Chapter 1880: The Mythical World Destruction
The princess’ heart grew heavy after hearing this. She finally understood the phrase - ignorance is bliss. She has never thought about this issue in the past but after finding out, she felt a never-dissipating darkness engulfing this world.
“Young n.o.ble, did you come into being because of this matter?” Her eyes flashed brightly with a revelation: “You want to stop the inevitable world destruction?”
Li Qiye laughed in response and flicked her jade-like nose: “That’s quite funny.”
“Am I wrong?” She was quite confident in her speculation. After all, a supreme existence like him wouldn’t travel the mundane world without a good reason.
“Girl, I’m afraid you will be disappointed.” Li Qiye gently shook his head: “I’m not that benevolent of a person. My travel isn’t to break the situation as a savior.”
“Then why did you come into being?” The princess mustered enough courage to ask an inappropriate question, given her status as a junior.
While gazing into her supreme beauty and a pair of eyes full of hope for the future, he answered softly: “There’s no savior in this world, at least I’m not one. A pa.s.senger is who I am.”
The princess didn’t quite understand the statement and continued to stare at him.
“I’m not here to break the inevitable situation. I only want to fight at the end of the world.” He gently sighed while meeting her gaze.
“The ultimate expedition!” She trembled. This topic was too heavy; no one has ever returned from one.
It started with the innovative Origin Heaven Emperor to the brilliant Deep South Divine Emperor then came Immortal Emperor Fei; next was the astonis.h.i.+ng Immortal Emperor Gu Chun and the determined Immortal Emperor Min Ren; last was Immortal Emperor Qi Zhen. None had returned from these expeditions; no news of triumph.
Thus, she remained dazed after finding out that Li Qiye came into being for the legendary ultimate expedition.
It took a while before she could speak again: “What about the end of the world? Why is is that all the emperors want to embark on the expedition instead of caring about the world?”
“It’s complicated, not something for you to know.” Li Qiye elaborated: “World destruction can be construed differently, depending on the perspective. It might not happen either. I call it world destruction from my personal perspective.”
The princess heaved a sigh of relief but the next statement depressed her once more.
“Alas, it is the truth.” Li Qiye stroke her hair and said: “If you to look forward to something, then start hoping that this type of world destruction won’t happen in your lifetime. That’s also a type of happiness. Who gives a d.a.m.n about the calamity after they’re already dead?”
“But if it is the truth, then why don’t the emperors do something about it?” She asked.
“It’s because you aren’t privy to certain information, such as what the emperors have done and the secrets in the past. You might have the chance to find out after possessing ten Heaven’s Wills.” Li Qiye revealed.
“Is the ultimate expedition even more important than breaking the looming threat?” She didn’t understand.
She had heard of legends about the expedition but its purpose remained unknown.
“The world destruction is only a branch on the expedition path.” He looked at her and said: “If you can win, then the myriad ages are mere ants. The so-called world destruction can’t reach the apex. Just win the expedition and no need to worry about anything!”
