Chapter 1713: A Heavy Load During A Long Road (1/2)

Magu couldn’t stay quiet as well: “Outside of that, what else is different between the worlds?”

Li Qiye smiled and pointed at the sky: “The biggest difference? How should I put this… The biggest difference is that they are a little closer to the villainous heaven. For us, it might be separated by a world but for them, it could be looming right above their head.”

He continued: “This is both good and bad.”

“Why is it a bad thing?” Old Xian asked: “There are writings stating that the Divine and Heaven Races are the heaven’s favorites.”

He was the strongest and oldest ancestor from the War G.o.d Temple so he knew a few rumors unavailable to the rest of the world.

“That’s true.” Li Qiye nodded: “They are indeed the favorites, at least in their own opinion. They claim to be exceptional with an extremely n.o.ble bloodline. In that world, humans, golems, charming spirits, and bloods are indeed flawed compared to them. However, after generations of work from our emperors and wise sages, we still have our own home and sky, despite being so close to the heaven. So what if they are the favorites, we just need to put in the effort before stomping down on the beautiful faces of these races, to let them know the power of ants like us!” He chuckled at this point.

South Emperor’s blood was boiling. He was sure that Li Qiye has stomped on these geniuses before and he also had the will to do so, defeating all the geniuses in the tenth world!

“What is bad about being close to the high heaven?” The G.o.dfiend asked.

“Do you think the high heaven has eyes?” Li Qiye pointed up at the sky and smiled.

The group was a bit perplexed by this question. They wouldn’t make this statement since it was more of a phrase belonging to the mortals. When they experienced injustice or bullied by others, they would utter this phrase, hoping that the high heaven would become the arbiter.

“This phrase has nothing to do with equality and fairness.” Li Qiye explained: “Being close to the high heaven is not good at all. The stronger you are, the closer and the more dangerous. When you reach a power capable of crossing through the myriad worlds, this danger grows even more. Once it reaches a particular level, a tribulation will come down. Who knows if you will be able to bear it or not.”

“The emperors and G.o.ds up there will incite tribulations after reaching this level!” South Emperor understood and became startled.

“That’s right.” Li Qiye nodded: “If you can’t handle it, you will turn to ashes. All of your effort and strength will have been wasted. A lifetime of cultivation… for nothing.”

“Then what do the emperors and G.o.ds do?” Old Xian asked.

“Hide from this power so that the villainous heaven can’t spot you.” Li Qiye chuckled and told South Emperor: “In the future, you might have to face this situation and you must hide from the world as well.”

“Is there no other choice?” South Emperor asked for clarification since he was about to become an Immortal Monarch.

“Yes.” Li Qiye smiled: “Fight to the very end. This was a choice many people have chosen as well. Alas, all became corpses. It didn’t matter how powerful and amazing they were. Death was the only result, at least till now.”

South Emperor became quiet. He had heard about the final battle before. His Excellency, the Dark Crow, has chosen this path.
