Emperor’s Domination

t any sacred fruit at all and will return empty-handedly.” A powerful student thought that he was clearly superior.

The disdainful stares and sarcastic remarks intimidated Zhou Qiushi and the others. Some lowered their head while feeling out of place.

They have never experienced this prejudice back in Repentance. Their seniors and previous ancestors have never done anything wrong too.

However, others treated them as descendants of sinners from a fallen land, part of the lower class.

“Fools. Youre throwing away the reputation of the system.” Li Qiye gave the taunters the side-eye.

“Oh? You think you can talk big shamelessly without backing it up…” One student sneered.

“A fool is smug out of ignorance.” Li Qiye interrupted this student and said: “What is the light? It illuminates the living beings and removes pain and suffering, vying for an era devoid of worries. The myriad creations are not discriminated against and are treated the same way, whether it be mortals or heinous villains. Everyone can bask in the light and be freed from darkness. But look at you all now? Whats so special about you except being lucky enough to be born in this system with a well-off father and joining a decent academy? Yet here you are, gloating in front of weaker members in order to gain a sense of superiority. If you think you are so excellent and powerful, then go challenge those stronger than you, the True Emperors, progenitors, and supreme beings above the nine firmaments!”

He paused for a bit and glared at them: “Truly ask yourselves if you have this courage to challenge them and the confidence about eventually surpassing them?! If not, then shut your mouth and scram to the side. You are no different from the weak then, only more insecure with your pathetic conduct.”

Li Qiye didnt hold back at all. The other students turned red from ear to ear but couldnt come up with a retort.

“You have a sharp tongue but your bombastic talk has no real application outside of making you feel better about being weak. A weakling will always be a weakling just like how an ant will always be an ant.” One student snorted, still with derision.

He turned and left along with other students, leaving Zhou Qiushis group behind.

The members had different expressions and emotions. Some felt fear; others felt inferior; some were contemplating…

“Stop being so timid.” Li Qiye looked at them and said: “Were all ants compared to someone else but just remember, even an ant can bear its fangs proudly against the villainous heaven. Dont accept a fate of mediocrity and one day, your tiny fangs will cut through that sky.”

This comment struck them hard.What was there to be afraid of? Why should we feel inferior?

They have never done anything immoral in their lives. People came from different backgrounds and walks of life. As long as they kept working hard, they would be able to reach the peak one day too!

“Ill be an ant that will show my fangs!” Zhou Qiushi clenched his fists and murmured.

Li Qiyes words reverberated in their mind for a while.

“Sacred Mountain is right ahead. Value this rare opportunity and test your luck to see how many sacred fruits you can pluck.” Wenrui chuckled and interrupted their rumination.

The students regained their wits and started following Li Qiye into Sacred Mountain. Suddenly, they found Li Qiye to be different. They couldnt quite place their finger on the exact details but one thing was for certain, he might not be a fool at all.
