Chapter 2113: Ancestral Nest (1/2)
Not only was the prince excited about the possibility of his family being alive, the fact that someone else could survive from the final battle also meant that this epoch could still be saved.
“But if people have returned, why were their epochs still destroyed? Why couldn’t they guard it?” He thought about something else.
“That’s the most interesting part, and one of the reasons why I want to go to Nonexistence.” Li Qiye chuckled: “If I’m correct, some have made it to the end of the ultimate expedition and left successfully.”
“What? If that’s the case, why didn’t they return and protect their epoch?”
“No one knows.” Li Qiye shook his head: “Well, leaving doesn’t mean abandonment. This is why the ancient world is still around.”
Many epochs have been destroyed but there were remnants, for example, Hope or the wildland. Nevertheless, there was no life in those places.
This ancient world was an exception. It certainly didn’t belong to the current epoch yet it was full of life. No one knew how or why someone was able to leave it behind in this manner.
“Because of this, someone was able to reach Nonexistence from this place, no, more than just one. Nevertheless, even the lord of an epoch must go alone on this journey. Being able to take people with them would be too unbelievable.” Li Qiye said.
“Wait, why didn’t everything end after someone came back from the expedition? Why did they still let the cycle continue?” The prince found this illogical.
“Isn’t that interesting? What would you do after reaching that height?” Li Qiye asked.
“Guard my epoch and stop the collapse.” The prince immediately blurted out. This was the goal of so many wise sages. People have spent too much effort on this path, including his father and grandfather.
“But someone chose against that.” Li Qiye said: “Maybe he moved his epoch or only worried about himself, or maybe, he chose to abandon everything.”
“Why abandon everything?” The prince didn’t get it. If he had such power, he would definitely never give up on his own epoch.
“I’m not them so I don’t know.” Li Qiye said flatly: “Perhaps he found that the world isn’t worth saving, or perhaps he felt that something even worse would come of it. Or, he is actually guarding his epoch even now, we just don’t know about it.”
The prince didn’t respond since he couldn’t look further into this issue despite his considerable power.
“Then what would you do, Your Excellency?” He asked with a serious expression.
“You want to know whether I’ll guard the epoch?” Li Qiye shook his head: “I won’t, but I won’t just leave either. The final battle is only the beginning for me personally, so I’ll keep on fighting. That’s my answer.”
“Keep on fighting.” The prince was shaken. Viewing the ultimate expedition as another starting point? When will it end for him?!
“That’s why you all need to take care of the thirteen continents.” Li Qiye said softly: “If I’m given the chance to make a choice in the future, I want to be a pioneer, opening a new door for myself.”
The prince nodded, finding it unnecessary to comment any further.
Just like that, the two talked about other things, such as preparing another strategy for the academy again for the darkness in the future. It needed to survive the dark years in order to become the guiding beacon for everyone else!
“Boom!” Suddenly, a loud explosion resounded from the depth of the ancient world with chaos energy oozing out.
A nest from this place flew out, made from some unknown immortal wood. Laws and wondrous light floated around it. It seemed capable of gestating some incredible items.
A ma.s.sive dragon and tiger were shouldering this nest, using the strongest technique in order to raise it. Alas, the nest didn’t want to leave and dropped down again.
