Night came fast in Cadeceus. An hour ago, the sun was still high up in the sky, and an hour later, the sun was already setting, and the clouds were beginning to bloom. The group finally found an inn they could stay in before the sun completely set. It was near the city wall of the inner city. It was very quiet, and they were not afraid of being disturbed. Also, it was relatively clean.
The food provided by the hotel was not to their liking, but they had been eating dry rations throughout the journey in the demonic realm, and now that they could finally eat something normal, they did not mind. Hao Ren had nothing to do after dinner, so he went to the balcony on the third floor of the hotel to enjoy the night breeze, but he found Y'zaks already there.
The fierce man who walked everywhere seemed to have something on his mind. He stood at the edge of the balcony, his arms crossed as he looked at the city in the distance, as if he was deep in thought. Hao Ren came to his side, and also looked at the city of Cadeceus under the sunset. The last ray of golden red sunlight was shining down on the city, the sky was dim, and the exotic houses and streets were coated with a layer of metallic luster. Y'zaks seemed to be talking to himself. "What a view."
Y'zaks' thoughts were hard to guess, but as a sensitive human, Hao Ren could not help but think of the girl he met this afternoon, the human soldier named Kevin. Looking at the quiet and peaceful city of Cadeceus under the sunset, he imagined the scene ten years ago when Y'zaks led his army to invade this place.
"There are very few things in this world that can be said to be right or wrong, in the end, even the concept of 'right or wrong' is something determined by humans." Hao Ren sighed. "You have great ambitions, you want to lead the world on the right track, you want a better future for the races of this world, so you are not wrong. But look at this city, there are so many people, commoners, peddlers, their happiness is three meals a day, peace, they want to protect their ordinary lives and traditions, they are even willing to rebel against the demon king, that is not wrong."
Vivian's voice suddenly came from behind, he did not know when she had come to the balcony. "You can lead this world into the future, but most people do not care about this future. In their limited and short lives, they can only see a few decades or centuries of peace. They do not care about the sea of stars or the truth of the world, they only care about their wives and children, their basic necessities, and if anyone encroaches on these trivial interests, they will fight with their lives on the line. Humans on Earth have the same lifespan, but there will always be disputes due to differences in opinions, but in this world... the longevity of the short-lived species is several times or even dozens of times longer. What you see in the next moment, to most people in this world, is a few generations into the future. Even if you tell them your ambitions, they will not accept this future that has nothing to do with them. "
Y'zaks turned his head, the sunset cast a mottled shadow on his face, he was smiling. "But all of you still support my original theory."
"Yes, you are right," Hao Ren shrugged. "But they are not wrong either."
"There is no right or wrong in this world, I knew it from the beginning. If the Mad King does not even have this awareness, why am I standing here?" Y'zaks looked up, silently watching the last ray of sunlight disappear on the other side of the mountains, as if counting the time. He then turned and looked in the direction of the Red Plains opposite the mountains. "Look, the most magnificent sunrise in Cadeceus Realm is coming."
Hao Ren did not understand and followed Y'zaks to the end of the horizon of the Red Plains. In the distance of the undulating plains, there seemed to be a screen of light floating slowly. At first, he thought that it was the moon rising, but soon he realized that the scale of the light screen was far greater than the moon!
A slightly curved light that spanned across the entire horizon rose abruptly from beyond the horizon, as if the sky was being pulled up slowly. This light was very gentle compared to the sun, it was even dimmer than the moon, but because of its scale, it could not help but be suffocating. As the light screen rose slowly, Hao Ren finally saw that it was another celestial body — a celestial body that could cover almost half of the sky!
As it slowly rose into the sky, the dim and gentle light shone on the earth, and the curved light screen showed the outline of a planet. It had a chaotic appearance, and a structure that looked like a cloud belt formed a ring on the surface of the planet, as if a storm was brewing under the ring.
"What the hell is that?!" Hao Ren cried out in surprise.
"Amu," Y'zaks crossed his arms in front of his chest, bathing in the dim light of the new star. "Also known as the Amu Sky, it is a gas planet. I estimate that its size should be similar to Saturn in the solar system, but its' climate 'is milder. The Cadeceus continent that we are standing on is floating in the orbit of this gas giant planet. In fact, the Cadeceus continent is also the remains of a broken planet, it has not yet formed a new planet due to its circularity. For now, it is a slightly curved space continent, and the rest of the planet should have fallen into the atmospheric storm of 'Amu'. Perhaps we can still find some clues from those cloud belts millions of years ago. In the depths of the Cadeceus continent lies a powerful 'gravitational tumor', perhaps it is the high-density space material that caused the planet to shatter. It destroyed the original Cadeceus planet, but created enough gravitational force on the wreckage of the planet to preserve its atmosphere. "
Hao Ren's eyes widened, shocked by the incredible existence of the land under his feet, and even more shocked by how many inexplicable wonders this world could present. Y'zaks, on the other hand, continued to explain the situation of the plane without any expression on his face. "Cadeceus continent orbits in the orbit of 'Amu', maintaining a kind of 'rotation' that is close to tumbling. Whenever the sun sets in the west, 'Amu' will rise in the east. This is the unique wonder of the Cadeceus continent, the sun rising in the sky. So the night on this continent is never completely dark. Just like my seventh plane, there will always be a huge planet that illuminates the night sky. "
Hao Ren's mind was sketching the strange celestial phenomenon of this plane, and finally, he managed to squeeze out three words. "Why?"
"Yes, why?" Y'zaks looked up at the magnificent cloud crown of 'Amu'. "Why is Cadeceus broken like this? Why are there so many broken planets and incomplete galaxies? Why are there these wonders that should not be formed naturally? Why is space cut into vesicles, isolated from each other, and why are there so many spatial doors connecting these planes together? Why are these vesicles isolated for so many years, but evolved into a connected ecosystem? Why can't we see the stars, but find traces of starlight radiation in some ancient minerals? Why is the size of the universe calculated by the little old man so strange? "
Y'zaks threw out so many whys, it almost made Hao Ren dizzy. In the end, he hugged his chest and looked up at the sky. "So I want to know why. I am the most powerful creature in this world, I do not want to crawl on the surface without knowing anything. So I want to march towards the sky, and use the power of the world to push myself into the sky. I deserve to know all the truth, and those intelligent creatures that do not want to crawl on the surface, they also deserve to pursue these truths. "
"So if time were to flow back, and I was given another chance, I would once again gather an army, and sweep the whole world. Because I know that there is no other way to make the world work for me." Y'zaks lowered his head, and looked down at the city. "And if they were given another chance, they would still unite, gather an army, and protect their homes and traditions. No matter how many times it repeats, we will still be the same. Heroes are still heroes, and demons are still demons. The only difference is that we win and lose. "
"I have seen many immortals." Vivian looked at Y'zaks deeply. "You are the purest one. Just like what you said, there is no right or wrong. Everything is just because you want to do it, and you need to do it. It seems that no matter how many times it repeats, this world will not tolerate you. "
"Of course." Y'zaks laughed silently, and shrugged. "So I am the demon king."
Hao Ren returned to his room, and extinguished the light. He looked at the gentle light from "Amur" shining through the wooden lattice window into the small hotel room. He was deeply fascinated by the endless secrets of the infinite world. It made him feel that even if he did not do anything in this world, he would gain a lot just by sightseeing.
A call came from the spiritual world. Hao Ren opened his Dimensional Pocket, and placed a large fish tank on the ground. He carefully fished Lil Pea out of the water, and carried the little one to the window.
Lil Pea looked at the world outside happily, and happily patted Hao Ren's arm with her tail. She pointed at "Amur" that covered almost one-third of the sky. "Big moon! Big moon! Go to the big moon! "
"If there is a chance, daddy will bring you to more interesting worlds." Hao Ren gently patted Lil Pea's tail. "When I signed this contract … it was awesome!"
