Emperor’s Domination

Stygian was another great world, once known as Golden Mortal World. Unfortunately, it also became the place where Devouring Alliance emerged.

Numerous overlords, immortals, and even someone as great as Mang appeared. The major world fell with their rise. Continents shattered and veins were drained dry…

The world turned into hell; its inhabitants vanished. As time passed, its greatness fell into oblivion.

“Golden Mortal World, such a distant name.” The old man said.

“Few know of it by now.” Li Qiye responded.

“I’m sure it will appear again.” He stopped looking at the horizon.

“Are you telling yourself or me?” Li Qiye said.

“This world no longer has anything to do with me.” He said.

“In terms of karma alone, that’s true after the severing. But if your pursuit is this world’s existence, then that’s no longer the case.” Li Qiye said.

“This karma started with Mang.” He said.

“I don’t know the deal, nor do I care to find out.” Li Qiye said: “Will you shoulder the new responsibility?”

“I don’t have to.” He said.

“You have to find the heart.” He said.

“Are you sure it is still there? Mang didn’t devour it?” Li Qiye asked.

“I’m sure because the golden lamp is still there.” He said.

“A lot of faith.” Li Qiye said.

“I trust the golden lamp, it has never extinguished after the dao heart was set ablaze. Not counting you, Golden Immortal is the most determined. I believe it.” He said.

“But you still left.” Li Qiye said.

“I did. At that time, I thought I was stuck in the past and not finding my path. I was not born in this world, nor was I rooted in it. Rise and fall are normal, I’ve witnessed them too many times. When Mang gave me a favorable condition, I chose to leave.” He sighed: “I could have stopped Mang since he hasn’t reached the shore yet.”

“There’s no ‘what if’.” Li Qiye said: “Just as you said, you were staying in the past and couldn’t be there forever.”

“I thought I could have arranged everything and let myself be in it endlessly.” He said.

“If that’s the case, you would never be able to sever this karma.” Li Qiye said.

“Right, so it’s time to lift my head, I leave it in your hands.” He said.

“I will repay my debt by sweeping it clean and letting it be reborn. Afterward, we are even.” Li Qiye said.

“Yes, even.” He nodded.

“Anything else?” Li Qiye stroked his chin.

“No, I haven’t been back since so I don’t know what it looks like right now. The fight between Min Ren and Mang devastated this world, but I still feel a faint ripple of the heart. However, it’s been closed for too long, I can’t sense where it is.” He said.

“It’s fine, I’ll find it.” Li Qiye said.

As long as you can find it, you can infuse enough power and vitality to revive it. The world will be reborn then.” He said.

“I can only guarantee life will return, not its prosperity. They will have to toil for it.” Li Qiye said.

“This is predicated on your wiping out Devouring Alliance to the core. That’s the only way.” He said.

“I promise Devouring Alliance will no longer exist in this world.” Li Qiye agreed.

“Min Ren was one step away and only managed to kill Mang. He couldn’t bring the sun back to it.” He said with a tinge of regret.

“You could have done something.” Li Qiye said.

“I couldn’t because my agreement with Mang was earlier than our agreement. I could only provide resources to help them, nothing more.” He shook his head.

“I’m not going to fuss over it since it’s my debt. Just repaying it is enough.” Li Qiye said.

“You’re going to be this easy?” He heaved a sigh of relief.

“You have carried out your end of the bargain all these years, I don’t need to worry about minor details.” Li Qiye said.

“Did you think about how I could have made unreasonable demands?” He smiled.

“Isn’t this one already?” Li Qiye said.

“Could have been worse since it’s your debt.” He said.

“A bad debt can be handled in countless ways. A clever person wouldn’t let a prime advantage turn into a worthless pile of junk.” Li Qiye said.

“True, then I suppose I should be grateful.” He said.

“It is a mutually beneficial transaction. You exercise propriety and I know how to repay a debt, this is key to our success. Oh, and that you’re the cleverest person in Heavenrealm.” Li Qiye said.

“I have sorted through the past and saw the shining lights, one being you, which was why I agreed. All the immortals back then would have viewed this as a terrible deal.” He said.

“Heroes recognize heroes. This is the perfect phrase to describe us.” Li Qiye laughed. Thɪs chapter is updated by NoveI★Fire.net

“Hahaha, although I’m no hero, bragging every once in a while is fine.” He laughed heartily as well.
