Chapter 1100: Di Wei (2/2)

“Thank you, thank you. It is all thanks to Grandpa Wei’s blessing. This generation will definitely be mine.” Li Qiye chuckled.

In an ancient era, Li Qiye had stayed at the border for a long time. He schemed in this world and eventually became a king. Di Wei gave advice to him several times and told him secrets that the other Imperial Kings weren’t privy to.

“This generation, eh.” Di Wei sat there and gently sighed with an indescribable sadness as well as a sense of relief.

Li Qiye sat down and told him: “It seems like Grandpa Wei has also sensed the changes at the plateau. I don’t need to say anything, I’m sure you already know what will happen in the future.”

Di Wei gazed into the horizon and eventually commented: “A different path. Perhaps this was a chosen ending.”

“Who knows what will happen?” Li Qiye gently shook his head: “Both Di s.h.i.+ and the Buddhist Lord have their own path.”

“You also have one as well.” Di Wei smiled at Li Qiye with an air of sadness.

Li Qiye smiled back: “Yes, I have my own path. Or should I say, my pursuit is the same as Di s.h.i.+’s. The only difference is the path we chose.”

“Why didn’t the Imperial Lord choose a different path?” Di Wei gently sighed: “But then again, who knows what will happen. Maybe all paths lead to a dead end...”

“Grandpa Wei, you are being too pessimistic.” Li Qiye gently shook his head: “There will be an ending no matter what, the only difference is whether it is a good or bad end.”

“Finding out now isn’t necessarily a good thing.” Di Wei smiled wryly: “Eternal life or the final world, there will be no good that comes of this.”

Li Qiye then wondered: “Then what about the Imperial Lord?”

Di Wei pondered for a bit before answering quietly: “I don’t know. After he left for the Expedition Path, there hasn’t been any news. I don’t think he himself knows what awaits us.”

Li Qiye plainly stated: “If he has chosen this path, I’m sure he is confident.”

Di Wei eventually movingly exclaimed: “Eternal life. There really are some things that cause too much trouble. For many people, eternal life is full of temptation, a lifelong pursuit. But ultimately, they only become abominations that are neither humans nor ghosts!”

“If I could choose once more in my next life, maybe I would like to be an ordinary mortal.” The vicissitudes of life were embodied by the helplessness in his voice: “Even though life is short, there will be happiness and sadness through the struggles and blessings.”

“There is no medicine for regret for mortals and cultivators.” Li Qiye had to smile: “A mortal might have a house full of children that randomly die in the wild. I have no regrets. Since I have chosen this path, I will walk straight to the very end.”

“Nevertheless, I am different from you. You didn’t have any other choice, but I did. You were forced to become the Dark Crow while I was born into a wealthy family, never having to worry about food or clothing.”

“Maybe so.” Li Qiye gently nodded. It wasn’t his own choice to take this path.

“It is all in the past, let us not talk about it.” Di Wei softly sighed and shook his head as if he wanted to put all the troubles behind him.

Li Qiye asked: “Grandpa Wei, what is your plan?”

Di Wei pondered for a moment before answering: “The truth is that I don’t really know. Maybe I should go to the Expedition Path or just be cannon fodder and test my luck. If the plateau wins, I can still survive and kill my way out!”

Li Qiye nodded and revealed: “Yes, that is also an opportunity. However, if you want to enter the path, you can try that as well. My Kingdom of Emperors will be working with three other empires for the expedition.”

“Let me think about it.” Di Wei mused it over: “If I decide to go on the expedition with your Kingdom of Emperors, I can borrow your Regal Gold as well.”

“Grandpa Wei, you are too reserved.” Li Qiye shook his head: “Your advice back then was quite beneficial and allowed me to become the War Emperor in a short amount of time. Just a little Regal Gold is nothing.”

Di Wei smilingly denied: “I do not dare to accept the credit. If you didn’t have an imperial heart, even more advice would have been useless.”
