Chapter 1022 - 1022 356 Effortlessly Dissolving

1022: Chapter 356: Effortlessly Dissolving 1022: Chapter 356: Effortlessly Dissolving The hardest step has been taken, and the rest will be much simpler.

In a corner of Mo Linyuan’s grand hall.

Li Ping’an, who had just completed the kinship recognition ceremony, was sitting behind a low table.

Having read those memories of Emperor Jun, Li Ping’an naturally knew how domineering the Ancient Heavenly Emperor acted; when Emperor Jun sat, others had to stand or kneel and were not allowed to sit with him.

But today, he took the initiative and greeted Mo Linyuan and Daoist Luya to sit together, and said slowly:

“The past is no more, never to return; the Heavenly Dao has changed, too formidable to challenge directly.”

Li Ping’an spoke slowly:

“Only the two of you are aware of the matter here; from today onwards, I am indeed this New Heavenly Emperor.

“Do you understand the meaning of this?”

“Understand, understand!” Mo Linyuan nodded hastily.

Daoist Luya’s eyes were filled with bitterness as he spoke softly, “Father, you… you have been wronged.”

“Sit down.

Being able to reach this day is already a great opportunity; there’s no need for such pretense.”

The Emperor Jun’s aura within Li Ping’an slowly retracted, and the Primordial Spirit within him sighed in relief.

Impersonating such a dominant character is all too easy to slip up; but it’s no problem if you logically circle around and pretend to be oneself afterward.

He went on to say: “In the end, it is the Human Race that has emerged as the protagonists of this world.

Despite my efforts to suppress it and my unwillingness to care about bearing infamy, I couldn’t overcome the schemes of the Heavenly Dao.

That Li Ping’an could become the Heavenly Emperor with so little ability is truly lamentable.”

Daoist Luya asked in a low voice, “Father, about Mother…”

Li Ping’an shook his head slowly and spoke briefly about the matter of the Heavenly Dao.

He put himself in Emperor Jun’s perspective, and his words were filled with sighs and emotions, none of them false.

A moment later, when Daoist Luya learned that the Heavenly Dao had completely assimilated Xihe’s remaining soul, he couldn’t help but burst into wails of grief.

As such a Great Power, one’s dao heart should be as steadfast as rock.

But Daoist Luya’s obsession was how to save his mother, and now that he heard his mother had no chance of resurrection, that even if she did come back she would just be a puppet of the Heavenly Dao without a shred of self, he was suddenly disheartened.

Li Ping’an frowned and said: “Don’t behave this way.”

“Yes,” Daoist Luya immediately stopped crying.

Li Ping’an looked at Mo Linyuan and spoke slowly, “Prepare some wine and water.”

“Aye!

Yes!”

Mo Linyuan turned and ran, clearly aware that the ‘father and son’ had things to discuss.

Daoist Luya proactively set up a barrier, and Li Ping’an closed his eyes, allowing his aura to completely ‘return’ to that of a Human Race Qi Cultivator.

Daoist Luya praised, “Father, you are indeed indistinguishable from that Li Ping’an.”

“I am Li Ping’an.”

Li Ping’an opened his eyes and looked at Daoist Luya.

“Yes,” Daoist Luya hurriedly nodded, “Father, you are indeed Li Ping’an.”

“Henceforth, you may consider Li Ping’an as my reincarnation,” Li Ping’an murmured, “and we need to devise a plan to deceive the Three Pure Ones…

they have all encountered the chance to become saints…”

Daoist Luya asked, “What can your son do for you?”

Li Ping’an shook his head slightly and spoke slowly: “I will merge with this New Heavenly Emperor as soon as possible.

From then on, all my actions will completely follow the standpoint of the Human Race.

You can’t hide things from the Heavenly Dao, but just because the Heavenly Dao knows doesn’t mean the Three Pure Ones are aware; you don’t need to worry about me.”

“Alas, it’s all because of your son’s incompetence…”

“You’ve done quite well,” Li Ping’an lightly diverted the topic.

Without specific knowledge of affairs, he tried not to delve into them too much.

He continued softly: “Tell me about the various forces here and the masters in this world.

Sit down first, all the old rules of the past also need to be changed.”

“Yes!

Your son obeys!”

Daoist Luya nodded eagerly, took a seat beside the low table, and began to narrate the current pattern of the world and the masters that had emerged after the downfall of the Heavenly Court.

Li Ping’an listened to Daoist Luya’s version of the Human Race’s rise, intermittently nodding and shaking his head.

When Daoist Luya spoke of the Calamity’s conspiracy with him for this ordeal, Li Ping’an’s dao heart also twitched.

The most absurd thing here is that the Calamity didn’t actually know what the Heavenly Dao was, nor did he know what would happen when he directed the incense offering to Emperor Jun;

Following the principle that no one should benefit from the Human Race’s Heavenly Court, the Calamity just did it!

This second disciple of the Western Sect really deserved to die.

After Li Ping’an listened for a long time in silence, he then let out a light sigh:

“My son, this Calamity once came to the Heavenly Court to pay respects when he was just a minor cultivator, attempting to act as a mediator to persuade me to accept the Western Sect as an arm of the Heavenly Court.

“Unexpectedly, to this day, he has become such a scourge.”

Daoist Luya was startled, and then hurriedly said, “Indeed, a scourge, from the perspective of the Human Race, he is unredeemable even if he is cut a thousand times over ten thousand times.”

“He can’t compete with the Heavenly Dao.”

Li Ping’an said: “Based on what you have just mentioned, the Chan Teaching is already upholding the Human Race, and ruling over Heaven and Earth is no longer a good land for you.”

“Father,” Daoist Luya immediately said, “the Western Sect controls the origin of incense offerings, and if your son retreats so abruptly, wouldn’t the Internal Heavenly Dao be directly defeated by the External Heavenly Dao?”

Li Ping’an asked: “What do you seek?

Have you attained it?”

Daoist Luya suddenly smiled.

He sighed: “Your son’s wishes have been fulfilled, truly seeking nothing more.

From now on, it is to assist father in establishing another golden age!”

“You have my gratitude.”

Li Ping’an’s thoughts flickered, hesitating whether to entice Daoist Luya with a promise.

A poorly made promise could backfire.

But wasn’t the purpose of impersonating Emperor Jun to drive away Luya and the Old Ministers of the Ancient Heavenly Court?

Li Ping’an spoke slowly: “The next golden age belongs to the Heavenly Dao and the Human Race, my son also needs to prepare early.

Do not attract the attention of the Human Race, I myself will carefully plot the matters here.

Once the New Heavenly Court is established, you will be disguised and integrated into the Heavenly Court, it’s also good for us, father and son, to reunite.”
