The data brought by Redstone's breakthrough was incredibly valuable not only to Cedric but to everybody as well. Though obviously, those who would benefit from it soon-ish would, of course, be those who are nearing their breakthroughs.
Cedric himself was included amongst those people. No, he's not at the 9th Stage of the Void Refinement Realm right now, but he's getting there. In these past five years, he managed to have another breakthrough, getting him to the 8th Stage of Void Refinement, and his Inner World was approaching its current limits thanks to his consistent efforts.
It's not that Cedric didn't want to take the lead and see what's beyond the Void Refinement Realm. He actually thinks that it would make sense if he did, given that he's the pioneer of this path in this era. Unfortunately, plans can't keep up with the changes. Who would've thought that upon approaching the peak of the Void Refinement Realm, a person's time would be at a time limit?
