Chapter 976: Deal (2/2)
“I still don’t quite understand a few things. Please enlighten me.” The G.o.dfiend spoke after careful contemplation.
Li Qiye smiled and said: “Very well, ask.”
The G.o.dfiend inquired: “Your Excellency is a character that has been around for eras and ruled this world. Others might be unaware, but I know full well that it would be difficult to find an existence capable of threatening you in the nine worlds. With your abilities, why do you need some old bones like me to fight for you?”
Li Qiye said: “You are right about that. I’m not afraid of anyone in the nine worlds or even what is outside of them!”
“However.” He paused for a bit: “I still need people to fight for me in addition to guarding certain territories! I don’t need you to fight in the nine worlds, but in that place, I need a lot of people to explore and create bases for me!”
“Your Excellency is talking about that place…” The G.o.dfiend was intrigued since he knew of this legend as well. A legend that weaklings wouldn’t know.
Li Qiye said: “You have taught Immortal Emperor Chen Xue before, so after he obtained the Heaven’s Will, he should have told you some things that only emperors know about.”
“Your Excellency is talking about the place where the Heaven’s Will returns to?” The G.o.dfiend spoke with emotions.
“Yes, that place! The place that only Immortal Emperors know about.” Li Qiye responded.
The G.o.dfiend mused for a second before adding: “Your Excellency, as far as I know, only one person in each generation can go to that place. And they have to be an Immortal Emperor!”
“That was the past.” Li Qiye revealed a mysterious smile: “This generation is different, everything has changed. Moreover, you should know that there is nothing I can’t do. If I say it is possible, then it can be done!”
“Can I really go to that place?” The G.o.dfiend hesitated for a moment. His dao heart that had been calm for so many years suddenly grew hot with antic.i.p.ation and excitement.
“Yes, I don’t need to trick you and ruin my own reputation, right?” Li Qiye said.
The G.o.dfiend took a deep breath and finally solemnly spoke: “As long as Your Excellency needs me, I am willing to take the vanguard and be of service. I am willing to go to the very end for glory!”
“Very wise.” Li Qiye said: “This is killing two birds with one stone for you. Not only is it beneficial for your Blood Race, you will also be able to see a different world, a world of deities and emperors!”
“May I ask when Your Excellency will prove our origin?” The G.o.dfiend asked with a solemn tone: “Where is this progenitor Your Excellency is referring to?”
“I can’t tell you right now.” Li Qiye gently shook his head: “But if you go to that place, I will give your race a progenitor.”
The G.o.dfiend’s expression changed as he asked: “You mean our progenitor really came from that place?”
“Maybe, maybe not.” Li Qiye smiled: “A few things are not as simple as they appear on the surface. Like I said earlier, solving this type of mystery is not an easy task.”
“I should have guessed that this was the case.” The G.o.dfiend murmured. If this was the case, then their progenitor didn’t come from the nine worlds, but rather that place where others couldn’t go to. That legendary location, the destination of the Heaven’s Will!
Li Qiye continued: “I can a.s.sure you that as long as you come out and fight for me, I won’t only take you to that location, I will also help you find your Blood Progenitor. Of course, I won’t force you. I will only give you and your race an opportunity. I’m not interested or in need of anything else.”
“I am willing!” The G.o.dfiend agreed: “Your words are the truth. With your a.s.surance, there is no need to question anything! When will Your Excellency depart?”
“The time is not yet ripe. I will let you know when the time is right.” Li Qiye said.
