Emperor’s Domination

Chapter 3406

s.h.i.+ Wawa has been waiting for Li Qiye’s return. He propped his chin with both hands while staring at the fog with a grimace.


Li Qiye has been gone for so long now. What if he had died?


The long wait made him drowsy. His head shook a bit, causing him to wake up again. He looked outside and coincidentally enough, a figure appeared in the fog.


“You’re back!” The drowsiness dissipated right away as he stood up and rushed towards the entrance.


Li Qiye sauntered out of the fog; the petrification force still couldn’t touch him.


“Thank G.o.d you’re back, Young Master.” Wawa placed his palms together and celebrated.


“Are you okay?” He looked at Li Qiye from top to bottom. No petrification anywhere. He then started touching Li Qiye’s arms. Still fine. Every inch was still made of flesh and blood, no sign of stones.


“You’re really something else, Young Master. Only an immortal or a G.o.d can walk in the fog like that.” Wawa was lost in admiration.


Li Qiye chuckled and returned to Wawa’s house then sat down. Wawa followed and sat down next to him, overwhelmed with curiosity: “Young Master, what’s actually in the fog? A devil like people say? What does it look like?”


Wawa has heard of many legends about the canyon and the fog. No one knew what was inside so he was very curious about Li Qiye’s findings.


“If there’s actually a devil in there, there wouldn’t be peace in the canyon. It would already be reduced to ashes without a single gra.s.s around. These pillars can’t guarantee peace in that case.” Li Qiye smiled at the youth.


“Makes sense.” Wawa scratched his head and agreed.


The petrification power didn’t target anyone inside a village nor tried to invade one. The thing was bizarre.


“So what is it?” Wawa remained curious.


“You can’t understand it right now. You’ll figure it out when the time is right.” Li Qiye shook his head then stared out the window.


Wawa stared at Li Qiye instead. The guy’s eyes pierced through the fog and reached the deepest part of the sky. They were unfathomable, a thousand times deeper than the sky.


Li Qiye didn’t move an inch, seemingly becoming a statue. Wawa didn’t know what he was doing. However, he felt that Li Qiye was looking at a peerless mystery.


In reality, Li Qiye was actually lost in his thoughts, contemplating recent events. After a while, he withdrew his gaze and sighed. “This makes no sense. What is the villainous heaven thinking?”


He had a slight frown. In the modern-day, no one understood the villainous heaven more than him. However, the current events made it quite confusing.


The heaven didn’t cause all of this. This wasn’t its style; it had a penchant for total destruction. [1]


As for the fiends, they couldn’t do something to this level, especially not so silently. The heavenly execution was still looming and waiting.


That’s why it was so strange for the villainous heaven to not react to these events.


Li Qiye had read the records of Eight Desolaces with a focus on the big disasters. He found very little, only a few lines here and there. Future descendants didn’t know about it.


The geezer left behind the most accurate thing in the form of various images, solely meant for Li Qiye.


Unfortunately, everything suddenly stopped after the entrance of light emerged. The geezer didn’t leave behind any clues about this.


The geezer was the wiliest of them all. Something unexpected must have happened for the message to stop.


Li Qiye had to think of all the possibilities; millions of potential paths flashed in his head.


His session was interrupted by sun rays. He looked out and saw that the fog was gone. The pillar was no longer bright either. Everything resumed to normal just as before.


One could hear the dogs and chickens from some of the villages now. The villagers began working once more.


s.h.i.+ Wawa was also busy preparing food for Li Qiye. Unfortunately, he was the only one here and had no good food.


“Are you going to Ancestral City now?” Li Qiye asked after finis.h.i.+ng his humble breakfast.


“I…” Wawa hesitated, having never left home before to such a distant place.


“I’ll be staying there for a bit so if you want to go, we can go together.” Li Qiye said, contributing their meeting to fate.


“Really?” Wawa was ecstatic, having full trust in this man despite having only met.


“Yes, so get ready right now. It won’t be as easy going alone later.” Li Qiye nodded.


“Well...” Wawa scratched his head and agreed again. He was still young without any traveling experience. He was indeed nervous thinking about going alone later: “Okay then, I’ll go with you to Ancestral City, Young Master.”


This rare opportunity took off a lot of stress for him. He went to prepare for the journey and this didn’t take long since he only had a few things.


Before leaving, he went to the central area with the statue. He placed his palms together and said: “Uncles, Mother… I’ll be going with Young Master to Ancestral City and will return soon. Wait until I’m back, I’ll learn how to reach atavism and join everyone…” He quietly prayed.


This was indeed sad because he was the only one left in the village. He knew no one else in the world. Of course, the golems were used to this type of life.


“Wawa is going now, please watch over the village, Forefather.” He then turned towards the statue and bowed.


The statue didn’t react. In reality, he was still alive because he was only at the pseudo stage. Who knows when he’ll reawaken again?


Li Qiye quietly watched to the side and didn’t comment on this race’s choice for survival. It was indeed worth pondering.


The two left the entrance and heard a crack. The frog from yesterday crumbled and turned to powder. They scattered to the ground and became mixed with the mud and soil.


This was a common sight along the way. The animals that were too late to return to a safe haven were shattering today.
