Chapter 1880: The Mythical World Destruction
The princessâ heart grew heavy after hearing this. She finally understood the phrase - ignorance is bliss. She has never thought about this issue in the past but after finding out, she felt a never-dissipating darkness engulfing this world.
âYoung Noble, did you come into being because of this matter?â Her eyes flashed brightly with a revelation: âYou want to stop the inevitable world destruction?â
Li Qiye laughed in response and flicked her jade-like nose: âThatâs quite funny.â
âAm I wrong?â She was quite confident in her speculation. After all, a supreme existence like him wouldnât travel the mundane world without a good reason.
âGirl, Iâm afraid you will be disappointed.â Li Qiye gently shook his head: âIâm not that benevolent of a person. My travel isnât to break the situation as a savior.â
âThen why did you come into being?â The princess mustered enough courage to ask an inappropriate question, given her status as a junior.
While gazing into her supreme beauty and a pair of eyes full of hope for the future, he answered softly: âThereâs no savior in this world, at least Iâm not one. A passenger is who I am.â
The princess didnât quite understand the statement and continued to stare at him.
âIâm not here to break the inevitable situation. I only want to fight at the end of the world.â He gently sighed while meeting her gaze.
âThe ultimate expedition!â She trembled. This topic was too heavy; no one has ever returned from one.
It started with the innovative Origin Heaven Emperor to the brilliant Deep South Divine Emperor then came Immortal Emperor Fei; next was the astonishing Immortal Emperor Gu Chun and the determined Immortal Emperor Min Ren; last was Immortal Emperor Qi Zhen. None had returned from these expeditions; no news of triumph.
Thus, she remained dazed after finding out that Li Qiye came into being for the legendary ultimate expedition.
It took a while before she could speak again: âWhat about the end of the world? Why is is that all the emperors want to embark on the expedition instead of caring about the world?â
âItâs complicated, not something for you to know.â Li Qiye elaborated: âWorld destruction can be construed differently, depending on the perspective. It might not happen either. I call it world destruction from my personal perspective.â
The princess heaved a sigh of relief but the next statement depressed her once more.
âAlas, it is the truth.â Li Qiye stroke her hair and said: âIf you to look forward to something, then start hoping that this type of world destruction wonât happen in your lifetime. Thatâs also a type of happiness. Who gives a damn about the calamity after theyâre already dead?â
âBut if it is the truth, then why donât the emperors do something about it?â She asked.
âItâs because you arenât privy to certain information, such as what the emperors have done and the secrets in the past. You might have the chance to find out after possessing ten Heavenâs Wills.â Li Qiye revealed.
âIs the ultimate expedition even more important than breaking the looming threat?â She didnât understand.
She had heard of legends about the expedition but its purpose remained unknown.
âThe world destruction is only a branch on the expedition path.â He looked at her and said: âIf you can win, then the myriad ages are mere ants. The so-called world destruction canât reach the apex. Just win the expedition and no need to worry about anything!â
This answered exceeded her imagination. Something even greater and more stress-inducing than world destruction?
Just what the hell was the ultimate expedition then? She found the mystery running even deeper.
âYour goal is still to save the world then.â The princess said: âWinning the expedition is one way to break the situation, to save the myriad beings.â
âOnce again, you think too highly of me.â Li Qiye denied: âI only want an answer by fighting at the end of the world. Saving everyone else isnât my responsibility.â
The princess became quiet because she had learned many incredible things tonight. She eventually asked again out of curiosity: âWho has the lingering Paragon Artifacts?â
Li Qiye answered: âItâs better for you not to know about this particular matter. After you become an Immortal Monarch with ten wills and up, you can worry about this then. Anything less with only be cannon fodders.â
She took a deep breath after hearing this shocking statement. In the mind of others, an emperor was the lord of a generation. Even if there was a disparity between emperors, these beings were far above regular people. Other experts were simply insects in comparison. Thus, Li Qiyeâs statement was so unbelievable but she still believed him.
âAlright, no need to think so much about this. Keep on cultivating and become stronger. You can worry about these matters then.â He said.
The princess found this reasonable. There were so many emperors left in this world, especially the top ones. Even if the sky were to fall down, they would uphold it first. The juniors didnât need to worry about it.
She smiled and returned with him to Eternal. Back on the ship, she became worried about Wu Fengyingâs wounds and said: âYoung Noble, Iâll go check on Citadel Lord Wu and see if sheâs better.â
Li Qiye didnât care too much and sai: âGo, tell that brat to be a good girl and stop provoking me. Even if she has no ill-intent, Iâll still kill her.â
âIâll definitely persuade her.â The princess smiled wryly. It wasnât easy to convince someone as stubborn and competitive like Fengying but maybe she had learned her lesson this time around.
The crowd changed their expression after seeing Li Qiye. Some were even afraid of him enough to stay away. His story had spread throughout the ship. It was suicidal to mess with this devilish young man.
âBrother Li, congratulation, congratulation.â Before he went back to his place, someone cupped his fist towards him: âYour newly found treasure is truly worth celebrating.â
This was no other than Tamedragon Child, the guy who could put up a good talk yet flees before a battle.
Li Qiye gave him a quick glance before losing interest. However, Tamedragon didnât mind his attitude and shamelessly followed him with a bright smile while pouring on the compliments: âBrother Li, you are untouchable with such an amazing method, your amazing style has won me over as a fan full of admirationâ¦â
Li Qiye stopped and gave him a cold stare: âState your business.â
Tamedragon rubbed his palms and said: âEveryone is envious of your peerless treasure, such a joyous occasionâ¦â
âYou think I wonât throw you off the ship?â Li Qiye said coldly.
âNoâ¦â Tamedragon quickly waved his hands anxiously: âBrother Li, please donât misunderstand. This Little Brother only wants to do business with you.â
The guy smiled and continued: âIâm somewhat of a businessman, a trader of sorts of high-level goods. I donât mingle in ordinary items so I have a few customers who are all grand characters.â
