Chapter 822: The Strongest Status

"Once one leaves the Cradle, they will possess the strongest status, truly supreme and noble."

"This status will be universal within the infinite known lands and implemented throughout the entire Great Void. At that time, it will be the moment for us to counterattack the Calamity monsters."

The Great Void Will said.

"But it failed now."

Li Heng said.

"That is correct, it failed. Although we were very surprised that Calamity monsters appeared within the Cradle, I also had the intention of using these Calamity monsters to test the Dao Lords."

"Without our personal intervention, a Dao Lord Level being able to resolve the Calamity monsters invading the Cradle without any casualties is the minimum test, which is the passing line."

"Such a high requirement is just the passing line? Then what about higher?"

Li Heng was surprised.

"Relying on one's own power to counterattack the Calamity monsters and drive them out of the Cradle. But unfortunately, those nine Dao Lords did not achieve it."

"Your requirements are truly unrealistic; how could Dao Lord Level power achieve this? If you ask me, you should open up a higher upper limit."

Li Heng shook his head.

"No need. Dao Lord is a very special position that can withstand the strongest status; a little lower is too low, a little more is too much. Cultivating what is called Above Dao Lord is meaningless."

"After all, even Above Dao Lord is just opening up infinite realms; in reality, it is completely meaningless within the Great Void."

"What we look at is not the combat power of the Dao Lord realm, but the comprehensive quality and the potential revealed from within."

The Great Void Will explained.

"But your testing methods are primarily based on combat power?"

"No, they are not. According to our projections, a Dao Lord realm being who exerts all their authority can accomplish these things."

Li Heng frowned.

After thinking for a moment, he felt it was increasingly unrealistic.

To be honest, even if he wanted to resolve the Calamity and monsters within the Cradle without a single scratch, and even counterattack outward, he would have to use the Source Power cheat.

"I still think your requirements are unrealistic."

Li Heng shook his head.

"Perhaps, but it does not matter now."

"Indeed, the experiment of the Cradle has already failed, and the Dao Lords cannot fulfill our expectations. So you can see that even though you have now ascended to Dao Lord, you are not that transcendent."

A Great Void Will with a different tone spoke up.

"I object."

Suddenly, a voice rang out; listening to the sound, it was exactly the Great Void Will that Li Heng had first come into contact with.

"What are you objecting to? You were only born not long ago."

Other Great Void Wills said.

"Just because I was born not long ago does not mean I do not know things. You must think, Li Heng possesses the power to transcend the Great Void and collide with those Calamity monsters."

"Perhaps if we bestow the status upon him..."

However, before he could finish, Li Heng spoke up to interrupt.

"I refuse."

This Great Void Will who spoke was stunned.

"Why do you refuse? As long as you agree, what you will obtain will not be mere Dao Lord Level combat power, but the strongest combat power within the Great Void. Are you not tempted by this?"

Li Heng smiled slightly.

"I have said it before, I walk the Transcendence Path. Walking the Great Void Path on the side is fine, but if you want me to change my main path, then I will still refuse."

He had already perceived the essence of a Dao Lord being bestowed with the strongest status.

It was nothing more than a large-scale integration with the Dao.

The group of Great Void Wills felt surprised.

Although none of them had such thoughts, they felt strange after hearing Li Heng's such rapid refusal; this was the greatest opportunity within the Great Void.

"I can tell you have great confidence. But you must know that the Transcendence Path is a dead end; it has always been a minor Outer Path. Those beings of the Transcendence Path walk within the infinite Unknown, appearing brave, but in reality, they are foolish."

"That is correct, they are exploring the known named Unknown."

"Taking a step back, their exploration speed cannot compare to the expansion of the Great Void."

These Great Void Wills spoke one after another.

"Just because they cannot, does not mean I cannot."

Li Heng shook his head.

"What great courage. But, if you do not borrow the Great Void Path and Great Void Power, and we also do not intervene, how can you resolve the crisis before you?"

"We sense the main body of the Wriggling Thing is crossing the boundary."

Li Heng was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

No wonder this Wriggling Path had no extra movements until now; it turned out it was secretly guiding its main body to cross the boundary. It had already discovered the threat he posed and wanted to use thunderous means to completely crush him?

But it was to be expected.

An existence of this realm would not send small minions for him to level up.

"But you will not refrain from intervening."

Li Heng said after thinking for a moment.

The group of Great Void Wills were silent. It was indeed as Li Heng said; they would not refrain from intervening, because the Wriggling Thing's clone projection descending into the Great Void was one thing, but the main body descending had already crossed their bottom line and must be expelled.

"Then I must retract my evaluation that you have great courage. In the end, you are not overcoming this danger by your own power, but by relying on us," a Great Void Will said.

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"Facing unfathomable danger, when one has a choice, yet foolishly chooses solitary bravery, wanting to resist the unfathomable dangerous Unknown with the power of one person, that is a fool."

Li Heng shook his head and said.

It has nothing to do with courage; rather, to confront something powerful, one must utilize everything available to them—that is what is called efficiency.

"Why must you provoke him? He is very rational."

The nascent Great Void will said helplessly.

"What the hell do you know?"

"How long have you even been born? What do you understand?"

"Do you not understand that we are testing him?"

"We are not fools; we naturally know the value of the power this person possesses that can transcend the Great Void."

"Even with such power, we must still verify whether this person is trustworthy."

"That is correct, that is the very reason; if he is trustworthy, we will not be stingy with our investment, even if he does not walk the Great Void Path."

"But if he is not trustworthy..."

Within a private channel where a multitude of Great Void wills communicated, many Great Void wills berated the nascent Great Void will mercilessly, while simultaneously bringing up the matter of Li Heng.

"What would happen if he is not trustworthy?"

"I spent some time with him and thought he was quite good."

The nascent Great Void will said, puzzled.

The other Great Void wills did not answer and fell into silence.

But they knew that it was best not to head down that path. Otherwise, it would be no good for them, nor for Li Heng.

"Blasphemer against Greatness, die."

At this moment, the Wriggling Thing finally made a move; everything around it trembled, as its true form crossed the boundary, manifesting a Terror-inducing shadow in the Void that chilled the soul...
