Chapter 392 - 274 Requirements
Li Yi’s words caused a stir at the banquet, as no one had expected that, with just a casual mention by Fan Wentian, the Master of the Fan Family, Li Yi would guess their true intentions. It seemed that Li Yi was not merely a Martial Artist addicted to Cultivation as they had previously thought; his intelligence was equally extraordinary.
Perhaps it was because of his personal strength that his intelligence had not been revealed before.
In fact, as an Evolver, although there might be differences in personality, when it comes to intellect, the brains of Evolvers are exceedingly functional.
After their motives were exposed, the crowd no longer hid their intentions and spoke openly.
Zhao Mingyue, an elder of the Zhao Family, said, "The world has long suffered from the ghost gods collecting lifespan, causing millions of commoners to die young. We, the great families, are controlled by the ghost gods and have no power to resist, because for a thousand years not one of us has produced a strong individual at the Dharma Manifestation Realm. To confront the ghost gods, only someone like Mr. Li, who comes from another realm, could have a chance. If Mr. Li is willing to resolve this matter, once the ghost gods are destroyed, our families are willing to recognize Mr. Li as our leader and jointly govern the world."
After finishing, he bowed with a fist and pledged earnestly.
They thought that talking about the wellbeing of the commoners, the state, and reputation would move Li Yi, but he simply chuckled lightly, "If I destroy the ghost gods, this world will still belong to you families. And concerning the commoners of the Four Seas and Eight Continents... without the ghost gods, would your family’s Yin Gods stop collecting lifespan? It’s merely a case of the Emperor’s seat rotating, this year it’s my family’s turn."
"As for the so-called joint ruler of the world, at best it’s just an empty title. How long can I stay in the Four Seas and Eight Continents? What use would I have for such an empty name?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Mingyue’s face showed a touch of embarrassment.
