    Chapter 211 Ignite the Withered Years (4)

    On this day, when the sun sank down the mountain, Lin Ge stood outside the house with a pale face.

    The blood in that place is completely the tragic situation after the high-level alien creatures ravaged. Her mind went blank, and when she realized it, she rushed into the room screaming.

    "Dawn!! - Dawn!!"

    The smell of blood in the room was actually heavier than outside, and Lin Ge choked, his voice trembling: "...Dawn!! Jiang, where are you—"

    Just when she had already imagined Jiang Jianming's 800 tragic ways of dying, and regretted her going out, her eyes suddenly stopped.

    The writing on the wall with stones: I took Ryan out, you deal with the outside, come back and explain.

    "..."

    The girl who was about to cry with fright stood for a moment, then turned to look at the dozens of corpses outside, the disgusting countless amputated limbs and organs.

    Take care of the outside...

    deal with those...

    Lin Ge's face changed several times, and finally settled into a very sad and angry expression.

    damn it! Jiang actually... actually ran out with that bastard little aristocrat, leaving her to move the corpse at home at a loss! ?

    ——After all, this is probably the beginning of countless grievances and grievances between the founding emperor and His Majesty the Queen in the future...and the source of countless stories written as "love, hate and hatred" and read as "favourite jokes".

    Eternal Paradise Star City.

    Smart suspension lights illuminate the road ahead. A mysterious man wearing a cloth robe and a small spar on his chest walked through a secret passage and came to a copper door with a simple shape.

    Following behind was a dignified young nobleman. He looked up at the door and reached out to touch it. It soon became clear that this was a high-end security device disguised as a vintage piece of art.

    "Is this the meeting place of your religion?"

    The mysterious man stroked his chest and lowered his head: "That's right, our Archbishop is inside. Please open the door."

    "By opening this door, I can find my dream...the way to make all my compatriots happy?"

    The young nobleman murmured in a low voice. After all, he put his hand on it as if he made up his mind.

    The tiny camera disguised as a beast pattern on the copper door completed the functions of iris collection, identification and unlocking within half a second, and the giant door opened to both sides with a creaking sound.

    The young prince of the old empire, Gerhard Lauren, just stepped into the secret stronghold of the Crystal Cult.

    Looking around, this is an open interior architectural space. The decoration style is similar to the church, but there is something weird everywhere. In the middle of a high place like a god platform, there are two figures, one tall and one short, and the bottom is full of people.

    The crystal sect who led Lauren here continued to lead the noble son behind him to separate the crowd, and they walked under the high platform.

    Lauren looked up and saw that the taller figure on the stage was a barefoot man in a white robe. His expression was calm, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, as if he was resting.

    The shorter figure belongs to a little girl who looks less than ten years old. With white hair and blue eyes, his appearance is extremely beautiful, but his limbs are twisted and full of crystal blocks, his expression is very stupid, and he has been staring at the white robe man.

    "That one is our archbishop."

    The crystal disciples beside him showed their piety, raised their arms and pointed to the white-robed man: "Your Excellency Gaius."

    "Who is the other?"

    "That deformed girl? That's a failed product produced by the Empire's Chaos Correction Program. It should have been disposed of. His Excellency the Archbishop happened to save her and raised her... Hehe, don't look at her appearance, in fact It's decades old."

    Growth retardation... intelligence doesn't seem to be normal either. What is the Empire's "Chaos Correction Plan"? never heard of...

    The more Lauren thought about it, the more shocked she felt. After waiting for a while, the man on the high platform suddenly opened his eyes, and the surrounding movements and whispers quickly decreased.

    "This is a routine mission," the Crystal Congregation said to Lauren.

    In a blink of an eye, the white-robed man walked forward.

    His eyes were deep and dull as he quietly swept across the crowd of people below, and then stopped on Lauren, who had a nervous expression on his face, and smiled slightly.

    "Today, are there any confused people here?"

    Gaius spoke with a gentle voice, but there was no emotional fluctuation between the words: "Speak your question, the brilliance of the crystal particles will guide the lost lamb."

    For some reason, Lauren's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily as this man watched.

    The noble man swallowed dryly and took two steps forward: "His Excellency the Archbishop of the Crystal Sect!"

    "I came here with doubts."

    Many of the crystal cultists present turned their heads.

    Lauren raised her chest and said solemnly: "I want to know when our country can get rid of this dark situation."

    "Looking back at the history of mankind, the strong bully the weak, the rich exploit the poor... This injustice has not changed since ancient times, and now it is extremely bad."

    "I have the heart to abandon my glorious and wealthy background and save my compatriots who are in trouble. I hope that everyone is equal and everyone is happy... But I have no ambition but no direction."

    "Even if you disperse your family wealth, you can only save thousands of people, but not hundreds of millions of people; even if you overthrow the Holy Human Empire, you can only disperse the tyranny in front of you at most, and it is impossible to maintain dozens or even hundreds of people in the future. Peace of the century!"

    "His Excellency Archbishop, I heard that your wisdom is unparalleled. You have been inspired by a higher alien civilization, and your eyes can see the truth of the universe."

    Lauren was excited, "Please guide the direction of paradise for the human race, this race that is struggling in the swamp!"

    Gaius stood on the high platform and listened to Lauren's generosity in silence.

    Afterwards, he frowned slightly, "My child, I already understand why you are here, but unfortunately the answer may disappoint you."

    "But the truth is always cold, so I'm going to tell you..."

    Under Lauren's nervous gaze, the archbishop whispered two words: "No."

    "No direction, no paradise."

    Lauren paled: "No!"

    Gaius shook his head: "Humans are a race born with fallacies, with the most tragic and ridiculous contradictory nature. The future you expect is just a mirage that can never be reached."

    "Because it goes against the fundamental laws of the universe, and of course, against humanity itself."

    The crystal congregation on all sides suddenly let out a fanatical cry, as if the archbishop had spoken to belittle his own species, but it was a pleasant gospel to them.

    The screaming sound made Lauren's brain buzz. He couldn't understand it and could only repeat: "The fundamental laws of the universe...?"

    "Why come out?"

    At the same time, the blue mother star Z2 wild area.

    When the sky darkened, the little monster, who had just caused a massacre, took the only crippled human being he was interested in in the world and walked in the barren deep winter wilderness.

    Jiang Jianming leaned on Ryan's back, closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "What do you think? ... If you don't run out, Lin Ge sees someone who is going to fight you."

    His body was almost completely enveloped by the crystal bone, and the temperature of the ironing came through the half-hard, wonderful touch, barely warming the collapsed body.

    Ryan: "It's not called a fight. She won't be my opponent at all, you're trying to keep me from hurting her."

    It sounds like this is just casually said, but the young man's actual tone is a little subtle.

    However, Jiang Jianming was running out of energy at this time, and he didn't think about it at all—perhaps he couldn't think of anything when he thought about it—so he just thought that Ryan was just sulking about the day's affairs.

    He sighed, "I know...you don't think you did anything wrong in the morning."

    Ryan's face was cold and silent.

    He didn't admit his mistake, but he didn't want to anger the disabled again. So just don't speak.

    I stepped on the dry branches under my feet, and the rustling sound made the surroundings quieter.

    Ryan looked up and saw the hillside where they met for the first time by accident, "Why did you come here?"

    Jiang Jianming: "I want to look at the starry sky and talk to you. After all these years... I have not been able to find the right person to speak to."

    Ryan blinked unexpectedly: Aslan's words were not said to Lin Ge, who had been with him for several years, but to himself who had just picked it up and raised him for a while...

    Immediately, the little monster was in a good mood again.

    He walked up the hillside and heard the low, soft voice behind him again.

    "Your Highness, I still don't know what kind of environment you grew up in."

    Laboratory, Ryan thought to himself.

    "Maybe someone taught you that the strong eats the weak is the basic law of nature. Maybe no one taught you, you learned it yourself."

    Jiang Jianming raised his head slightly and looked at the dark night ahead. As Ryan walked to the top of the mountain, the darkness and the stars seemed to come to him.

    When those darks are darker.

    The stars also appeared brighter.

    "...I'm not going to refute this. Seeing the big from the small, maybe this is one of the basic laws of the entire universe, but it is human beings themselves that are abnormal."

    Ryan frowned: "What did you say?"

    Jiang Jianming smiled: "Otherwise? When the leopard chases the antelope, if the leopard is faster, the antelope will be devoured and the leopard will get food; if the antelope is faster, it can escape, but the leopard may starve to death."

    "Cats will kill birds or mice for fun without being hungry, and many insects have a habit of cannibalism, which is just the cruelty of nature."

    "Your killing this morning is just a normal phenomenon in the macroscopic universe. It's no wonder you don't want to admit your mistake."

    ——Crossing the distance of a galaxy, Archbishop Gaius faced the crazy eyes of countless clergy in the audience, "As for what is right and wrong, fairness and justice."

    "These concepts are just a narrow definition of human beings. On the scale of the universe, how... ridiculous."

    The crowd below was full of people, like a pot of boiling hot water, with countless hands waving and howling like a beast. The faces were crying and laughing, laughing and crying.

    Lauren was caught in such a stream of people, dumbfounded and sweating.

    Jiang Jianming: "If the universe is conscious, maybe it will think we are wrong."

    Lai An was speechless for a moment.

    He originally thought that Dawn Aslan was just an old-fashioned benevolent person, probably a Buddha who cut meat and fed eagles.

    However, these words are so sharp that it makes the whole body feel cold. This person can see the cruelty of the universe so clearly.

    The two had come to the hillside, and Lai An helped Jiang Jianming to sit down, still holding him with a crystal bone, "Then you..."

    The black-haired young man smiled, put his pillow on Ryan's shoulder unceremoniously, and pointed his finger to the top of his head——

    "Your Highness, look at this night sky."

    Ryan raised his head following the hand of the person beside him, and a clear bone line stretched out of his white neck.

    In the inorganic emerald green eyes, countless stars are reflected. The black sky was wide and low, and it was like a big bowl clasping them to the top of this hillside.

    "How big is the universe." Jiang Jianming said with a sense of loss, "In such a vast, cruel and dark universe, a small race like us was born."

    "Only it tries to criticize the 'cruelty' that is commonplace in the universe; only it tries to reverse the law of the law of the jungle in nature."

    "It was conceived by the universe, imprisoned by the universe for life, chasing a concept that goes against the rules of the universe."

    Jiang Jianming whispered, "...Love."

    "His Excellency Archbishop!!"

    Suddenly, Lauren was hoarse, with tears in her eyes, "Then what is the 'love' that countless sages have pursued since ancient times!?"

    Gaius said slowly: "It's a fallacy, my poor child."

    The man raised his hand, revealing two smooth arms when his white sleeves slipped down. He showed a look of sympathy: "The history of human civilization is just a repetition of fallacies."

    "Human beings were born in this universe, and they cannot get rid of their biological nature. On the one hand, they yearn for peace, benevolence and justice, and on the other hand, they are making war, evil and oppression with their own hands, and they suffer from this contradiction all the time. torture!"

    Gaius: "—so humanity keeps failing miserably."

    Jiang Jianming: "That's why humans have stood up countless times."

    Gaius: "Hypocritical and stupid."

    Jiang Jianming: "Clumsy but unwilling to stop moving forward."

    Gaius: "No matter how noble one's morality is, it will be swallowed up by cruel animal nature; no matter how stable and prosperous the world may be, it will usher in its destruction one day."

    Jiang Jianming: "Whenever we enter a dark age, there will be a changer who belongs to it; whenever a chaotic war is ignited, there will be a Terminator that belongs to it."

    Gaius: "No matter how high this civilization develops, it will be easy to destroy it, because human society grows against the rules of the universe, just like water without a source and a tree without roots."

    Jiang Jianming: "From beasts, to primitive society, to slave society, feudal society, until the end of the old blue mother star era and entering the era of pursuing equality and co-prosperity... Human beings have gone against the rules of the universe and have struggled to build the its own civilization."

    "Such a race."

    Gaius said, "Isn't it funny?"

    "Such a race."

    Jiang Jianming said, "Aren't you brave?"

    ...

    On the stage, the sound dissipated.

    Under the stage, Wuyangyang's crystal disciples ushered in another scream and boiling.

    Young Gerhard Lauren fell to his knees, his face ashen.

    And Gaius the white robe slowly walked down the high platform, came to Lauren, smiled and put the tip of his right finger on the top of your son's head: "The status quo is the proof."

    "The advent of black wave radiation has destroyed the moral rules that have been shaped by mankind for thousands of years within a few years. Isn't it enough to reflect the ridiculousness of this group?"

    "The human species has come to an end. My confused child, please don't resist it."

    "Because in this universe, the end of all things is death, destruction and chaos... This is the truth and the end."

    "..."

    I don't know where to start, Lauren buried a tear-stained face, and he knocked his forehead to the ground twice in despair.

    "Yes," he murmured, "maybe you're right, but...I still...no, maybe you're right."

    ...

    On the barren hillside in the wild area, the night wind was even colder.

    Jiang Jianming frowned forbearance, covered his lips and coughed, his body seemed to slide down.

    Only then did Ryan regain his senses and hurriedly hugged him, "Aslan?"

    At this time, the little monster realized that his back was soaked in cold sweat. Those words just now almost subverted his concept.

    Looking down again, the corners of Ryan's eyes danced gloomily. There was blood again on the finger that the man had just covered his mouth with.

    He couldn't help but think to himself: If there really is an ultimate form of human civilization... No, it only needs that the disabled human be able to receive the same respect as the new human.

    How could someone like Aslan become like this?

    "It's okay, just listen to me..."

    Jiang Jianming smiled unconcernedly, "Even though civilization is going backwards, the foundation is still there, and rebuilding the prosperous world may only require a little unextinguished fire."

    As he said that, he looked at the handsome young man beside him, his face was weak, but his eyes were bright, "Your Highness, do you want to try... become a human being more monster than a monster to fight against the entire universe?"

    The emerald green eyes seemed to shake something.

    Ryan: "Is this what you want to do?"

    Jiang Jianming sighed: "Yes, since my mother passed away, whenever I look at this dark starry sky, I always feel some kind of anger that wants to resist... But I have no strength and am about to die."

    "But Your Highness, you are different."

    "The height of your birth, your innate strength, and even some of the qualities I see in your character, can support you to do things that mortals can't do."

    Jiang Jianming turned his face to the side, and he looked at the little prince in front of him with a clear expression: "The next words are entirely out of my selfishness."

    The faces of the two were very close. When the wind passes through it, the two breaths are intertwined.

    "I hope you……"

    Jiang Jianming took Ryan's right hand and stroked the boy's palm with his bloody fingers, "Light the fire."

    This leaves a bloodstain.

    Like a polished match, the flames of the stars rise.

    Ryan's breathing quivered.

    "If you really want to destroy something, I hope you can burn down this brutal empire and burn down this period of civilization's exhaustion."

    "After the destruction?" Ryan interrupted suddenly, "Who will establish a new order?"

    He didn't give Jiang Jianming time to answer, and stubbornly said, "I won't anyway."

    Jiang Jianming was helpless: "You will learn in the future."

    "Who will teach me? I don't like being obedient."

    Ryan looked straight at him: "What if there is a drug developed?"

    The young man's words were obviously a little evasive, and Jiang Jianming was stunned for a moment.

    "medicine?"

    "A medicine for crystal disorder."

    Ryan: "If so, can you live?"

    "I... live?"

    "good."

    The young man stood up suddenly, platinum curly hair flowing in the wind, "How is it? If you agree, I will agree with you too."

    He raised his eyebrows coldly, stretched out his blood-stained right palm, and under the astonished gaze of the crippled human being... slowly folded it into a fist.

    "I destroy this Holy Human Empire."

    "You live, follow me, and see for yourself how I do it."

    The author has something to say:

    Chapter 211 - "The Art of Speaking"

    Gaius: Repeatedly defeated.

    Jiang Jianming: Repeated defeats and repeated battles.
