Emperor’s Domination - Chapter 6951

[Chapter 6872 What do you have now?]

Li Qiye smiled and said, “It would be a waste to leave your Dao heart like this, even if you are already dead.”

“Since I’m dead, what use is Taoism to me?” the blurred face said slowly.

The blurred face said this, and both Thunder Emperor and Xiong Xian were shocked. Dao Heart is indestructible, but if you die, then what is the use of this Dao Heart? No matter how indestructible it is, you will die in the end.

“Are you sure it’s useless?” Li Qiye said leisurely.

“There is no use except to survive.” The blurred face said: “If you don’t want to survive, no matter how firm your heart is, it will be useless.”

“So, your understanding of the Dao Heart is still a little short.” Li Qiye smiled faintly.

“It doesn’t matter. I just want to survive.” The blurred face said slowly.

“In order to survive, are you willing to pay any price? Or, in order to survive, are you willing to give up your heart of Taoism?” Li Qiye said leisurely, looking at the blurred face.

Li Qiye’s words made the blurred face silent and did not answer Li Qiye.

After a long time, the blurred face said: “I just want to survive alone. Let me survive in silence, that’s all.”

“So, you still stick to your Dao heart.” Li Qiye smiled faintly and said slowly: “You also know that survival is your only desire, and Dao heart is also the only thing you stick to. You will not give up your bottom line just for the sake of survival. In your opinion, which is more important, Dao heart or survival?”

“Don’t make a choice.” The blurred face finally said slowly.

“What if I want to strip you?” Li Qiye said slowly, “What do you think?”

“Why are you stripping me?” The blurred face couldn’t help but said depressedly: “I’m not in your way, why are you stripping me to survive?”

“I didn’t say I would strip you to survive.” Li Qiye shook his head gently and said, “Some things are just a different way of doing things.”

“What do you mean by another way?” the blurred face asked slowly.

Li Qiye looked at the blurred face and said seriously: “Although you are dead, completely dead, and want to live, that is impossible, but your Tao heart is still there. Tao heart is indestructible, so plant it.”

“Is your Tao heart growing?” The blurred face was silent for a while, and finally spoke, slowly.

“You can think of it this way.” Li Qiye said slowly: “It can also grow, or it can remain like a rock for eternity.”

“Can it generate life?” The blurred face couldn’t help but ponder.

“It all depends on your Dao heart. The persistence of your Dao heart determines its growth.” Li Qiye said slowly.

“That is Daoxin, not me.” The blurred face fell silent, and finally uttered these words. Although the words were weak, he was unwilling to say them.

“Have you ever thought that you are the Dao Heart, and the Dao Heart is you.” Li Qiye said slowly: “This is a kind of perseverance, and also a kind of ideological will. If you don’t have the Dao Heart, will you be who you are now after you die?”

“But, there will be no trace of my past or present.” The blurred face understood what Li Qiye said and said slowly: “In other words, in the future, there will be no trace of my past, nothing at all.”

“You think that you are a fairy mirage. You were a fairy mirage in the past, you are a fairy mirage now, and you will be a fairy mirage in the future.” Li Qiye smiled faintly and said.

“I am the Immortal Mirage.” The blurred face said, “If I am not the Immortal Mirage, what does my future self have to do with my present self? Am I still dead?”

“So, what do you have now?” Li Qiye looked at the blurred face slowly and said leisurely: “Do you have your own world now? Do you have your own relatives? Do you have your own avenue? Do you have your own life?”

Li Qiye’s words made the blurred face silent. It was unknown how long the silence lasted. Finally, he said softly, “Nothing.”

It was indeed so. He was a very strong and powerful immortal, but everything was gone. There was nothing left in the world. The world he created had been destroyed. His relatives and loved ones had turned to ashes billions of years ago. Even his great path and immortal power had disappeared with his death.

“So, now you actually have nothing.” Li Qiye smiled and said slowly: “You think you are a mirage, then, how many people in this world do you think remember you? They don’t know who you are either. You are just a mass of death struggling here.” As he spoke, he patted Emperor Leiming’s shoulder.

At this time, the blurred face looked at Emperor Leiming and Xiong Xian. Emperor Leiming wanted to speak, but he didn’t say the last word.

In fact, she really knew nothing about the Immortal Mirage. As for any great achievements or amazing things that the Immortal Mirage had done in the past, she knew nothing about it.

It’s not just her who knows nothing. Ask the world, how many people still know about the fairy mirage, and who still remembers it.

“Your Dao heart only seeks to survive, but billions of years have passed and no one remembers you. You have long since disappeared in the long river of time.” Li Qiye said slowly: “And the Golden Immortal lit up his Dao heart and illuminated it for billions of years. The living beings illuminated by his Dao heart will remember him from generation to generation.”

“I don’t mean to illuminate anyone.” The blurred face said simply.

Li Qiye smiled, nodded gently, and said: “You really don’t have to illuminate anyone, but you are already dead. You think you are a mirage, but it has dissipated and it no longer exists.”

At this point, Li Qiye looked at the blurred face and said seriously: “Even if the heaven gives you a chance to revive, then you are a mirage. But, what is the meaning of this mirage? Does anyone remember you? Do the things you have still exist? Can you have everything you once had again? Can the people who once loved you come back again? Can they come back to you? Can the world you have, can it be in front of you again? Can the avenue you practice, can it still be the same as before…”

Li Qiye’s words slowly fell into a long silence. After a long while, he could not help but say softly, “It’s all gone. All gone.”

“All of these are gone, but your Dao heart is still there.” Li Qiye said slowly: “Are you obsessed with survival? Or are you obsessed with the past? If you are obsessed with the past, then your past no longer exists, and you can’t make your past return to you intact. You can’t do it, and the heavens can’t do it either. But if you are obsessed with survival, this life is not your past life, but your future life.”

“What if I can give birth?” The blurred face said unwillingly.

Li Qiye couldn’t help but smile, and said slowly: “What you call life is just a symbol, but this symbol no longer exists. You also know very well that God will never let you live. Even if you really struggle to live, and you can finally get over it, the price you pay is not the life you want. This life will not only prevent you from having the life you want, but also, it will be a life worse than death, a life that is completely unrecognizable!”

“Are you letting go?” The blurred face said slowly after a long time.

“You have this heart of Tao. If you are not dead, when you want to move forward, you will eventually have to go through this hurdle. The future belongs to the future, and the past should belong to the past. If you want to let the future stay in the past, you will never be able to cross this hurdle. You will always stand there, and no matter how you struggle, you will not be able to cross it.” Li Qiye said slowly.

“You mean after the other shore?” Finally, the blurred face understood what Li Qiye was talking about.

“That’s about it.” Li Qiye smiled faintly and said slowly: “At this time, you have to ask yourself, are you going to stick to your heart of Tao, or seek a life worse than death?”

“No matter how good the future is, it’s not me.” The blurred face said.

Li Qiye couldn’t help but laugh and said calmly: “No matter how good the past was, do you have it now? That was in the past, not in the present or in the future. Are you staying in the past or in the present?”

“I am dead and stay in the present.” The blurred face said.

“So, no matter how good the past was, what does it have to do with you now?” Li Qiye said slowly: “Everything in the past no longer exists, but don’t forget that your best thing is not the past.”

“It’s the heart of Tao.” Finally, the blurred face said softly: “The most beautiful thing now is the heart of Tao.”

“So, do you want to stick to your heart of Tao, or stick to seeking a life that is not the past? A life worse than death. Even if you get this life, and your past is dead, then, are you living or dead?” Li Qiye said seriously, looking at the blurry scene in front of him.

“Dead—” After a long while, the blurred face sighed softly and said, “I am dead, and the past is dead too.”

“So, this is what you call survival?” Li Qiye said slowly, looking at the blurred face.

The blurred face could not help but remain silent. After a long while, he could not help but ask softly, “Is there a way to achieve both?”

“The method to achieve both?” Li Qiye laughed and said, “What kind of method to achieve both? To keep the beauty in oneself, but not to stop, and to keep moving forward? Along the way, I have come across so many beautiful things, but have I stopped? No, if there is a method to achieve both, can I not stop? But, no, I can only keep moving forward. No matter how beautiful things are, I cannot stop, otherwise, my Tao heart would have been shaken.”
