Chapter 2681 Gathering
Duran looked at Natsume, a third-rate villain, and knew that he would eventually be abandoned by the Demon King, because Natsume's goal was completely different from the Demon King's goal. Although they could work together to deal with the new hero in a short period of time, they would not be able to help the Demon King in the end and were worthless.
Natsume fought for false reputation, which was far-sighted and without any pursuit.
Unfortunately, Natsume did not listen to Duran's kind words. He had been blinded by stupid and naive ideas and could not see his own path. As a reincarnated person and the prince of the Sword Empire, his goal should be to change the world and become a tyrant who was terrified and could stop children from crying at night. The direction of his sword was the direction conquered by the empire. He had to impose his ambition on everyone, which was a bit interesting.
But Natsume was now entangled with Yamada, just for the sake of competing for the limelight, which was meaningless. What was even more stupid was that he could not see the differences between himself and the Demon King, and really thought that he could achieve his goal with the help of the Demon King's power. This idea was too naive.
Duran thought that the Demon King Ariel and Julius both had their own ideas. From their own perspectives, whether it was saving the goddess at all costs or uniting to break and then rebuild, they were all clear goals. Although they were two different routes, they were both fighting for others, one for the goddess and the other for all living beings. Neither side was fighting for themselves, but the difference in routes led them to struggle.
There were many such struggles in human history, and basically, choices were made through practice. The so-called practice was naturally war.
It was so cruel, but in the past, when humans made choices, there was a tolerance rate, and all the people who died were the price they paid for making choices. But now there is no tolerance rate, and the Demon King's route is to go all in, and all the chips are put up. If you make a wrong choice, there is no chance to start over.
Life is bitter. If you want to get something, you have to lose something. If you want to develop, you have to pay a price. Every time you reach the crossroads of fate, you have to use mountains of corpses and seas of blood to make a way out.
But because of this, Julius can no longer accept the ending of human destruction. Although humans will continue to face choices and make sacrifices in the future, Julius believes that humans should continue to move forward.
Under Duran's education, Julius has understood the endogenous nature of contradictions. Only with contradictions can everything exist. Individuals have contradictions, and society has contradictions, because everything will have its opposite. There is no life without death, no white without black, no movement without stillness...
The opposite is the movement of the Tao, which means that a thing will eventually go to its opposite.
Therefore, human development will inevitably encounter new contradictions and constantly make choices and sacrifices, but contradictions are survival, survival is contradictions, and survival must have contradictions. Contradictions shape survival. Without the grandfather, Julius must go on his own path. The main contradiction of breaking and then establishing is the devil's desperate gamble.
The most fundamental way to resolve this contradiction is to tolerate the devil's contradictions, that is, to make saving the goddess a part of the plan of breaking and then establishing. Otherwise, even if the devil and the spider are killed, the contradiction will not disappear, but will be suppressed. Without the devil, there is still the Dragon Ancestor, and he may come to save the goddess.
Even if the Dragon Ancestor is killed, maybe the goddess's best friend, the goddess's parents, and other relatives of the goddess will come to save the goddess in the future. So it is useless to kill the people who want to save the goddess. Only by saving the goddess can this contradiction be resolved.
Of course, after the old contradictions are absorbed and digested, new contradictions will appear.
"The way to eliminate contradictions is absorption, not confrontation." Julius inherited the teachings of his grandfather and did not hate the spider girl and the demon king who killed his grandfather, because hatred is useless and will only affect his own judgment. The most important thing is to complete the ultimate goal of his grandfather and himself-saving the world.
Julius decided to invite all races to start breaking and then establishing now, because he believes that the main contradiction now is the contradiction between the hope of human survival and the system. Other contradictions, such as racial contradictions and contradictions of revenge, are only secondary contradictions.
The invitation letter was sent to various countries and races. Julius revealed the entire salvation plan to let everyone know the feasibility of this plan.
Natsume also received the letter, because he is now the acting king of the Kingdom of the East Continent, and the regicide prince is just his puppet. After he learned about this plan, he immediately rejected it. What is breaking and then establishing? What good is this kind of thing for him? He is doing very well now, and he is only a few steps away from killing Yamada. Why should he break and then establish?
He is the prince, he is the acting king, and he is also the official hero of the Divine Word Religion. Once he kills Yamada, he will be at the peak of his life. There is no need to break and then establish. After breaking and then establishing, all his advantages will be gone. The national power will be reshuffled, and the heroes will become history. Then all his efforts will be in vain.
Natsume's idea is common among the nobles, because their lives are very good, and there is no need and motivation to break and then establish. This is also a contradiction. To solve this contradiction, the main thing is to make them realize that only by breaking and then establishing can they survive for a long time. If they still don't accept it, then they can only unite some enlightened nobles to kill the opposing nobles.
"You just don't realize that the contradiction between you and the Demon King is far greater than the contradiction between you and Yamada. I have said everything." Duran saw that Natsume really couldn't help him up, so he could only leave first.
Natsume snorted coldly, not caring at all. A third-rate villain would definitely not be able to grasp the main contradiction, and would usually hold on to the secondary contradiction, and only realize that he was wrong until he died. But as long as he didn't see the coffin, he wouldn't cry.
Yamada and his party entered the big maze and the Spider Country, just like returning to their hometown. As long as they paid the toll, they could safely pass through the Spider Country, and if they wanted, they could stop and spend money on tourism, because the Spider Country is also a major tourist country.
Unfortunately, Yamada and his party didn't have time to stay, but rushed to the Fairy Village.
Also going to the Fairy Village was Anna, who left sixteen years ago. She was a half-elf and the first box guardian chosen by Duran. She knew that everyone had to unite now, so she was going back to persuade the Elf Chief to join this great cause of saving the world.
The storm was coming, and the Fairy Chief also realized that those who should come and those who shouldn't come would gather in the Fairy Village. He had to be ready to receive these uninvited guests, especially the Demon King and his party. He knew that the demon king hated him and would not let him go. These stupid guys did not understand the spirit of science at all and would only take scientists as scapegoats.
"It's good that you're here." The elf leader looked at the hemispherical defense barrier outside. This barrier was absolutely unbreakable from the outside. There was only one teleportation array to enter and exit. Using this defense that would never fall, the elves have already stood in an invincible position, and then they would win by being invincible, which would achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Let all the uninvited guests come. It's time to make a break after eight hundred years.
"I have been blamed for eight hundred years. I could only hide in the goblins and do research quietly. Now you dare to break into my territory. This is courting death!" The eyes of the goblin leader became sharp. No matter who comes, don't think about leaving alive. They will all become his experimental materials.
