Chapter 1475: True Martial Island (2/2)
Li Qiye and Tantai Ruonan sat by a precipice and enjoyed the breeze while playfully swinging their feet.
She leaned on his shoulder and looked down on the entire island. The two of them didn’t say anything and basked in the peaceful silence.
Li Qiye wistfully spoke: “Millions of years have gone by, but the mountains and rivers remain the same, unlike the fleeting inhabitants.”
“Yes, it would be amazing if Father was still here.” Ruonan gently sighed and added: “I couldn’t send him off back then.”
“He only wants you to leave and go far away. He didn’t want you to come back. Even though you couldn’t send him off, I’m sure he feels very happy to know how far you have come.”
As the Dark Crow, Li Qiye naturally knew what True Martial was thinking. This was an unfathomable character since he was on the same level as Prime.
Being a child of the sea demon race, True Martial understood their race’s mission. However, the love of parents trumps everything in this world, and True Martial was no exception.
He didn’t want to see his daughter having to face this mission. As a sea G.o.d, he naturally knew what his daughter would have to do after becoming one herself. Because of this, the price didn’t matter in his search to sever his daughter’s bloodline. This was why he paid an exorbitant amount for the Dark Crow to do so.
He wanted his daughter to soar to the free sky and swim in the liberating ocean instead of being shackled in Heaven Spirit. Of course, Ruonan understood her father’s good intentions and actions.
Nevertheless, a full circle came around since she still returned to Heaven Spirit, the thing her father didn’t want to see the most.
It wasn’t for that mission or whatever but for the land itself. She truly loved it.
“I know…” After a long time, she lamented and continued: “I still want to see him again in this lifetime.”
Li Qiye slowly answered: “It’s not impossible. Even though the world says that sea G.o.ds are dead and no longer in this world, many things are still alive and continue to exist. This is just like the ancient bloodline itself. After generations have died, it will continue to be pa.s.sed down.”
She quietly nodded and knew what Li Qiye was referring to. She eventually asked: “When the Heaven’s Will comes back, will you start your journey, Young Master?”
“I don’t need the Heaven’s Will for something so simple.” He gently shook his head: “In this generation, there is no turning back. I have to move forward until my death or the start of the new epoch! It isn’t easy to win in the final battle.”
“What are you waiting for then?” She knew just how cruel the final battle will be. Despite knowing that Li Qiye could very well die in battle, she still wouldn’t try to stop him.
This has never been her intention, and she didn’t want him to stop either for it would go against his courageous creed that has lasted for millions of years! No regrets, no retreat, no stopping!
“I’m waiting for grand completion!” Li Qiye explained: “I need a chance to reach the ultimate grand completion, a Heaven’s Will at its pinnacle, and the highest of acc.u.mulations. Otherwise, death will await me regardless of how powerful I am.”
“I’m certain you can wait until then.” Ruonan gently replied: “You have been plotting for generations so waiting a bit longer won’t cause any harm.”
“Indeed, it shall come. Too many people have been buried and too many bones have been paved. G.o.ds and emperors, how many of these invincible beings became nothing but bones in the end?”
“Maybe I’ll be around long enough and see your triumphant return.” She held his hand tightly and intertwined her fingers with his.
Li Qiye declared with a smile: “When I am victorious, it will be a glorious and beautiful era.”
Their casual conversation would make others think of two lovers sweet-talking to each other. No one would expect it to be a discussion about a heaven-shattering event!
