Chapter 6510: Another Cool Line

“They’re not at fault, you were the one who chose duplication.” Li Qiye said.

“Fuck, I want to dig his grave, can’t even let me have peace after death.” Splendor Monarch complained.

“Can’t dig it even if you want to.” Li Qiye smiled.

“I should be in charge of myself.” He said.

“Changing your mind now?” Li Qiye asked.

“Bah, of course not, the sky can fall and I’ll still be living in luxury.” He said.

“Then keep it going, it’s not a bad choice.” Li Qiye said.

“Right, I’m already dead and no one cares about me, I need to take care of myself and forget about the past, let them all die.” He said.

“Indeed.” Li Qiye nodded.

“Wait, something’s off.” He glared at Li Qiye.

‘What now?” Li Qiye asked.

“Since you know everything, you know how to break the status quo.” He said.

“Isn’t it simple? You’ve done it too, your fate is yours, not the heaven’s.” Li Qiye said.

“They still want me to get back up and abandon this luxurious life.” He said.

“I suppose that might make things difficult.” Li Qiye said.

“That’s why only you can say that nauseating line since you have the primordial will.” He said.

“As I said, you can have it if you want.” Li Qiye smiled.

“Don’t play with me, I’m taking you seriously.” He said.

“I’m not, it’s in that place, go take it if you want.” Li Qiye said.

“What a waste of words, telling me to compete with you for it. I would have to work much harder and risk my life for nearly zero chance of winning.” He said.

“No, it won’t be a competition. I simply left it here.” Li Qiye said.

“You’re giving it up, are you out of your damn mind?” He blurted in disblief.

“My mind is outstanding.” Li Qiye smiled.

“This is the primordial will we’re talking about. You poured so much effort into getting it.” He said.

“I’m aware.” Li Qiye smiled: “Countless life-and-death trials to obtain it. My true fate was born from it as well, so I know its value more than anyone.”

“But you’re still going to give it up.” He paused for a while before remarking.

“This is how it should be. I don’t need any external thing, just the true self will suffice. I came into this world with nothing and I’ll leave with nothing.” Li Qiye said.

“Goddamn it, another cool line.” He jumped out of his chair and said: “Just say it straight, you’re about to become a true immortal. You’re not the type to give things up out of generosity, bah.”

“All this about coming with nothing and leaving with nothing, you almost had me fooled. I might have shed a tear for you, it’s a good thing I know you too well.” He continued.

“Will you cry for me?” Li Qiye joked.

“My ass.” He said: “You bastard only make a move when it is a sure win. There’s no heroism or sacrifice here.”

“Sigh, am I really that unbearable? I just want to leave what belongs to the mortal world to the mortal world. And, what belongs to the villainous heaven should return to it too.” Li Qiye said.

“Go enjoy being a true immortal by yourself. No one’s going to see you or praise you, what’s there to be proud of? Go be all alone and quit showing off in front of me.” He said.

“You’re judging a gentleman with the scale of a petty man.” Li Qiye shook his head: “I told you the secret already. If you need it one day, it’s there.”

He fell into silence after hearing this. After a long while, he asked: “When are you planning to leave?”

“Once things are settled here.” Li Qiye gazed at the horizon.

“To Heavenrealm.” He said.

“Yes.” Li Qiye nodded.

“Finally letting go.” He sighed.

“Yes, I am just a passerby. I will return all things before leaving.” Li Qiye said.

“The nine worlds, thirteen continents, all in the past.” He became sentimental.

“Eight Desolates, Six Continents, Three Immortals, all in the past.” Li Qiye also became sentimental.

“Yes, I suppose it’s time to let go. You gave your whole life to get this far.” He said softly.

“It is what shaped my past self. Once I let go, there’s no more debt. The world and its inhabitants will be responsible for themselves.” Li Qiye said.

“That is why you didn’t reverse time to an unreasonable extent.” He said.

“Respecting the world’s choice, karma in everything.” Li Qiye said.

“You never intended to take its place.” He said.

“I’ve done what I should, the world won’t need me anymore.” Li Qiye said.

“Damn.” He said: “What will you do after?”

“Once I’m done with Heavenrealm, that will be the time to give back.” Li Qiye smiled.

“The final battle.” He knew of Li Qiye’s final destination.

“Yes, an ending and an answer.” Li Qiye said.

He stared at Li Qiye for a long time before smiling wryly: “You’re a real bastard, you know that?”

“Yes, but still better than being trapped here.”
