Emperor’s Domination - Chapter 7217

[Chapter 7139 I raise fish]

“What you said hides a lot of information.” Li Qiye glanced at the Immortal King Chongming and said lightly.

“Because, some things are just my guesses. There is no absolute evidence, and I can’t just talk nonsense. This is not only about the reputation of our divine beast clan, but also the reputation of our Majesty and Queen Phoenix.”

Li Qiye couldn’t help but laugh, shook his head and said, “As an immortal, what kind of shit have you not done? Having lived for billions of years, what kind of shit have you not seen and experienced? Reputation is nothing to an old man who has lived for billions of years without dying.”

“Sir, for an individual immortal, these things are indeed nothing. There is no one in the human world that the immortal cares about, and even their own world has long ceased to exist.” Chongming Immortal King said seriously: “But, our divine beast clan is different. Our descendants are all here, and our world still exists. Our divine beast clan is a family, passed down for billions of years, and has never been separated. We are a family from generation to generation. What the immortals in the human world think is unimportant is very important to us.”

“Is it really that important?” Li Qiye looked at the sky and said calmly, “Your world will soon be gone. Some of these words are just self-consolation. They are just a fig leaf that you use to cover up yourselves.”

“This——” Li Qiye’s words immediately caused Immortal King Chongming’s expression to change drastically.

Li Qiye smiled and said, “In fact, you know very well what is going to happen. Your world is still alive. You, the divine beast clan, have always used this world as nutrients. This world has always been under your care. You have sealed off the sacred heaven, kept billions of creatures in captivity, and raised the servant dragon clan…”

At this point, Li Qiye smiled and said, “You seem to have so many great sentiments, as if you are so sacred and bright. Under the fig leaf, it is just a stench. This world is just the incubation place for your race of divine beasts.”

“Young Master, actually, actually it’s not entirely true, not entirely true.” Immortal King Chongming’s old face turned red, and he looked very embarrassed.

Li Qiye smiled faintly and said, “What’s not true? Isn’t this world your nourishment? Isn’t the Dragon Servant the creature that you have enslaved for countless years?”

“This——” Li Qiye’s words made Chongming Immortal King take a deep breath and slowly said: “I don’t deny some of what you said, sir. But, sir, you should also know that everything is a double-edged sword. Our divine beast clan did do some things, but in this world, our divine beast clan also led all living beings to prosperity. It is also because of our divine beast clan that this world has avoided collapse, and all living beings have lived and worked in peace for billions of years. It is not like other immortal worlds, which will usher in a destruction in a short period of thousands or tens of thousands of years, or a long period of millions of years, and hundreds of millions of living beings will be wiped out…”

At this point, Chongming Immortal King said to Li Qiye very solemnly: “I can tell you with great pride that it is precisely because of the existence of our divine beast clan that the billions of creatures in the Holy Heaven have enjoyed countless prosperity and peace for billions of years.”

Li Qiye looked at the Immortal King Chongming, nodded seriously, and said seriously: “I admit this. For all living beings, they have indeed enjoyed such a long period of prosperity. This is indeed brought by the Divine Beast Clan. It is also the Divine Beast Clan that protects this world.”

“Thank you for your approval, sir.” Immortal King Chongming also bowed deeply and said, “In your eyes, at least, our divine beast clan is not useless to this world.

Li Qiye couldn’t help but laugh, shook his head, and said: “Don’t be in a hurry to thank me. Even if some facts are like this, the essence has never changed.”

“What the young master means–” Immortal King Chongming was stunned.

Li Qiye said leisurely, “I have a big fish pond. I raise fish in it, but I never catch any fish to eat. I also feed the fish from time to time. I built a high dam on the side of the fish pond to prevent any bad creatures from outside from catching the fish. The fish in the pond are getting more and more, and each fish is getting fatter and fatter. The whole fish pond is getting better and better, and it has reached a prosperous stage. Every time you take a look, you can see big fat fish.”

At this point, Li Qiye paused, patted Chongming Immortal King on the shoulder, and said, “Then tell me, am I really a fish lover? Am I really thinking about these plump fish one after another?”

“This——” Li Qiye’s words immediately made the Immortal King Chongming’s face change drastically, and then he fell silent.

Li Qiye smiled and said, “Don’t glorify yourself, and don’t glorify your Divine Beast Clan. That’s right, all living beings in this world have indeed prospered under the protection of your Divine Beast Clan, generation after generation, and people who live in such a prosperous era are very lucky. They can live a rich and happy life.”

At this point, Li Qiye glanced at Chongming Immortal King and said slowly: “But this does not mean that your Divine Beast Clan truly seeks the well-being of all living beings in this world, nor does it mean that all living beings in this world need your Divine Beast Clan. In fact, on the contrary, it is your Divine Beast Clan that needs this world and all living beings.”

“It’s just like me raising fish. I raise a pond of fish and make every fish so plump and beautiful. And the number of fish keeps increasing.” Li Qiye said with a smile, “From the beginning to the end, I never caught a single fish to eat. Is it really because I love fish? Is it really because I want the well-being of these fish? Is it because I hope every fish can live a happy and prosperous life?”

Li Qiye shook his head and said with a smile: “Where are there so many noble sentiments? Where is there any fish farmer who would seek a living for the fish? There is no such thing at all. The ultimate goal of fish farmers is to eat these plump fish.”

“Just like a shepherd.” Li Qiye patted Chongming Immortal King on the shoulder and said, “In the end, the one who eats all the sheep in the sheepfold is not the wolves outside, but the shepherd who has been taking care of the sheep and providing them with good food and shelter.”

At this point, Li Qiye paused, pointed to the sky, and slowly said: “Before, there was no chance to eat sheep, and there was no chance to go to the fish pond to catch fish. But when the opportunity comes, the sheep must be eaten and the fish must be caught. Neither can be missed.”

Li Qiye’s words made Immortal King Chongming silent for a long time. He knew that nothing could be hidden from Li Qiye.

“So, there is no need to pretend to be a good old man, nor do you need to pretend to be a benevolent and wise ruler.” Li Qiye patted Chongming Immortal King on the shoulder and said with a smile: “In fact, from the beginning to the end, you all knew what was going to happen, you just pretended to be kind and open-minded.”

At this point, Li Qiye looked at the Chongming Immortal King and said slowly, “Don’t you know where the Tianzai Shilong Clan will take your Chongming birds? I’m afraid you know it very well.”

After being silent for a long time, Immortal King Chongming finally sighed softly, nodded gently, and said, “I know.”

“So, the foolish sheep of this world always think that it is the wolves outside who eat them, not the shepherds.” Li Qiye smiled faintly and said, “Just like you Chongming Servant Dragons, you are still desperately trying to protect your master Chongming Bird. But, in fact, they don’t know that from this moment on, what they have to protect is not you Chongming Birds, not you divine beasts, but themselves, all living beings. But they have never known it, and they still think they are doing such a great, sacred, and remarkable cause, and they still look noble as if they have a responsibility.”

“Young master, this speaks so badly of our divine beast clan.” Immortal King Chongming couldn’t help but let out a dry laugh and said.

Li Qiye glanced at Chongming Immortal King and said calmly, “What’s so unbearable? I’m telling you, I am an immortal who is above you. What you did to the common people, I can do to all of you immortals. I can also raise you like pets and eat you all in one bite. Could it be that if I raise you and then eat you all in one bite, how great can I be? How sacred can I be…”

“… Was everything I did while raising you really because I was kind and open-minded? No, I just wanted the sheep to grow fatter so that the meat would be more delicious in the future, that’s all. How great can it be, how sacred can it be?” Li Qiye smiled and said, “So, tell me, are you really that great? Are you really seeking the welfare of this world? In fact, the truth is just so unbearable. Whatever you want to do, I can do it over and over again in this entire heavenly realm, and no one can do anything to me. But, look at me, have I done it? If I really wanted to do it, today, I would not be standing here chatting with you, but would directly refine your entire sacred heaven. As for the Heavenly Dragon, the Phoenix Queen, these bullshit things are of no use to me. When your entire world is refined by me, your so-called secrets and stories will all disappear and be worthless.”
