chapter 5494: compassionate and full of love
âthe cycle can actually be severed?â immortal emperor mu zhuo didnât believe that this was possible.
others preferred a continuation of their cycle since they would keep their memories and karma. as for him, this would be useless since the world-weary dao would follow him.
since heaven and earth hated him, his fate was being kicked out of the reincarnation cycle. natural death would not come, and the same for reincarnation into a different being. true death would only be possible with the thorough destruction of his dao.
now, li qiye was talking about something even greater.
âi have an idea.â li qiye said.
âit canât work, not even if youâre an epoch lord. you might be able to sever the cycle but not bring someone back to life.â he shook his head in disbelief.
moreover, who would want to do it for someone else? this was akin to creating life - something only available to the villainous heaven.
âno, it is simply impossible.â he concluded.
âyour dao is at the apex. even if i add you to the cycle for reincarnation, it will still follow you.â li qiye said.
he sighed and knew that this was the truth. his damnation seemed to be permanent.
âno matter what the method is, since heaven loathes me, the price will be incalculable...â he said.
ânot necessarily.â li qiye shrugged.
ânot even you can break this rule.â he shook his head.
rebirth was impossible, not to mention rebirth and severing the karmic cycle. li qiyeâs ability wasnât the issue here. why would li qiye pay the heavy price for him to live again?
âi canât do it, but someone else can.â li qiye said.
âwho?â he blurted out but knew that there was only one possible answer.
li qiye pointed at the sky, causing the emperor to be frozen in astonishment.
the villainous heaven could certainly do this, but why for the sake of an ant?
âi have my methods.â li qiye said.n/-ovelb1n
this left him in silence again. why would li qiye do so much for him when they were nothing more than acquaintances if that?
âwhy me?â he asked.
if li qiye could revive him on top of serving the karmic cycle, he could also do it for someone else. thus, he should be saving this for whoever he cared the most about.
âno one should have endured such suffering in this world so you deserve another chance. the villainous heaven probably wonât let it end like this either.â li qiye said.
he stared at li qiye with skepticism, naturally not buying this nonsense.
âthatâs just who i am, compassionate and full of love for everyone, donât you think?â li qiye added.
âno.â he answered flatly.
âsigh, that hurts. well, if iâm not who i claim to be, would i be here for your corpse?â li qiye lamented.
âsure, collecting my corpse is compassionate and kind-hearted. but as for reviving me, there is certainly an ulterior motive behind this.â he nodded first before disagreeing.
âiâm sad that you think of me this way.â li qiye smiled wryly.
âwhat do you actually want?â he simply didnât understand li qiyeâs motive. he was far from being the strongest immortal emperor, not to mention his repulsive dao. he was nothing in the eyes of someone like li qiye. in fact, he was more of a burden than anything.
âas i stand here enduring your nauseating aura and being infected by it, i have to listen to you doubting me? tell me, what could i possibly want from you?â li qiye appeared sad.
âthatâs the part i donât understand. thereâs nothing in it for you.â he shook his head in response.
this wasnât a matter of self-hate but he truly didnât have anything worth coveting. the cons far outweighed the pros in this situation. li qiye wasnât someone who was known for taking risks either.
âin all seriousness.â li qiye stared at him earnestly and said: âindeed, you have nothing that i need, neither in your current state nor in the past.â
âwhat about the future?â although he was indifferent to everything, this statement actually stirred him because of the implication.
