Chapter 5630: I Just Want To Be With You

A palace towered on Empress Star, surprisingly not made from precious metals and embellished with dazzling lines. Nonetheless, the simple palace still looked like the center of the world.

All living beings had no choice but to look up in its presence, feeling insignificant in the process.

Li Qiye pushed the door and entered while Demon Conqueror waited for him outside.

The interior decoration matched the external simplicity. Each brick and tile was ordinary at first glance but within them are the unique sounds of the grand dao.

With each step, he activated the unique dao embedded within them. The movement, force, and distance had to be just right for the runes to show up.

The runes gradually floated up in the air after appearing, creating a passageway up to the sky vault.

Once he got far enough, he saw a curtain draping downward, blocking everything ahead. However, due to his special path, he lifted the curtain without any resistance and entered.

This curtain was a tougher defense than the suppression of Empress Star. Nonetheless, Li Qiye seemed to be an exception.

He came in and saw a celestial expanse with eternal glimmers. Gazing at the twinkling stars made one unconsciously merge with it.

A woman stood proudly in the distance, looking matchless throughout the ages. She faced the starry expanse with her back to Li Qiye while being one with this dimension.

“Rumble!” A supreme throne emerged, flashing with an eternal light. It seemed to have been crafted with the temporal affinity. Time flowed on the surface, allowing whoever sitting on it to travel freely through time. This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.

Li Qiye sighed after seeing the figure then sat down on the throne, closing his eyes.

“I know what you’ve done but the price is not worth it. Going down this path makes you the same as everyone else. You may think that it is worth it but you don’t realize that I don’t want you to value me higher than yourself. Otherwise, this will become your inner demon, there is no overcoming this.” He said.

The figure finally turned around to take a look at Li Qiye.

“When you two gave this to me back then, although I didn’t agree, I still couldn’t destroy it. Wenxin is no longer around so here, I am giving it back to you. Make your choice on the next path.” He said earnestly.

She stared at the iron box, momentarily lost in thought. She had expended countless efforts to obtain it. Everything was within reach and they would surely succeed with his approval.

Alas, he ended up scolding her harshly - the first time he had ever berated her.

“Can we...” She finally spoke; her voice and words seemed to be for him alone. No one else in this world could hear her.

“I am still here, aren’t I? Everything needs time and patience. If we can achieve what we want after a single wave of the hand, then success is meaningless, our long path would have been meaningless as well.”

She listened attentively before reaching for the box. She exerted a supreme force and crushed the content into powder. The pieces dissipated into nothingness.

This was an ultimate item, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in the mortal world. She risked her life and didn’t regret it for a single second as long as she could deliver it to him.

“So, everything returns to the starting point for a new start.” He said: “There are no shortcuts toward the dao or you will fall into darkness eventually. The long road you’ve traveled would have resulted in nothing, akin to drawing water with a bamboo basket.”

“I just want to be with you.” She said softly yet nothing could shake her determination. She was not lying; fulfilling his desires was her life goal.

He sighed and said: “We can go as far as we want on this endless dao path, together. As long as you don’t stray from the path and lose your way.”

She stared at him and didn’t answer.

“Things will come as long as we exercise patience, it will just take time and endurance.” He added.
