"Whether it is god or devil, they are not us mortals. Since we are not a race, how can we get along?" Neuss indifferently said: "I will appreciate the flowers in the garden and carefully take care of them. For these flowers, I am the god! But you will not appreciate them. You will break the branches or trample on them because they are a hindrance. So you are the devil! "
"But in the Black Snow Season, when the world is cold and everything withers, I will bury them into the ground and turn them into fertilizer for the next year. I will not build a nursery for them, because they are, after all, just ornaments. When the flowers bloom next year, I will still be their god!"
"We don't really care about these playthings, but these playthings naively define us on their own, worshipping gods and hating devils. Little do they know that we are the same race, that we are a family. Who do they think they are to judge us so presumptuously?"
Sergei was startled. He couldn't help but look at Neuss: "In this aspect, you are the most thorough."
"After all, I used to be the person who followed His Majesty for the longest time. I don't know how long ago His Majesty had expressed the same meaning. Just like Silvia's Holy Church. Light and darkness. The world thinks that they are opposite to each other. But they don't know that they are one. Poor people are fools." Neuss sighed. There was a touch of bitterness in his mouth. Even if he knew these truths, it was difficult for him to escape from them. After all, he was a 'fool'.
Sergei sighed: "You are right. I admire His Majesty the most. He has no one to rely on. He has to rely on himself to climb to his current position! All the nobles and dukes in the dynasty think that His Majesty is a cruel and merciless devil. But look at the civilians living at the bottom. They like this era. Everyone can step out of the giant wall and live freely. "
"Perhaps others will think that His Majesty is cruel and tyrannical. This is indeed an undeniable fact. 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 were enslaved, who broke the situation? Although His Majesty doesn't consider himself as a savior, but he did what a savior should do. "
"But people think that the savior is too high. They think that the savior is a hero. All his actions are absolutely righteous. But how can absolute justice split the world of darkness? How can the sharp light completely dispel the darkness? Even the sun can't shine on the back of the earth. That place still has to bear the fear of the night. "
Neuss nodded: "Darkness can't be dispelled just like light can't be extinguished. There will always be heroes, but they are just decorations in this world. The vast universe is dark. Although the stars are brilliant, the darkness is eternal. Only children yearn for peace. Mature people only seek relative and superficial peace because that is 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 good deeds. Perhaps only the ordinary people will thank him, but their gratitude is too weak and powerless."
"His Majesty doesn't care about gratitude or not. Perhaps the world's gratitude and the world's hatred doesn't make any difference to him." Neuss shook his head: "Not many people will care about what he pursues and cares about."
Sergei smiled bitterly and said with nostalgia: "I really hope that His Majesty can return to the time when he was in Sylvia. At that time, he was more or less stained with human emotions. But now he is more like a cold god."
Neuss' mouth twitched as he thought of the last conversation with Dean: "Some things can't go back."
"Yes, we can't go back …" Sergei sighed.
Neuss looked into the distance and muttered to himself: "Everyone will choose the path that they think is' right '. Everyone will grow and change themselves. The environment will change. The ideals and pursuits of the past may change because they have to adapt to the current living environment. They have to change and abandon it."
"No one would think that they were on the wrong path, and no one would think that their current way of thinking was bad. Even if they occasionally noticed it, they would know in the depths of their hearts that it was because there was nothing they could do about it. That was because if they wanted to survive, they would have to work hard to maintain the way they were.
"When we change, it means that we have to abandon our previous selves and abandon our previous' wrong 'thoughts. Everyone knows that we shouldn't keep walking on the wrong path, so we will keep searching for the' right 'path. What's regrettable is that we keep searching, but we never know which path is the right one! Saints can't teach us about this. They can only teach us the stereotypical model of morality. However, the world is complicated. You can't just rely on the word 'morality'. The longer you live, the further you go! "
"So it doesn't matter if it is right or not. In the end we will find the one that suits us."
"If it suits us, then it may be right."
"If it is right, then it will not change."
Sergei was startled: "No wonder you came to this remote giant wall ten years ago. We couldn't see through you at that time. At that time, His Majesty had just ascended the throne. But you gave up everything and lived in this remote and desolate place. Now, I am the only one living in the imperial capital. Others were blinded by greed. Some were forced into the whirlpool of war. They couldn't extricate themselves and ended up like this. You have chosen the right path and it is the most suitable path for you."
"There is no right path." Neuss looked at the two children in the distance. There was a trace of doting color in his eyes: "Even I feel that today's days are too comfortable. I can't eat or sleep in peace. The war in the imperial capital hasn't spread here. But in the future, this place will not be spared. I just hope that day will come later."
Sergei was startled: "No, will His Majesty vent his anger on us? With His Majesty's means, it should be easy for him to know our details. We are clean. Moreover, after this incident, His Majesty will not condone such things again. "
"His Majesty will naturally not blame us, but others may not." Neuss looked at him: "We are the closest people to His Majesty. I don't know how many people are eyeing our position. They want to replace us and become His Majesty's confidants. Since they can't bring down His Majesty, then they will bring us down. Serving under His Majesty is our greatest pursuit."
"Sooner or later, the power struggle will penetrate here. Perhaps it has already begun, but we haven't been aware of it yet."
Sergei's face slightly changed: "With our strength and status, it is impossible for them to assassinate us."
"Assassination is naturally difficult. But others can use His Majesty's hand to kill us. For example, they can create some opportunities to make His Majesty suspicious of us. Then they can use some means to make His Majesty misunderstand us. Isn't there a chance?" Neuss gently smiled. His expression didn't seem to care, but his words were enough to make people shudder.
Sergei was startled and couldn't speak for a while.
He wasn't afraid of open swords and spears, but it was impossible to guard against the conspiracies hidden in the dark!
"Is there no way?" Sergei couldn't help but put his hope on Neuss.
Neuss shook his head: "We don't need to think of a way. What kind of person is His Majesty? His Majesty will naturally consider what I said. Instead, he will use us to lure the snake out of the hole. No matter who instigates the relationship between us and His Majesty, he will kill them! After this incident, it is impossible for us to betray His Majesty. How can His Majesty not understand this? "
Sergei was stunned for a moment. He sighed and said: "That's what I said. His Majesty is wise. You almost scared me when you said that it was dangerous!"
Neuss chuckled, but there was some bitterness in the corner of his mouth as he said: "His Majesty is naturally wise. Looking at all the countries in the world, even the first emperor of the Huaxia Dynasty, who was known as the first emperor of all ages, couldn't compare to our Majesty in terms of great achievements! Even if we give him a map of the world and let him unify the world, he is only the emperor of the human race. He can only call himself the Son of Heaven! "
"What is the Son of Heaven?"
"The son of Heaven! That's why the emperor has to worship the Heavens! "
"On the other hand, His Majesty has not only unified the entire world, he has also unified all the systems. He has also solved the external threat of the human race, banished the daemons, and defeated the alien invaders such as the Aragami and the demonic insects. Just these achievements alone have far exceeded the scope of an emperor. Moreover, His Majesty has evolved to the point where he is almost like a god.
"His Majesty is no longer an emperor but a God."
"If the ancient emperors are the Son of Heaven, then our Majesty is the Heaven!"
"Heaven?"
Sergei was startled: "That's right. His Majesty is close to the level of God. He is indeed not comparable to an ordinary emperor. In this way, we don't have to worry too much. If there is any danger, His Majesty will solve it in advance."
The smile on Neuss' face slowly disappeared: "Of course, Heaven is more noble than the Son of Heaven. But what is' Heaven '?"
"Huh?" Sergei was puzzled as he did not understand.
"Heaven is fair." Neuss stared at him and said: "Whether you are beautiful or ugly, noble or lowly, you can't escape death! Whether it is the barren swamp or the flourishing city, when the rainy season comes, everything will be wet! The heavens will not give you extra care because of your prayers, nor will they punish you with lightning because of your evil curse! "
"Heaven is high above the clouds."
"Overlooking all living beings, not moved by the joy of living beings, nor will it care for the misery of living beings!"
"When there is a drought, rain will not fall on you because of your pity! When there is a flood, it will not stop because of the destruction of your home! "
"Heaven follows the rules of heaven. The happiness and anger of the world have no effect on it."
"If you beg, then it is just a coincidence. After all, the world is full of suffering and there are tens of thousands of people who beg. There will always be a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse."
"That is Heaven."
Sergei was startled. After a long time, he reacted. His face turned ugly: "You mean, His Majesty will become as ruthless as the sky?"
Neuss didn't answer directly: "No matter what, His Majesty always has his own considerations. We only need to follow the rules of His Majesty. Don't think too much about it. At least we are at peace now. The future is too far away. To pursue eternal peace is an extremely cruel war! Isn't it the most ridiculous thing in the world to pursue peace through war? "
