Li Qingyun's thoughts raced as he searched for a "way out."
The greater his hopes had been when he came, the greater his disappointment and bewilderment were now.
"Are they all dead things? No, no, no—let me think. The very purpose of the Outer Ruin's existence should be for 'life,' because it shelters thousands of fragile great bubbles. It cannot be completely dead!"
"The last time I came to the Outer Ruin seeking an opportunity in the Primordial Vacuum, the Vacuum had originally been 'dead' as well. Yet that gray shadow figure on the bronze block still collected it with a single decree."
"My body, blood, and spirit have merged into emptiness, yet the Outer Ruin gave no response whatsoever. Most likely, it is comparatively 'dead,' while my aura is too weak—too weak to qualify to awaken it!"
"Weakness cannot provoke any response or change. Then the essence of overcoming weakness..."
Li Qingyun would never "admit defeat" like this.
Since setting foot upon the Dao Path, he had repeatedly found a way out where there was none, pushing every realm to its limit before attaining his present fortune.
Put another way, he was the sort of madman who could make even an iron tree bloom for him.
There was an innate stubbornness in his bones, and he was especially adept at burrowing into a dead end.
After pondering for a while, he finally found a direction.
Before the Outer Ruin, even quasi-Saints were mere "little brothers." Even Outside Void Existences could not destroy this place.
As a Vacuum Realm Great Perfection cultivator, he was even less than nothing.
By normal "logic," an ant of the Vacuum Realm could never leave the universe and reach the Outer Ruin.
So, he really was far too weak!
