"Fate."
Gui Ling knew the specific meaning of that word.
But she clearly did not understand the deeper concept it represented.
A concept...
That stood above Eternal Ones.
Li Pin offered no further explanation.
Because...
It could not be explained.
Just as when the Void Great Emperor had first mentioned the word "fate" to him all those years ago, he had not taken it to heart at all.
He had even calmly believed that he could challenge fate and change fate.
Brimming with confidence.
High-spirited and full of vigor.

However...
What was done was done.
"Just as fate has arranged for me—if I am destined to surpass everything and keep charging toward higher realms, then... I accept."
Li Pin spoke softly in his heart.

Li Pin was calm and composed.
Fearless and unafraid.

"Whether it works or not, we will only know after trying. Success or failure, only by doing it can we obtain an answer."
Li Pin organized his thoughts, sorting through the crux of the matter.
If it involved fate...
He still had to start with the Void Great Emperor.
He immediately said, "I hope you can find someone for me..."
