Chapter 1652: Three Branches Failure (1/2)
“War is cruel; soldiers are wrapped in a horse’s hide after death instead of a proper funeral. Their blood sprayed all over the battlefield.” The true G.o.d powerfully said: “We brothers were mentally prepared the moment we followed you for this fate!”
Li Qiye gently sighed: “Perhaps that is the case. War is cruel so this is the time for Azure Dragon to enjoy the glorious period. Let me handle the wars as the paver of the future.”
“I’m certain victory is in your grasp, Your Excellency.” The true G.o.d ceased. He understood that this was His Excellency’s sympathy for the legion and not wis.h.i.+ng for the legion to fight with him till the b.l.o.o.d.y end.
“Yes, I shall return triumphantly eventually.” Li Qiye stared at the horizon and eventually responded.
A while later, the true G.o.d half-jokingly said: “Your Excellency, you have gotten your body back so maybe you should let the G.o.ddesses and saintesses in this world have your offsprings.”
Few would dare to say this to Li Qiye in this generation. Only the true G.o.d would bring up this topic. After all, he has followed Li Qiye for so long and wanted, more than anyone else, for Li Qiye to have some descendants. At the very least, his branch would continue regardless of what may come in the future.
“In due time.” Li Qiye shook his head. He wasn’t in a hurry about this matter.
“Your Excellency, if you are willing, I can find candidates for you in order to leave behind the strongest descendants.” The true G.o.d couldn’t help but offer.
Li Qiye smiled again: “Worldkeeper, I have never cared about leaving my bloodline behind. Let this be up to fate. The woman who is meant to do so shall do so for me.”
Worldkeeper gently nodded and understood Li Qiye’s thoughts. This was someone who had experienced many generations and met many amazing women, including female Immortal Emperors. However, few could win his attention and even fewer could get him to agree for them to have children together, as rare as the autumn leaves.

The cultivators in Mortal Emperor were holding their breath while Azure Dragon camped at Pearl. Everyone knew that a storm was coming, one that would be stronger and fiercest than the rest. It could even destroy the entire Grand Sea.
They understood that Soaring Immortal wouldn’t take this defeat lying down. However, vengeance required a great war since Soaring Immortal would hold nothing back.
There were both anxiety and antic.i.p.ation. Would the final victor be the sect with five emperors or the mysterious and frightening legion?
Many sects were afraid of the flame of war spreading to them as well. A battle of this level would destroy everything nearby. Many sects would be engulfed by this disaster as well.
“Let’s withdraw right now or our sect might be destroyed.” A few intelligent strategists encouraged their sects to leave their home in the Grand Sea.
However, very few were willing to leave. For anyone, abandoning their foundation was very difficult. How many would actually make this choice?
Before the start of the war, Li Qiye saw another guest back at Pearl. It was Heavenly Emperor Lin from Soaring Immortal.
He changed quite a bit versus the last visit. He seemed to be tired, not as spirited as before.
“Looks like you’re here to tell me the bad news.” Li Qiye smiled after noticing the youth’s dejected appearance.
Lin smiled wryly and said: “Brother Li, we have failed. Our ancestors lost power when the imperial princes came back. Soaring Immortal is under the control of the princes and Ancestor Long now.”
Li Qiye wasn’t surprised at all to hear this: “Looks like your imperial princes not only didn’t die in the prison but had great harvest as well. Such good fortune, huh?”
“They’re very strong.” Lin bitterly smiled: “The ancestors from our three branches lost to the princes and have lost their freedom. They’re under house arrest now.”
