Emperor’s Domination - Chapter 3190

Chapter 3190: Chapter 3190: Why Chase The Dao?

A remaining lifetime of dreamless boredom for Emperor Zheng . Perhaps others wouldn’t be able to understand him for they lacked the same talents, the same fortune bestowed upon birth .

“It’s all in the past . To not have any pursuit is the best pursuit . ” Li Qiye nodded and said .

Li Qiye didn’t think he was being extreme . The peak was cold and lonely, not something ordinary men knew about .

“Life and death stop mattering as well . ” The emperor said with a profound gaze towards the stars .

The emperor no longer cared about his survival since he had done everything previously, from fighting on numerous battlefields to teetering between life and death . The latter made him unafraid of death - this might be the reason why he didn’t seek everlasting life .

“Well, some people rather live in a pathetic manner than dying . That’s the nature of men . ” Li Qiye commented .

“How meaningless . ” Emperor Zheng smiled and shook his head: “Dying is a salvation of sorts, no more living on in boredom . ”

Others would find this irrational . Why would a top cultivator want to die? He still had so much potential left, so many pleasures to experience .

Alas, Emperor Zheng had lived too long and began to lose patience .

There was someone familiar to him back in the Nine Worlds, Immortal Emperor Mu Zhuo, cursed to live for an eternity, wanted by neither heaven nor hell .

However, one side experienced too much joy and happiness already while the other was the opposite . The former found these beautiful things to be boring now, as bland as water .

“Of course, I won’t commit suicide . ” The emperor eventually added with a nonchalant smile .

How strange . A brilliant progenitor actually had thoughts of suicide . This would astonish any listener .

Of course, he wouldn’t choose such a dishonorable way to go . His ending should be something amazing, a death to remember .

“Maybe go back and have a look at Three Immortals . ” Li Qiye suggested .

“I had this thought too a very long time ago when I was bored here . However, that place is no longer the same, the land is there, not the people . As boring as everything else to visit it again . ” Emperor Zheng spoke without any emotional fluctuation .

However, others would pity him upon hearing this . His world was no longer the same, neither was Nine Secrets .

His lover, his family, his loyal followers - all have returned to the ground . Nine Secrets would be completely unfamiliar .

If he were to return and experience the joy and pleasures of life again, that would only be repeating past experiences - akin to eating only rice day after day .

This sense of unfamiliarity might be why Eight Treasures and Cicada Progenitor found it so easy to destroy their own system . They didn’t feel sad in the slightest .

“This is the price of everlasting life . ” Li Qiye smiled . His tone sounded quite sad since he had quite a melancholic past as well .

“Right, at least I’m not actually an immortal or I would go crazy . ” The emperor nodded in response . He seemed to find sweet salvation in death, unlike other top cultivators .

“Well, if you have no other pursuits or desires, then just a short life of brilliance is fine . Having no regrets is the toughest thing to obtain . ” Li Qiye said .

“What are your pursuits?” The emperor asked .

“An answer and a fight to the end, that’s all . ” Li Qiye nodded .

“I see, such lofty aspiration . ” The emperor felt great respect towards Li Qiye: “I’m not a defender of justice but I truly respect Bao Pu and the others . They should be loved and respected by all, the same as you, Sir . Cultivators should aim to be like you but I’m afraid to say that I have no desire of being virtuous . ”

“Everyone has their own will, no need to force others to do so . ” Li Qiye shook his head: “The light and darkness are always present . There is no light without the darkness and vice versa . Now, not having a pursuit is the best pursuit . No pursuit, no desire, no darkness, then there’s no light . Their pursuit is why there is darkness . ”He finished by pointing at the sky .

“Your words are made of gold, Sir . ” The emperor appreciated his perspective .

Li Qiye smiled and immersed himself into staring at the sky . There seemed to be something up there staring at everything below .

“Immortality . ” The emperor sighed and said: “No one can really resist its temptation . ”

He then turned towards Li Qiye as if insinuating something .

“Don’t worry, I won’t change even if I obtain immortality . It won’t be my choice . ” Li Qiye shook his head .

“I don’t doubt you, Sir . ” The emperor said .

“It’s fine, you have seen it . Immortality isn’t granted by the heavenly dao . The heaven will not tolerate it, so in order to obtain immortality, there must be a trade . Oneself, someone else, or even an entire world! That’s a choice one will have to make . ” Li Qiye said .

The emperor agreed . He has been here for so long and saw things beyond imagination . Thus, he had a different perspective and thoughts on immortality than most .

“Everyone says that a true immortal can live forever . What do they look like if they actually exist?” The emperor said .

“Have you seen that dark being?” Li Qiye asked .

“Nowhere to be found but it was behind the war between progenitors . He also converted many to his side . ” The emperor said .

“He’s certainly not a true immortal, just a pseudo or fake one . But nonetheless, using immortal to describe him is fine, thus, just extrapolate from that to get your answer . ” Li Qiye said .

The emperor pondered for a bit regarding the dark existence . After a while, he brought up something else: “What about the three immortals?”

At his level, he was able to make contact with these legends and had respect for them .

“In order to become an immortal, one must either be crazy or a saint . ” Li Qiye said: “However, this world is their heart system . ”

The emperor murmured to himself before choosing to be quiet . The latter part encompassed too many things . No need to go deeper or it would become disrespectful .

“The expanse is actually quite fun . ” The emperor brought up something else: “I haven’t seen the other shore but even if it does exist, it won’t be my turn to ascend . I can’t reach it before being freed from myself . ”
