Chapter 3189: Chapter 3189: The Most Brilliant True Emperor
The gentle sea breezes induced drowsiness . The moon tonight was especially round on top of the night sky .
It poured down a silver light, resulting in the same silvery reflection on the water surface . Whenever a carp leaped out of the water, the splashing resembled a flower blossoming . Maybe it would turn into a dragon in due time .
A small island had old, tough trees and thick foliage . It looked like a jade pendant carved on a silver plate .
The shoreline was quite long with exquisite sand . Each speech had a golden shimmer .
Picking the sand up and letting it run down one’s fingers would create a beautiful golden stream .
A youth was laying on a bed beneath a palm tree there, enjoying the breeze and the moonlight .
He wore a silvery robe, meticulously crafted by a great master . He was quite handsome and would always stand out like a crane among a flock of chicken .
His hands were beautiful, especially his thin and long fingers . Girls would go crazy from jealousy .
Time froze as he enjoyed his time there . However, he immediately got up and greeted: “A visitor? What a pleasant surprise . ”
Space rippled and Li Qiye came out, landing on the beach . He looked around the area before focusing on the youth . He had leaped through space several times and ended up here by chance .
“Oh, I should call you Senior . ” The youth stopped looking lazy and put on a respectful smile .
“No, I’m only eighteen . ” Li Qiye shook his head .
“Then I’ll call you Sir . Respect should be given to those who have achieved more in the dao . ” The youth knew how to act with propriety .
Li Qiye only smiled, not refusing this address .
The youth summoned a courtyard facing the ocean . He prepared a table and hot tea before inviting Li Qiye over .
Li Qiye sat down without any reservation . The youth poured him a cup and said: “I don’t know anything about tea so please excuse me, Sir . ”
“It’s not too bad . ” Li Qiye took a sip and smiled .
“My name is Zheng Yin, may I have yours?” The youth laughed happily before introducing himself .
“Li Qiye . ” Li Qiye said before looking at the youth: “Emperor Zheng of Nine Secrets, quite famous . ”
“It’s all in the past, so trivial before you, Sir . ” The youth shook his head .
Zheng Yin, a peerless cultivator who revived Nine Secrets, a member of the Ten Radiance . He was famous alongside Everlasting Jiang and Lotus Ancestor .
Born in War Saint Dynasty in a declining system, he rose above everything and revived it . His Lucidity Scripture was well known just the Nine Secrets of this system’s progenitor .
He had entered a redemption ground and fought many great battles there . His feats weren’t inferior to a progenitor so he was worthy of his spot in the Ten Radiance .
A disciple from Nine Secrets would never believe that this youth was their ancestor . It has been several million years .
“A peak progenitor now, worthy of being a member of the Ten Radiance . ” Li Qiye said with a smile .
“Just a false reputation . Nothing brilliant about being gifted from the start thanks to the heaven . Otherwise, someone as lazy as me would never be able to reach the progenitorial realm . ” Emperor Zheng humbly said .
His humility didn’t imply weakness . In reality, he was just as strong as Everlasting Jiang or Lotus Ancestor .
Li Qiye smiled and held his teacup while gazing quietly at the horizon .
“Why are you here, Sir?” The emperor asked .
“Just passing by . Oh, and killing anyone who stands in my way . ” Li Qiye took a sip and responded casually .
“So daring and imposing . No one in this vast ocean should be able to stop you . ” The emperor praised .
The two of them stopped talking and simply enjoyed the night sky .
“Why are you here?” Li Qiye eventually broke the silence .
“I actually don’t know the answer . ” The emperor pondered carefully and eventually put on a wry smile .
“Some progenitors come seeking everlasting life; others want the other shore, more seek strength…” He went on with a soft tone .
“Hmm, I came out of curiosity while hoping to break through . Someone told me to go so I did . Now, so many years have passed and I’ve forgotten most of my original intentions . ”
“Time is the best thing to have while capable of being a source of torment . ” Li Qiye nodded .
“Yes, I’ve forgotten so many things . I only remember myself now . ” The emperor became slightly emotional .
Both fell into silence again, looking like two old friends .
“You’re not my contemporary and have experienced far more, may I ask what do you live for?” The emperor earnestly said .
“You answer first . ” Li Qiye smiled .
The emperor took his time thinking before coming up with a response: “I don’t know . I asked myself this a long time ago, maybe several hundred thousand years, I don’t quite remember . I couldn’t come up with an answer then and I don’t have one now . I just know that I’m living for the sake of living . ”
“Everything else is insignificant . ” Li Qiye understood .
“Yes, some progenitors still move forward after reaching the top . They want to become true immortals . Others searched for everlasting life . Some are righteous and wish to protect Three Immortals . ” He paused for a bit and sighed: “I had enough . I’ve experienced the pleasures of mortal life and dabbled in the myriad dao . This is my limit . Trying more won’t turn me into a true immortal . Thus, I no longer have a goal . I don’t care for everlasting life or the battle between good and evil either . Everyone has their own fate; the epochs will continue to cycle, no need to try so hard to survive . ”
“Seems like the rest of my time is doomed to boredom . ” He then finished with a bitter smile . His words contained plenty of emotions - a testament to his rich past .
As a brilliant emperor, his life was magnificent, to say the least .
He had both authority and prestige, more than enough beauties as well . The things people so desired? He possessed them all .
He also swept through the realms uncontested . People wrote tales about his battles .
As for his talents? He understood the mysteries of this world and wrote the incredible Lucidity Scripture .
Did he have any regret in life? No .
Next came his journey to the expanse . He survived the danger and saw many things, eventually becoming a top progenitor .
What more could he ask for in life? Therefore, his future prospect came to a halt for he no longer had any desire .
That’s why self-reflection became necessary . What was his reason for living? This question haunted the great genius .
