Emperor’s Domination

As he delved deeper, he came across a dense fog. Cultivators saw different things - billowing immortal energy, golden radiance, celestial treasures, mortal worlds, their forgotten past including their loved ones and home...

This fog was once Heavenfall’s blood. He didn’t accept defeat, and now his blood had taken on this lingering and vile form.

Li Qiye smiled and continued onward.

“Hey, wait, wait!” Someone pulled his arm to stop him - a youth in a blue robe.

Although he looked mischievous and undisciplined, he was a supreme overlord. Because of his imperfect appearance, he actually exuded an amicable and down-to-earth feeling.

Normal overlords could wipe out kingdoms in the blink of an eye, often feared by all. However, the youth seemed inviting enough for even mortals to chat with him.

“What are you doing?” He glared at Li Qiye.

“Just heading inside.” Li Qiye said.

“Do you know what this place is?” He couldn’t help but ask, scanning Li Qiye to confirm he was a mortal.

“Of course, Heavenfall Path, why do you think I’m here?” Li Qiye waved dismissively.

“It’s not that simple ahead, having legs isn’t enough.” He said angrily.

“Oh?” Li Qiye smiled.

“How strange that you made it here.” He became puzzled: “Did you not see treasures along the way?”

“You weren’t tempted at all? Interesting and impressive willpower, brat, others would have died long ago.” He praised.

“Not at all, I’m not here for treasures.” Li Qiye said.

“Then why are you here?” He became curious.

“Just want to appreciate this vast world.” Li Qiye smiled.

“Hahaha.” He paused for a moment before laughing: “Is that so? I didn’t expect such a zen-flavored line to come from a mortal, interesting.”

“Why not?” Li Qiye asked.

He pondered carefully before nodding: “There’s nothing wrong with it since this world doesn’t belong to just one person. For an ant, the forest doesn’t belong to it but it can still take a look.”

“Close enough.” Li Qiye smiled.

“Brat, you’re an interesting one. It is your fortune to have run into me, Mo Xiangsheng. Acknowledge me as your master and you will become an emperor in no time at all, able to see more places.”

“You as a master?” Li Qiye played along, scanning him up and down.

“I am a master of a world, surely able to teach you.” He glared at Li Qiye.

“What kind of world?” Li Qiye asked.

Despite his youthful appearance, he had lived for a long time and had started a great lineage. In his firmament, not to mention mortals, cultivators all desired to be under his tutelage.

He had taken in many; most became emperors and ancient ancestors. Thus, taking in another disciple was not a big deal for him.

“Qingyang Firmament, population in the hundred millions and several thousand sects.” He said proudly.

“Never heard of it.” Li Qiye shook his head.

“Brat, it’s one thing that you haven’t heard of my firmament, but you clearly know that I am a supreme overlord, the master of countless lives.” He said.

“Yes, a supreme overlord, a dragon compared to us mortals.” Li Qiye nodded earnestly.

“Right? Then what are you waiting for? Kneel and worship me.” He laughed happily.

Of course, a dragon wouldn’t care about the feelings of insects. In this case, he somehow wanted to hear Li Qiye’s acknowledgement and approval.

“No need.” Li Qiye shook his head.

“Why?” He didn’t expect the refusal.
