Emperor’s Domination - Chapter 7175

[Chapter 7097 You Deserve It]

“It’s all up to you to decide.” Li Qiye smiled and said lightly.

The old man was silent for a moment, then he looked at Li Qiye and said, “Don’t you want to know?”

“What do you want to know?” Li Qiye smiled and said lightly.

The old man said: “The secret behind it, the secret you have always wanted to solve.”

“Yes, it was a secret I had always wanted to solve. Just as you said, this secret has always been hidden in my memory.” Li Qiye said with a smile, “I have also been struggling with this secret for a long time. According to your memory, this secret does not exist in your memory at all.”

“Humph, that’s because you didn’t find it.” The old man couldn’t help but snorted coldly and said with a sneer: “I didn’t cheat you.”

Li Qiye smiled and nodded, saying, “Indeed, you didn’t trick me. In fact, you didn’t know this secret before. The so-called memory is just your perception and speculation. This secret does not exist in the memory. However, when all the memories are put together, I can feel that there is indeed this secret behind it.”

“Right, I’ve already told you, the secret is in this memory.” The old man couldn’t help but say proudly, “I’ve always known that the secret is there, and I can solve it at any time.”

Li Qiye couldn’t help but glance at him and said, “Don’t flatter yourself. In fact, before, you didn’t know what this secret was, you just had a feeling. Now that you have revealed some of it, you are acting like an afterthought.”

“Believe it or not, if you don’t believe it, forget it.” The old man looked a little arrogant.

“Believe it, why not?” Li Qiye nodded and said.

The old man glared at Li Qiye and said, “Do you still want to know this secret?”

“You have to know that if I want this secret, you have to pay a price.” Li Qiye smiled and said, “If you want to pay this price, then you will not be the one who can solve it.”

The old man fell silent. After a long while, he slowly said, “This secret is very big, so big that it can break the sky. If you know this secret, it will help you in your battle with the thief sky. It may also help you when you get your own answer.”

“Maybe, but not necessarily.” Li Qiye shook his head gently and said, “I am enough to fight against the sky.”

“Oh, you are getting more arrogant and more confident.” The old man glanced at Li Qiye and said, “It seems like you are absolutely sure. Do you know what the thief God has in his hands?”

“Nothing matters.” Li Qiye said with a faint smile: “I only know that I don’t need anything. Just me is enough.”

“Can you just do that to Heaven?” The old man looked at Li Qiye and could not help but stand up. He looked Li Qiye up and down and said, “What realm are you in?”

“What kind of realm do you think it is?” Li Qiye said with a smile.

“It’s not just letting go. Letting go is not like this anymore.” The old man looked at Li Qiye and said slowly, “All of this doesn’t seem like letting go.”

“I can only say that I am a mortal, an ordinary person, and a very ordinary passerby.” Li Qiye said with a smile.

“Pah…” The old man said disdainfully, “Mortals, ordinary people, have seven emotions and six desires, they have pursuits in the world, and they have their own persistence. You are nothing, you are not a human being at all, not from this world.”

“I also have seven emotions and six desires. If I didn’t have them, would I still come to help you solve them?” Li Qiye said with a faint smile.

The old man didn’t buy Li Qiye’s tricks and shook his head, saying, “You are not talking about the seven emotions and six desires, but about cause and effect. You are just going through the cause and effect, that’s all. You know you have to go through it, and you know the result, so you just go through it like this, without any emotion at all.”

“These words are hurtful.” Li Qiye said with a smile: “I have walked through this world with emotions. Just like you, am I not also full of emotions? Please come and explain it to you.”

“If you say that you are in your previous realm, I believe you. Don’t forget that I also have your memory.” The old man sneered and said, “The previous Li Qiye, the previous Yin Crow, was indeed full of emotions for this world, with deep love and deep obsession. He would be angry because of hatred and fight because of love…”

“…But, now you have nothing. What you have done is just a repetition of cause and effect. From the beginning to the end of what is happening now, you know how it starts and how it ends. Moreover, you are just cooperating with this cause and effect, just like acting.”

“You are too cruel to say that. I am expressing my true feelings.” Li Qiye said with a smile: “You have turned my true feelings into a cause-and-effect machine without any emotion.”

“That’s about right.” The old man gave him a cold look and said, “Even if you are expressing your true feelings, it is only within this cause and effect. Outside of this cause and effect, you will give nothing. If you can give, you will stay in this world.”

“There shouldn’t be immortals in this world.” Li Qiye said with emotion.

The old man couldn’t help but sneer and said, “Whether there should be immortals in the world is a matter for the world, and whether you stay in the world is your business. So, it’s not that there shouldn’t be immortals in the world, but that you don’t want to stay in the world.”

“Now that you put it like that, it seems like I’m really a bastard.” Li Qiye couldn’t help but smile and said with emotion.

The old man said disdainfully, “When have you not been a bastard? You were a bastard before, but at least you were a bastard who lived every day with sincerity. Now you are a bastard, but that’s just because you are a bastard who lived the cause and effect with sincerity.”

“For the world, this makes no difference. Whether they are living or going through cause and effect, they have received true love.” Li Qiye was silent for a while, and finally sighed softly.

The old man looked at Li Qiye and said coldly: “What about you? In the past, you were sincere and honest for yourself. Now, your sincerity is just to settle the cause and effect. You are cruel, cruel to yourself!”

“It’s cruel to myself.” Li Qiye smiled, nodded gently, and said in acknowledgement: “It is indeed cruel to myself. In this cause and effect, I will give what I should give. I am very generous.”

“In fact, you don’t even need to worry about cause and effect. What kind of existence are you now? Can cause and effect trap you? Just break it.” The old man said coldly: “In this cause and effect, whether you love or hate, it’s just the right amount. For you, it’s just a deal, a deal between yourself and yourself, and other people are just your tools. But, you can break these deals and give everything back to yourself.”

“I have thought about this question as well.” Li Qiye nodded gently and said slowly: “Sometimes, I also ask myself, in fact, I can indeed not do it, or do more. Give a person more love, or not give love, or do whatever I want, everything is not measured by cause and effect, I can do whatever I want.”

“So, why do you do this?” the old man said slowly.

“It was possible before, but not now.” Li Qiye shook his head gently and said softly.

“Not now? Has it really come to this?” The old man stared at Li Qiye for a long time, and finally said slowly.

“Yes, now that I have reached this point, I have grown up.” Li Qiye said softly: “If this world can accommodate a child, it cannot accommodate an adult.”

“What is this Heavenly Immortal? What is this Heavenly Immortal with the ultimate power?” The old man stared at Li Qiye and said.

“A celestial being with the ultimate power?” Li Qiye could not help but gently rub his nose and muttered, “It can only be considered a baby at best.”

“You damn bear, who are you looking down on?” The old man couldn’t help but jump up, glared at Li Qiye and said.

“There shouldn’t be immortals in this world.” Li Qiye ignored the old man’s anger and said with a smile, “Those who claim to be immortals are just fake immortals, or even not even fake immortals.”

The old man sat down, then lay down, like an eggplant wilted by frost, and finally said, “You deserve it.”

“I can only say that it’s what I deserve. This is the road I chose to walk, and the path I insisted on. Only at the end did I truly understand that it’s time for me to leave, and this world no longer needs me to protect it.” Li Qiye said with emotion.

“Isn’t this what you have always said? The world doesn’t need a savior.” The old man said with a cold smile.

Li Qiye nodded gently and said, “Yes, this world does not need a savior. When the karma is over, it will be over.”

“When your cause and effect are clear, you will leave.” The old man said slowly.

“What else? This world cannot accommodate my karma.” Li Qiye smiled faintly.

“This…” The old man fell silent. After a long while, he said, “What if you put in cause and effect?”

“Let me put it this way. If I put in a little more effort and energy to plant a cause and effect, I can sweep away everything. This is one cause and effect, but what about more causes and effects?” Li Qiye pointed upwards and said, “Even if I stand on it and don’t exist in the world, one cause and effect after another will make this world turbulent forever and never calm down.”
