Chapter 955: Common Sense

Li Pin fully displayed his concept of Existence.

His Existence clashed intensely with the operation of the world's rules. The resulting impact transformed into visible ripples that spread outward in circles.

These ripples caused massive tremors throughout the plane. Lightning streaked the sky, and thunder rumbled in the heavens. The earth split apart rapidly. The structure of matter gradually collapsed, and energy patterns slowly reversed.

He did not need to use any divine powers nor do anything at all. His mere existence caused the entire plane to collapse at a terrifying speed.

Such was the current Li Pin—even a single avatar held unimaginable power.

This astonishing display instantly alerted Divine God Yao Hui, who had been sent to find him.

As this plane collapsed due to the interference of his existence with the order of matter, energy, and even spacetime, beams of divine light descended from the heavens, forming figures exuding brilliant divine radiance.

These were Deities belonging to the Divine God Yao Hui's divine hierarchy, and since they were nearby, they arrived at incredible speed.

However, the first deities to arrive, seeing that Li Pin's mere existence had already rendered the plane's rules inoperable and pushed it toward collapse, were stunned.

As his existence grew stronger, this collapse spread in a chain reaction to the surrounding areas. Even these powerful Deities' faces changed drastically, and they dared not act rashly.

Only when another rainbow-colored stream of light appeared did the first-arriving Deities find their backbone, stepping forward together to greet the newcomer. "God Huang Sha."

Li Pin slightly raised his head.

A figure enveloped in flowing brilliance appeared before him, clad from head to toe in golden battle armor.

From him, Li Pin sensed an aura similar to the Dao Realm.

Although it appeared slightly different and was somewhat simplistic compared to the Dao Realm recorded in the Null's records, this scene undoubtedly proved that his Dao Realm was not unique.

Perhaps... this might be one of the correct paths to becoming a Liberator.

"A middle-tier Deity's God Kingdom is basically equivalent to a Supreme's miniature universe. However, unlike Supremes, who must cultivate independently to break through and gather cosmic matter, energy, and spacetime to form a miniature universe, middle-tier deities in this world seem to have a specific system.

"As long as conditions are met, the operation of the world laws allows them to achieve powers akin to a middle-tier Deity that is similar to a Supreme. It's like... a status granted by the universe..."

Li Pin observed these deities. "The middle-tier Deities who rely on status wield power similar to Supremes, but compared to upper-tier Deities, the gap is significant. This does not mean upper-tier Deities are much stronger than I was when I first comprehended the Dao Realm, but because upper-tier Deities can suppress a middle-tier Deity's status with the power of their Dao Realm..."

It was a rather contradictory power system. However, Li Pin could now understand the reason behind this contradiction. The focus of a power system was not on logic, but on enabling the world to operate more conveniently and stably.

"Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon?" The upper-tier Deity known as God Huang Sha furrowed his brow. "About to go to war with a new world? I wonder what path this world follows! Creation or Chaos?"

Yet his eyes showed little worry. Since leaving the Empyrean World, they had encountered over ten universes. Either they feared each other and gave way, or they were directly devoured.

Now that the great Supreme God, the King of Empyrean, had initiated the attack, it proved that the strength of that universe or the Creators and chaotic beings was inferior to theirs. Thus, if they could seize the opportunity to gain merit, his foundation would inevitably grow stronger. He might even establish his own divine hierarchy and rise to become a stronger God Monarch or Divine Emperor.

God Huang Sha did not object to such skirmishes. In fact, he even looked forward to it. After all, he had become an upper-tier Deity through resources gained from invading a universe before.

"Sky, Fama! Follow me into battle!"

God Huang Sha called upon the two strongest middle-tier Deities among his followers and instantly transformed into a streak of light, charging directly at Li Pin.

As he charged, the spear in his hand burst with dazzling brilliance, as if releasing the power of a blazing sun, forming radiant flames that smashed toward Li Pin.

Li Pin did not dodge. He allowed the sun-like flames to strike him, even sensing clearly the unique corrosive power within them, entirely distinct from matter, energy, time, or space.

"It really is the Dao Realm," Li Pin muttered calmly.

God Huang Sha had truly reached the level of deriving a Dao unique to himself.

However...

"This is a world created by a Liberator, and all planes within involve deities and beliefs. Many cannot form their own faith. Under these circumstances, although these upper-tier deities have nurtured their own Dao, achieving a complete Dao Realm is almost impossible..."

He allowed the Dao Realm power within the flames to strike his body. Yet, he stood as if he were indestructible, impervious to all forces. No matter how fiercely the flames raged, nor how overwhelmingly the Dao Realm's power surged within them, they could not move him in the slightest.

It seems this Liberator does not like other Liberators being born in his world. Or, if they are born, they must worship him. Otherwise, he would rather not have them. But... could anyone really have a talent so monstrous that they could achieve Liberation even in such an environment?

Li Pin pondered, as if he could perceive the Liberator's complex and contradictory feelings—he wanted to nurture Liberators, yet he feared they'd grow beyond his control.

With this thought, Li Pin formed his fingers into a sword and slashed forward. Instantly, the blazing sun-like brilliance in front of him was cleaved apart by the sword light.

The momentum of the sword that shattered the flames continued to strike toward the upper-tier deity's body. Yet, facing a sword capable of annihilating his divine body, this upper-tier deity not only showed no fear, but also wore a faint smile of superiority.

Yes, a sense of superiority. An upper-tier deity actually felt superior toward a Liberator. This was simply incomprehensible.

As Li Pin pondered briefly, a sudden anomaly occurred in the spatial layers above the plane. A black lightning, no less formidable than the previous one, streaked through the void. It followed his burst of aura. It was so dark and profound that it seemed capable of devouring the entire plane.

Li Pin instantly understood the source of the upper-tier deity's superiority.

"This world has something akin to a Heavenly Tribulation, specifically to counter foreign forces? It's one thing for me to display my Existence, but if I act, it will trigger this power's attack?"

Without any hesitation, he instantly entered a hyper-spatial state, unleashing his Heavenly Fate Art to the fullest. Invisible ripples radiated from him, as if freezing everything around.

God Huang Sha with his spear, appeared from the void. He was akin to the world's natural defense—black lightning—and the sword light he had unleashed...

All were enveloped by the radiance of the Heavenly Fate Art.

Li Pin froze the past, the present, and... attempted in this way to change the imminent future that had not yet occurred.

For example, he directly overtook the Eternal Swordlight he had previously slashed in the past, and before its full power could erupt, actively reined it in.

The present him caught up with his past him and merged with it, ensuring that everything that should have happened never did.

And since nothing ever happened, the world's defense mechanism naturally wasn't triggered.

Rumble!

As the Heavenly Fate Art's radiance faded, the black lightning streaking across the heavens seemed to lose its target and, after a roar, vanished from God Huang Sha's perception.

God Huang Sha, who had believed he could teach this extraterritorial Heavenly Demon a lesson using the world's laws, was taken aback.

For them, dealing with the extraterritorial Heavenly Demons did not require defeating them. They only had to provoke the Heavenly Demons into counterattacking. Once the world's laws sensed the Heavenly Demons' aura, the power of the laws would automatically launch a lethal strike against them.

This was why he showed no fear facing Li Pin and even felt assured of victory when Li Pin counterattacked.

But now...

Swoosh!

"Seems you guys are very familiar with this kind of battle... Have you fought Liberators before? How did you fight them?"

The next moment, in a way that God Huang Sha could not comprehend, Li Pin suddenly appeared at his side.

"Forget it, I'll just watch directly. I should be able to gather much of the information I want."

His inner spirit power echoed perfectly within the inner spirit world of this upper-tier deity.

Wait!? My inner spirit world!?

God Huang Sha was horrified. He instantly attempted to seal his mind, risking damage to his Dao Realm, and envisioned the great Supreme God—the King of Empyrean—to suppress all attacks within his mind.

But... it was too late.

Though they had both achieved the Dao Realm, before Li Pin's Dao, God Huang Sha's Dao was no different from a newborn infant. He couldn't resist in the slightest.

A force of overwhelming, unshakable, invincible will surged into his inner spirit world, instantly shattering, annihilating, and reducing all his consciousness to nothingness.

All information hidden within his mind was laid bare.

The Creator path, Chaotic lifeforms path, the various universes within Void of Chaos...the Empyrean World...

Countless pieces of information circulated deep within Li Pin's inner spirit.

Although he did not touch the highest-level secrets, all the basic knowledge of the Void of Chaos had been revealed to him.
