Planet Pulverizer: A Mortal's Ascent-Chapter 560: Giving Gifts

Mu Qiu froze. "You defeated Cui Fan's combat-specialized avatar?"

He then made a face that clearly said, "Are you joking with me?"

But when he saw Li Pin's honest expression, his face slowly turned serious.

After a long pause, he finally asked, "You're serious?"

"Of course." Li Pin pulled out two Divine Items—the Reaper Blade and the Singularity Pearl. "These are my spoils."

"The Singularity Pearl from the Shana Divine Mountain!"

Seeing one of the Divine Item in Li Pin's hands, Mu Qiu gasped sharply.

He still found it hard to believe, unable to understand how Li Pin, a Divine Being, could be strong enough to crush an Astral God's combat-specialized avatar. However, the fact that Li Pin had the corresponding Divine Items made it undeniable.

"You... you really...."

Mu Qiu soon realized that asking such a question was unnecessary. After all, Li Pin had no reason to lie to him. What would he gain from that?

Mu Qiu's thoughts stirred. Besides, the Divine Item is enough to confirm the truth.

For a moment, his voice trembled. "How... how did you do it?"

"The Astral God's combat-specialized avatar? It's really strong."

Li Pin thought back to the life-or-death battle with White Mirror... Astral God Cui Fan's combat-specialized avatar. "If it weren't for the Solar Flare Divine Weapon I have, I would've been killed in one strike."

"The Solar Flare Divine Weapon..."

It was then that Mu Qiu remembered why Cui Fan had targeted Li Pin in the first place. The Solar Flare Divine Weapon...

For a while, Mu Qiu's expression turned complicated. He wasn't sure whether to gloat or envy. But in the end, envy won out.

After all, if they had gotten their hands on the Solar Flare Divine Weapon, they would have sold it immediately, converting it into cultivation resources more suited to their current level. This way, they would also avoid being targeted by Astral Gods and facing constant danger.

Li Pin shared, "Of the two Divine Items, the Reaper Blade amplifies damage, compensating for the Astral God's avatar's attack weakness and low energy level flaw. I don't need that, so it's of no use to me.

"The Singularity Pearl slightly reduces the Astral World's influence on the avatar, allowing it to travel like a Tier Six Legend. Too bad I'm a Divine Being. Traveling with my Natal Planet is like driving a truck across a single log bridge. So this thing is useless to me, too."

Li Pin glanced at Mu Qiu. "So, I'm thinking of selling them in the Divine Treasury Hall. Do you know any good channels?"

Mu Qiu snapped back to reality. "You're selling the Divine Items?"

Li Pin responded, "Yes."

While Fei Bo had good trading channels, they didn't extend to the level of selling divine equipment.

Mu Qiu couldn't resist asking, "Divine Items are powerful enough to change the tide for any faction in both the Material World and the Astral World. Are you sure you want to sell them?"

"Of course," Li Pin replied.

He knew how precious Divine Items were.

Even if an Astral God reached the Perfect Realm, that only ensured their power didn't dissipate. But how could he ensure the opponent's power would perfectly counteract his attack?

He might be able to perceive the opponent's every move, but if the opponent held Divine Weapons, this perception would be greatly reduced. Divine Weapons could raise a being's energy level to a point where even Astral Gods couldn't ignore it.

Many Astral Gods struggled to deal with a Tier Six Legend wielding Divine Weapons.

Using less power would make it impossible to kill the opponent, and using more power could be risky. The opponent might choose not to activate theDivine Weapon at the last moment, forcing him to bear the massive burden of the Eternal Oblivion Force, even at the cost of their own life.

It wasn't just Tier Six Legends; the Ascendants under the Astral Gods' command were the same.

Crushing an insect might dirty one's shoes, not to mention attracting hundreds or thousands more. The shoes could be cleaned, but what if the bacteria on the insects caused an infection?

Therefore, many Astral Gods simply chose to avoid such situations. Their reasoning was simple—having achieved eternal life, they could enjoy everything the Material World offered. Why bother fighting to the death with Ascendants or short-lived Tier Six Legends?

"The Divine Treasury Hall has a dedicated Divine Items recycling channel. They offer fair prices, usually equal to the exchange value. Unless your Divine Weapon has a special effect, recycling it directly is the best option."

Mu Qiu looked at the Reaper Blade and Singularity Pearl with a sour expression. "Among these two Divine Items, the Reaper Blade increases killing power, but its properties are quite ordinary. The Singularity Pearl is a standard Divine Weapon from the Shana Divine Mountain, so it probably won't have any added value."

Li Pin nodded. "Got it."

With that, he decided to recycle them at the Divine Treasury Hall. Once Shi Xing and Li Yunyao mastered their inner spirit power, he would head to the Void Divine Treasury Hall.

"I'll head back now."

"Wait," Mu Qiu called out. "When you go to the Void Divine Treasury Hall, give me a few months' notice. Master's combat-specialized avatar will come and accompany you for protection..."

Li Pin smiled upon hearing that. "You're worried about me being ambushed again after leaving the Yin Luo Galaxy, right? Don't worry, I've got it under control."

Mu Qiu explained, "Preventing any Astral God from sending an avatar to take you is one reason. Aside from that... the Void Divine Treasury Hall isn't part of the Yuan Yang Star Domain. It's located at the edge of the Frostbound Star Abyss. With your privileges as an Ace Pioneer, you can use the Astral Gates inside the hall.

"However, even if everything goes smoothly, it will still take about half a stellar year, or even one or two stellar years if things don't. But if Master's combat-specialized avatar accompanies you as a special talent, you can skip through all the Astral Gates along the way. That would only take about one or two stellar months."

"One or two stellar years, one or two stellar months..." Li Pin thought for a moment before nodding. "Alright."

He turned and walked toward another Astral Gate.

Watching Li Pin leave, Mu Qiu remained where he stood, motionless for a long time. After a while, he sighed, his voice thick with envy. "The Solar Flare Divine Weapon..."

If only I had the Solar Flare Divine Weapon... How wonderful that would be. With my talent, even without matching an Astral God's combat-specialized avatar, wielding such a treasure would surely be enough to defeat an ordinary avatar, right?

The key was that the resources from selling the Solar Flare Divine Equipment would likely be enough for him to become an Astral God.

Unfortunately... such a treasure was in the hands of a Divine Being, one he obtained from breaking open the Divine Treasure World.

A Divine Weapon originating from the divine treasure world would be safeguarded by the Divine Treasury Hall, guaranteeing its owner protection against theft.

Although many Astral Gods, including Mu Qiu, were envious, few would dare to steal it, risking angering the Divine Treasury Hall and becoming targets of this elite faction.

Li Pin's victory over Cui Fan's combat-specialized avatar caused ripples in the Mara Divine Treasury Hall. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

However, since Mu Qiu attributed the win solely to the Solar Flare Divine Weapon, the impact was not overwhelming.

Upon hearing the news, many didn't feel shock or reverence; instead, they were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred. They wished they were the ones holding the Solar Flare Divine Weapon. Even some Astral Gods were no exception.

Yet, the Astral Gods in the Mara Divine Treasury Hall who had experienced the Ruoxi Sword and the World Heart firsthand found the situation odd.

Both the Ruoxi Sword and World Heart were auxiliary-type weapons. When had they ever been capable of such combat effectiveness? How could they allow a Divine Being to defeat an Astral God's combat-specialized avatar?

However, after the news spread, many pioneers, envious of Li Pin's sudden rise, were sparked by an unprecedented curiosity to explore the divine treasure world. So the Astral Gods in the Mara Divine Treasury Hall quickly suppressed their doubts and adopted an attitude of eager anticipation, even painting Li Pin as a model to the other pioneers.

It was like those who won big lottery prizes, eager to advertise in hopes of attracting more participants.

In this way, Li Pin's name spread quickly through the Divine Treasury Hall's circles, no longer confined to just the Mara Hall.

***

Li Pin hadn't paid attention to the Divine Treasury Hall. After returning to Gaia, he patiently guided Si Xing and Li Yunyao in their cultivation while digesting the results of his battle with the two Astral Gods.

He had originally planned to leave the World Heart in Gaia after visiting the Void Divine Treasury Hall, but he changed his mind. To master the Perfect Realm with the World Heart, he had no choice but to carry it with him.

Furthermore, leaving the World Heart in Gaia could easily bring disaster to the planet. Ultimately, he decided to leave Moon Spirit in Gaia to manage the operation of the Moon Goddess Domain and ensure the rapid development of Gaia's civilization.

One stellar month after his return to Gaia, Yu Clan's Patriarch, Yu Jianglong, arrived hurriedly with Yu Yu, Yu Hanyan, and two talented young women from the Yu Clan to offer their apologies.

***

Li Pin was a little surprised when he saw Yu Jianglong coming to apologize.

In the reception room, Yu Jianglong bowed for the third time. "This is a serious negligence on our part. Sacred Li, our younger generation was misled by a petty individual and offended you, but this was never our intention.

"The Yu Clan, from top to bottom, never meant to be enemies with you. In fact, we've always hoped to cooperate with you."

Li Pin understood the purpose of his visit and waved his hand. "No need for all this. I've said before, as long as you send a few Astral God's avatars... no matter the outcome of this battle, this matter will be considered settled."

He paused for a moment before adding, "Although only one avatar remained when I arrived, that was due to some unforeseen circumstances. But I can see your sincerity."

"No, this sincerity is not enough."

Yu Jianglong wasn't sure if Li Pin's words were true, but the Yu Clan still felt the need to make their stance clear.

Yu Jianglong proposed, "To show our true intentions, we are willing to transfer all the Yu Clan's investments in the Dragon Swamp Nebula, such as the Divine Refinement Peak, the Heart-Questioning Platform, and the Battle World, to you.

"Additionally, since Hanyan is ignorant, I've brought her to you, allowing you to deal with her as you see fit."

As he spoke, he quickly stepped aside, revealing Yu Hanyan and Yu Yu.

Li Pin glanced at Yu Hanyan. She seems... all dolled up?

As his eyes met hers, she offered a restrained, ladylike smile.

But Li Pin cared about none of that; his focus was elsewhere.

Why is she still a Tier Two Legend? Almost half a stellar year has passed, but she hasn't even leveled up a single tier?

At this rate, she would never be able to become his opponent in the future.

She was beyond saving.
