Emperor’s Domination - Chapter 2805

Chapter 2805: 2805

The people on the streets made way for Deng Rensen and the others who were glowing with light .

Zhao Qiushi and his own peers found this sight discomforting, akin to a rich guest visiting one’s humble abode, bragging about their wealth while making fun of others’ impoverishment .

“Dean Du, Repentance Institution is an influential academy in our system . ” Deng Rensen told Du Wenrui while walking forward: “It should be responsible for spreading the light to every nook and corner in this city so that it can cleanse everyone’s heart, turning them into devout believers . ”

Rensen was clearly rebuking Du Wenrui and his academy for not upholding their responsibility .

Wenrui simply smiled without retorting .

“They’re only regular mortals trying to survive, not like they’re villains or anything with darkness inside . Why must they worship the light?” One student from Repentance in the back couldn’t help but speak up .

Deng Rensen and his group clearly considered themselves to be superior, treating others like they couldn’t see the light .

“What else are they going to worship in this system, the darkness?” Shimao joined the conversation: “We cultivate the path of the light originating from our progenitor and obey his wishes . As a member of the Academy of Light, we should spread his light even more . Even this city should be under its influence . ”

“Idiotic . ” Li Qiye smilingly shook his head: “An absence of light is not a sign of evil . All living beings have their own consciousness, free will, and dao heart . They don’t need to worship the light . Desolate Saint himself never said something like this when he was around . Saving the world and its inhabitants is his will, he never forced others to worship him and the light . ” 

“The light must illuminate everything in order to stop the spread of darkness!” Rensen coldly uttered .

“Even more idiotic . ” Li Qiye repeated his headshake: “Forcing the world to worship your religion, that’s something that darkness would do . ”

“I’ve had enough of your hogwash! A sinkin like you deserve death!” Lu Shimao raised his sword .

“Gentlemen, this is our academy’s business, we’ll come to a conclusion ourselves, no need for you to worry about it . ” Du Wenrui interrupted the fight .

Shimao’s expression became frozen since this was not the right time and place so he couldn’t respond .

“Dean Du, we only want what’s best for everyone . ” Deng Rensen said flatly .

“And I appreciate your kind intentions . ” Wenrui smiled .

Wenrui once again mediated successfully . Nevertheless, the animosity and disdain only grew between the non-native faction and Li Qiye .

As for the natives like Zhao Qiushi, they were annoyed with Shimao’s attitude but couldn’t do anything about it .

On the other hand, they actually felt closer and had a better opinion of Li Qiye who came from the sin tribe .

The conversation stopped after this fight as they made their way towards Repentance Institution .

Repentance was the largest academy in this city . Well, it was the only one . Thus, the majority of people aspiring to cultivate would pick it .

Of course, those who have the means to travel further would try to join other academies . Alas, their background was a disadvantage during the recruitment process . The other academies were prejudiced against them, thinking that they were descendants of sinners .

Repentance was actually quite large . It was more than just an academy in the city . One could even say that it was the city’s governing body .

It was built long ago . Some even believed that it was started during the foundation of the system by Desolate Saint himself .

That’s why a few lists included it as the fifth great academy of the system . However, it hasn’t been on the same level as the other four, partly due to the undesirable location . No outsiders wanted to join so there was a lack of available talents .

After the arrival, Zhao Qiushi followed Wenrui’s order and prepared a place for Li Qiye . He was a reliable person, not discriminating against Li Qiye at all .

“Junior Brother, you can come to me for anything since you’ve just got here . I’ll be around the reception post for new students . ” He even told Li Qiye before leaving .

Li Qiye smiled at the enthusiastic youth and didn’t say anything . After the guy was gone, he sat on the bed and closed his eyes, seemingly falling asleep .

“You’ve been spying for quite a while now . ” Li Qiye slowly said: “Provoke me and I’ll drag your sect down here from the sky . ”

There was no one around him, only thin air . But with that threat, spatial ripples appeared along with a person .

She wore a blue silk dress and hid her face with a veil . Li Qiye had met her back in the pavilion during the training trip with the seven youths and Chen Weizheng . She eventually fled after getting a taste of his power .

She came back before him now, completely undetected by anyone else .

“Senior, I have no ill-will towards you, I simply want to end this karmic tie . ” She bowed respectfully while speaking with a voice as pleasant as an oriole .

“You can’t do anything to me anyway . A finger of mine can crush you and that monk . ” Li Qiye didn’t bat an eye .

She stood there with both hands straight down to show subservience . She knew who she was dealing with this time around and that he wasn’t lying about his abilities .

“Well, you’re at least a little capable, following me here from Immortal Demon . ” Li Qiye said .

“Senior, the truth is that the ancestor had given me a treasure capable of deducing your traces . ” She hurriedly revealed .

“Jade-zenith is indeed gifted, especially with calculations and divination . ” Li Qiye didn’t mind . [1]

“You know our progenitor?” The girl became startled .

“No, but since she dared to pry at the heavenly order, I’m sure she knows I’m here . Those who cultivate a heavenly scripture are indeed capable, but my background isn’t something she can spy and calculate . ”

“I was foolish and might as well not have eyes . ” The girl started having cold sweats .

“Well, you’re not as dumb as that monk . ” Li Qiye said .

She lowered her head and listened obediently . He already showed mercy for sparing her in the past .

Though her identity and backing were impressive, they weren’t enough to get into his sight . Perhaps he viewed her the same as an ant .

“Since you should be good at seering, what have you seen?” He glanced at her and asked .

The girl heaved a sigh of relief since earning his attention was an honor .

“Senior, I am incapable and didn’t get anything specific, only that the future is dark and impossible to calculate . ” She honestly answered .

“You’re not qualified to calculate this matter . ” He said .

“I’m ashamed of my lacking . ” The girl added: “I’ve previously left the sect under the order of the ancestor in order to settle a karmic tie and ended up offending you . ”

“The heavenly change heralds a monster . ” Li Qiye repeated this phrase .

“Yes, Senior . ” She said .

“What’s your take on this?” He smiled .

“In my opinion, you might be the savior, Senior . ” She hesitated for a moment before looking at him and answering truthfully .

“Why savior instead of monster?” He shook his head in response .

“I do not dare to guess my ancestor’s words of warning . Even if I do, I’ll probably be wrong . ” She added .

“Savior or monster, that’s up for debate . However, the overarching situation has changed indeed . One wrong step and Three Immortals will cease to exist . ” Li Qiye narrowed his eyes .
