Chapter 623: The Past Is Gone With The Wind (2/2)
Li Qiye didn’t turn around and disappeared into the night.
The woman was stunned for a while. The young man’s words were too outrageous, so outrageous that others would label him as insane! She herself thought that he was too deep in his own delusions.
However, the expression that he showed as he left didn’t resemble an actor or a deranged maniac. This young man was a person with a story.
The woman sat there contemplating the events that had just transpired. During the late night, a young man suddenly appeared and treated this house like his own home, then he continued on to spew out some crazy spiel.
After a long time, she regained her composure and shook her head with a smile to dispel all unnecessary thoughts. Tonight, she came to this house to sort out her worries. This had been her habit whenever she faced trouble and needed some time for quiet contemplation.
***
Li Qiye left the house but didn’t go back to the capital right away. Instead, he took a stroll through the nearby area instead. Sometimes he rode waves or climbed a mountain. Other times, he might be flying over the sky of an ancient city…
Li Qiye’s wound had finally recovered, and he was finally able to be alone after leaving Jadeblood Mountain. He took his time traveling around the Giant Bamboo Country to the same places that he had been to in the past.
Sad sentiments filled his heart when he arrived at the place where he had met Yan’er. He had trained her and let her stay by his side.
The beginning of that era was a time of unhappiness for Li Qiye. At that time, he ordered many wise sages to sweep through the Nine Worlds and commanded his G.o.d-Monarchs to ma.s.sacre many lineages and races. The war raged on until the remnants of the Ancient Ming Race finally lay dormant in this world.
His victory was a foregone conclusion at that point during the war. For millions of years, he had partic.i.p.ated in many arduous battles and the most tragic of wars. Especially during the era of the Ancient Ming, countless people by his side fell one by one, but he still carried on strong.
Therefore, this conquest was not considered large in scale compared to the previous ones in his life. However, too much blood was spilled in this conquest. Li Qiye ordered the ma.s.sacre of lineages, even those that belonged to the human, charming spirit, and golem races.
He suddenly felt tired during the aftermath; this came as a surprise to him after millions of years had pa.s.sed. Even during the most miserable eras, Li Qiye didn’t feel the same level of dejection. The main difference was that during the past eras, wise sages from the human race were his comrades, but during this conquest, he had pointed his butcher’s blade towards human tribes.
Many people didn’t want to ever talk about this conquest, but Li Qiye had no choice except to order for the ma.s.sacre of the Nine Worlds. At that time, nothing could stop his determination since he swore to never give up until he disposed of all the remnants of the Ancient Ming. He didn’t care whether they lay dormant in a tribe or hid in some sects since he stomped even the most powerful tribes and lineages in order to kill these Ancient Ming.
He didn’t want to go back to the era of the Ancient Ming since that era was concluded with countless corpses. Numerous wise sages, both young and old that belonged to all the races, partic.i.p.ated in that war in order to end the Ancient Ming Era and herald the start of the prosperous Emperors Era. Because of this, he didn’t mind killing any existence that dared to protect the remaining Ancient Ming.
After this conquest, Li Qiye grew weary and traveled alone around the Nine Worlds. At that time, his mood was quite sour. Just like he had said, during his happy times, the Nine Worlds would s.h.i.+ne, but when he became angry, myriad races trembled in fear.
Later on, he came to this world and met a girl who was as gentle as water — optimistic and tolerant, meticulous and considerate.
Upon their first meeting, it started with curiosity, then came her thoughtful accommodation… During that time, she had always been taking care of him; his foulest temper was met with forgiveness.
During this period, not too many people dared to stay near him as he raged, but she was always by his side, willing to suffer his wrath!
This girl was allowed to stay near the Dark Crow as he personally trained her! After a long time, Li Qiye finally escaped his unhappiness while the girl continued to follow him.
[spoiler t.i.tle='623 Teaser']Li Qiye glanced at her again and nodded his head, saying: “You can put it that way. Unfortunately, you weren’t born in that era so you couldn't see it with your own eyes.”
She couldn’t help but play along when the young man answered in such a serious manner: “What kind of era was it?”
Li Qiye looked at her and smiled. He was taking a journey back in time. After a while, he slowly spoke: “That era was the calm after an endless war; the peace that was traded for bathing the Nine Worlds in blood. During that era, when I closed my eyes, the world lost its colors; when I opened my eyes, I gave the radiance back to the realms. In that era, the world glowed when I was happy, and myriad races trembled beneath my rage. Even the most unbeatable mythical races and invincible existences that could sweep through the realms retreated before my presence. No matter who they might be, if they chose to oppose me, then either stand out and let me ma.s.sacre them or slumber forever with their tails tucked between their legs!” After this prose, Li Qiye opened his eyes as a cold glare flashed across his pupils.[/spoiler]
