Li Yi's gaze was sincere. This was how he asked, and how he truly felt.
The position of Heavenly Emperor was not all that important to him.
Moreover, what He had offered was the title of Great Xia's Heavenly Emperor on Blue Star, which was entirely different from the present Great Xia Theocracy.
This position meant little to the Spirit Realm, but to those born in Great Xia, it held a special meaning.
Huo Ling could not help laughing when he heard Li Yi's words.
He said, "Your Majesty, you should keep this position of Heavenly Emperor for yourself. Other than you, who could sit in that position? Who would be suited for it?"
Li Yi said, "You are powerful. You are suited to sit in that position!"
Huo Ling refused once more. "But I cannot do what Your Majesty has done. My contributions to Great Xia are also far inferior to Yours!"
"Your Majesty, say no more!"
Seeing Huo Ling's resolve, Li Yi no longer tried to persuade him.
Li Yi turned to Blue Star and said, "It has been nearly a thousand years since the beginning of the supernatural era."
"Time has passed... truly quickly!"
"Yes." Huo Ling nodded as well.
He reminisced, then said, "Several centuries passed in the blink of an eye. It feels as though only a moment ago, I was still at school in Stone Creek. If I had not awakened my spirit, perhaps I would have lived out my life in mediocrity like the countless masses."
"Of course, there is nothing wrong with living an ordinary life, but my current strength allows me to better realize my ambitions."
Li Yi silently watched Blue Star before saying, "Enough of this. Let us begin today's real business!"
Huo Ling silently nodded as well.
