I Am The Lord

 "Why? Why?" Ye Mo roared at the sky. "Have I endured everything, worked this hard for this?"

From the moment he had heard about the league war, it had become his obsession. To win the Cosmos Qi, to refine the Cosmos Energy Gathering Diagram, to prove himself to Qi Ying.

All his work, everything he'd done, was now meaningless. The champion of the competition had been decided in advance. If he defeated Cao Zheng, he might end up being killed instead.

"Brother Ye Mo, just do it!" Ling'er came out of Ye Mo's Energy Center and hugged Ye Mo.

Ye Mo felt like an injured child, who needed someone to comfort him.

"Do it? You think I should stick to my goal and defeat Cao Zheng?" Ye Mo asked Ling'er hesitantly.

"Yes. You should," Ling'er said. "Both the princess and Qi Ying have good intentions, but you've come so far, you have no way back. If you stop fighting you'll never forgive yourself. Even your future cultivation might be obstructed by regret."
