Emperor’s Domination

There were two incredible enterprises in Heavenrealm; each occupying an entire planet the size of a minor world.

They were neither located in the nine major worlds nor the three thousand minor worlds. They existed as independent nodes in this vast universe.

Nevertheless, travelers still came often. The main customer base consisted of emperors and ancient ancestors. Overlords and even immortals might visit.

One was Duality Enterprise; the other was Origination Enterprise. They formed a striking contrast for multiple reasons.

The time of their establishment differed greatly. Duality Enterprise was an infant while Origination was an old man nearing the end. One was at its peak while the other gave the feeling of dusk.

In Heavenrealm, some immortals have lived long enough but they weren’t as old as Origination Enterprise. A comparable immortal from the same period was Mang.

Origination, the founder, has been reclusive all this time. Since he had become an immortal long ago, he needed to bury himself to prevent the flow of time. Rumor has it he died long ago.

In fact, the overlords of the enterprise had no idea if their founder was still alive or otherwise. Some attributed this aspect to the enterprise’s downfall.

However, others disagreed. They claimed Duality Enterprise’s rapid rise to prominence was the reason. Why? Because Origination Enterprise still prospered before the rival’s appearance, despite not having an active founder.

Duality Enterprise was magical, spreading across Heavenrealm and its three thousand worlds. Its asset has surpassed any other rival at this point.

Ads by PubRev Its founder, Duality, was exceptionally generous and approachable. He could befriend anyone.

Some called him a mortal; others believed he was an unfathomable immortal. Either way, he had connections all over the world.

For instance, Heaven Assault was considered the greatest alliance currently. Its leader stood at the top of the primordial immortals. Nevertheless, he still addressed Duality as “brother”.

One outrageous story depicted a hidden immortal wanting to devour a minor world in secret. However, this minor world managed to get in touch with Duality somehow and scraped together a sizable fortune.

The baldy then chatted with this immortal, shoulder to shoulder, and offered the fortune as a bribe. He persuaded the immortal to give up his plan and leave the minor world alone.

All in all, Duality was friends with all the alliances. He could be found fishing with villagers in a random world and in the next moment, residing in the palace of Heaven Assault Alliance.

Everyone knew that as long as the price was right, this baldy could make any deal happen. However, he didn’t do business for money. In his own words, it was just about making friends.

People truly believed him because his profit was always minimal. More importantly, the price was always something they could accept.

These principles became the foundation for friendships and connections, hence the rise of his enterprise.

Li Qiye saw that a whole planet had become the headquarters of Duality Enterprise and couldn’t help but smile. The enterprise had the most assets in Heavenrealm but its founder was far from wealthy.

He distributed his share of the profits to the three thousand worlds. His generosity invited powerful cultivators to reside on this planet.

Li Qiye strode through the thriving planet with haste, causing an overlord to stop him.

“May I ask who you are seeking?” This overlord became startled when his power was useless.

“Where’s the baldy?” Li Qiye asked with a smile.

“Brother Duality is not there, I’m afraid.” The overlord said.

Overlords, immortals, and mortal peasants always addressed Duality as “brother” or “baldy”. He didn’t mind the latter nickname either.

The overlord was right. No one knew where Duality was due to his random nature. He could be in the store or in a corner playing with a fool, watching ants go by.

“It’s fine, I’ll catch him.” Li Qiye smiled.

The overlord became afraid and stared at this strange mortal. He couldn’t help but think about the founder.

“I’ll get the general manager.” The overlord left.

“Fine.” Li Qiye sat in Duality’s chair, causing other overlords to frown.

A while later, the general manager came by – a youth in a gray robe, looking rather ordinary.

“Who is it?” The general manager wondered who dared to cause trouble here.

“You!” The youth’s eyes went wide upon seeing Li Qiye.

Li Qiye stared at him and chuckled: “What’s this? Changing your style to be more like me?”

“I’m just ordinary, not trying to copy you.” The youth swallowed nervously before straightening his back.

“That’s fine, I’m not that overbearing. Plus, what you did for Lil’ Black can be considered atonement. I forgive you.” Li Qiye said.

“You win, is that what you want to hear?” The youth stomped his foot, clearly reluctant. Updates are released by Novᴇl_Fire(.)net

“You wouldn’t have had to suffer so much by admitting defeat earlier.” Li Qiye said.

“Who says I admitted defeat?” The youth muttered resentfully while lowering his head.
