Emperor’s Domination

ther and finding myself alone on this path… At that point, I think I might go crazy.”

Li Qiye sighed as well. The long years were truly endless.

“Thus, you have always been my pride.” She was still tightly clasping his fingers as she smiled: “You shouldnt waste something like the nine leaves on me. Make good use of it in other places instead.”

“Reincarnation.” Li Qiye chuckled in response: “Im afraid Ive never thought about reincarnating at all. Ive grown weary of living for so long, I just want to go all out in the end regardless of the outcome. In this generation, Im not thinking about starting over after losing. At the very best, I might just leave some backup plans.”

“I trust you, Young Master. Whether you win or lose, you will be the last one smiling. Defeat wont get you down since you will have a way of lifting your head again. I dont want to see you talk about defeat like this since you will certainly rise and become even stronger in order to take down your enemies.”

“Even if I have some backup plans, I wouldnt gamble on the twenty percent chance of the nine leaves.”

She smiled back at him. Ruonan knew that although her young master was always smiling, this was not the case for his heart. He rarely had moments of sincere happiness.

Eventually, Li Qiye and Su Yonghuang left the island to enter the Reincarnation Valley.

Once they arrived, cultivators from all over Heaven Spirit were constantly rushing into Godhalt for the Divine Tree Ridge. More than seventy percent of this group consisted of the white-haired elderly, some were even on the verge of death. These were the ones most desperate to prolong their lives.

“If the medicine for immortality doesnt exist, why did this news come out? Is someone deliberately misleading people? Is all of this a conspiracy?” Su Yonghuang noticed something was strange after seeing the horde of old ancestors coming to the ridge.

“Its not something big or anything, but it is indeed a ruse.” Li Qiye smiled and explained: “Meng Zhentian might not know anything, but the prince certainly knows a bit. After all, this is his territory.”

“The Spirit Abyss must be the sect spreading this, theyre the only ones capable of this at Godhalt.” Li Qiye stated: “Both Zhentian and the prince must be trying to mislead others.”

Yonghuang asked: “What is the purpose of this move?”

“Its easy to guess Zhentians motive. He wants the Heavens Will and is in an advantageous position at Heaven Spirit. If the Lunargrasp Fairy does not compete, hell be able to do whatever he wants without competition. However, he alone cant go against the other geniuses in the nine worlds. After all, everyone has backings and powerful lineages…”

Li Qiye smiled at this point: “The competition for the Heavens Will has grave consequences to everyones rise and fall. Because of this, the geniuses arent the only ones fighting. They have ample resources and dao protectors to subdue their enemies. It doesnt matter how strong Zhentian is, he still wont be able to take care of the rest of the nine worlds. He needs an Emperor Assailant to protect him and preside over everything…”

Yonghuang went straight to the point: “So he wants to use this medicine to attract Emperor Assailants for protection.”

“You can put it that way. Even if such existences wont fight for him on the battlefield, he still wants some of them to guard his base. Otherwise, if his base were to be attacked before the war even starts, he would be on the passive end right away. Of course, it isnt that easy to invite them. Ordinary treasures cant get into their eyes. These old men are most scared of death, so nothing is more tempting than an object of immortality.”

Yonghuang understood just how cruel the battle for the throne was. Even a character like Meng Zhentian would need to ask people for help in order to be successful regardless of his personal capabilities.
