Chapter 2928: The World Exists With Me
The piercing gaze could kill the gods without difficulty . Bai Jinning became frozen even though it wasn’t pointed at her . She felt completely insignificant and trivial as a result .
“Alright, just remember that once you take the next step, they will try to annihilate you for peace of mind . ” The old man contemplated before telling Li Qiye .
“As if we can escape by not moving forward . No one is that lucky . Three Immortals is blessed not like other places but how much longer do you think this will last? Perhaps it is targeted now . ” Li Qiye smiled .
“You’re right . It was our fault anyway for inviting this greed . ” The old man nodded .
“It’s really only a matter of time . The starving existences have an incredible sense of smell so they’ll find this place one day or another . It is enough to fill their belly . ” Li Qiye said .
“True, that’s why no one can escape, neither you nor me . ” The old man accepted the grim reality .
“The only way is to fight until death, otherwise, this state will always be the same . Escaping won’t solve anything . ” Li Qiye said seriously .
“What happens when one obtains victory? They’ll just replace it, this is an endless cycle . ” The old man smiled .
“I’ve told people this old story before . A warrior slaying a dragon only to find that the dragon used to be a great warrior . However, my dao heart is unbreakable . I am a dragonslayer, not someone who will turn into a dragon!” Li Qiye said .
The old man’s eyes became profound, vast enough to encompass Three Immortals . Everything was as tiny as a speck of dust in his eyes . This seemed to be an attempt at reading Li Qiye’s future .
“I should have faith in you . Perhaps one day you will be able to do it . ” He eventually said .
“No, don’t believe in me . ” Li Qiye shook his head: “You should believe in yourself . Are you a dragonslayer or a dragon? Or another existence, such as the villager or a saint?”
“Nothing good comes from being a saint . ” The old man said .
“Who actually has a good ending on this path? No one . Even the villagers have to offer sacrifices . ” Li Qiye smiled .
“Maybe just being a mortal is best . The insects of summer do not worry about the coldness of winter . ” The old man became slightly emotional .
“Can you handle being an insect? If not, then at least try . Who cares what the world thinks?” Li Qiye said .
“Mmm…” The old man chuckled: “Well, in terms of history, you and I are just specks of dust . We’ll disappear in the rain . ”
“No, the world shall exist with me . ” Li Qiye revealed a transcending smile .
“We’re inferior to you in this regard . ” The old man shook his head .
“Because you are saints . There are things you couldn’t let go of and they hold you back . ” Li Qiye said .
“Perhaps, no need to think about these matters that are still so far away . Just fixing the wall is good enough, and maybe having peace during our old age . That’s perfect . ” The old man replied .
“That’s easier said than done . If you can actually uphold this mentality and let go, then it’s possible . I don’t think you can do it though . ” Li Qiye smiled .
“There will be people after us that will take over our burden . ” The old man had an insightful gaze into the future .
“I hope you will have great successors . Unfortunately, I probably won’t see that day, it’s too far away . ” Li Qiye smiled .
“Sounds pessimistic . ” The old man shook his head .
“Is it? Your group hasn’t been able to let go after so many years . One day, maybe some will reach your height but what will they become? Dragonslayers, dragons, or saints?” Li Qiye chuckled .
His eyes became serious as he stared straight at the old man and warned: “Cultivation isn’t important at our level, dao heart is where the emphasis should be . Worry about who they will become instead . ”
“Let’s drop this issue . ” The old man smiled and shook his head .
“Fine with me, it’s not my Three Immortals World . No need for me to worry about it . ” Li Qiye responded .
“Let’s move soon, we need the goods right awa- . . . ” The old man said .
“Don’t be so hasty . You’ve waited so long already, what’s a bit more waiting?” Li Qiye interrupted him .
“Alright, we’ll wait for you in the ocean . You’ll know how to find us then . ” The old man smiled and became increasingly ethereal before disappearing altogether .
“Where, where did he go?” Jinning was shocked to see the old man seemingly melding and becoming one with space .
“He left . ” Li Qiye got up and stretched, ready to leave .
“Why are you following me?” He didn’t get far before stopping to smile at her .
“Who, who says I’m following you?” She dodged his gaze before responding: “We just happen to be walking in the same direction . Sky Pass doesn’t belong to you either so I have the right to walk on these streets . ”
For some strange reasons, her voice was filled with timidity . She was a little afraid of him right now after seeing his gaze prior .
He was still the same as always - just another regular man . But now, she felt as if she was being stared at by a primordial beast . There was a sense of looming danger .
“Makes sense . ” Li Qiye chuckled and didn’t mind being followed .
She mustered courage out of nowhere, perhaps fueled by curiosity about Li Qiye .
“Who was that earlier?” She said softly .
“The strongest existence of your world . ” Li Qiye glanced back at the girl and said .
“Nonsense . ” She scoffed . Albeit, the volume this time was far quieter than her previous display of contempt and disbelief .
“I always speak the truth . ” Li Qiye smiled .
“Everyone knows that in the present days, Luminous Master is the strongest . That person wasn’t him . ” She tilted her head in contemplation .
“Luminous Master is only an ant or a speck of dust . ” Li Qiye commented .
“Shhh!” She was scared out of her mind after hearing this and gestured with her finger on her lips: “You’ll lose your head if anyone else hears this comment . ”
“Is it that serious?” Li Qiye chuckled .
“I’m not messing around . Luminous Master is admired by everyone . Your insult earlier would make you the number one public enemy . ” Bai Jinning leaned in closer and whispered .
This was indeed the truth . Luminous Master had plenty of followers and admirers in Immortal Lineage . They wouldn’t forgive Li Qiye for insulting him .
“Bunch of idiots . ” Li Qiye shook his head .
“Are you tired of living? Plus, Luminous Master and you probably don’t have any feud, why do you need to insult him?”
“Once again, I’m just staying the truth . Must I praise him as the strongest like the rest?” Li Qiye said .
“He is the strongest . ” Jinning said .
