Emperor’s Domination

ltr ”>Li Qiye became sentimental since another part of his past resurfaced.
Of course, this was only in his memory since she was no longer around.

The only constant in this world was the grand dao.
Everything else would gradually disappear on the river of time, the same for all traces of them.
Li Qiye proved himself to be an exception thus far while others were mere passersby.

Who was more pitiful? Those who eventually obtain eternal rest or Li Qiye who would flow on the river of time forever like a mosquito larva?

Perhaps the length of the journey and the flow of the river of time were different for everyone.
A long-enough river would be able to drown out the most supreme genius and unbeatable master.
Even the lineage of someone with countless descendants would end one day.

Those who were capable of leaving indelible traces in history included the most terrifying existences.
They were dark butchers who stained the river with a tsunami of blood.

Meanwhile, the ancestors were talking with the clan master of the Lu.

“Virtuous Nephew, the young noble has returned in order to perform the Primordial Union.” Wise Ancestor revealed.

“The union?” The clan master’s eyes flashed brightly for a split second before dimming back down.

“You are surely aware of the union’s significance for our four clan.
It pertains to our glory.
Outsiders do not know but we, the descendants, are aware of our ancestors’ feat and contribution with the supreme existence.
The union was formed then and we shall have it again.” Wise Ancestor continued.

According to the legend, this phenomenon known as the Primordial Union was started after the duck egg buyer created Eight Desolaces.

“Get straight to the point.” The clan master pondered for a moment before asserting.
He wasn’t an idiot; people wouldn’t come bearing gifts for no reason.

Wise Ancestor glanced at his group.
Jian Ming understood and smiled: “Clan Master, our very foundation is the Tree of Contribution.
The young noble shall activate it again with the union and we will have primordial energy again.
Glory will then return to the four clans.”

“Hmph, so you want our dao stone.” The clan master scowled.

“Virtuous Nephew.” Wise Ancestor smiled wryly: “The four dao stones were left behind by our ancestors, not belonging to any single clan.
They were simply divided for safekeeping reasons.”

“Then what about our clan Willow Crest?” The clan master retorted.

“…” The trio couldn’t come up with a response right away.

Purpose coughed and said: “Virtuous Nephew, you know about the history of this.
The crest was given by an immortal in the distant years and represented ultimate authority.
We all know that it belonged to the Lu, but our four clans came up with an agreement.
The four clans would pick a leader to wear it.
Plus, the three clans have compensated as well.”

“We never said that it would last forever, and we haven’t had a leader for the last few eras.” The clan master was unsatisfied.
