Chapter 1173 “Dominating Emperor”
Linjiang City.
The Night Watchmen’s station.
Bai Li Pangpang, Cao Yuan, and others looked through the one-way glass at the young man sitting silently in the interrogation room, their expressions filled with shock:
“It’s him? Seven Nights, are you sure about this?”
“There’s no mistake, I’ve already fought with him,” Lin Qiye shook his head and said, “His ability is extremely troublesome. He can not only control ‘Mysteries’ but also weather phenomena, metals, and even the human body.”
“There’s an ability like that? I’ve never heard of it before.”
“I haven’t heard of it either… but on the way back, I already reported this to headquarters, so we should get results soon.”
Lin Qiye checked the time, then turned to Bai Li Pangpang and said:
“By the way, go to the entrance later to meet Director Liu.”
“Director Liu?” Bai Li Pangpang was stunned, then seemed to realize something and lowered his voice, “Seven Nights, you didn’t tell Director Liu about what this kid did, did you?”
“…No.”
Lin Qiye glanced at Wu Quan, who sat with his head down in the interrogation room. “The kid said he wanted to see Director Liu before leaving. Take him out of the interrogation room, find a teahouse, and let them talk for a while.”
“Alright.”
Just as Bai Li Pangpang was about to release Wu Quan, the phone rang, and Lin Qiye quickly answered:
“Commander Zuo.”
“Mm.” On the other end of the phone, Zuo Qing’s voice was solemn. “Lin Qiye, I’ve looked at all the materials you sent me… This time, we’ve found quite an extraordinary child.”
Lin Qiye was stunned. “What?”
“According to your description, the only ability that matches this child’s is… the Fourth King Ruins, [Emperor of Dominion].”
“King Ruins?” Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed, and he spoke with surprise, “No wonder it was so difficult to deal with…”
“This King Ruins is no small matter,” Zuo Qing said seriously. “Do you know who was recorded in history as the last person to possess this ability?”
“Who?”
“The predecessor of the Great Xia Night Watchmen, the first Chief of the Demon Suppression Bureau, the first top-tier expert, Champion Marquis Huo Qubing.”
Lin Qiye’s mouth fell open in shock.
“[Emperor of Dominion] possesses the ability to control all tangible matter, including but not limited to human bodies, animals, fire, water… The emotions of [Emperor of Dominion] can directly affect weather phenomena – lightning and thunder when angry, pouring rain when sad, clear and sunny when at ease, and so on.
Moreover, its control over ‘Mysteries’ far exceeds its control over other substances, meaning [Emperor of Dominion] has an innate suppressive effect on all ‘Mysteries’.
Theoretically, as long as the possessor’s mental strength is powerful enough, it can achieve ‘unlimited dominion’ over ‘Mysteries’.
Back then, General Huo Qubing established the Demon Suppression Bureau with this ability, personally imprisoning thousands of ‘Mysteries’. It is said that his grand aspiration was to dominate all ‘Mysteries’ within Great Xia’s borders, thus achieving peace throughout the land with no more evil spirits.”
“Dominate all ‘Mysteries’ in Great Xia? That powerful?” Lin Qiye exclaimed in shock.
If this could truly be achieved, it would mean Great Xia would never again be troubled by ‘Mysteries’ – this was incredibly important for humanity.
From this perspective alone, the importance of [Emperor of Dominion] to humans might even surpass the Third King Ruins [Immortality] and the Second King Ruins [Buddha of Destiny].
“Of course, I’m only describing the ideal situation. The fact is, even humanity’s first top-tier expert couldn’t achieve this, which indicates that [Emperor of Dominion] also has its limits… at least for humans.” Zuo Qing paused for a moment before continuing,
“Moreover, this King Ruins has many drawbacks… the most significant being an extremely short lifespan.”
Lin Qiye was stunned. “What do you mean? A short life?”
“You could say that. Do you know how old the Champion Marquis was when he passed away?” Without waiting for Lin Qiye to answer, Zuo Qing continued: “Twenty-four years old… and that was under the condition that he had become the first top-tier expert and touched the threshold of godhood.
The cause of the Champion Marquis’s death has always been one of history’s greatest mysteries. Only a very few people know that he died because the King Ruins’ inherent drawbacks caused his lifespan to reach its limit.
According to our estimates, their lifespan is like a miniature version of a normal person’s – one year for them is approximately equivalent to four years for an ordinary person.
If they don’t reach the level of humanity’s top-tier experts, possessors of the Fourth King Ruins can only live to eighteen to twenty years old.
But because of this, possessors of the Fourth King Ruins progress extremely quickly! It’s said that the Champion Marquis only took three years from awakening [Emperor of Dominion] to becoming humanity’s top-tier expert.”
Lin Qiye turned his head to look at Wu Quan, who was leaving the interrogation room, with understanding in his eyes.
No wonder Wu Quan, at only fourteen or fifteen years old, could possess “Klein”-level mental power and even fight toe-to-toe with him… but this also means this child only has three or four years of life left?
“The second drawback of [Emperor of Dominion] is that regardless of how much their mental strength grows, the possessor’s physical attributes will not improve. Even if they reach the level of humanity’s top-tier experts, they’re still ordinary people who can be killed by a single bullet,” Zuo Qing slowly explained.
“They can dominate everything in the world, but they themselves are extremely fragile. Unless, like the Champion Marquis of that year, they train and forge their physical body to human limits through battle, this will always be a fatal flaw.”
“The final drawback is the range of dominion.”
“[Emperor of Dominion] can only control objects within three kilometers of themselves. Even at the level of humanity’s top-tier experts, they can only control a range not exceeding five kilometers. This means that in battle, the inherently fragile [Emperor of Dominion] must always be near the center of the battle, making them easy targets for decapitation.”
After hearing about these three major drawbacks, Lin Qiye let out a long sigh.
Looking at it this way, although the ability of [Emperor of Dominion] was abnormal, it had too many flaws. No wonder it was only ranked as the Fourth King Ruins.
However, from the perspective of “unlimited dominion,” it was definitely the most important King Ruins for humanity.
“So how should we handle this child?” Lin Qiye asked.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone:
“Handle it as you normally would. Although he possesses [Emperor of Dominion], his character is too extreme, and he has massacred civilians… If this issue with his mentality can’t be resolved, he might not only fail to become an asset to humanity but could become a disaster instead.
Send him to the Fasting House and let Li Yangguang discipline him.”
Li Yangguang?
Hearing this name, Lin Qiye was first stunned, then the image of Dr. Li from the Sunshine Psychiatric Hospital appeared in his mind.
