Please refrain from using the scale of a scoundrel to judge a gentleman. It took a lot of effort to gather this head and blood, Im sure youre aware. Li Qiye leaned on the golden skeleton and smiled.
Gentleman is not the word I would use to describe you. The dark being said.
Well, theyre here and as you have said, it is up to your whim. Li Qiye shrugged.
The being fell into silence.
After a while, it finally spoke: What treachery are you concocting?
Do you have something better for me to scheme? Your inborn body, soul, and blood are all right here. Li Qiye said: If I want them, I can just take out your soul and refine you, there is nothing else you can do. Well, maybe this is actually a good idea, I can refine your body into a nice weapon as well.
Having said that, he patted the skeleton and said: What kind of weapon should I make? I should imbue your trinity soul into it as well, thats an easy epoch treasure. I have to be meticulous with the crafting though since you have lived too long and its divinity has diminished slightly. Li Qiye said.
Hmph. The being scowled.
What should I name it? Li Qiye went on: Trinity Artifact? Or Chaos Anima Artifact?
You wouldnt go through all this trouble for a paragon artifact. The being uttered coldly.
Then you tell me, how else are you useful to me? What other values do you possess outside of your skeleton and true soul? Li Qiye smiled: Thats why I kept on telling people how good of a man I am. Im not going to refine you since you are Trinity Ancestor, the progenitor and defender of an epoch. Although you have fallen to the darkness, you havent done anything that bad, no devouring yet. No one is perfect in this mortal world, recognizing mistakes and correcting them is the greatest virtue, so I am giving you a chance at resurrection.
The dark being naturally didnt buy it. The guy had sound logic because everything he had was up for the taking. Everyone coveted his inborn dao chaos physique and inborn trinity true soul. Nothing else came close to their value.
The Dark Crow does no good deed without something in return. He sneered.
Sigh, I give up. Your head and blood are right here, its your problem now. The question is, do you want to be the magnificent protector known as Trinity Ancestor or the guest of Celestial Court who is suppressed by his own body? Thats entirely up to you. Li Qiye shrugged.
I will cease to exist after the rebirth. The dark being said.
Yes, a true rebirth will also cause your demise, you know yourself better than anyone, an epoch progenitor will not let corruption be in control. Li Qiye nodded.
Youre using me as a weapon. The being tried to guess Li Qiyes intention.
Why would I? Even if you somehow return to your peak after rebirth, I can still kill you if I want to. Not useful in the slightest. Li Qiye said.
The being didnt like this response.
Dont be annoyed, I am just speaking the truth. You might feel superior to me since youre older and I was born in your epoch. After all, how could anyone be your equal, the source of an epoch? Li Qiye shrugged: In reality, youre not much compared to the current me. Youre not older than the imprisoned geezers, not stronger either. I still killed them all the same.
He paused for a bit before continuing: You at your prime in that prison would have been nothing more than a meal.
Your result would have been the same in the absence of that primordial light. The being sneered.
I cant deny that but you, the source of an epoch, did you have the courage to enter the tigers den? Li Qiye smiled.
What do you want? The being could tell that Li Qiye wanted his rebirth but for what reason? The guy didnt go through all this trouble out of kindness.
Just trying to do a good deed, thats all. I guess people just dont take me seriously, do I have such a disgusting face? Always being viewed as a scheming beast. Li Qiye waved his hand.
A scheming beast is a generous description of you after what you did in Heavenrealm. The being said.
Well, I suppose you do have a point, now Im beginning to question myself, what am I scheming? Li Qiye nodded and stroked his chin.
I see, you wish for me to pave the road. The being speculated.
What road? Li Qiye shrugged.
You wish to kill Derivation and Primals group but you dont know where they are hiding. That is why youre here. The being concluded.
Thats one possibility. Dont you remember how they killed your son, devouring every piece of flesh of his dao chaos physique. I heard he screamed in misery, such a tragic end. Have you never thought about avenging him? Li Qiye said with a smile.
Hah, I have attachments to nothing in this world. The being said: Who hasnt killed before? You killed plenty of sons before, this is as normal as can be.
I almost forgot, youre not Trinity Ancestor but just a fallen true soul. But when you get resurrected as Trinity Ancestor, I wonder if you will try to wipe out those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds. Li Qiye said.
This left the dark being in silence.
I think you would. Li Qiye said: You all never liked each other anyway. Hah, Primal Ancestor thought that you were just lucky enough to be born early, to be blessed with those inborn gifts. Otherwise, he would have rubbed you against the ground, leaving you no chance to be imperious.
