Chapter 128: Illusion, Desire And Ambition

Qi Bei opened his eyes and found himself lying on a luxurious bed. Though his thoughts remained hazy, a glimmer of azure flickered in his gaze.

A sense of confusion swept over Qi Beis heart, as if a memory had been forcefully erased, leaving an empty void within.

But then, familiar yet unfamiliar memories flashed in his mind. It seemed like they were not his own memories, but they were so real.

Qi Bei, fifth son of the Nord family of the former Golden Leaf Empire, survived in the Undead Mountain Range for ten months before being rescued by his brother Huaian. He then regained his strength and was given the land of West Spirit City.

With great determination, he fought and defeated the Orcs in five campaigns and conquered the Golden Leaf Empire in ten campaigns, bringing glory to the Nord family. He became the first Emperor of the Heavenly Empire.

Later, Qi Bei conquered the Goths and merged with the Saint Yana Alliance, and established the largest empire in history.

Over a hundred years later, Qi Beis strength broke through the Saint level and he intimidated the five Holy Lands with his military might, becoming the lord of the five Holy Lands.

He was exceptional in both civil and military affairs, but he was cruel and ruthless in his pursuit of power.

He had changed over time.

Once, when he ruled West Spirit City, he did so for the good of the people.

But a few years ago, to vent his personal grievances, he massacred hundreds of thousands of civilians in a city.

Once, he was grateful for his brother Huaians selfless brotherly love toward him.

But when attacking the Golden Leaf Empire, he stood by and watched as Huaian was killed by Emperor Han Mo, showing no emotion.

Once, he was willing to sacrifice his life for a woman he deeply loved.

However, now he casually summons and dismisses the women around him. As long as they possess exceptional Yin attributes, he violently seizes them without any concern for what lies within their hearts.

Once, he highly valued the trusted generals and guards who stood by his side in conquering the world. But now, he cannot bear to hear any opposing words. Anyone who dares to defy him is directly put to death.

As all these memories flashed through Qi Beis mind, a cold and cruel curve formed at the corner of his mouth.

With a turn of his head, Qi Bei saw a beautiful girl by his side, her smooth shoulders exposed, still adorned with teardrops even in her slumber. This girl seems to have been snatched by him just a few days ago. But he had too many women to remember their names.

Qi Bei sat up, startling the sleeping girl awake. She looked at him, her gaze filled with both fear and barely concealed hatred.

Hate me? Haha, I love it when women hate me. Qi Bei grabbed the girls delicate shoulders and forcefully pinched her tender and plump breasts, leaving behind bright red marks.

As the girl let out pitiful moans, an inexplicable sense of pleasure welled up in Qi Beis heart. He pushed her down and pressed his body against hers.

The girl bit her lip and closed her beautiful eyes, tears streaming down her face.

As Qi Beis lips brushed against the saltiness of the tears on the girls face, his malevolent and deranged gaze momentarily flickered with a hint of confusion.

A resilient thought was struggling in his heart.

The girl opened her eyes and looked at Qi Bei, who suddenly froze while lying on top of her.

In Qi Beis mind, a beautiful girl sitting in a wheelchair suddenly appeared. Her star-like sparkling eyes had once looked at him with tears in them.

Thank you, Lord! Thank you! Iron Head shouted loudly.

In the depths of the earth, in a huge swirling vortex of blue magma, an elderly man with a semi-illusory body was trapped in the center of the vortex. And on either side of him, the shadows of a golden dragon and a silver-purple phoenix were rapidly flickering.

Around them, there are already nine hundred and ninety nine dense blue light clusters floating, which are quite spectacular and gorgeous.

Not bad, kid. Your righteous heart is much stronger than those who have reached the Saint level. The shadow of the golden dragon laughed.

The strength of the heart compared to the strength of power is the true strength. The voice of the silver-purple phoenix shadow was clear and crisp, like that of a young girl.

I havent lost yet, and I wont. The old man in the center said confidently.

Lets wait and see. Im rooting for this kid. The golden dragon said.

Me too. The silver-purple phoenix also said.

The old mans eyes were filled with a cold, eerie blue light. How can human emotions and human hearts resist lust, desire and ambition?

Human nature is despicable, and without the restraint of a moral standard, humans are worse than beasts. Greed, killing, brutality, cowardice, anger, and all the negative factors in the world fill the hearts of humans.

The seeds of ambition can completely stimulate these negative emotions and control a person.

And even if this kid seems to be struggling, he will eventually become addicted again. To take a step back, even if he gradually wakes up, can he let go of his extremely prestigious status, power, and gorgeous women?

Or, he may think he has escaped, but in reality, he can never let go of everything, and he will always be controlled by ambition and live in a world of illusions.

.

When the colorful mist began to spread from the heart of Dragon Phoenix Valley and slowly extended to the entire valley, it meant that the Dragon Phoenix illusions were about to begin.

The new disciples of the major forces who were training outside Dragon Phoenix Valley had already started to retreat. The elders had warned them repeatedly that if they didnt have the strength of a top-grade Earth-ranked expert, they would be trapped in the illusion and killed by it. Even top-grade Earth-ranked experts only dared to stay at the edge and didnt dare to go deep into it.

At first, the eight disciples of Heavenly Mountain Peak gathered together to train, but later they scattered.

One female disciple, a King-grade fire mage, held a bewitching magic flute given to her by Yao Rao. When she played it, she could guide the Heavenly Mountain Peak disciples to gather together and find the right path to leave Dragon Phoenix Valley.

Dragon Phoenix Valley was very strange. If one was not extremely familiar with it or did not have this magic flute to lead the way, they could easily get lost and unknowingly wander into the deep areas.

Soon, the Heavenly Mountain Peak disciples gathered together, but Ming Yue was missing.

Where is Princess Ming Yue? Why hasnt she come yet? a male disciple who admired Ming Yue worriedly asked.

I dont know. Did she lose her sensing magic stone, or does she think she has the strength to stay in the Dragon Phoenix Visions? the female disciple who held the magic flute as the leader said discontentedly.

As the colorful mist rolled in and the ethereal melody began to affect their minds and souls, the female leader said, Were not waiting anymore. Lets go back and report to the eighteenth elder. Otherwise, well all die here because of her.

Surprisingly, none of the male disciples who admired Ming Yue expressed any objections in the face of their life-threatening situation.

Thus, seven Heavenly Mountain Peak disciples withdrew, leaving only Ming Yue alone in the illusions shrouded Dragon Phoenix Valley.

Cowardice and selfishness are also prominent characteristics of human nature.
