“Misunderstood? If you were so kind, you wouldn’t have dug that pit for everyone. Hmph, we all could have fought together.” The being said.
“If everyone was willing to be on the same side, they wouldn’t have viewed it as a pit, only a kind proposal.” Li Qiye waved dismissively.
“A kind proposal?” The being sneered: “Taking down the three giants of Crimsonheaven and seizing their territories and fortress. I’m sure you coveted that land from the very start.”
“No way.” Li Qiye shook his head: “I came without any knowledge of that region and plus, I had no power and forces to speak of, how could I possibly have taken them down? This was due to internal conflict. Sigh, is that what people think? My poor reputation up in Heavenrealm.”
“Internal conflict, haha? Those three giants have been on good terms for countless years and fought numerous battles together. Others tried to instigate in the past, only to find that their bond was unbreakable.” The being said.
“Well, nothing lasts forever in this world.” Li Qiye said: “Think about it, how mighty and imposing you used to be, a true force to be reckoned with. You had lofty aspirations too, even if you couldn’t conquer the high heaven, you still could decide the fate of countless eras. Alas, your light is replaced by the darkness that you used to despise.”
“Hmph.” This was a sensitive issue so the being let out a furious scowl capable of crushing stars.
“Don’t be angry, I am just stating facts, especially about how glorious you once were.” Li Qiye smiled.
“The past is not worth mentioning, I am still walking on the same path, albeit with a different choice.” The being said.
“Now that is incorrect.” Li Qiye shook his head: “The path disappeared the moment you became part of the darkness. Your dao heart was shaken and there is no way to return to the path. It is the wrong side, and the reason why the villainous heaven has the shadow beneath his feet.”
Li Qiye stared at the dark power and said: “The moment you made that decision, deep down, you knew that all of this was just self-consolation. In the end, no matter how powerful you become, you’re still living a borrowed life under the shadow, you will never be able to reach the villainous heaven. The old geezers are still toiling and hopeful, but can they amount to anything?”
“Again, this is your personal belief.” The being said: “Light and darkness are mere perceptions. When you stand at Terminus, if you perceive darkness as light, then it is light.”
“Hahaha.” Li Qiye burst into laughter and said: “You’re deceiving yourself now. There may not be a definition at Terminus for light but darkness’ definition is eternal. Your heart cannot illuminate, so you can’t decide whether something is light.”
“Wait and see, that day will come sooner or later.” The being said.
“How confident.” Li Qiye said: “How badly did you fail to undergo such a transformation? Did you think that eliminating the high heaven was hopeless so you turned around?”
“There is a pioneer for this path, if the previous doesn’t work, it is time to change.” The being said.
“That’s an interesting way to think about this. Fine, keep on surviving then, let’s see if you can outlast the old geezers.” Li Qiye said.
“Why do you think you are superior? What have you accomplished beyond our own?” The being said.
“I plan and act, never to be swayed by temptation, never waver in the face of difficulties, and certainly won’t retreat because the path seems impassable. I choose to sweep away the obstacles instead. We are different.” Li Qiye smiled.
“Please.” The being disagreed.
“There’s nothing I can do to convince you.” Li Qiye said: “Why do you think Crimsonheaven and the others crumbled?”
This interested the being, prompting him to ask: “How did you do it?”
“Do what?” Li Qiye chuckled.
“Crimsonheaven was impregnable, the same for their bond. Alliances have tried before to no avail. Why were you the exception?” The being asked.
