Chapter 1488 Unfounded Worry
You can't say it to a third person. It's more credible if someone else promises you something like this. But if Babo Erben promised, it would not have any credible value.
You must know that he was born as a black fish spirit, and he was born with a big mouth. But now he is even more talkative, it is impossible to keep any secrets in his mouth. To him, what he said to the envoy earlier was nothing but fart. As long as there is a suitable price tag, he can confide in anything.
But now it is like this, in front of the Flood Demon King, he has already said everything he knows in detail. But after he finished talking about these things, the Flood Demon King slowly fell into deep thought.
He doesn't understand these twists and turns in the heavenly court. But he knew that the filth in the gods of heaven could not be mixed casually. As the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer. If it is true that the Emperor of Heaven and those top gods are right in secret, those who are caught in the middle will suffer disaster in all likelihood. So whether to participate in it or not, he was still hesitating in his heart.
Essentially, he doesn't believe in these high gods, especially the so-called Heavenly Emperor. As the saying goes, identity creates distance, and distance creates gap. How could such a lofty figure like Tiandi think about these monsters. Even if there is, I'm afraid it's just some kind of special use. As for being used as a gun by the Emperor of Heaven, it is uncertain when he will be cannon fodder. The Flood Demon King still feels that his current life is a little more carefree.
It's the safest thing to do. But at the same time, this is the least profitable approach. You must know that everything is risky. In the current situation, even if he doesn't want to get involved, it's hard to guarantee that he won't get involved passively. And once you get involved again, I'm afraid it will be difficult to control your own position.
And blended in, and stood directly on the side of the Emperor of Heaven. This is clearly a lucrative option. Conferring the gods, even for a person like him standing at the top of a monster, it can almost be said to be the most alluring thing. There is no need to elaborate on how many heroes a god can bow down. If there is such an opportunity, then Flood Demon King really can't guarantee whether he will block it recklessly.
To gamble or not to gamble, that is the question. Jiao Demon King was full of entanglements in his heart, but when he was frowning his brows in distress because of these two choices, he suddenly saw Babo Erben who was eating all kinds of things beside him. His heartless look made him stunned for a moment, and then his whole heart suddenly became enlightened.
What are you worrying about? Is this kind of thing up to you to decide for yourself? The great sage among demons sounds nice to say, but in fact, in front of those real big men, he is just an ant that can be manipulated at will. Obviously nothing can be decided, so why bother with such a thing. Isn't it the best choice to let nature take its course?
Figured this out,
The Jiao Demon King just let go of all the burdens in his heart, and started to exchange cups with Ba Bo'er. And while they were enjoying the hospitality of the Heavenly Court so heartlessly, on the other side, the Miluo Palace where the Emperor of Heaven lived was. A group of people with the most authority and status in this world has gathered together.
The Emperor of Heaven, the Four Royals, and the so-called Taishang Laojun, or Lao Tzu himself. At this moment, they are communicating face to face with a serious face.
Many people think that what they communicate will be a major event in the world, but it is not the case, because from the very beginning, the topic they communicated has been brought to a bias by the Yellow Emperor, who is the emperor of the Ziwei North Pole in Zhongtian. The direction is up.
"Are you the son of Chisongzi? I really never thought that a person with the character of Chisongzi would marry and have children one day. Kid, under what circumstances did he have you?"
"Your Excellency Huangdi, I think I should explain something to you. Although the reincarnation of Chisongzi is indeed my biological father, it does not mean that I agree with his existence. In fact, he has no intention of being a father. Qualifications. At least in my opinion, he doesn't have the qualifications."
"Don't you have that kind of qualification? This is true. A person with his character is indeed not suitable to be a father. At least I can't imagine what he will look like when he becomes a father. But anyway , he is your father, this point cannot be faked. If this is the case, would you mind telling me the reason? Why do you think he is not a qualified father? "
The Yellow Emperor, who regarded Zhouyi as the son of an old man, did not mean to regard him as the Emperor of Heaven at all. Compared with why Zhou Yi summoned them and what big event he was planning as the emperor of heaven, he seemed to care more about the parents of this old man's son. This really made Zhou Yi feel a little puzzled, it was not at all the same as the Yellow Emperor in his impression.
However, since he asked this question, Zhou Yi had no choice but to answer. So he could only reply to Huang Di in as concise a way as possible.
"Abandoned my mother for nearly thirty years without saying a word, and deliberately wanted to use his wife and children as tools. Do you think such a person is qualified to be called a father?"
"Indeed. It's hard to be recognized as a father for a person who has done such a thing." Nodding his head, Huang Di didn't speak for his former comrades-in-arms. Instead, he agreed with Zhou Yi with a look of emotion. But after agreeing, he changed the subject and said this to Zhou Yi again. "However, would you mind hearing how I rely on your father, Chisongzi?"
After saying this, without waiting for Zhou Yi to make any statement, he had already started talking to him on his own.
"I remember the first time I met him, when I just became the leader of the tribe. At that time, although the Xiong clan was powerful, it was still subject to natural and man-made disasters. It was hard for me to take him with me when I first became the leader. The warriors in the tribe killed the ferocious beast that caused chaos in our territory. However, they caused floods and natural disasters because they offended the fierce god behind the ferocious beast. To be honest, at that time, I was completely hopeless."
"The insignificance of human power is beyond your comprehension. In those years, the human race was nothing more than a humble and insignificant race. There are too many threats in the world, and there are too many that we cannot fight against. The existence of any kind. It is possible for the fragile human race to face a catastrophe. And this is really an unbearable burden for me who has just become a leader. I don't know what to do To bear this responsibility, I don’t know how to face all the dangers that may exist in the future. I even say that I don’t know how to help my people and lead them through the current difficulties.”
"That flood destroyed the hard work of three generations of the Youxiong family. After losing that homeland, the Youxiong family would have no place to shelter, no stable food source, and no place to let people live. Everything we depend on for survival. We tried to survive, but we couldn’t at all, because the plague that accompanied natural disasters has become our most deadly threat. Under such circumstances, I, who was just a mortal at the time, I can’t do anything. I can’t do anything, the only thing I can do is pray. I pray to God, hoping that the gods who are high above can hear my plea, let my tribe go, and give them a way to survive. "
"But the gods can't hear your prayers, can they?"
Zhou Yi, who had heard Smith Zhou's narration, gave his own guess. In his opinion, the man in the linen gown in front of him, who can't see the majesty of the emperor at all, walked the path of one emperor through the ages, the ancestor of civilization, probably because he was forced to do so in desperation. Heaven does not give people a way to survive, and people have to find a way to survive by themselves. Isn't this kind of thing imprinted in the blood of the Chinese people left by this ancestor?
"Yes. No god would care about the prayer of a small human. However, this prayer of mine has attracted an unexpected harvest. Your father, Chisongzi, was born because of my prayer. interest, and thus met me for the first time. It was at that time that I got to know him, and gradually walked on the same path with him.”
Smiling and nodding, Huang Di's eyes were full of memories. Those years were not good for him, because there were too many pains and sacrifices. However, those years were extremely important, and it was impossible for him to forget them no matter what.
It's not that this is the most glorious moment of his life, but that this is the most valuable moment of his life. Although it is only a few decades, its significance exceeds this vain thousands of years. So of course, he will always keep this memory in his heart, even if he looks back now, it is still vivid.
"It's hard to say who dominated our intentions and let us walk together on the road of resisting the gods. Maybe there is my dissatisfaction with the gods ruling the human race, but I think Chisongzi's attachment to ideals also It should be a very important part. In fact, he is a very pure guy. You gave him an ideal, let him identify with this ideal, and he will be able to persevere in the struggle for this ideal, and even say It's at the point of risking everything. Do you know? At that time, if the immortals dared to kill the gods, they would have committed a serious crime. And he was the first guy to do so. His reason was very simple, but he wanted to fight against the gods. It’s just a beginning. Ridiculous, isn’t it. However, this is his choice.”
"He was a man whose ideals were bigger than reality. Once he found an ideal to fight for, he could put all reality behind him. That's why we succeeded, but, that's also why he failed. As It is difficult for a person to be happy if he is too ideal. And how can an unhappy person be called success?"
