What he said is actually half true and half false.
Honestly, even for the sake of his own reputation, Li Ye would definitely help restore the world's primordial qi. Otherwise, if he just left with everyone like that, he would be laughed at.
Not being able to manage his own territory would be talked about for the next millennium.
But the leader didn't know this.
The information he received was that Li Ye, as the inheritor of Jianmu of this generation, truly didn't lack small worlds, so he was genuinely worried—what if?
Li Ye could act as he pleased, but he couldn't gamble on this thread of vitality.
So.
He admitted defeat.
He immediately knelt before Li Ye, completely disregarding his status as the leader of a world-class project, and begged:
"As long as you're willing to spare me, I'll tell you a secret!"
"Back then, when the Four Seasons Sect cultivator drew the Hell Path, she has another avatar in our Gnostic School. Don't you want to save your ancestor!"
