Emperor's Domination (Web Novel)
chapter-6143

“Grandpa, you’re Hidden Ancestor?” After a lull, Chu Zhu regained her wits and asked the old man.

“No, I am just a guide.” The woodcutter shook his head.

She was indeed guided by him in the past and was able to create her grand dao.

“Then who is Hidden Ancestor?” Endlaw asked.

He glanced at Li Qiye and said: “Hidden Ancestor can be someone, or nothing, but more often than not, a symbol.”

“A symbol? For Life and Death Heaven?” Disaster asked.

“Close enough, but it doesn’t stop there. The rebuilding comes from the three immortals’ foundation and resources, we are mere guides.”

“So that’s the case.” The group understood why they could compete with Immortal Suppression.

They had backers including Life and Death Heaven along with the three immortals. Although the latter was not around, their resources must be unimaginable.

“To fight against Immortal Suppression and Zhan Sansheng.” Six-style said softly.

“Why are you here?” Li Qiye asked the woodcutter.

“Young Noble, I shouldn’t be here due to my incapability, but it has been empty for a while.” He said.

“What happened?” Li Qiye frowned.

“This started with Gao Yang’s flame. Emperor Zheng couldn’t do it, Jin Guang became crazy. Since there was no other candidate, I had to temporarily fill this role.” He elaborated.

“I’ve heard about Gao Yang passing down the overlord flame before.” Chu Zhu said.

“Yes, only the qualified ones can handle it.” He said.

“Emperor Zheng failed the oblivion process?” Li Qiye asked.

“Yes, Emperor Zheng should have taken this spot since he started Enigma Dynasty with everyone’s help.” He paused for a moment before continuing: “Unfortunately, he failed and the next candidate was Jin Guang who ended up going crazy and disappearing.”

The emperors finally learned the origin of their dynasty after hearing this story.

“Might not all be bad. Your arrival is an opportunity for Life and Death Heaven.” Li Qiye said.

“Unfortunately, I am too weak so I didn’t want to let others down by acting recklessly.” He bowed and smiled wryly.

“Just being a guide is enough.” Li Qiye said and raised his arm, recalling Enigma Loops: “As you know, this has more uses than just representing Hidden Ancestor.”

“I only know this was left behind by Gao Yang’s group after an agreement, nothing more.” He shook his head.

“The grotto is a key point.” Li Qiye said.

“If that’s the case, then you are Hidden Ancestor, Young Noble.” The man said.

Others exchanged glances again. They thought Hidden Ancestor was only a symbolic figure of their dynasty, why did this man have the same mistaken belief?

“Having the loops doesn’t mean anything, it’s more about waiting for someone.” Li Qiye said.

“This is part of Gao Yang and Zither Empress’ plan.” The man said.

“Right, the awaited Hidden Ancestor.” Li Qiye said.

The group only became more confused while listening.

“But the grotto is real, right?” Chu Zhu asked.

“It is, but it won’t be like what you’re thinking. Moreover, just the loops aren’t enough for entry.” The man said.

“What are the other requirements?” Dragonform asked.

“The awaited one or someone strong enough.” The man said.

“Which is why I’m visiting to end this.” Li Qiye said.

“Allow me to lead the way, Young Noble.” The man bowed.

Li Qiye jumped on the boat and the group did the same. The woodcutter roared and the boat traveled with lightning speed.

In one second, the scenery shifted from a boundless ocean to a sky filled with stars. Just a moment later, it became an ocean again.

The boat performed numerous spatial leaps before stopping on an island with a cliff to the front. It looked like an arched door leading to a private beach surrounded by mountains.

“Here.” The old man stopped the boat.

“This is Enigma Grotto?” Chu Zhu closed her eyes to sense the power here.

The weaker emperors looked around and didn’t notice anything in particular.

“This is the entrance, Young Noble. I’ve never been inside so I don’t know the situation.” The man told Li Qiye.

Li Qiye smiled and used the loops. They linked together to form a circle, gathering all the sunlight. It illuminated the arched door and created an illusory gate. Water also surged upward, filling up the outline made of light and creating a water gate.

“Creak!” The two gates combined and the timeworn seal finally opened.

“There we go.” The man murmured after seeing the finished gate.
