Chapter 1027: Youre The Weakest
Ding Hao’s gaze fell upon Li Xiaofei. Just like Sun Fei and the others before him, he gently patted Li Xiaofei on the shoulder. He seemed as though he wanted to say something, but in the end, it turned into a faint sigh.
“You’ve endured much,” he said quietly.
Ding Hao had never imagined that one day, the fate of humanity, his own, as well as that of the other four Emperors, would rest upon someone else’s shoulders. Nor had he ever thought that Li Xiaofei would choose such a path to ascend as an Emperor.
A broad heart can endure what the world cannot accept. A smiling face can laugh at what the world dares not face.
The one who had once brilliantly dazzled the world had now stepped onto the peak in a resolute, unwavering manner, yet it was also a road that led to an ending. If today’s battle truly shattered fate and transcended all limits, how many would truly understand the price Li Xiaofei had paid?
Li Xiaofei smiled in reply. “It was not hard.”
In truth, he had already known what his choice would bring from the very moment he achieved the Dao. The road to becoming an Emperor was beautiful but it was also perilous. Yet the most dangerous moment was not the journey itself, but the very instant one chose which direction to take.
Li Xiaofei had ascended to Emperorship by condensing the collective faith of humanity. It was a natural progression, but it was not the only path. To be an Emperor meant transcending. One was meant to stand above all things from the very moment he achieved the Dao.
But the path Li Xiaofei chose had bound his fate irrevocably to the rise and fall of the human race. Their flourishing would be his, but their ruin also his ruin. If humanity were to ever decline or perish, then he too would fall, body and Dao both annihilated.
His path to becoming an Emperor was dazzling, but that brilliance might, in the blink of an eye, descend into a long and endless night. After meeting with the various Human Emperors, Li Xiaofei had already come to understand everything through their words and expressions. The Emperors admired him, but at the same time, they couldn’t help but feel a sense of regret.
