Chapter 1934: Who Will Herald The Golden Era? (1/2)

“Therefore, War-Monarch, Are you prepared for the future? What will you fight for and with what power? Will you be able to protect your clan and race?”  Li Qiye stared at the emperor and asked.

The other three emperors were also fixated on War-Monarch. Though they weren’t aware of a few secrets, they still had their own speculation.

War-Monarch finally responded: “Sacred Teacher, let’s not talk about the future. I only want to know why you picked our clan. You once said in the past, that our clan is only a hound of World Emperor so it’s quite surprising to see this today.”

The emperor’s skepticism was understandable. His clan was the biggest supporters of the Heaven Race. The moment a war were to break out between the hundred races and the heaveners, they would absolutely be the first imperial lineage to pick a side. Meanwhile, Li Qiye was the Dark Crow of the hundred races, their life-long enemy.

“Because I trust the four of you, regardless of your background.” Li Qiye nonchalantly said.

This was indeed a weird comment due to their volatile history against each other. Back then, they wanted nothing more than to decapitate the other side. They were fire and water due to the racial tension.

But now, Li Qiye said that he trusted them? It was quite an unbelievable matter to outsiders.

War-Monarch brought up another point: “There’s no lack of emperors on the hundred side too but you still picked us.”

Li Qiye calmly revealed: “Your group naturally isn’t the only one. There are others as well. You think you four alone can deal with the wildland? It would be suicidal.”

“That’s true.” War-Monarch nodded, not feeling slighted by the comment. As a ten-will emperor, he was aware of how terrible the wildland was. Starting a war here was going to be devastating as well.

If someone like Cycleless Devil Emperor died here in the wildland, so could they.

“One person or race can’t monopolize all the good things in this world.” Li Qiye said: “It is time to share the soup. The hardest thing in this world is getting started, but a new beginning might come for the hundred and three races. Who to say that one day, our races won’t walk hand-in-hand?”

“No one can predict the future.” War-Monarch agreed with a nod: “The world is always changing, perhaps you are right. Enemies of the past will become allies in the future.”

“That’s why I said that there needs to be a new start. I shall carve out this path but whether the emperors team up together or still fight like in the past, that’s your business in the future.” Li Qiye chuckled: “It’s a bit cliche but after sharing this pot of soup, I’m sure everyone will have a new perspective and might even sit down to talk together.”

Li Qiye paused for a bit before continuing: “When the fire of war rages in the sky, I’m sure everyone will trust those they have fought together with before. I indeed caused a war in the past, but today, I shall try and lead everyone into coming together!”

“Remembering the past and finding hope for the future.” War-Monarch had to admit: “Sacred Teacher, you have always been insightful. Alas, not everything in life goes the way we want. Even if you wish it so, the world might not listen.”

“That’s fine with me.” Li Qiye smiled: “The direction of the world isn’t up to the people anyway, it is under the control of top emperors like you - we all know this. Plus, you think I care about the future? I am only opening a small path like the spreading of a curtain. The future will be in your hands. To be frank, to welcome the light or to be shrouded in darkness, that’s your responsibility and your choice to make.”
