldn't just be a few, but hundreds, thousands, and eventually millions or even billions. He would become like a supermassive black hole holding an entire galaxy together.

Such a divine body should have long transcended the concept of "hands." Yet, out of the lingering habits of a "human," he maintained this form and perception.

Just like the superhumans and gods humanity imagined. They were just beings powerful enough to shatter planets, not the kind whose mere touch could deform the very nature of matter.

All beings beyond human comprehension were instinctively repelled, feared, and labeled as evil or as evil gods.

Just like... the Void.

"Impossible," Li Pin spoke firmly, "I am not the Void. My current state... is simply beyond my understanding.

"Or rather, among all I know, only the Void most closely resembles what I am experiencing. That's why I felt this state was similar to the Void's power. But what actually happened between me and 'Li Pin'... the correct term should be..."

Rebirth? A transition from one form of death to a new life? A kind of...

"Reincarnation," Li Pin muttered.

It was the power of reincarnation.

He abruptly turned his gaze back to those Abyssal Beasts, and those so-called beings of the Void faction.

Could it be... their power is also reincarnation? The essence of the Abyssal Beasts' power was reincarnation!?

It's just that due to various reasons, their control over it remained incomplete. Thus, they needed to rely on the power of "existence" to fully manifest the cycle of reincarnation?

Moreover... considering that the Abyssal Beasts and Void Creatures only existed briefly after eroding lives from the faction of Existence, he suspected that the powers they manifested were also incomplete.

"Three begets all things... The most solid and stable structure of the universe should be composed of three fundamental elements."

Li Pin pondered,

At first, I believed the forces shaping the universe were matter, energy, and spirit. Later, I realized matter and energy could be seen as one—matter can transform into energy, and energy can condense into matter. Thus, they could be collectively described as mass or substance.

As for spirit, it stems from the mind, and the mind is the foundation of all things, pointing straight to the origin of the Dao. Therefore, this original theory was clearly too crude. I began to think that the new forces should be time and space instead.

But even time and space were not separate. Upon reaching the realm of the Divine Emperor, time and space merged into one—spacetime.

In other words, time and space were not the second and third forces.

The second force should be spacetime.

And the third... must come from another source.

He had speculated it could be Fortune. But relying solely on Fortune was clearly insufficient. Therefore, he soon realized what it truly was.

Li Pin realized. "It is reincarnation."

The moment he grasped this truth, countless streams of insight flooded his mind and consciousness. An unprecedented ease and clarity filled the depths of his inner spirit. He even let his mind go blank, allowing himself to be fully immersed in the flood of inspiration born from his sudden enlightenment.

Letting his inner spirit bathe in this vast freedom, supreme liberation, and ultimate fulfillment.

An involuntary smile surfaced on his face. "My Dao is complete."

Radiant light spilled in all directions, and the Great Dao Radiance in his mind flashed constantly.

The clash of brilliant thoughts intertwined with the Great Dao Radiance, as if reaching the ultimate sublimation, unleashing an unprecedented brilliance.

This brilliance dazzled like a diamond. It even seemed tangible, far from an illusion.

It truly possessed a unique texture—illusory and ethereal, yet undeniably real.

Within this radiant brilliance, the Great Dao Radiance appeared to split into three, with three types of power constantly shifting and merging within it.

Mass, spacetime, and reincarnation.

The three fused into one, forming a chaotic mass, and deep within that chaos, it was as if a brand-new form of life was quietly being nurtured.

However, Li Pin had only fully grasped the concept of mass, the fusion of matter and energy. He had barely begun to approach the realms of spacetime and reincarnation.

Because of this, the forces of spacetime and reincarnation were far too weak to support the fusion with mass. They appeared extremely dim, unable to truly bring forth that nascent life from the depths of chaos.

Li Pin quietly sensed the ongoing changes. "Spacetime, reincarnation."

He had a feeling that once this lifeform within the chaos was infused with the powers of spacetime and reincarnation, it would be fully birthed. At that point, it would not be limited to merely reaching the level of Supreme or Highlord.

After all, the moment he comprehended the concept of space within the laws of spacetime, he had already grasped a part of the Supreme essence. If he were to fully condense spacetime, he would, to some extent, stand on equal footing with Supremes and Highlords.

If he further added the power of reincarnation on top of that, he would truly break free from all the shackles binding Supremes and Highlords in this universe, stepping into a brand-new realm and ushering in an unprecedented era of greatness for the entire cosmos.

"Abyssal Beasts and Void Creatures are born from the power of reincarnation. In a sense, they are remnants of things that have already perished, similar to how ghosts in the mortal world are the lingering spirits of the dead, surviving by absorbing yang energy. To completely resolve the threat of Abyssal Beasts and Void Creatures... one must fully comprehend the power of reincarnation."

Li Pin thought of Supreme Dao Origin.

The Supreme had already walked far along the path of destiny and had genuinely touched upon the realm of reincarnation. He could even, through various means, assist others in undergoing rebirth and starting anew.

However, such a rebirth was clearly not a true rebirth. At best, it was merely switching to a new body, without fundamentally altering the core of one's mind and soul. Or rather, only a part of it was stripped away, preserving the most essential part.

It was like leaving behind all worldly possessions, yet the person remained the same. It was hardly something that could be called a true new life. At most, it was starting over in a different direction.

"He likely studied the power of reincarnation through the Abyssal Beasts and Void Creatures. These beings may be flawed, but their origin lies in the essence of reincarnation itself. They are, in fact, the best teachers for any cultivator seeking to step into the power of reincarnation."

Li Pin was not someone stingy with his insights. He never hesitated to share his understandings and discoveries with others.

As for the path of mass, spacetime, and reincarnation... before completing it, he dared not claim it right or wrong, lest he lead others astray.

As for the fact that Abyssal Beasts and Void Creatures were derivatives of reincarnation, he saw no harm in offering Supreme Dao Yuan a direction to explore.

He activated the Primordial Spirit Art and directly sent the information to Supreme Dao Origin.

After sending the message, he did not receive an immediate response. But that was only natural; Supremes had countless matters to handle every day and could not possibly reply instantly to every message.

It was much like how ordinary people, when busy, might not immediately check or reply to their phone messages. If quick, they might respond within minutes; if slow, perhaps an hour or two later.

Yet for Supremes, a few minutes or a few hours in human terms could easily equate to several, dozens, or even hundreds of stellar years.

He had delivered the message. Whether the Supreme chose to venture into the Abyssal Rift to study the Abyssal Beasts and Void Creatures was for himself to decide.

At that moment, Sasha, sensing that Li Pin had stabilized his inner spirit, cautiously asked, "Li Pin, are you alright?"

Li Pin smiled slightly. "Me? I'm fine."

Then, feeling that this alone did not fully capture his current state, he added, "Better than ever."

Sasha remained silent, seemingly lost in calculation.

After a moment, she seemed to recall something. "The You Ying Palace sent word. They detected an Abyssal Beast appearing in this area. Since you happened to be cultivating here, they hoped you could deal with it..."

She paused briefly, then added, " Since you've already handled it... and earlier, when you seemed to enter a state of enlightenment, I could feel your True Spirit undergoing a remarkable transformation, becoming even more radiant. That's why I didn't disturb you."

Li Pin sensed his inner spirit, which resembled the True Spirit, yet at the same time, was not quite the same, and gave a faint nod. "My True Spirit."

Through that earlier transformation, his True Spirit had indeed grown significantly.

If nothing else, the duration of his activation of the Power of the Past through the Endless Reincarnation had extended sharply, and the effective range had also increased dramatically.

Previously, whenever a battle between him and Tyrant-level opponents escalated to the True Spirit level, he had no choice but to seek a swift resolution.

Now... he might just be able to endure a drawn-out clash.

"True Spirit-level confrontations usually happen only between opponents whose strength is extremely close. Normal methods become meaningless, and only by 'pitting inner force against inner force' can a victor be decided. This approach, however, doesn't suit my combat style."

If he ever found himself in such a situation, he would definitely take risks to seek a breakthrough rather than engage in a grinding duel.

Nonetheless... even if he avoided direct True Spirit duels, the strengthening of his True Spirit was enough to support far more intense battles requiring frequent use of the Power of the Past.

"My inner spirit has indeed improved." Li Pin nodded. "But this improvement is still far from enough to sweep through the Ten Thousand Tribes Dominion War. I must continue cultivating."

He felt how the close encounter with the Abyssal Beast had tempered his Primordial Abyss True Demon Form. The effect was far greater than simply observing the Abyssal Rift.

He could even slightly refine the Primordial Abyss True Demon Form itself, integrating the power of reincarnation into this Supreme Secret Art. Just as he had improved the Endless Reincarnation and the Quantum Sword Intent before.

With that, Li Pin made his decision. "Send word to the You Ying Palace. The moment they detect any Abyssal Beast or Void Creature, they are to notify me immediately. From now on, I'm taking charge of every Abyssal Beast and Void Creature within this Abyssal Rift."
