The desires of humans would never stop.
Take Earth as an example. Since ancient times, humans were not strong enough to fight against yao, so all humans could do was huddle together. That was because if they didn't do that, they would die.
In order to survive, humans were willing to put down their pride.
They attached themselves to other races.
They used other races as their totems, and enjoyed their protection in order to obtain peace and development.
At that time, what humans thought was very simple.
Was to live.
They didn't ask for much, all they wanted was to survive.
There was no doubt about that. When even living was an extravagant hope, how could they think about anything else?
But … after they were able to survive, were they really willing to continue living like this?
No! They began to think of other things.
Rule.
They wanted to overthrow their current status of being protected and rule over everything in the world.
It was undeniable that they did.
At that time, their desire changed from living to ruling.
At the time, they might have thought that as long as they ruled over the yao, they could kill the ones that didn't obey, and turn the ones that obeyed into their war beasts. Then, humans would be able to live together in peace.
But what happened in the end?
！ What did humans think of when they purged the yao?
To rule over other humans.
Just like that, their desires continued to expand, causing humans to be unable to live in peace.
Perhaps peace could last for ten years, a hundred years, or even a thousand years. For humans in the universe, it might last for several hundred thousand years, but it would definitely come to an end.
Perhaps there really were people among the humans who wanted to live in peace.
But everyone thought differently.
Ambitious people would definitely be born among them. It would be fine if these ambitious people didn't have strength, but once they did, they would use their own strength to satisfy their desires.
And so, war came! Actually, that was the case from any business perspective, even if one ignored war.
If you had one, you would want two. If you had two, you would hope for three.
And so on. There was no end.
"How could this be?"
Meng Luo bit her lips and muttered.
"Meng Luo, this is actually very normal. It's happening around you as well, you just haven't noticed," Ye Zichen replied with a smile.
Ye Zichen replied with a chuckle. "Think about your family. Isn't it trying to develop as well?
Did your family ever think of saying, 'this is it … this is enough?' "
Meng Luo was taken aback. After thinking for a while, she slowly shook her head.
"No … no."
"But we did it to protect ourselves, to prevent others from bullying us."
"Yeah."
Ye Zichen nodded with a smile. "It's true that it's to protect myself, but why do I have to protect myself?
If the human race was truly peaceful, then why would they still need to consider such things?
Didn't the mention of self-protection mean that someone would invade?
Your family has been able to develop peacefully all this time because your family has great power, and no one dares to covet it.
The sacred saint universe being invaded is his growth, it's not enough to deter those ambitious people. "
"This … Also, think about it, did your clan influence other clans in the process of development? Did you annex some clans and force them to become your clan's vassals? Did you?"
Ye Zichen asked.
"Yes."
Meng Luo bit her lip and replied.
"See, from this, it can be seen that your family is also ambitious."
Ye Zichen replied with a smile. "It's just that the method is relatively gentler.
You didn't see blood, but it's actually another method of invasion, another method of war. "
"Great deity, are you saying that my family is bad as well?"
Meng Luo's eyes were filled with panic.
"No," Ye Zichen rubbed her head with a smile.
Ye Zichen smiled and tousled her hair. Even Su Liu'er sighed and patted her on the shoulder.
"That's human nature."
"Human nature?"
Meng Luo frowned.
"Wanting to become better is never wrong," Ye Zichen said seriously.
Ye Zichen's expression was serious. "It doesn't matter if it's for self-protection or invasion. There's no right or wrong in essence.
Right and wrong are always relative.
What we think is right might not be seen as right by others.
What we think is bad might be seen as good by others. It's the same with war and invasion.
The only thing we can do is to maintain the kindness in our hearts and not bully others when we have the strength. In the face of aggression, we have to accept and understand it. "
"Then Cangyue isn't bad?"
Meng Luo asked.
"No, he's bad!"
Ye Zichen replied seriously. "But that's only to us. Because he stands against us, we think he's bad.
But if it's the people of Cangyue, they might feel that he's not wrong at all. "
Right and wrong, good and evil.
It had always been a question of relativity.
Ye Zichen's explanation wasn't just for Meng Luo, it was also for the Flame Rat, Bai Yu and Hua Jianrou.
He wanted to let these children, who were soaking in a honeypot, know.
The universe wasn't as kind as they thought, but they shouldn't think of it as too bad.
Ye Zichen didn't know if they could truly understand this, but he believed that they would understand as time went on.
"Milky Way Lord, y-you see things so clearly."
Niu Mang's expression was filled with shock.
Before Ye Zichen's explanation, even he'd had a lot of questions. Now that he'd heard Ye Zichen's explanation, it was as if all his questions had been answered.
Why did some people think he was good just because he thought he was bad?
They even broke off all ties because of this.
So it turned out that he'd been too naive. He'd only looked at things from his own point of view, but he hadn't thought about how things were from Ye Zichen's point of view.
"It's nothing, I'll naturally understand after experiencing more."
Ye Zichen shrugged.
"Great deity, you should be around the same age as us, right? What kind of experiences have you had?"
The Flame Rat was stunned. "Why do I feel like you're so much more mature than us, just like my dad?"
"Me …" Ye Zichen subconsciously glanced at Su Liu 'er, only to see her shrug back.
"You guys are different from us. Liu 'er and I might not dare to talk about other things, but we've been through life and death countless times. It's just like how the Divine Region's Cosmic Nations have experienced countless similar wars.
We've seen our friends and family die in front of us, and we've seen countless hot-blooded warriors fight until their deaths. "
"How should I put it?
Actually, if I didn't have such an experience, my life might be better. "
"Was it in the Milky Way?"
Hua Jianrou raised her eyebrows.
"More or less."
Ye Zichen nodded. "It was on a planet with life in the Milky Way, which is also my home, Earth!"
