Emperor’s Domination

“Even true immortals shall be slain!” The high heaven roared and his solar crown erupted brightly.

This light didn’t belong to this world for it was one of the three spirits - Sun.

“Boom!” It pulsed toward Li Qiye - a force comparable to maternal powers. This force was beyond compare for it existed before the opening of the primordial.

“Pluff!” He became vulnerable and the spear drilled into his chest, spilling blood.

However, something unknown surged from Li Qiye’s eyes and frightened the high heaven. This was unprecedented since he was the creation lord of this world.

He looked like a child intimidated by an adult raising his fist.

“Unfortunately, I’m not An Ran.” Li Qiye’s power stopped the solar pulse and slowly pushed the spear back.

“Boom!” At full eruption, it sent the high heaven flying.

“Damn!” Duality Master back in the mortal world felt this power: “Old man, this is your true power? It is absolutely unfair!”

Other living beings had no idea what was happening because the fluctuation made them faint.

Only Duality Master, Empress Hong Tian, Origin Heaven Emperor, and similar cultivators maintained consciousness.

“The high heaven never existed!” Li Qiye shouted and grabbed the spear, thrusting it straight into the high heaven’s chest.

“How can this be?!” The high heaven’s eyes widened in disbelief due to the unknown force.

“Why not?” You are just a form, a manifestation of a child’s obsession.” Li Qiye said.

“Bam!” The crown on his head shattered, releasing Sun.

“Buzz.” Affinities began disappearing, leaving behind nothing but Sun.

However, it was circling around something - a child just learning to speak.

He radiated a primordial light as if he was the source of all things. Each ray could give birth to a world.

All of Heavenrealm combined would only amount to twenty to thirty percent of this child’s power and energy.

Although he seemed like the source, this was not the truth. At birth, he had taken possession of an incalculable amount of worldy essences - the substances of all things. The remaining amount then gave rise to worlds and living beings.

Beneath the child were five of the nine primordial words - Time, Space, Origin, Fate, and Thing.

When they unfurled, they wrapped around him like a blanket. Sun circled around the sleeping child as if protecting him.

However, Li Qiye’s attack woke him up.

“Ahh!” He was not happy about the disturbance and unleashed destruction automatically.

Li Qiye had to block it to prevent remnant waves from destroying Heavenrealm.

The child raised his hand and grasped Sun, Star, and Cloud along with the nine primordial words, throwing them at Li Qiye.

This successfully knocked Li Qiye to the ground. The child crawled on top of him and grabbed worlds.

“Not like this!” Duality Master saw the hands: “Should I try?!”

However, he stopped and murmured: “Just need to stay determined.”

“Buzz.” His forehead lit up. Many others felt the same thing.

“Stay determined.” They understood what to do.

Meanwhile, the child grabbed all worlds to smash Li Qiye’s face. They shattered and ceased to exist.

He was frightened and angry, punching Li Qiye nonstop. Alas, it didn’t seem to work so it grabbed the nine words and three spirits again. This successfully drew blood.

“Don’t be disobedient now.” Li Qiye grabbed his hand and smashed him into the ground repeatedly.

“Ahh!” He screamed before bursting into tears.

His cries could destroy everything. The nine words and the three spirits activated their strongest state, surging against Li Qiye.

“Stand aside.” He stopped them with his supreme will.

The child wriggled away, going into hiding.

“Come out.” Li Qiye searched for him but he was too afraid.

“Fine, let’s play a game.” Li Qiye smiled and also turned into a child.

This was not an illusionnor a disguise but rather, his pure and untainted childlike heart.

Nothing else existed in this realm - only a baby Li Qiye attempting to find the high heaven.

After a long while, the babbling Li Qiye grew hungry and dropped to the ground.

Time was not a concept in this space but eventually, the high heaven crawled out of the hiding spot. He looked at Li Qiye and sensed no malice.

Since this was another child just like him, he gave Li Qiye some candy. Li Qiye happily accepted and the two ate together.

After enjoying their snack, they happily laughed. Li Qiye raisd his hand and drew a river of time.

The child watched curiously as Li Qiye drew karma and the reincarnation cycle. The yin and yang were particularly vivid...

Before he knew it, Li Qiye took his hand and guided him to draw everything. A world slowly appeared before them...

Then one more and another - Eight Desolace, Thirteen Continents, Three Immortals, Heavenrealm’s nine major worlds, and three thousand minor worlds...

As the child was preoccupied with creating worlds he had just destroyed, Li Qiye assumed his original appearance.

“Pop!” The child finished his creation and stared happily at Li Qiye.

Meanwhile, living beings in all worlds had no idea that they had just died and were revived. Only a few cultivators retained this memory.

“Fight each other, don’t drag me into it.” Duality Master shook his head: “It’s not easy living with two bad babies causing tantrum above.”

Empress Hong Tian and the others gained further enlightenment. Although their hearts were shaken, they remained determined and unmoved.

“For the finishing touch.” Li Qiye smiled and sent down a light.

“Cosmic Return.” He chanted and summoned the maternal powers - Core of Order, World’s Heart, Nest of Life, Source of Wisdom...

They combined and took the shape of a girl.

Li Qiye then reached into Eight Desolace and took out something from Bodhisattva Grave.

A gentle light spilled into the mortal word - the conscience of heaven and earth.

“The thoughts of all beings, the conscience of heaven and earth.” Li Qiye’s words became resonating laws.

Living beings looked up and beathed in the radiance of this new force. Their single thought was to maintain their dao heart.

Their goals aligned in one direction, whether it be regular cultivators or immortals.

When these sentient beings gave rise to this thought, the light in their heart ignited and became marked by the world’s consciousness.

Li Qiye then imprinted this consciousness into the girl formed by maternal powers.

“Be with all living beings, share the same thought as them. The dao heart stands with all, this is the mortal world.” Li Qiye inscribed his law into the girl.

He then raised his hand and transformed the three spirits and nine primordial words into mortal halos to circle around her.

“All together, immovable dao heart.” Li Qiye chanted and the girl dispersed, merging into the lives of all beings.

“How’s that?” Li Qiye looked at the child after finishing everything.

He looked at all worlds and giggled joyfully.

“Let’s go.” Li Qiye said.

The child raised its hands, wanting to be carried by him. He lifted and placed him on his shoulder.

He looked back at the mortal world and touched his forehead, causing a bright resonation.

“Stay determined.” Empress Hong Tian and the others felt it and realized the path ahead.

“Bah, old man, I’m not going to suffer along with you, I will just slack off here.” Duality Master lay on the ground and refused to get up.

With that, Li Qiye walked away with the child sitting on his shoulder.
