Why was the Overlord unstoppable? Why was he able to enter Xianyang and kill two generations? Why was he able to sweep the world? However, such an unyielding overlord was defeated by the hooligan Liu Bang. In the end, he and his lover, Yuji, performed a shocking "Farewell, My Concubine". A world-shaking hero, a peerless hero, had committed suicide as a loser on the banks of the Wu River!
Why did Gou Jian bow and scrape before the King of Wu? Why did he have to be the leader of the army? Why did he have to suffer humiliation and struggle at death's door? However, such a prodigal dog that did not have any semblance of an Emperor had endured hardships and finally swept through the Wu Country with 3,000 Yue Jia soldiers, completing a shocking reversal and establishing a hegemony of a generation!
One word: power!
One word: temperament!
Since ancient times, there were many people like Xiang Yu and Gou Jian. Why did Xiang Yu fail? Many people would say that it was because of his personality! That was right! Xiang Yu was not fit to be an Overlord. He was not even fit to be a commander. At most, he could only be a general. His temper, his anger, his suspicion, his lack of strategy … all of these became his flaws. They became obstacles for him to become an Overlord. He was more suitable to be a hero than an Overlord. His scheming nature meant that he would not become an Overlord. However, he was not fit to be an Overlord. …
Xiang Yu failed because he was not popular. Advisors like Fan Zeng and commanders like Han Xin were all abandoned by his suspicion and shortsightedness. Even Han Xin was forced to side with Liu Bang, sowing the seeds of his failure. He was very popular in the army. It could not be helped. Who asked him to lead the troops? He also had the courage of ten thousand men. Since ancient times, heroes were born from the wilderness. These people did not study much and did not know much. However, they admired heroes. However, this was not a game of Jianghu! It was a war for the world. … So what if he was brave? So what if he could carry a cauldron? Once the army surrounded him, he would be exhausted.
Xiang Yu failed. However, when he was surrounded by enemies, he still had a chance. If he could cross the Wu River, he could still make a comeback. However, it was precisely because of his valiant and invincible heart in battle that at this moment produced a sense of guilt and softness that couldn't fit together with an emperor. Thus, the scene of the 'Overlord Farewell My Concubine' played out. Thus, he lost his chance to conquer the world!
Compared to Xiang Yu, Gou Jian was different. He was weak. Yes, he was weak. However, he was also strong. He was the true Overlord. His weakness was that his country was weak. It could not stop the invasion of the Wu Kingdom and was destroyed by King Fu Chai. However, his strength was his heart. So what if his country was destroyed? He put down his dignity as an Emperor and personally led the horse for King Fu Chai of Wu. Not only did he numb Fu Chai, but he also obtained a small piece of land that could accommodate the Yue Kingdom that he had already destroyed. In the end, after enduring hardships for more than ten years, they finally destroyed the enemy country and achieved their own hegemony.
Xiang Yu and Gou Jian were polar opposites. What was it that caused them to have the same status, yet the final outcome was so different?
There were many reasons for this, but there were only two important ones!
Strength and temperament!
Strength was not power. It was the power of the world and the Overlord!
Temperament was the attitude, character, persistence, perseverance, and temperament of an Overlord!
Xiang Yu's tyranny and Gou Jian's benevolence were two extremes. This showed the extreme personalities of the two Overlords. The commoners did not care who the Overlord was. Their only wish was to live a good life, eat well and wear warm clothes. That was all. This was the power of the world. This was the common wish of the people. However, Xiang Yu went against it. He went against the flow, while Gou Jian went with the flow. It was clear who had succeeded and who had failed.
There was also the strength of an Overlord. This was very vague. However, it could be summed up as the charm of an Overlord!
An Overlord was also a person. However, it was very difficult to become a true Overlord. An Overlord was the son of heaven. He was the son of heaven sent by the gods. These might be able to fool the common people who had been fooled by the policy of fooling the common people, but it was naive to think that it could be used on the smart people, especially the officials and hermits. However, how do you make them submit and obediently work for you to manage the world? This depended on the strength of an Overlord. The stronger your aura, the stronger your charm, the more stable your country would be.
Xiang Yu did not have the aura of an Overlord. Perhaps he was used to being an Overlord. However, he did not have the aura of an Overlord. Instead, he had the courage of an Overlord. Gou Jian was the exact opposite. This caused Xiang Yu to be abandoned by his friends and family. However, Gou Jian managed to unite the people of Yue Country and made them loyal to him.
As for temperament, it was needless to say. If Xiang Yu had the temperament of an Overlord, he would not have killed himself in Wu River. Instead, he would have crossed Wu River to find a chance to rise again. He was an Overlord. Thus, he could not tolerate failure. Thus, he used such a negative method to avoid the pain of failure. As for Gou Jian? It was the complete opposite. He was ashamed of failure. However, he did not avoid it. He had the charm of an Overlord, the strategy of an Overlord, and the temperament of an Overlord. He put down his pride and led the horse for the Overlord. Thus, he gained his trust and returned to Yue Country. After enduring hardships for more than ten years, he finally got his revenge and became an Overlord. He built a great empire.
Being strong did not mean that one was strong.
Today, Alfiso was like that. He was like Xiang Yu. He had the courage of an Overlord but did not have the heart of an Overlord. The previous failure had caused his temperament to be affected. He was beaten down from being an Overlord. The contrast was enough to make him wish he was dead. However, he was enslaved again. He became someone else's slave. Damn, the Blood Emperor, the absolute existence of Europe, had become a slave. How could the arrogant Blood Emperor, Alfiso, endure this?
The current Alfiso was living in hatred. He had been beaten down from the Blood Emperor's altar. The current him was only Alfiso. He was a powerful Overlord. Without a strong heart, unyielding willpower, and tenacious perseverance, he was no longer a threat. Perhaps it was because of this that the person who enslaved him allowed him to absorb the Blood Essence of other Overlords. Because in the eyes of that Overlord, this child could only be so. There was no need to worry at all.
Facing a loser who could not extricate himself from his past failures, what was there to be afraid of?
Chu Rui looked at the crazed Alfiso with disdain. His lips curled into a mocking smile.
Even if you have the strength of a Void God, you, Alfiso, are still a loser. Nothing more. What is there to be afraid of?
