Chapter 5496: Stealing Is The Wrong Way Of Putting It

You know, attention doesnt imply love. Li Qiye smiled.

What is it then? The emperors brows furrowed.

Hate begets attention, rage as well. Li Qiye smiled mysteriously.

What are you trying to do? He felt something ominous looming on the horizon.

What do you have to fear when youre already dead? No, whats worse than your current state? Li Qiye shrugged.

He agreed about his predicament - dead yet still bound to this forsaken world.

And? He stared at Li Qiye. His intuition was right - the guy wasnt kind enough to come pick up his corpse.

If the world despises you and the same for the high heaven, we can do something to make it really mad. Li Qiye couldnt help but smirk while imagining: Youll get all the attention then.

You do know that I cant do anything in my current state. He said.

I dont expect a dead man to do anything but worry not, Ill do the dirty work by bringing you to the high heavens home. If I smash hard enough, maybe youll splatter all over the place. Dont you think that will really get it angry? Li Qiye said.

Of course. He agreed.

This is the important part of the plan, when its angry, itll be too easy for you to turn into ashes. Others cant kill you and your smelly aura, but the villainous heaven should be able to obliterate you. Li Qiye said.

I see, you want to use the high heaven to sever the cycle. He said.

Use? More like Im doing it a favor in lending it a hand to help another living being under its watch. Li Qiye said.

I would be dead afterward though. He said.

A heavenly tribulation was certainly capable of reducing his dao to nothingness and severing his cycle. However, the key to Li Qiyes plan was to have him alive after the fact.

Ill be there too, right? Li Qiye said: Anger is a tempestuous emotion, a sign of life, right?

Youre trying to steal from the high heaven, I see. He understood.

Once again, youre painting me as a bad guy. All Ill be doing is helping out because having too much anger is a bad thing, one has to vent somehow. Li Qiye shook his head.

Stealing the high heavens anger He had never thought about this before.

Everyone in the world was afraid of the high heaven, not daring to incite its wrath. Now, Li Qiye wanted to provoke it on top of stealing its anger for his own gains.

A being born from the high heavens anger, that seems to follow the rule, no? Li Qiye patted the emperors shoulder again and continued: What kind of existence will you become? Definitely better than this world-weary dao thing, right?

Rebirth and reincarnation were coveted by all cultivators. Supreme overlords might have been able to do so, albeit with clear deficiencies.

What they were about to do was one step above that - severing from the initial cycle and seizing rebirth through the anger affinity of the high heaven.

The driving force in this case was not Li Qiye but the high heaven. He was only there to facilitate. Ultimately, the result would be a new being with a part of the high heaven embedded.

f.u.c.k, youve gone mad. The emperor couldnt help but curse after hearing the plan.

Its the madness that makes it fun. Not everyone can reach this level of insanity, you know? Li Qiye laughed.

You targeted me from the very start because Im the diarrhea that can provoke the wrath of the high heaven. Thats why you urged me to partic.i.p.ate in the wars. He said.

In their previous meeting, Li Qiye persuaded him to leave his reclusive lifestyle. This was a successful plan, driving the combatants away from the battlefields. However, this ended with his death.

In reality, he already knew that this would be the outcome. After all, death was what he wanted. What he didnt expect was to be stuck in this state - his dao remained indestructible.

Now, it became clear that Li Qiye was planning something beyond that - not just using him to stop the wars.

No, there has to be something else beyond reviving me. He said.

Sigh, who has time to plan and scheme so much? Im merely doing whats best for you so that you can be freed from this fate. Li Qiye said.

Right, you are doing whats best but for you, not me. He said.

Sigh. Li Qiye patted his shoulder again and complained: What if I hadnt interfered, have you imagined what type of life you would live?
