Emperor’s Domination

“Dao Lord, will you eat them before leaving?” Zhitian couldn’t help but ask.

“I understand what you’re saying but it actually makes zero difference.
What I do will be dependent on my whim at the time.
Eating them might seem cruel to you but they will go extinct without me anyway.” Peacock smiled.

“It’s best to not be so extreme.” Li Qiye said.

“I will try to follow your advice, Sir.” Peacock lowered his head.

The group chatted for a bit and ignored the matter of Heaven’s Allure.
After all, too many powerful cultivators have visited and they had no good guess.

As the group was about to leave, Peacock decided to send them off for quite a distance.
After they were gone, he still bowed in the direction of Li Qiye.

Along the way, Li Qiye glanced at Li Zhitian and asked: “Still thinking about the tigers?”

“My apologies, Young Noble.
It seems like my emotion is getting the best of me, how embarrassing.” Zhitian let out a dry chuckle.

“It’s not your fault but in a way, Peacock is right.
Nonetheless, there is no problem with you being a passionate youth.” Li Qiye smiled.

“After thinking it through, Peacock Dao Lord is not at fault.
We all do similar things with alchemy materials, cultivating before consuming them.” Zhitian said.

“Because of your first impression of Evil Reborn, you felt pity for the tigers after seeing them in the lair and felt uncomfortable to see them eaten.” Li Qiye said.

“I’m aware that it’s hypocritical and I shouldn’t be so judgmental.” Zhitian said.

“People have different interpretations of the ways of the world.” Li Qiye said before pausing a bit: “But, remember this, the world’s inhabitants should protect themselves because there are no saviors.
Those who claim to be are often the initiators of disasters, this had occurred numerous times in history.” 

“Saviors or destroyers…” Zhitian murmured.

Li Qiye stared at him with a meaningful gaze and asked: “Do you think Celestial Court is protecting The Race? Was Peacock Dao Lord protecting the tigers?”

Zhitian stopped walking.
He had never questioned Celestial Court’s intent in the past.
However, spending time with Li Qiye and personally experiencing certain events changed his perception.

His clan’s title was Imperial; its members have served Celestial Court since time antiquity.
The ideology of Celestial Court’s noble goals has been engrained in The Race.

Peacock Dao Lord also protected the tigers and built a lair for them to avoid extinction.
However, he also ate them, not to mention potentially wiping them out if he were to be bored in the future.
Would he be the tigers’ savior or destroyer?
