Emperor’s Domination

his mindset, he could live for a hundred years. As for an emperor like you, this grants you longevity and free passage in the world without the looming threat of the execution.”

“So many of your peers desire this, but no one can do it, outside for you and Mu Zhuo. However, he took it one step further and reached a state of repugnancy. Even the villainous heaven doesnt want him, so he cant die even if he wanted to.”

“Fellow Daoist Mu Zhuos grand dao is commendable.” The old man said: “I had the fortune of meeting him before. In terms of grand dao, his is too profound, not something we can do either.”

Li Qiye smiled and shook his head: “He has gone quite far on his dao, a place no one has reached before. However, he is waiting for death while you are living, a fundamental difference. Plus, you are also peerless on your path, all the other emperors have failed in trying to copy you.”

“This boils down to my contentedness and lack of ambition.” The old man said: “The top emperors are too ambitious, enough to shoulder twelve Heavens Wills and the power of the ages. Thats not something I can do either.”

“To gain is to lose.” Li Qiye gently sighed: “Twelve Heavens Wills can indeed allow one to reach the apex, but to gain for oneself is to take away from the world. Thats why the Heavenly Execution is there, not allowing them to live forever. Perhaps this is how it should be.”

“I am quite lucky to be like this right now.” The old man said.

“No such thing.” Li Qiye disagreed again: “Step by step to reach the will, your struggle was far more than anyone else. The arduous path towards the dao is unknown to those who have yet to experience it. The world only sees the glory of the emperors, not their pain and effort.”

The old man said: “The world also doesnt know about your great acts, Sacred Teacher, yet you still protect this world quietly in the shadows.”

Li Qiye shook his head: “Not for much longer, it is the responsibility of emperors to protect it now.”

The old man wasnt surprised to hear this. He nonchalantly asked: “What do you ask of me, Sacred Teacher? As long as it is possible, I will try my best. Though we are not from the same race, your doings and achievements demand our help.”

“Its nothing.” Li Qiye said earlier: “Well, my comment earlier wasnt a joke entirely. Of course, Im not going to light you, not right now. But when that day comes in the future, you can warn the world.”

“I understand, youre still worrying.” The old man said.

“Worry is a strong word, it is just that I should do what I can, thats all.” Li Qiye said: “Im sure that day is inevitable, who do you think will persevere or falter?”

The old man pondered before carefully replying: “I am too weak. The perspectives of the emperors are far beyond my grasp.”

The old man was prudence with his words because he wasnt sure either. His answers would have an impact on their reputation and life.

“I dont blame you.” This was within Li Qiyes expectation: “Everyone can falter, but Im confident that one persons dao heart wont – yours!”

“I appreciate your kind words.” The old man hurriedly said.

Li Qiye continued while shaking his head: “Kind words? No, I am pushing you towards your death. You know this.”

The old man eventually asked: “If there is meaning in my death, I certainly wont be afraid.”

“I know you will not be afraid, unlike the other emperors. Thats why Im here to see you.” Li Qiye nodded.

“The problem is my weak cultivation. I wont be able to stop the waves in the future. Only twelve-will emperors can.” The old man said.

“No one can be so sure, power alone doesnt mean they can bring prosperity to the world. Really, if these top beings will not hurt others when that day comes, it will already be quite amazing of them. As for whether to pay the price for the sake of others, thats too hard to say and predict.” Li Qiye said flatly.

“Im sure some will step up and protect, such as World Emperor.” The old man asserted.

“Geezer Qian? Im not trying to put down my lifelong rival, but Im afraid that it will be out of his control too.” Li Qiye chuckled.
