Emperor’s Domination Chapter 3974: We Should Talk

You wish, wanting to use me as entertainment? Im not that bored. Li Qiye smiled while staring at the seahorse.

Tortures were meaningless for top existences like them. Even the cruelest treatment might only serve to help them pass the time, a little bit of entertainment.

Then I dont know anything. Yindu responded.

We both know that your death is only a matter of time. He said.

Everything is inevitable. However, Ill be here watching you die first. Yindu said.

I see. He paused before bringing up a different issue: What is your fear?

I fear nothing. Yindu answered without needing to think.

I disagree, everyone has an opening or weakness, even those as powerful as us. He glanced at the leaf and continued: Your fear will cause you to waver.

What is your weakness then? Yindu asked.

A brief silence ensued. He eventually responded: My heart is still alive.

Thats why youll die before me. Yindu smiled. It was impossible to tell whether a seahorse was crying or smiling but it gave off the impression that it was smiling.

Your heart is dead but that doesnt mean you dont have a weakness. He smiled.

An alive heart has too many weaknesses and potential threats. Youll never make it as long as us. Yindu said.

True, its potentially dangerous but its also a sign that I have yet to waver. He calmly responded.

A dead heart never wavers. Yindu insisted.

Are you sure? His lips curled into a faint smirk.

Elaborate. Yindu replied.

Tell me, why did he leave this leaf? Just to decorate this place and add a little bit of life to it? He turned his attention back to the leaf.

Yindu did the same and started contemplating. People like them didnt think of it as an ordinary leaf. It was a world full of possibilities containing everything they desired.

In fact, it wouldnt be an exaggeration to say that possessing this leaf meant having everything in ones grasp.

You know the answer. He added.

No. Yindu flatly replied.

He already came. It doesnt matter which form it was, the only thing clear was that he didnt save you. He said.

Hmph. Yindu scowled, the only one aware of what had happened in the distant past.

Do you think it was a message for you or for me? He asked.

Im not the only person who wants to eat you. Your true fate must be delicious, no one can resist the temptation. Yindu said earnestly despite the bloody message.

I can turn around and leave right now. Cant say the same about you. He said.

Its not bad, eras will pass by in the blink of an eye. This place is fine enough to be my grave. Yindu said.

Thats absolutely the case in the past but Im sure you know things have changed. He smiled.

Yindu didnt respond.

He gave you hope. The smirk remained on his face.

Yindus voice turned a bit cold: Hope? Theres no hope to speak of.

Its a shame that I couldnt find a better place for you after knocking you down. Being suppressed here must have been rough. He looked around and said.

Better than my old crappy place. Yindu didnt become angry.

Lets be honest, you have at least attempted. He remained fixated on the leaf.

Yindu didnt respond.

Everything has a price. He went on: After all, cause and effect are inevitable. The effect is up to ones effort, no?

Theres plenty of time. Yindu said: Unless you destroy me now.

Certain things will loosen with time. He continued: Weve talked about weaknesses and having a dead heart earlier. The situation will change and you wont be able to grow any more roots.

Yindus eyes shifted again.

Youre not afraid of death, the same with me. What am I afraid of? Im sure you can make an educated guess, the villainous heaven knows as well. But, my heart is still alive so there is still hope regardless of how broken it is. He said: But as for you, can you live again with a dead heart? Can you get your roots out of the prison once more?

With that, Li Qiye chuckled and said: We all have fears, just different ones. Your group should be pretty similar in this regard.

Yindu still kept quiet.

Thats why we should talk about certain topics. He concluded.

What do you want? Yindu eventually acquiesced.

The matters of the world are meaningless to us. He said: We can talk about that person instead.

Theres nothing worthwhile to say. Yindu shook its head.

Im sure just talking about this character is interesting. Tell me, youve met him before, and not just once either. He smiled.

Yes. Yindu nodded.

Then elaborate.

Its useless, you wont be able to dig out anything from our conversation. That person has gone farther than any of us, truly an enigma. Yindu said.

All puzzles have an answer and an origin. We and the villainous heaven do as well. He said.

Not incorrect. Yindu replied.

So lets smartly get through this. For example, why didnt he devour all of you? He asked.

We have an agreement. Yindu revealed.

An agreement? Who are the parties? Just your group or is it your group and him?

Its a tradition, always has been the case. Yindu said.

This only works when theres a balance between the parties. I climbed up there and took you down, one by one, and pinned you here. Could he have done the same? He stared at the seahorse.

Its because you chose to die together with us. We would have devoured you if it wasnt for the primordial light. Yindus voice became slightly murderous.

See, I obtained the primordial light and took the next step. Youre not a fool, tell me, did he have the ability to come up with something similar? He inquired.

Yindu didnt respond, clearly agreeing with Li Qiye.

Thats why its interesting. He actively chose not to eat your group. I dont think it has anything to do with tradition or balance. Plus, youve never cared about the tradition with the other groups.

There are always exceptions. Yindu said.

Then what is it? Maybe theres a deeper reason, perhaps hes afraid of something or to take it deeper, you all were still useful...

Yindu started contemplating.

Arent we being productive right now? Lets continue with sincerity. He said.

Whats in it for me? Yindu said.

Ill come up with a way to help you die faster, okay? Of course, it cant happen right away. He smiled.
