Emperor’s Domination

Those in Divine Firmament couldn’t possibly imagine someone ruling above Kun Peng and the others.

The divine beasts have lived for epochs. None was older outside of the late Worldbearer Tortoise. Most frighteningly, this hidden being obliterated Heaven Bearer, the strongest defense in their world. Moreover, Worldbearer had sacrificed everything to boost Heaven Bearer to the limit, nearly reaching the apex power level.

This meant that even Dusk and Heavenfall couldn’t break Worldbearer with one move. The mastermind behind this was a puzzle for everyone.

“Is there an older divine beast?” A skykiller dragon servant asked.

“Elder Tortoise is the oldest.” An elderly servant said with confidence.

“Who else then?” An overlord said.

“In theory, no one, both His Majesty and Her Majesty, are resting. Chongming Immortal Lord can’t command them either.” An immortal said.

“Of course, she is sealed currently.” Another responded.

“I’m sure they were the ones who sealed her.” An overlord said the thing that was on everyone’s mind.

“Finally separated.” Everyone noticed that Divine Firmament was no longer a part of the sea of wisdom. Their worldly energies stopped flowing away.

“Are they giving up?” An immortal wondered while looking at the new continent.

“So we’re saved?” Everyone began celebrating.

All eyes turned toward Li Qiye, the reason for this development. Somehow, this shocked them more than finding out about the mastermind’s existence.

“Who is he?” They stared at him in confusion.

“The high heaven?” One immortal asked.

“But the high heaven means the end of the world.” Others became afraid while whispering.

This theory would explain the sudden sealing of the sea of wisdom - a reaction against the calamity. This meant they would be doomed too.

“Thank you for saving us, Sir.” Apex and Hao Cai came over to greet Li Qiye.

Hao Cai had deep ties with Li Qiye, while Apex had met him before. Only Ninth Lady was a stranger. Moreover, since she was from Epoch’s Dawn, he could be considered their enemy.

Thus, she only bowed and turned to leave. She stared at Worldbearer Firmament one last time and said: “Goodbye, old turtle.”

Having a karmic string severed was a good thing for a primordial immortal. However, she didn’t feel that great. After all, Worldbearer was the reason for her success. This was why she risked her life to help him. As karmic ties disappeared, loneliness took over.

“Young Noble, what do you think?” Princess Ming Shi appeared before Li Qiye with a smirk. She was now known as Cosmic Fairy.

The cosmic ancestral dragon also shrank down and followed her.

“About what?” Li Qiye smiled.

“My cultivation, pretty impressive, right?” She tilted her chin up, looking as if eagerly awaiting his praise.
