Chapter 1537: Current Situation (1/2)
After Li Qiye’s comment, Hallowed became quiet. He has personally trained two sea G.o.ds before so he knew more compared to others. Alas, he preferred to not talk about certain topics. However, it was different for a character of Li Qiye’s level.
After a long time, he said quietly: “Your Excellency, there’s no dodging this disaster?”
“No.” Li Qiye chuckled: “You know full well that it is inevitable and is coming even faster than your imagination.”
The ancestor’s heart sank after hearing this. He was only holding onto a sliver of hope that the disaster might not come. But Li Qiye was the speaker now and destroyed his last hope. He knew that relying on this minuscule chance was simply daydreaming, not realistic at all.
The confirmation coming from anyone else, even a sea G.o.d, could be wrong. But this time, it came from the eternal dark hand. Thus, it was absolute with no room for error.
Li Qiye gazed far away and said slowly: “The chance is very low in this generation but it shall come in the next with an unprecedented swiftness!”
“Next generation?” Hallowed shuddered. In fact, he has not prepared well enough. Neither did his sect.
“As you can see, when I controlled the Divine Tree Ridge, there was no reaction from Heaven Spirit. The Bonesea and the ridge itself didn’t retaliate. Reviving the tree back to its peak form was a direct provocation towards them but they didn’t do anything.” He explained.
Hallowed was aghast after realizing something: “They’re acc.u.mulating more power, biding for the right time.”
“That’s right.” Li Qiye replied: “As the saying goes, one must endure the trivial things in order to carry out the grand scheme. They chose to keep quiet against my challenge because they are waiting instead of ruining their eternal plan from a momentary lapse of judgment.”
Hallowed began to panic. This disaster was coming too fast while his pavilion wasn’t completely ready. How could the eggs be safe when the nest is broken? When that day comes, their pavilion won’t be able to escape the same fate either!
Hallowed pondered for a bit before asking: “Your Excellency, if you partic.i.p.ate, how will the war go?”
“What do you mean? Fighting against the Bone Sea?” He chuckled and said leisurely.
“Well… yes.” The old man smiled wryly and stared surrept.i.tiously at the sky again.
“With my state two days ago when I control the Divine Tree Ridge at its highest power and with all of my methods, so what if the Bonesea wants to fight? As long as the ridge itself doesn’t interfere, I’ll show the Bonesea what a real heavy price is!”
He grinned and continued: “If I truly want to go to war, as long as I have enough time and not caring about the cost, I’ll make the two of them submit right there!” His gaze turned cold after this declaration.
“But you sea demons, treants, and even the charming spirits, are you worth my paying an immeasurable price?” He glanced over at the ancestor: “If this was me in the past, I wouldn’t look twice even if you sea demons are slaughtered and would give no s.h.i.+t to the death of the charming spirit race!”
Hallowed understood his intention. After all, the guy was a human. Moreover, even if humans were to stand in his way, the eternal dark hand would slay them mercilessly anyway. A human like him wouldn’t care about the well-being of the sea demons. Moreover, this was a race who has opposed him repeatedly. To be frank, it would be a kind gesture from him to not applaud and cheer during their destruction.
“The Bonesea and the Divine Tree Ridge are indeed capable of causing the nine heavens and ten earths to tremble. Even emperors can’t do anything to them. But they have been very smart all of this time to never provoke me!” Li Qiye smiled faintly.
“They aren’t your enemies, Your Excellency. According to the rumors, you have a grand goal at the end of the world…” The old man hesitated before finally revealing what was on his mind.
