Ye Chen felt that there seemed to be a hint of sadness in her eyes, as if she had some bleak past.
"What kind of world we want to build, I don't know yet."
"My previous idea was to build a reincarnation heaven. I would be the master and set the rules. The good ones would receive my blessings, the evil ones would be judged, and all things would live in the order of reincarnation."
"Oh, this idea is actually very crude. I rarely think about these issues because there is no need."
"If you want to end chaos and establish a true and ultimate order, you must at least become the overlord of the heavens."
"And now, I haven't even stepped into time and space, so how can I talk about becoming a hegemon?"
Ye Chen also answered very seriously, his eyes were clear and decisive, without any confusion.
He is not obsessed. If he thinks too much about these illusory questions, he will definitely confuse his Taoist mind.
Heaven is in good health, and a gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement.
What Ye Chen wants to do now is to continuously improve his combat effectiveness and eliminate the enemies in front of him.
Zilan looked at Ye Chen's firm but indifferent eyes, and seemed to be touched, and said quietly: "Really? You are in such a good mood, but I can't do it anymore."
Ye Chen frowned and said, "What's wrong, Miss Zilan?"
He saw that when Zilan mentioned these issues, there was obvious depression between her brows.
Ye Chen had also seen similar looks like this in the eyes of the little grass god Qingyan.
Qingyan, the grass god, looks like a seven or eight-year-old girl, but her eyes sometimes reveal a sad look of vicissitudes of life.
It is the pain of thinking about the nature of the world but not getting the answer.
Now there is pain and depression between Zilan's eyebrows, and she obviously hasn't got the answer.
Zi Lan gently stroked the trunk of the World Tree and said faintly: "Once upon a time, I built a huge world to control the heavens, time and space."
"In the era of my rule, no one in the world dares to claim to be supreme, no one dares to say that he is invincible, because the real supreme overlord, the real invincible, is only me."
"Hmm...no, there should be someone else in that era who could compare with, or even surpass, me at my peak."
"That is Emperor Yuan Tian."
"Haha, but at that time, Emperor Yuan Tian wanted to pry into the secrets of the other side of the starry sky. He was seriously injured and fell into a deep sleep. I thought he was dead for a while."
When mentioning the past, there was a domineering look like the supreme empress in Zilan's eyes.
That was the aura she cultivated in the past when she killed countless people and dominated the heavens. Even today, there is still a trace of majesty left, which is heart-stopping.
Ye Chen did not doubt Zilan's strength at her peak.
Because she is the first-generation Grass God, born in the world originally created by Chaos, and is the only person in the world besides Emperor Yuantian who has seen the Creation Green Lotus.
In her bloodline, there is spiritual energy warmed and nurtured by the Green Lotus of Creation. Her talent is extremely powerful. It is only natural that she can dominate the era and achieve the highest level.
"After I came to hegemony, I saw endless killings in the sky and the suffering of all living beings, so I wanted to build a world without disputes, wars, and killings, and where all living beings should be equal. The strong could no longer bully the weak, and the weak also had the right to survive."
"I planted the World Tree and extended its roots and tentacles to every corner of the sky. I can see everyone's inner thoughts. As long as someone has the intention to fight, I will warn them."
"My will accompanied the World Tree and covered the heavens. I finally established a world where all living beings are equal and there is no fighting."
Zilan murmured, looking up at the branches and leaves of the World Tree, her eyes blurred for a while.
This world tree entrusts her with her original long-cherished wish, which was to pacify the world, make all living beings equal, and no longer suffer any oppression or pain.
"Have you seen everyone's inner thoughts? It's amazing."
Ye Chen sighed in admiration, but there was also a hint of a wry smile on his lips.
If he was given a choice, he definitely didn't want to live in the era of Zilan's rule.
Because having your inner thoughts seen through by others at any time is not a pleasant thing.
Zi Lan listened to Ye Chen's praise, but she smiled sadly and said, "Am I great? But, in the era I ruled, my people were not happy."
"I thought that if I built a world where all living beings are equal and have no disputes, they would be happy. But to my surprise, most people were unhappy. Instead, they blamed me for prying into their hearts."
Ye Chen hesitated for a moment and said: "It is not good for you to pry into other people's hearts without their consent."
Zi Lan argued: "But, I am doing it for their own good!"
Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "This is not a reason."
Zilan lowered her head and murmured: "Really? I obviously did it for their own good, so why didn't they appreciate it? I didn't know how to be grateful. I was very sad at that time."
"Everything I do is for my people, but my people are never grateful to me. Instead, they want to plot a rebellion and overthrow me."
"When I first started, I killed all the potential traitors. I didn't want to kill people, but potential threats would contaminate the foundation of World Tree, and I had to eliminate them."
"But, later on, more and more people opposed me, and I couldn't kill them all..."
At the end of the story, Zilan looked very miserable and helpless. She obviously didn't want to kill her people, but in order to maintain the purity of the World Tree, she had no choice but to do it.
However, even if she kills her, she won't be able to kill all her opponents because there are too many people who resist her.
Ye Chen's expression moved slightly and he said, "So, you were overthrown in the end?"
Zi Lan nodded and said: "Yes, they killed me, trampled my body to pieces, and cut off the World Tree."
"Many years have passed since these things happened, and I have probably figured them out a bit."
Ye Chen asked: "What have you figured out?"
Zi Lan sighed and said: "The human heart is the most complicated thing in the world. Even if I exhaust all the changes in the Book of Wisdom, I still cannot gain insight into everyone's inner world."
"The mystery of the human heart is something that even the book of wisdom cannot answer."
