This day, when the sun was setting over the mountain, Lin Song stood outside the house, his face pale.

That bloody place was completely the tragedy of high-level alien creatures after the rampage.Her mind went blank, and when she realized it, she rushed into the room screaming.

"Dawn!!—Dawn!!"

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

Just when she had imagined 800 ways of Jiang Jianming's tragic death, and was feeling remorseful for going out, her eyes suddenly stopped.

The writing on the wall was carved out with stones: I took Lai An out, please deal with the outside and explain later.

"..."

The girl who was about to cry in fright stood numbly for a moment, then turned her head to look at the dozens of corpses outside, those disgusting countless severed limbs and internal organs.

deal with the outside...

deal with those...

Lin Song's face changed a few times, and finally froze into an expression of extreme grief and indignation.

damn it!Jiang actually... actually ran out with that bastard little nobleman, and let her move the corpse at home in a daze!?

- Calculated, this is probably the beginning of countless grievances and grievances between the founding emperor and His Majesty in the future... and the source of countless stories written as "love, hate, love and hatred" and read as "jokes for favor".

Eternal Paradise Star City.

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

Followed by a solemn young nobleman, he looked up at the door and then reached out to touch it.It was quickly realized that it was an advanced security device disguised as vintage 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."

"Opening this door, can I find the way I dreamed of...to make all my fellow citizens happy?"

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

The tiny camera on the bronze door disguised as animal pattern completed the functions of iris collection, recognition and unlocking in half a second, and the huge door opened to both sides with a creaking sound.

Gerhard Lauren, the young prince of the Old Empire, 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 a church, but there is something weird everywhere.In the middle of the altar-like high ground, there are vaguely two figures, one tall and one short, and the bottom is full of people standing in the dark.

The Crystal Cultist who led Lauren here continued to lead the young master behind him to separate from the crowd, and they walked to the high platform.

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

The shorter figure belonged to a little girl who looked less than ten years old.With white hair and blue eyes, she looks extremely beautiful, but her limbs are distorted and full of crystals, her expression is very stupid, she has been staring blankly at the man in white robe.

"That one is our Archbishop."

The crystal believers beside them showed pious expressions, raised their arms and pointed, signaling to the man in white robe: "Your Excellency Gaius."

"The other one?"

"That deformed girl? It was a failure of the empire's chaos correction plan. It should have been disposed of. His Excellency the Archbishop happened to save her and raise her... Hehe, don't look at her appearance, in factIt's been decades."

Growth retardation... Intelligence seems to be abnormal.What is the Empire's "Chaos Correction Plan"?never heard of...

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

"This is a routine preaching." The crystal believers said to Lauren.

In a blink of an eye, the man in the white robe walked forward.

His eyes were deep and dull, and he quietly swept across the crowd below, and then stopped on Lauren, who was showing a bit of nervousness, and smiled slightly.

"Today, are there any confused people coming here?"

Gaius spoke with a gentle voice, but there was no emotion between the words: "Say your question, and the brilliance of crystal particles will guide the lost lamb back."

For some reason, Lauren's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily when he was stared at by this person.

The nobleman swallowed dryly, and took two steps forward: "Your Excellency, Archbishop Crystal Cult!"

"I came here with questions."

Many of the crystal cultists present turned their heads.

Lauren raised her chest and said in a deep voice, "I want to know when our country will be able to get rid of the current dark situation."

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

"I have the intention to abandon my rich and prosperous background to save my compatriots who are in dire straits. I hope that everyone is equal and everyone is happy...but I have no ambition but no direction."

"Even if you disperse your wealth, you can only save hundreds of people at most, but not hundreds of millions; even if you overthrow the Holy Human Empire, at most you can only dispel the tyranny in front of you, and it is impossible to maintain the next few tens or even hundreds of people."Century of peace!"

"Your Excellency, 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 became excited, "Please guide the direction of paradise for human beings, a race struggling in the swamp!"

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

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

"But the truth is hard, 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: "Human beings are a race born with fallacies, with the most pathetic and ridiculous contradictory nature. The future you expect is just a mirage that can never be reached."

"Because it is contrary to the basic laws of the universe, and of course, it is also contrary to human beings themselves."

The crystal believers on all sides suddenly let out fanatical voices, as if the archbishop's speech belittled his own species, but it was good news for them.

The screaming sound made Lauren's mind buzzing. He couldn't understand it, so he could only repeat: "The basic law of the universe...?"

"Why did you come out?"

At the same time, the Blue Mother Planet Z2 wild area.

When the sky darkened, the little monster who had just caused a massacre walked through the desolate winter wilderness with the only cripple he was interested in in the world.

Jiang Jianming leaned on Lai An's back, closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "What do you think?... Don't run out, Lin Song saw that he was going to fight with you."

His body was almost completely covered by the crystal bone, and the ironing temperature came from the semi-hard wonderful touch, barely warming this collapsed body.

Lai An: "It's not called a fight. She won't be my opponent at all. You want me not to hurt her."

These words sounded like casual remarks, but the boy's actual tone was a bit subtle.

But Jiang Jianming was out of energy at this time, he didn't think about it at all—maybe he couldn't think of anything after thinking about it—he just thought that Lai An was just sullen about the day's affairs.

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

Lai An remained silent with a cold face.

He really didn't admit his mistake, but he didn't want to make the disabled people angry again.So can only say nothing.

Stepping on the dry branches under the feet, the broken rustling made the surrounding quieter.

Lai An looked up and saw the hillside they had 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 so many years... I have never been able to find a suitable person to say something to me."

Lai An blinked unexpectedly: Aslan's words were not spoken to Lin Song who had been with him for several years, but to himself who had just picked him up and raised him not long ago...

Immediately, the little monster felt better again.

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

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

Laboratory, Lai An thought to himself.

"Maybe someone taught you that the law of the jungle is the basic law of nature. Maybe no one taught you, and you learned it by yourself."

Jiang Jianming raised his head slightly, looking at the dark night ahead.As Lai An walked towards the top of the mountain, the darkness and the stars seemed to come rushing towards him.

When those darks are darker.

The stars also appeared brighter.

"...I'm not going to refute this point. See the big from the small, maybe this is one of the basic laws of the entire universe, and the exception is human beings themselves."

Lai An frowned: "What did you say?"

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

"Cats will kill birds or mice for fun when they are not hungry, and many insects have the habit of cannibalism. This is just the cruelty of nature."

"Your killing this morning is just an ordinary phenomenon in the macro universe. No wonder you don't want to admit your mistake."

——Spanning the distance of a galaxy, Archbishop Gaius met the crazy eyes of countless congregants in the audience, "As for good and evil, right and wrong, fairness and justice."

"These concepts are just the narrow definitions of human beings. On the scale of the universe, it seems... ridiculous."

The people below were crowded, like a pot of boiling hot water, with countless hands waving and howling like wild animals.Faces crying and laughing, laughing and crying.

Lauren was mixed in such a flow of people, dumbfounded, and cold sweat rolled down.

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

Lai An was stunned and speechless for a moment.

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

However, these words are so sharp that it makes people feel cold all over. This person has such a clear view of the cruel truth of the universe.

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

The black-haired young man smiled, leaned unceremoniously on Lai An's shoulder, and pointed to the top of his head——

"Your Highness, look at this night sky."

Lai An followed the hand of the person beside him and raised his head, his white neck stretched out with a clear bone line.

Countless stars are reflected in the inorganic emerald green eyes.The black sky is vast and low, holding them on top of this hillside like a big bowl.

"How big is the universe." Jiang Jianming said sadly, "In such a vast, cruel and dark universe, a tiny race like us was born."

"Only it tries to criticize the common 'cruelty' in the universe; only it tries to reverse the law of the weak in nature."

"It was conceived by the universe, imprisoned by the universe all its life, but chasing a concept that is contrary to the rules of the universe."

Jiang Jianming whispered: "...love."

"His Excellency the Archbishop!!"

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

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

The man raised his hand, revealing two smooth arms when the white sleeve slipped off, his face showed pity: "The history of human civilization is nothing but the repetition of falsehoods."

"Human beings were born in this universe, and they cannot get rid of their nature as creatures. On the one hand, they long for peace, benevolence, and justice, and on the other hand, they create war, evil, and oppression with their own hands.torture!"

Gaius: "—so the human race continues to fail miserably."

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

Gaius: "False and stupid."

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

Gaius: "No matter how noble the morality you think you are, it will be swallowed up by cruel animalism; no matter how peaceful and prosperous the world is, there will be a day of destruction."

Jiang Jianming: "Whenever a dark age enters, there will be changers belonging to it; whenever a chaotic war ignites, there will be a terminator belonging 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 wild beasts, to primitive society, to slave society, feudal society, until the end of the old blue mother star era, we entered the era of pursuing equality and common prosperity... Human beings have struggled against the rules of the universe, but they have indeed builtown civilization."

"Such a race."

Gaius asked, "Isn't it ridiculous?"

"Such a race."

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

...

On the stage, the sound dissipated.

Under the stage, the black crystal cult members ushered in another scream and boiling.

The young Gerhard Lauren knelt on his knees, his face covered with ashes.

And Gaius in the white robe slowly walked down the high platform, came to Lauren, put his right fingertips on the noble young master's head with a smile: "The current situation is the proof."

"The advent of black wave radiation destroyed the moral rules that humans have shaped for thousands of years in 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 ultimate."

"..."

I don't know from which sentence, Lauren buried his tear-stained face, and he hit his forehead on the ground twice in a daze.

"Yes," he murmured, "perhaps you are right, but... I still... No, perhaps you are right."

...

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

Jiang Jianming frowned forbearance, covered his lips and coughed lowly, as if his body was about to slide down.

Only then did Lai An come back to his senses, and quickly hugged her, "Aslan?"

Only then did the little monster realize that his back was drenched in cold sweat.Those words just now almost subverted his concept.

Looking down again, the corners of Lai An's eyes twitched sullenly.There was blood again on the finger that the man had just covered his mouth with.

He couldn't help thinking to himself: If there really is an ultimate form of human civilization... No, it only needs that disabled humans can be respected equally with new humans.

How could someone like Aslan end up like this?

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

Jiang Jianming smiled nonchalantly, "Even though the civilization is going backwards now, the foundation is still there. Reconstructing the prosperous age 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...to become a human being who is even more monster than a monster, and fight against the entire universe?"

There seemed to be something shaking in the emerald green eyes.

Lai An: "Is this what you want to do?"

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

"But Your Highness, you are different."

"The height of your birth, your natural strength, and even certain traits I have seen from your character can support you to do things that ordinary people cannot do."

Jiang Jianming turned his face sideways, and he looked at the little prince in front of him with a clear expression: "The next words are completely out of my own 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 pulled Lai An's right hand, and with his own blood-stained finger, gently stroked the boy's palm, "Light the fire."

That leaves a bloodstain.

Like a polished match, a rising star flame.

Lai An's breath trembled.

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

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

He didn't give Jiang Jianming time to answer, he stubbornly bit the pronunciation, "Anyway, I don't know how."

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

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

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

The boy's words were obviously a bit off, Jiang Jianming was taken aback.

"medicine?"

"A cure for crystal disorder."

Lai An: "If there is, can you live?"

"I... survive?"

"good."

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

With a cold face and frowning, he stretched out his bloody right palm, and under the surprised eyes of the disabled... slowly closed it into a fist.

"I will 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: Repeated defeats.

Jiang Jianming: Repeated defeats and repeated battles.
