Emperor’s Domination

He had met the youth back in Star Ocean. The guy dispelled his merit laws with a single bone and ordered the darkloop mother to tailwhip him.

He still ached from the serious injuries but more importantly, he had offended the ancient ancestor with his impudence. He felt hot all over, stuck in a tough spot.

“I, I just remember, I need to get my clothes in before it starts raining.” He decided to leave with his trees.

The only place he could stay was his own, wanting to dig a hole to avoid seeing others. Fortunately, he didn’t talk about gifting them yet.

As a desolate god of the heavenreach stage, he was far stronger than Tortoise or Dragon-pill Emperor. In fact, he might ranked third when not counting the primal ancestors.

If his gift couldn’t match Tortoise or Huntblade’s, the result would be utter humiliation.

“Phew, I made it.” Solar heaved a sigh of relief since he didn’t say anything about the gift.

As long as it wasn’t presented, face was not lost.

From his Star Peak, he spied on the others. After a long while, they went to rest just like Li Qiye.

With that made clear, he rushed over like the wind while carrying his Nine-sun Vine. It was more than a treasure to him since its suns contained pivotal dao, a potential lifeline in the future.

However, he gave a damn no longer, wanting to offer it as a tribute to not lose to the others. He snuck around like a thief, entering Silence Peak.

Given his power, he could endure the power of silence and gain entry. The issue was he couldn’t plant his Nine-sun Vine.

He dug a hole and placed the vine only for it to be shot upward by the mysterious power. He had no choice but to dig a hole in a different place. Alas, the outcome was the same.

This continued for quite a bit until he was driven to the brink of madness. Unfortunately, he couldn’t vent by screaming since that would alarm the other brothers or worse, the ancestor.

Finally, he gave up on planting the tree on the peak or the vicinity. He quietly left to the shore, wanting to finish the task.

The same result happened - the invisible power still rejected him. He chose another spot to no avail, and another…

He found himself in quite a predicament. It seemed he needed the ancestor’s permission first before planting.

However, what if the ancestor didn’t want his most precious possession? To be frank, this was a matter of whether the ancestor liked the gifter or not. The gift itself didn’t always matter. Being refused the honor was just as humiliating.

“Little Brother, need help?” A friendly voice disrupted his anxiety.

“Uh…” He became frozen and didn’t know how to pose cooly. He tried to hide the vine behind him.

Due to his troubled thoughts, he didn’t notice Crimson Virtue approaching.

“No, it’s alright.” He turned hot from embarrassment: “I didn’t see the ancestor so I’ll just be leaving this here.”

“Silence Ancestor’s power is here eternally. You need the ancestor’s permission to plant. Come, greet him.” Virtue patted his shoulder.

He begrudgingly followed Virtue to see the man whom he had disrespected.

“Right here.” Li Qiye waved his hand and Tortoise helped him plant the vine by digging a new spot.

As he watched the vine being put into the ground, the weight was lifted off his shoulder. He became annoyed at his ignorance and pride.

These two negative traits put him in this position and didn’t stop there. They made him think mistakenly that he would be able to plant the vine himself.

“I was a prideful idiot, please punish me, Ancestor.” After realizing this, he felt much better and prostrated before Li Qiye.

“Ignorance is not a crime and this trivial matter is far from being unforgivable.” Li Qiye waved.

He suddenly felt much better after a proper apology. The pressure from Silence Peak suddenly disappeared as well.
