“God or demon, they are not us mortals. We are not a race, so how can we get along?”Noyce said indifferently, “I will appreciate the flowers in the garden and take care of them carefully. To these flowers, I am a God! “But you will not appreciate them. You will even break branches or trample on them because they are in the way. That is why you are a demon
“But when it comes to the black snow season, when the weather is cold and the land is freezing, and when everything Withers, I’ll bury them into the ground and turn them into fertilizer for the next year. I Won’t build a greenhouse especially for them, because they’re just ornamental objects after all. When the next year’s flowers are brilliant, I’ll still be their God
“We don’t really care about these playthings, but these playthings naively define us as gods and detestable demons. They don’t know that we’re the same race and we’re the same family. What kind of playthings do they think they are? How dare they judge us?”
Karch was startled, and could not help but reassess him, saying seriously, “You are the one who sees things the most clearly in this aspect.”
“After all, I was once the person who followed His Majesty the longest. His Majesty had expressed the same meaning in those words a long time ago, just like the church of Sylvia. Light and darkness, the world views them as opposites, but they do not know that they are one. Poor people are mostly fools.”Noyce sighed softly, there was a hint of bitterness at the corner of his mouth. Even though he knew these principles, it was difficult for him to escape them. After all, he was still a “Fool”.
Sergei sighed, he said, “That’s true. The thing I admire most about his majesty is that he has no one to rely on. He worked hard all by himself, but he managed to climb to his current position! “All the nobles and dukes in the dynasty all think that His Majesty is a ruthless devil. But look at these commoners who live at the bottom. They love this era so much. Everyone can step out of the giant wall and live freely
“Perhaps others will think that his Majesty massacred the innocent and was cruel and brutal. This is indeed undeniable, but how many people have improved their lives because of his majesty? “When the Aragami invaded, who saved the earth? “When the Aragami and the demonic insects enslaved, who broke this situation? “Although His Majesty did not consider himself a savior, he did what a savior should do.”
“However, the people’s definition of a savior is too high and too flawless. They think that a savior is a hero and all actions are absolutely just. Little did they know that how can absolute justice split apart this dark world? “No matter how sharp the light is, how can it completely dispel the darkness? “Even if the sun is as dazzling as it is, it can not shine on the back of the Earth. That place still has to endure the fear of the night.”
Noyce nodded silently, he said, “Darkness can not be dispelled, just like light can not be extinguished. There will always be heroes born. However, these heroes are only the embellishment of this world. They are starlight. and the entire vast universe is ultimately darkness. Although starlight is brilliant, darkness is eternal. Those who desire peace in the world are just childish children. Mature people only desire relative and superficial peace, because that is already very rare!”
Sergei sighed, “It’s a pity that all the killings and sins were borne by his majesty, but no one will remember his kindness. Perhaps only the ordinary people will be grateful, but their gratitude is too weak and powerless.”
“His Majesty doesn’t care whether he is grateful or not. The gratitude of the whole world and the hatred of the whole world may be no different to him.”Noyce shook his head, “Just like what he is pursuing and caring about, not many people will care about it.”
Sergei wryly smiled, he said in a nostalgic tone: “I Really Hope His Majesty can go back to the time when he was in Sylvia. At that time, he was more or less human. He had emotions but now he is more like an ice-cold god.”
Neuss thought of the last conversation with Dudian when they left the imperial capital. The corner of his mouth slightly moved: “There are some things that can not be returned.”
“Yes, we can’t go back...”Sergei sighed.
Neuss looked into the distance, he said to himself: “Everyone will choose the ‘right’path. Everyone will grow and change themselves. They will change because of the environment. Their ideals and pursuits may change because they have to change and abandon them in order to adapt to the current living environment.”
“No one will think that they have gone wrong, and no one will think that all of their current ideas are bad. Even if they occasionally notice it, they will know it in the depths of their hearts. There is nothing they can do because this is what it means to survive and work hard to maintain
“When we change, it means that we have abandoned our previous selves and abandoned our previous ‘wrong’thoughts. Everyone knows that we should not keep walking on the wrong path, so we will keep looking for the ‘right’path. Unfortunately, we keep looking, but we never know what the right path is! “Saints can’t teach us this either. Saints can only teach us the same moral model, but the world is complicated. We can’t rely on the word ‘morality’to work. We can live long and go far!”
“So whether it’s right or not, we will only find one that suits us in the end.”
“If it suits us, it might be right.”
“If it’s right, then it won’t change anymore.”
Sergei was startled and looked at him deeply, he said, “No wonder you resigned ten years ago and came to this remote giant wall. At that time, we still couldn’t see through you. At that time, His Majesty had just ascended the throne and had countless riches and riches, but you abandoned all of them and lived in this remote and desolate place. Now, I’m the only one left among us who live in the imperial city. The others were blinded by greed. Some were forced into the whirlpool of battle and couldn’t extricate themselves. In the end, they could only end up like this. You chose the right path, and it suits you the most.”
“There is no right path.”Noyce glanced at the two children on the sand in the distance, and a hint of doting flashed through his eyes, he said, “Even I feel that the current days are too comfortable, and I feel a little uneasy. The Flames of war in the imperial capital have not even affected this place, but in the future, it will be difficult for this place to escape. I just hope that that day will come a little later.”
Ka Qi was startled, he said, “It can’t be, could it be that his majesty will vent his anger on us? With His Majesty’s methods, it should be very easy to find out our background. We are all clean. Moreover, after this incident’s Warning Bell, his majesty should not allow such a thing to happen again.”
“His Majesty will naturally not blame us, but others may not.”Noyce glanced at him, “We are all the people closest to his majesty. I don’t know how many people are eyeing our positions, hoping to replace them and become his majesty’s confidants. Since we can’t topple His Majesty, toppling US and subjugating his majesty, being above tens of thousands of people can be considered the greatest pursuit.”
“The power struggle will sooner or later seep into this place. Perhaps it has already begun to seep in, but we haven’t noticed it yet.”
Kache’s expression changed slightly, and he said, “With our strength and status, even if they want to assassinate us, it’s unlikely, right?”
“Assassinating naturally has its difficulties, but others can use his majesty’s hands to kill us. For example, they can create some opportunities for his majesty to Alienate Us, make His Majesty suspicious, and then use some methods to make us misunderstood by his majesty. Isn’t that a chance?”Noyce smiled lightly, his expression did not seem to care, but the words he said were enough to make people shudder.
Karch was stunned and could not say anything for a moment.
He was not afraid of open knives and spears, but it was impossible to guard against the conspiracies hidden in the darkness!
“Is, is there no way for us?”Karch could not help but ask, placing his hope on Noyce.
Noyce shook his head slightly, “We don’t need to think of a way. His Majesty is a person. His Majesty is now on guard against what I have said, so he will naturally consider it. Instead, he will use us to lure the snake out of its hole. No matter who tries to sow discord between us and his majesty, he will become the person his Majesty wants to kill!”! “After this incident, it is absolutely impossible for us to betray his majesty. How Can His Majesty Not Understand This?”
Sergei was stunned for a moment, then he let out a long sigh and said unhappily, “I told you, His Majesty is Wise. You said it was so dangerous that it almost scared me!”
Noyce laughed lightly, but the corner of his mouth was a little bitter, he said, “His Majesty is naturally wise. Looking at all the countries in the world, even the first emperor of the ancient Huaxia Dynasty, who was known as the first emperor of all time, is not as good as Our Majesty when it comes to great achievements! “Even if we give the first emperor a map of the world and let him unify the whole world, he would still be the emperor of mankind. He could only call himself the son of Heaven!”
“What is the son of Heaven?”
“The son of heaven! That’s why the Emperor ascended the throne to worship heaven!”
“And Our Majesty not only unified the whole world and all the systems, but also solved the external problems of mankind, expelled the monsters, and repelled the alien invaders such as the Aragami and the demonic insects. Just these achievements alone are far beyond the scope of the emperor and the emperor. Moreover, your Majesty has evolved to be close to a god. The strength of your body brings about the strength of your mind!”
“His Majesty no longer belongs to the emperor, but to God.”
“If the ancient Emperor was the son of Heaven, our Emperor would be the heaven!”
“Heaven?”
Sergei was stunned, he said, “That’s true. His Majesty is close to God, which is indeed not comparable to an ordinary emperor. In this way, we don’t have to worry too much. If any danger happens, His Majesty will take every precaution and solve it early.”
The smile on Noyce’s face slowly disappeared, and he said indifferently, “Although heaven is more noble than the son of heaven, what is ‘heaven’?”
“HMM?”Kache was puzzled and did not understand.
“Heaven Is Justice.”Noyce stared at him, he said, “No matter whether you are beautiful or ugly, noble or cheap, you can not escape death! Whether it is a wasteland or a swamp, or a flourishing city, when the rainy season comes, it will be drenched! “The heavens will not favor you because of your prayers, nor will they punish you with lightning because of your vicious curses!”
“The heavens are high above, above the clouds.”
“Looking down on all living things, they will not be moved by their joy, nor will they favor them because of their misery!”
“When the drought is over, they will not rain on you because you are pitiful! When the rain is overflowing, it will not stop because your home is destroyed!”
“What the heavens follow are the rules of the heavens. The emotions of the human world have no effect on it.”
“If you begged for it to appear, it would only be a coincidental encounter. After all, the world is suffering. There are more than ten million people begging for it. There will always be a blind cat running into a dead mouse.”
“This is the heavens.”
Sergei was stunned. After a long time, he finally reacted. His expression became a little ugly as he said, “Do you mean that his majesty will become like the heavens, cold and heartless?”
Noyce did not answer him directly. Instead, he smiled lightly, “No matter what, His Majesty will always have his Majesty’s considerations. We only need to abide by His Majesty’s rules. Don’t think too much. No matter what, at least for now, we are at peace. The future is too far away. To seek for eternal peace is itself an extremely cruel war! Isn’t using war to seek for peace the most laughable thing in the world?”
