Chapter 1717: Little Autumns Idea
âItâs not a bad idea.â Li Qiye approved after hearing the wormâs decision. He continued: âThe nine worlds are still very interesting and beautiful. As long as you are sincere about staying, it will give you a new perspective in life.â
âYes, the nine worlds are still quite vast. If I get bored one day, thereâs nothing holding me back. I can go wherever I want.â Its mood became before after a choice was made. It said: âMaybe Iâll follow behind an Immortal Emperor one day to the nine worlds. Others canât do it but I might be able to.â
âItâs possible.â Li Qiye laughed: âTechnically, only emperors can make it up there but since you have control over space, you can sneak right behind one.â
âHeh, I still have more time. Wait until I get to the tenth world, Iâll evolve into a true dragon and just do whatever I want then. Iâm a dragon among men and as the adage goes, gold will shine regardless of the location.â It started boasting.
It had a different bloodline than everyone else with a chance of evolving into a true dragon. This was the reason why it was golden at the moment on top of possessing unique characteristics of the dragon race.
âYou still have a chance in the nine worlds but it will be much harder compared to the tenth.â Li Qiye said.
The possibility of evolution was much lower in the nine worlds, given the wormâs current state.
âThatâs fine, no need to force it.â The worm laughed: âPlus, if I were to accidentally become a true dragon, how can the future Immortal Emperor live through the days? They would have to take the long way around me. Thus, I donât want to be one so early. No need to bully an emperor later on, Iâm too nice for that. Iâll leave some room for the juniors to grow.â It continued to brag.
Li Qiye shook his head after hearing this. But in his opinion, it was a good thing that the worm took this so well.
Little Autumn suddenly elbowed Li Qiye and laughed: âHehehe, Young Noble, you shouldnât shame our nine worlds too. I know that you arenât into lust and women arenât important. But, you canât just think for yourself, you need to keep the entire nine worlds and the human race in mind. Therefore, spread your seeds in the tenth world, let your amazing bloodline pass on up there. For this noble goal, after you get up there, start sleeping with all the arrogant goddesses from the Divine and Heaven Races. Let them submit beneath you.â Quite a wretched smile appeared on the wormâs face.
Few people would dare to joke around with Li Qiye like this but Little Autumn had followed him for some time now.
Li Qiye knocked on the wormâs head and said: âStop having such perverted thoughts. What kind of crappy nonsense is this?â
But Little Autumn disagreed. It glared and said: âHow is it a bad idea? Itâs the truth. Have you forgotten that you told me some stories? Some Immortal Emperors have done these deeds before in the tenth world. I clearly remember you saying that an emperor seduced someone elseâs wife. Another would steal the daughters from the Divine and Heaven Races and take them as their wives. Heh, even emperors had such immoral behaviors, itâs fine if you do it too.â
Anyone else would be astounded after hearing this. In the nine worlds, morality was a difficult topic. Thus, people had a hard time determining whether an emperor was good or bad.
There are conflicting opinions about each emperor. But regardless of this, emperors were frank and direct with their conducts. They would never sneak around since they were strong enough to suppress everything. Plus, at their level, they had no need to worry about how the world viewed them.
Because of this, seducing wives and stealing daughters werenât something emperors would do. Any listener would automatically assume that the statements were slanderous.
An emperor could annihilate a clan or an entire race but never say that they would steal someoneâs wife. Itâs impossible because they just needed to say the words and countless women would come running for them.
âThatâs all in the past. Stuff like that was only done by emperors during the Desolate Era.â He smiled and shook his head.
âBut it had happened before.â Little Autumn laughed: âThe emperors and gods up there are so damn cocky, right? Thatâs why our own emperors stole their women in order to take them down a notch. Hehe, with your charm, Iâm sure so many girls will want to warm your bed after you go up there. Just think about it, their fathers are your enemies so if you just marry their daughters, thatâs enough to drive them crazy without doing anything else.â
âHow devious.â Li Qiye gifted him another slap and scolded: âEven if we are enemies, do I need to resort to such wretched behavior? My power alone will be enough to sweep through them eventually.â
Little Autumn quickly retorted: âYoung Noble, you canât put it like that. Even if you donât like those goddesses and fairies, you need to think of the nine worlds and the human race. Spread your excellent bloodline everywhere so that humans can become stronger and prosper up there.â
Li Qiye shook his head: âItâs a different time now. Even though the human race up there is not a match for the heavenâs favorites, it isnât as weak as before. The race is populous so no need to propagate the bloodline like before. This is the fruit of the human emperors and wise sagesâ effort after many generations.â
âThe emperors that go up there right now do not need to worry about this bloodline problem.â Li Qiye said with a tinge of emotion: âThey have bigger objectives in mind. Plus, humans donât need their protection anymore.â
âBut, Young Noble, it canât be wrong for you to have some children.â Little Autumn continued: âGiven the nature of your bloodline, your children will definitely change the tenth world. Fine, donât do it for the human race or the nine worlds, do it for you.â
Little Autumn was quite earnest at this moment. It truly wanted for Li Qiye to have some offsprings.
At this moment, only Bu Lianxiang was capable of having his children in the nine worlds. The other girls were following him to the tenth world and Li Qiye had no plan of having them bear his children either.
Little Autumn knew that Li Qiye was very picky about women, especially regarding his bloodline.
Even though the nine worlds might not have his kid, Little Autumn still wanted him to leave some legacies behind in the tenth world. This was the reason why it brought up this topic.
Li Qiye fell into a hush. He was aware that his followers all hoped that he would do so. Worldkeeper, Matriarch Yu, and Little Autumn all shared this sentiment.
In the end, he spoke softly: âThe world is full of suffering. I will leave one day on a path of no return, never turning back or stopping for anyone. I can become the absolute god in the nine worlds or an unstoppable force in the tenth, but I wonât be a good father, not a responsible one. My gaze halts for no one and my heart softens for none.â
Little Autumn eventually said: âYoung noble, if a woman is willing to have a child for you, she is even tougher than your imagination. She can understand you and doesnât need you to stay behind. Princess Bu is such an amazing woman. She is willing to pay the price for you so you donât need to worry.â
Li Qiye quietly stood there and eventually sighed without answering.
The worm hugged him and said: âGoodbye, Young Noble. You are forever invincible and eternal in my heart. Even when the seas run dry and the stones go soft, your spirit will last on.â
âGoodbye.â Li Qiye replied.
Little Autumn left without looking back. It didnât wish to do so at all.
