Chapter 4160: An Old Friend

The gentle breezes seemed to be the only natural order at work in this dimension.

“Youre here.” A feeble voice greeted Li Qiye.

The speaker must have one foot in the grave.

“Indeed.” Li Qiye continued to relax in his chair.

A decrepit old man rested on the other chair.

One could mistake him for a corpse if he didnt speak earlier.

He didnt open his mouth; the words seemed to be traveling with the winds like the whispers of a spirit.

“Death draws near for me.” His voice didnt only permeate the ears but also the very soul of listeners.

“Youll live for three to five more epochs.” Li Qiye replied softly.

Nonetheless, he seemed to have made a decision for this old man.

“My strength is sapped, there is no difference between life and death now.” The old man smiled wryly.

“People say that living a borrowed life is still better than a good death.” Li Qiye responded.

“Im not one of them, living a borrowed life is meaningless.” To which the old man responded.

“I cant argue with that.” Li Qiye said: “A true dragon will have the pride of a true dragon, not sharing the weak characteristics of insects.

However, a shallow pond cannot hold a true dragon nor is it the right place to rest.”

“Dont be so sentimental now, its just death, and not my first time either.” The old man laughed heartily.

His laughter was as bright and warm as the sunlight, completely untethered and all-reaching.

“Youre more open-minded than me in this regard.” Li Qiye said.

“Its about time for me after the myriad ages.” He smiled:” I dont need descendants to come see my old bones or remember me.”

“They have their own path.” Li Qiye smiled: “If theyre capable, theyll prosper.

If theyre worthless, then no need to worry about them.”

“I dont worry because of that one place of yours.

I already told them to leave.

As for me, I dont mind this broken place.” He said.

“Thats fine.

Leave the long journey to me then, its still the same as before, only a different person is doing the walking.” Li Qiye said.

“It is time for you to embark.” The old man said.

Li Qiye didnt answer and turned his sight towards the sky vault.

There seemed to be a path leading deeper up above with no end in sight, not even after a journey lasting a billion years.

“Feeling old” The old man smiled.

“So many geezers are still alive, its too early to call me old.

Im only eighteen compared to them.” Li Qiye chuckled.

“Maybe I should die earlier then so you can stop refusing to recognize your age.” The old man didnt seem to think much of death.

“Its hard to say, maybe after enough years, geezers like you might regain your passion.” Li Qiye said.

“Hmm…” The old man became sentimental and recalled his past.

It started with learning martial arts and repeating strikes, then came performing heroic deeds…

“Its nice to be alive.” He added: “But death isnt that bad either.

My bones might be worth a few coins, just enough to nourish this land.”

“True.

When I die, my corpse will probably poison everything instead.” Li Qiye added.

“Thats possible.” The old man laughed: “Im sure you will go down in infamy.

The death gods will stomp your face upon meeting you since you are the butcher, the crow that brings nothing but disasters.”

“Thats okay, the world can think as they please.” Li Qiye chuckled.

“Dont worry, it doesnt matter how hated you are, youll stay alive, Dark Crow.” The old man said.

Li Qiye paused for a bit before speaking hushedly: “Maybe youre right, death is better than living sometimes.”

“Thats for others to say, not you.

You cannot die since youll need to cause trouble for ages to come.” The old man said seriously.

“Yes, the world needs a scourge like me or itll be too boring and peaceful.

Peace brings prosperity and fat sheep, some will salivate then.”

“Theyll reveal their fangs in due time.” The old man said.

“Ive been waiting for a very long time now.

Its quite problematic that theyre so patient.” Li Qiye said.

“There might be someone else just like you, waiting for that exact moment.” The old man said.

The breeze suddenly stopped and the atmosphere became serious.

“Yes, beasts like to eat sheep but there are monsters that feast on beasts.” Li Qiye nodded.

“The monsters might not always be so lucky either.” The old man added.

Li Qiye rubbed his cheek and said: “Sounds like youre jinxing me and carving the word “monster” on my face.

I need to take a look in the mirror first.”

“Well, maybe youll be the lucky one.” The old man smiled.

“Hard to say, only the ultimate winner can smile in the end.” Li Qiye said.

“The villainous heaven.” The old man suddenly opened his eyes wide, becoming emotional.

They were empty yet still contained a boundless universe.

There was a barely discernible spark there that could illuminate the cosmos and give birth to countless lives.

“If that day ever comes, I suppose dying to the villainous heaven isnt too bad.

Its a wish-comes-true for many, just making it that far.” Li Qiye reflected.

“Once again, you will have to be the exception.” The old man reminded.

“Yes, others can, not I… not I.” Li Qiye sighed and agreed: “Its not easy to die nowadays, or at least a death that is a little acceptable.

No one has it as rough as me.”

“You picked your path, now you have to walk or crawl until you reach the end.” The old man said.

“Im visiting to get useful stuff, not for you to verbally stab me.” Li Qiye chuckled.

“Its fine, I cant stab for too long since Im about to die soon.” The old man

“I still think its too early to say that.

A turtle can live for a long time and your lifespan is even better than a turtles.” Li Qiye joked.

The old man chuckled before putting on a somber expression: “I lost.”

These two simple words weighed heavily like countless mountains.

“Not surprising, youre old and not as strong as before.” Li Qiye responded.

“No, I have no excuse, its a loss.

I probably would have lost during my prime too.

He is strong, really strong.” The old man sighed.

“I know, the strongest.” Li Qiye nodded.

“Im afraid youll have to fight him first before getting to the villainous heaven.

How is your preparation” The old man asked.

“Perhaps the villainous heaven wont give us the chance.” Li Qiye said.

“Its more likely that he wont give you the chance.

I still think its best for you to fight him or the consequences will be grave.” The old man suggested.

“What is your opinion on him” Li Qiye asked.

The old man thought about it carefully before replying: “I dont trust him.”
