Emperor’s Domination

The great vestiges of stars, continents, and cities didn’t add sounds to this dead world. Nevertheless, judging by some of the more preserved palaces, this place must have been prosperous with countless living beings.

“… Five, six, seven…” Thunder Emperor counted the palaces and said: “Twelve palaces in total. I wonder if they belong to the rulers of this world.”

“They aren’t palaces.” He smiled.

“Not palaces?” She thought her knowledge was insignificant in the outside world.

He observed the scenery and didn’t answer.

“What happened here?” She asked: “A major war?”

She didn’t understand why everything was destroyed outside of certain palaces.

“Hmm, not from fighting…” Upon closer inspection, the remnant marks appeared to be natural.

Everything collapsed in just a short time, along with all lives.

“How did this happen?” She didn’t know what could have caused this strange collapse.

“Death.” He said.

“Death?” She said softly.

“The death of an immortal, and not a common immortal.” He said.

In her mind, all immortals were incredible beings on the river of time, capable of reigning over dao sources. Thus, how could there be a common immortal?

“The immortal turned into a world, so after death, the world died with him.” He elaborated.

She shuddered because if she were a living being in such a world, she would also collapse with the immortal’s death.

“Something’s off.” Li Qiye shook his head.

“In what sense?” She stared at the palaces again.

“It wasn’t like this before.” Li Qiye released his supreme will to scan this world.

“Buzz.” The twelve palaces lit up and exuded an immortal power.

“Destruction!” She shouted upon sensing this eruption. This must have been the reason for the total collapse. Everything was fragile before this ultimate power. Moreover, this explained why the palaces were unharmed.

Fortunately, Li Qiye protected her from obliteration.

“Clank! Clank! Clank!” A different immortal formation emerged in the form of a golden radiance, also engulfing this world.

When she opened her eyes, everything receded. The twelve palaces and their immortal power were nowhere to be found.

At this moment, it seemed as if pale moonlight was shining down. The strange thing was, when she looked up, there was no moon in the sky.

When she looked down, she realized she was standing in water. It supported and prevented her from sinking.

Looking into the distance, she saw that the entire world was flat. Aside from the water beneath her feet, there was nothing else at all.

The whole world was a flat plane, and the water beneath her appeared shallow enough not to cover her feet. However, the water somehow pulled her in and she became a part of this phenomenon.
