Chapter 2111: Setting Off (2/2)

Her face turned red and nodded continuously. Words couldn’t describe her emotions right now.

In the end, the three left and Li Qiye went to find Soaring Immortal Prince.

The prince bowed and said: “Thank you, Your Excellency, for saving Celestial.”

Li Qiye shook his head: “No need to thank me, this chess board has been prepared for a long time now, not expecting to actually use it. One can only say that greed is overwhelming even for emperors.”

The prince gently sighed. So many monarchs and High G.o.ds didn’t hesitate to end the academy despite what it had done for them.

“The thirteen continents should be calm now after this battle.” He said. No one would dare to challenge the academy now after fully seeing its capabilities.

“As it should, but this is only the calm before the storm, the prelude before the descent of darkness.” Li Qiye said.

“It’s coming that fast?” The prince shuddered, aware of this terror.

Li Qiye nodded: “Yes, it’s very near. The dark overlords have been hiding all along, no one knew of their existences. But now, they couldn’t help but showed themselves? Outside of the greed earlier, they knew that there isn’t much time left so they wanted to take my dao heart as preparation for the winter.”

“True.” The prince nodded: “They have erased all traces of their existences in the past eras, not wanting the world to know that the shadow is always looking at the thirteen continents.”

Few knew about the existences of these beings, not even the low-level emperors. Only the top ones have heard of legends; the ones who could actually make contract were the twelve-will emperors.

Nevertheless, World and his peers wouldn’t tell the world in a reckless manner.

“A war is inevitable in the future.” Li Qiye said: “I hope that light of the academy will be eternal. As long as it is around to guide the hundred races, even if it is weak and flickering, it will be just fine as a symbol of hope in the darkness.”

“I hope so too.” The prince sighed: “We’ll certainly try our best, but what we really want is for you to guide us as the lamp.”

Li Qiye shook his head: “It’s time for me to leave. I won’t be around in the future, there’s something else I must do.”

“Where are you heading to?” The prince wasn’t surprised at all, understanding the importance of Li Qiye’s task. His father and grandfather also did the same.

“I don’t plan on partic.i.p.ating in the final battle for now since it’s much more arduous than you can imagine. I’m going to someplace else, an untouchable world, for further research in order to reach a greater height. I must open a new page for this epoch, or it will be too hard later. Your father and grandfather have thought of this as well.”

“The mythical world that does not exist?” The prince asked. He knew many things due to his background. Both the emperors have tried to find the door to this world but due to a lack of fortune, they gave up and chose the ultimate expedition instead.

“Yes, the timing and fate weren’t right for them but I have prepared enough for a trip.” Li Qiye said.
