Chapter 6320: Tribulations In The Womb
âWhy not?â The monarch asked.
âA few sins cannot be forgiven or redeemed, depending on the severity.â Li Qiye said.
âI see.â The monarch said before realizing something: âWait, can a fallen dao heart be redeemed?â
âWhy canât it?â Li Qiye said.
âI didnât think it was possible. The firmness of the dao heart should be permanent and unchanging, as grand as a rainbow leading to the horizon.â The monarch said.
âHave you reached such a stage? Did you ever hesitate or waver before? Is anyone born with an unchanging dao heart? No, so wavering and hesitation are fine.â Li Qiye said.
âRight, no one is born with a perfect dao heart.â The monarch smiled wryly.
âYou would be wrong.â Li Qiye smirked.
âReally? Born with a perfect dao heart? How inconceivable.â The monarch remained skeptical.
âWhen the impossible becomes possible, it is no longer strange. This happened all the time.â Li Qiye said.
âHow?â The monarch murmured.
âExperiencing all tribulations in the womb, thatâs how.â Li Qiye said.
âYou must be joking.â The monarch blurted.
Li Qiye shrugged and said: âAnything is possible, you just havenât seen it yet.â
âTribulations in the womb?â The monarch said.
âRight, the ethereal stage might not be worth it. A supreme overlord can still live long enough.â Li Qiye said.
âI find myself lacking now.â The monarch smiled wryly.
âThis is nothing to be ashamed about, just different choices.â Li Qiye said: âBack to the previous point, there are some who are born into wealth.â
âLucky.â The monarch said.
âAnd luck is an integral part of oneâs ability.â Li Qiye said: âLuck alone means nothing, one still has to maintain that wealth. Spending it all or staying frugal, another matter of the dao heart.â
âMight as well spend it, enjoy the luck instead of being a stingy dragon hoarding the treasury.â The monarch said.
âYes, and this happens to people after becoming an emperor or an overlord. They think they have toiled their whole life, why prolong the suffering with an impossible goal?â Li Qiye said.
âTrue, maybe being an overlord is already wonderful enough?â The monarch agreed.
âTime takes its toll on people. Supreme overlords had a firm dao heart once, they faltered because they no longer want to endure.â Li Qiye said.
âYes, it is easier to swallow the world than to train and suffer the villainous heavenâs torture.â The monarch said.
âAs you stand here and now, ask yourself, can you endure?â Li Qiye asked.
âI donât know about becoming an immortal, but I can endure as I am right now. Otherwise, I would be degrading myself.â The monarch said.
âMaking the right choice is certainly difficult.â Li Qiye smiled.
âSigh, looks like thereâs no hope for me.â The monarch knew his limit and said: âI lack determination, unlike Desolate Ancestor or Zhan Sansheng. Thatâs why Zhan Sansheng chewed the hard bones, how many could have done what he did?â
âIt was impressive.â Li Qiye smiled: âNo hesitation when doing the impossible, no fear when it might have ended in death, opposing me when it is utterly hopeless. He had the right qualities to become one.â
