Chapter 424 Demon King
The night in Cardsius did come very quickly. An hour ago the sun was hanging very high, and an hour later it was already setting and the sunset was beginning to bloom. The group finally found a hotel where they could stay before the sun completely set - it was located near the city wall in the inner city. It was quiet, not afraid of being disturbed, and relatively clean.
The food provided by the hotel was not to everyone's liking, but the group had eaten dry food all the way in the devil's space. Now that they finally had some normal meals, they didn't care too much. Hao Ren had nothing to do after dinner, so he went to the terrace on the third floor of the small hotel to enjoy the evening breeze, but found that Yzaks was already on the terrace.
This fierce man who went wherever he went seemed to have something on his mind. He stood on the edge of the terrace, crossing his arms and looking at the city scenery in the distance, as if he was lost in thought. Hao Ren came to the other party's side and looked at the city of Cadesa under the setting sun - the last ray of golden-red sunlight was shining slantingly on the city, the sky was dim, and the houses and streets full of otherworldly style were coated with a layer of It had a metallic luster, and Yzaks seemed to say to himself: "What a view."
It was difficult for others to guess what Yzaks was thinking, but as a very emotional human being, Hao Ren couldn't help but think of the girl he met this afternoon, the human soldier named Kevin. Looking at the quiet and peaceful city of Cadesa under the setting sun, he imagined what it would be like ten years ago when Yzaks led the army to invade here.
"There are very few things in the world that can be clearly defined as right or wrong. In the final analysis, even the concept of 'right and wrong' is subjectively determined by humans." Hao Ren sighed, "You have great ambitions and want to bring the entire world onto the right track. You want to seek a longer-term future for all races around the world, so you are right, but look at the scene in this city - so many people, fighting for the common people, traffickers and pawns, their happiness is three meals a day, peace and quiet , they want to protect their ordinary lives and traditions, and are even willing to resist the devil for this, which is correct."
Vivian's voice suddenly came from behind, and she came to the terrace at some point: "You can lead the world to the future, but most people don't care about this future. In their limited and short life, you can lead the world to the future." They only see tens and hundreds of years of peace and happiness. They don't care about the stars, the sea, or the truth of the world. What they care about is their wives, children, children, food, clothing, housing, and transportation. If someone infringes on these trivial interests, they will risk their lives to fight. Human beings on the earth have the same mentality. The lifespan of the long-lived species will be constantly disputed due to different opinions, and in this world... the lifespan of the long-lived species is several times or even dozens of times that of the short-lived species. As you can see, after a moment, most of the people in this world People think the future is several generations away, and even if you tell them your ambitions, they will not accept this future that has nothing to do with them.”
Yzaks turned his head, and the afterglow of the setting sun cast mottled shadows on his face. He was smiling: "But you still support my original theory."
"Yes, you are right," Hao Ren shrugged, "It's just that they are also right."
"There is no right or wrong in the world. I've known it from the beginning. If the King of Madness doesn't even have this awareness, why should I stand here?" Yzaks raised his head and silently watched the last ray of sunlight disappear into the mountains. On the other side, he seemed to be counting the time, and then he turned around and looked in the direction of the red clay plain opposite the mountains, "Look, the sunrise, the most magnificent sky in the Cardsius plane, is coming." .”
Hao Ren followed Yizhaks and looked towards the end of the horizon of the red clay plain. There seemed to be a screen of light floating slowly on the undulating plain vista. At first he thought it was the moonlight rising, but soon he realized The scale of this light curtain is far greater than that of the moon!
A slightly arc-shaped light that spans the entire horizon suddenly rises from outside the horizon, rising slowly as if the sky is being pulled up. This light appears very soft compared to the sun. It is even brighter than the moon. A dull shimmer, but breathtaking due to its scale. The light curtain slowly rose, and Hao Ren finally saw that it was another celestial body - a celestial body that could cover half of the sky!
As it slowly rises into the sky, dim and soft light shines on the earth. The arc-shaped light curtain shows the outline of a planet. It has a chaotic appearance, with cloud belt-like structures on the surface of the planet. A ring was formed, as if a storm was brewing beneath the ring that spanned the entire planet.
"What is that?!" Hao Ren exclaimed.
"Amu," Yzaks crossed his arms, bathing in the dim light of the new star, "Also known as Amu, it is a gaseous planet. I estimate that its size should be comparable to Saturn in the solar system. , but the 'climate' is milder. The Cadsius continent under our feet is floating in the orbit of this gas giant planet. In fact, the Cadsius continent is also the remains of a broken planet. A new planet has not yet been formed due to the effect of roundness. It is currently a slightly arc-shaped space continent. Unless there is no accident, other parts of this planet should have fallen into the atmospheric storm of 'Amu'. Perhaps We can also find some clues from those cloud belts left millions of years ago. Buried deep in the Caddisus continent is a powerful 'gravitational tumor', which may be the high-density space that caused the planet to break. Matter, it destroyed the original planet Caduceus, but created enough gravity on the remains of the planet to preserve the latter's atmosphere."
Hao Ren opened his eyes wide, shocked by the incredible existence of the land under his feet, and even more shocked by how many puzzling wonders this world could show. Yzaks continued to explain this expressionlessly. The situation of the plane: "The continent of Cadsius moves in the orbit of 'Amu', maintaining a nearly tumbling 'rotation'. Whenever the sun sets from the west, 'Amu' will rise from the east. This is the unique spectacle of the Caddisius continent, the rising sun in the sky. So the nights on this continent are never completely dark - just like my seventh plane, there will always be a huge planet lighting up the night sky."
Hao Ren sketched the strange celestial phenomena in this plane in his mind, and finally choked out three words: "Why?"
"Yes, why?" Yzaks looked up at the magnificent cloud crown of "Amu", "Why is Caduceus broken like this? Why are there so many fragmented planets and incomplete galaxies? Why do these exist? It should never be a naturally formed wonder? Why is space cut into vesicles that are isolated from each other, and why are there so many space gates connecting these planes together? Why do these vesicles evolve after being isolated from each other for countless years? have interconnected ecological systems? Why can we not see the starry sky, but can find traces of starlight radiation in some ancient minerals? Why is the size of the universe calculated by the little old man so weird? "
Yzaks threw out so many reasons in a row that Hao Ren almost became dizzy. Finally, he hugged his chest and looked up at the sky: "So I want to know why - I am the most powerful creature in the world, and I don't want to Crawling on the surface of the earth without knowing anything, so I will march towards the sky and use the power of the whole world to push myself into the sky. I deserve to know all the truth, and those intelligent creatures who do not want to crawl on the surface of the earth also deserve to pursue These truths.”
"So if I could turn back time and give me another chance, I would raise an army again and sweep across the world, because I know there is no other way to make the world work for me," Yzaks He lowered his head and looked down at the entire city, "And if they were given a chance to come back, they would still unite and form a large army to protect their homeland and tradition. No matter how many times it happens, we will still be like this, and we will still be heroes. Hero, devil or devil, the only difference is probably their victory or defeat."
"I have seen many immortal species," Vivian looked at Yzaks deeply, "You are the purest one. Indeed, as you said, there is no right or wrong, everything is just because you want to do that, you That's all you need to do. It seems that no matter how many times you repeat it, the world will not be able to tolerate you."
"Of course," Yzaks smiled silently and shrugged, "so I am the Demon King."
Hao Ren returned to the room, turned off the lights, and watched the soft light from "Amu" spill into the small hotel room through the wooden lattice window. He was deeply fascinated by the endless secrets of the infinite world, which made him feel that even if he came to this world and did nothing, just taking a tour, he would gain a lot.
A call came from the spiritual world. Hao Ren opened his personal space and placed a large fish tank on the ground. He carefully fished Doudou out of the water and walked to the window holding the little guy.
Doudou happily looked at the world outside, slapping Hao Ren's arm happily with her tail, and raised her finger to point to the "Amu" that covered almost one-third of the sky: "Big moon! Big moon! Let's go to the big moon." On the moon!”
"If you have the chance, Dad will take you to more interesting worlds," Hao Ren said, patting Doudou's tail. "I signed this contract... it's great!"
