Chapter 387 Father, it’s time for me to kill you! (6800, first update!)
Chapter 1014 Father, it’s time for me to kill you! (6800, first update!)
I can't bear to see people suffering.
I feel a bit ashamed to say that I didn’t care much about the life of mortals before. My status as the Sun Bird and the Prince made my life very boring. But the life of a mortal is even more boring when I think about it. I rarely look at it.
They are, not because of contempt, but because of my indifference.
Until one day, I was extremely bored, so I walked out of the imperial capital and came to the surrounding plain towns. Just like a child looking at ants, I wanted to see the lives of ordinary people.
After all, these ordinary people are the people that Grandpa calls the people, the beings he cares about most; they are also the ignorant people that his father calls, and they always make him disappointed and worried.
Therefore, I want to see with my own eyes and experience for myself why these people, who are smaller than ants when I fly in the sky and stand on the top of the mountain, make them so obsessed with me.
I saw a lot of things that made me feel uncomfortable.
I saw a couple. The man was working on the farm, cleaning up excrement, picking up eggs, and cleaning the grounds. The work was extremely hard, while the woman was doing laundry. From morning to night, her hands were soaked and turned white. They were just making hard money day and night.
.
I listened to their words and learned that their children were studying in the Imperial Capital. The tuition fees were expensive and there was still a big gap. Their children were very sensible and studied hard and worked part-time in the Imperial Capital, but the money was never enough. They planned to find another candle workshop.
I can earn more money for my children's living expenses by doing work like rubbing wicks for candles, even though their bodies seem to me to be reaching their limits and they are squeezing their own lives.
"There's nothing wrong at home, you study hard."
I saw a young man who came to the Great Plains from other places with the intention of coming to the imperial capital to work hard. He worked day and night in the quarry, and half of the money he earned from his work was given to the local gang, and a quarter was given to the guild.
He saved his meager salary and calculated the amount he wanted. His eyes reflected the moon in the sky, shining brightly.
“If you save enough money, you can go back to your hometown and buy a piece of land!”
I also saw a young girl who had younger sisters at home, her mother was seriously ill, and her father was missing. She wove rattan cages and set up a stall for sale, and she also skillfully matched some beautiful wild flowers. The stall was quite exquisite, but the business was never good.
, and the patrolling city guards drove her away and even extorted her, taking away her meager reward. After a tired day with nothing, the girl could only force a smile when she returned home.
"It's okay...my sister will sell somewhere else tomorrow, she will always have better luck..."
there are more.
The messenger who ran errands and delivered letters worked hard for a week, but was owed wages and was driven out of the village by the villagers; but this village was because several of its children were stolen by traffickers, and now it is resisting the entry of all outsiders. Those parents
The sound of crying makes me upset.
As I walked along, there was no crisis that could threaten 'order' or destroy 'social survival' in a real sense. The stability of the empire and the majesty of the royal family will not be affected by these 'little things', but hard work will in turn be affected.
Workers who extort money, vendors who hawk their goods on the street but have their goods confiscated by the city guards, petty officials who abuse their power... These people and things happen in every corner of the earth. Under the shining of the light, they are not novel at all.
There is also a group of children who were stolen by human traffickers. They were stunned in a remote farmhouse. According to the traffickers, the buyers behind them seem to be very powerful. They are a little afraid of being silenced, but the entire organization is under control.
Now, their family and children are being monitored, so they have to do it.
Haha, bad guys all have worries, and they damn deserve it.
I helped, arrested, and rescued all of these people.
I returned to the imperial capital, supervised and reviewed the scholarship issuance of Gilel College, and arrested a group of Ministry of Education officials and college leaders who had embezzled scholarships.
I mobilized the Metropolitan Procuratorate to carry out a crackdown on gangs and cracked down on a group of gang bugs that were entrenched in people's bodies and sucked blood.
I bought all the rattan cages made by that girl, and told her that every year, a group of students from the Royal Medical College in the Imperial Capital would come to the city for free clinics to practice their skills. If you don't mind, I could introduce her to a doctor.
As for the group of human traffickers, I caught them all and followed the clues to find Viscount Hank behind them. He was in cahoots with Fei Yan Di and was conducting vicious biological experiments and was in urgent need of a group of children of the right age for experiments.
Product, I happened to come across it.
Judging a nobleman is relatively labor-intensive, but it is not a big deal to me. In short, the messenger's money was obtained, and the parents who lost their children also cried with joy.
I am very happy that I can help many people solve their problems. Although it is not my intention to make the battle so big, at least everyone is happy and my uncomfortable heart is relieved.
My father did not praise me, but acquiesced to my behavior. My mother encouraged me, but told me not to be so self-assertive next time. My eldest brother looked at me with strange eyes, my eldest sister was indifferent to it, and the other younger brothers and sisters did not need to admire me.
Look at me with indifferent eyes.
"Let him do it," my father said, "This is his mission."
I really don't want to see people suffering, but when I went on a long journey for the second time, I still saw a lot of scattered sorrow and suffering.
The same goes for the third time, the fourth time, the fifth time, and every subsequent time.
At the beginning, I could still use my power, face, and my father's acquiescence to solve these things... But soon, I discovered that these things cannot be solved completely. The whole world is like this, full of hardships.
Pain and suffering.
I can solve it once, but not every time. The empire is not my toy. The power does not belong to me as the prince, but to my father. I cannot eradicate these things.
I really don't see people suffering. I don't really sympathize with or pity those ordinary people from the bottom of my heart...I don't even know them.
To tell the truth. A mean word.
It's just because I live so happily that I feel uncomfortable when I see unhappy things, and I want to make these unhappy things disappear quickly so that I can be happy again.
It's like thinking there is a stain on the white wall and wanting to paint it off as soon as possible.
——Don’t let these things stain my eyes!
I roared in my heart. This feeling was like walking into the kitchen and seeing a poor lamb blinking at me. I have eaten too many sheep, but I saw this sheep with my own eyes.
I couldn't bear to eat it, so I asked the chef to let it go.
The chef let it go. The next day, I didn't go to the kitchen.
I ate the second lamb.
I just don't want to see this kind of thing happen before my eyes. As long as it doesn't happen before my eyes, I can forget these things and live happily.
But I am the sun bird.
Wherever the light goes, how could I not see it?
I even once expressed my thoughts to others while chatting with other noble peers.
I hate to see people suffer.
This is really a bit pretentious to say, and there will definitely be people of the same age laughing at me behind my back. For a prince of an empire to say that he 'can't see others suffering', it's really a bit too pretentious. If I really can't see people suffering,
Then why not leak a little from between your fingernails and give it to the poor who are suffering?
We are all nobles, and I am still a prince. Why am I pretending to be a big-tailed wolf?
I did ask my father this question, and he asked me if I was a little powerless now.
I said yes, I felt that my strength was insufficient and my power was insufficient. It seemed that I couldn't hold anything, and all my thoughts flowed through my fingers like water, and I couldn't hold it firmly.
My father told me to remember this feeling of powerlessness and then become stronger. As for those sufferings, regard them as nourishment for me to become stronger. When I really become a strong person, I will then think about whether to help ordinary people with my own hands.
.
I feel confused, I don’t understand why when encountering this kind of thing, the first thing we need to do is to become stronger - we are the royal family, aren’t we? Isn’t it that we manage the entire empire to solve various problems in the empire?
Those gangs, those corrupt officials, those antiquated and even rebellious nobles with ulterior motives...each of them is an enemy of our rule and will affect the authority of our rule!
My father told me that I was absolutely wrong. The empire is our tool of rule, and we are not the nannies of our subjects. In other words, we have provided our subjects with the largest and most critical protection, that is, the protection of force.
My father told me that our names are just the royal family, emperor and prince. In fact, our "imperial power" does not come from officials, the army, any ministers or supporters, and it does not come from the people.
It comes from the blood, from the light flowing in our bodies.
We are not so much a royal family as we are gods walking on earth, a supreme being who cannot be overthrown or defeated by uprisings.
The authority of the empire only lies in its power, and the existence of the empire itself is a constraint on him, rather than him using the empire to manage ordinary people.
He is the one bound by the empire.
I asked my father, is this why we don’t care about people’s suffering? Because we will not be overthrown, so we can exploit them with peace of mind and sit back and watch them suffer?
My father told me that all the wealth of our Setar royal family was obtained by the royal family with its own hands. No matter whether it is 100 million citizens, one billion citizens, or 10 billion citizens, they cannot go to the moon to collect nuclear fuel.
There is no way to go to Mercury to collect high-purity natural source crystals, and there is no way to go to the asteroid belt to obtain the rarest mineral raw materials.
My father told me that the taxes collected by our Setar royal family have been completely used to maintain the empire itself three generations before my grandfather. The royal family does not take a penny, even the operation of the imperial capital and the fuel it requires.
Energy and various things needed for maintenance were all collected by him, the emperor, himself.
My father told me that if I really don't want to see people suffering, I might as well ask those stupid people why they exploit and oppress each other - the royal family no longer even collects agricultural taxes, at least not on the Quinal Plain in the imperial capital. Other nobles collect them.
, that is their power, and the gang's exploitation is also an organization created by themselves.
If I really wanted to understand, I had to witness it.
So I went to witness it.
Over the past few decades, I have gradually come to understand the rules of how the world works and the source of all suffering.
I began to understand that even if there were no sublime beings in this world, no gods walking on earth, no sun birds, no Gnostic Academy and Ministry of Truth, no emperors and nobles, people would still oppress each other and fight against each other.
Exploitation.
This is not something that only happens because of sublimators, it is something that is bound to happen in human society.
This cannot be blamed on my father, this is the inevitable outcome of our current social form and level of civilization.
Our productivity is not enough, our morals are not up to standard, and our thinking level is still very primitive, which is why we have these intolerable things.
So, how to change it?
After seeing through this, the actions of great-great-grandfather, great-grandfather, grandfather and father are all very simple - they are all using their own methods to transform the society. Everyone has made mistakes and suffered hardships, and those closest to him have made mistakes and suffered hardships.
My grandfather even fell down before succeeding.
He successfully changed the problem of productivity from not enough to too much, so much so that I started to think about how I could reduce the number of people dying if farmers across the empire were unemployed.
I stand on the top of the mountain and look down at the people below who are still like ants. I still can't bear to see people suffer, but now I feel powerless every time I take action. I can't see the future of the world we live in, and I can't find the right way to transform the world.
I even discovered that even my unwillingness to see others suffer was probably the result of my father’s transformation of me.
Maybe I was originally a cold and heartless 'little tyrant' who didn't care about mortal life and death, but just wanted to live in my own world and obey my own desires. But now, I am called the most benevolent prince.
I feel like vomiting. This world is boring and uninteresting. It is full of problems that are difficult to understand at a glance. Yet I am actually the prince of the largest country in Terra. And the most terrifying thing is that I actually want to fight for the throne and master the throne.
The greatest power to transform this society and the world.
Obviously I haven't thought of any way to achieve my wish, but I still want to do it.
I feel like I'm crazy, and the craziest thing is my father.
He wants to directly brainwash and transform all mankind, using the simplest, most direct, and best way to utilize his power and wisdom to transform the world and human society.
[This is not wrong. I believe that if all mankind has a consensus and can understand and recognize each other, then many conflicts and exploitation will disappear. When people give up excessive selfishness and cooperate with each other, greater benefits will inevitably be created]
[I believe that after this brainwashed generation dies, the new generation will usher in a peaceful and harmonious society]
【but……】
In a state of confusion, Mikael's light body, a curled-up bird of light, opened its eyes.
What flashed in those eyes was not firmness and determination, but a great fear: [But, is there really only one generation?]
[Even if my father really only wants to brainwash a generation and leave a clean world to the people of Terra, what about me? Will I agree with my father’s brainwashing consensus? Will I start a second brainwashing?]
[If I hadn’t inherited the throne, would my eldest brother recognize my father’s consensus? What about my eldest sister? What about the other younger brothers and sisters? Where are my heirs and their heirs? 】
[There will always be people who are dissatisfied with the current world, dissatisfied with the current order, dissatisfied with the current consensus of mankind, dissatisfied with their hearts not obeying the vision in their hearts - so they start another brainwashing!]
[Brainwashing all mankind, we have opened the magic box of all disasters - will the fifth-level powerhouses in other countries imitate us? Is there really no one who would not use this simple and direct method of controlling all citizens?!]
[I oppose this kind of brainwashing precisely because I have been brainwashed by my father since I was a child - if, if I were the original me, I would be the original, indifferent, sun bird who does not care about human beings and does not care about people's suffering.
', instead of being a benevolent person who was reshaped by my father's thinking since childhood, labeled and imprinted with compassion for all living beings, do I really... care? 】
[I have long been able to untie the mark on my soul, but I dare not... I am afraid that my true self, the real Sun Bird, is a 'madman' who does not care about any life... I even understand my father
, If I became the emperor, I would also... I would also do it]
[Mark your children with the mark of ‘kindness’]
——So, is this my true self?
In the chaotic time and space composed entirely of ether, the golden divine bird trembled, and his forehead flashed with a '?'-like mark. That was Tianlu Long's doubt, which originated from the authority of the ancestor true dragon.
Powerful, combined with Mikael's strength and will, allowed him to reach the limit of immortality.
But at the cost, Mikael questions himself.
Question your own heart, your dreams and wishes, question whether you are right or wrong, whether you can imprint yourself in the ether without any regrets, and then be sure that that is the real, true, eternal and immortal ‘I’.
Mikael can do this - he is a true genius and the most powerful person in this generation of the Setar royal family. If he inherits the blood of the throne, he will surely realize immortality immediately and become a worthy person.
A man stronger than the leader of a great country.
But on this last step of imprinting his immortality, he was confused.
Is it me who has been transformed by my father and is the 'merciful, capable and full of martyr emotions', or is I the completely complete 'Sun Bird' who may have been suppressed all my life and has never shown any true qualities?
.
If a person is put on a mask by someone else and wears it for a lifetime, other people think it is him, everyone thinks it is him, and he himself thinks the mask is his original face, and even the mask has been completely integrated with his face.
.
So is his real face still his 'real face'?
Outside the Steel Dragon's Lair.
The flare phenomenon became chaotic, and countless lights went out of control, piercing the dark clouds around the Steel Dragon's Lair, causing Ian, Adlbert, Xio and others who were responsible for managing the aftermath to frown.
"Let Scott be careful and control the shield array of Xiahui City."
After being warned, Ian took a deep breath, stared at the steel dragon's nest filled with the sun in front of him, and murmured to himself: "This guy Mikael has succeeded every time in reincarnation. Could it be that there is an extra me, but instead
Will it fail?"
"I told him too many truths and made him worry. Is it too much to think about?"
Because of Mikael's assistance, Ian could actually vaguely sense the current state of the second prince - the other prince's mind was shaking, and his doubts about himself made Mikael hesitate. He was almost successful, but
It's also about to fail.
Having said that, even if he had known that the result would be like this, Ian would still do this and tell Mikael more truth.
Because only Mikael, who has endured all this harshness and still succeeded, can have the strength to transcend the history of reincarnation and create a different ending!
But now, all Ian can do is believe in Mikael.
He believed that the truths he told Mikael would not only bring difficulties, but also become his strength.
Inside the Steel Dragon's Lair.
At this moment, Mikael slowly calmed down despite the absolute chaos.
No, it's not peace...but death.
At this moment, Mikael's consciousness gradually became thinner, and his thoughts, self, obsessions and desires were all slowly dissipating. Whether it was the joy of his childhood or the doubts of his youth, everything was there.
Crush it bit by bit, turning into sparks in the light.
And the testimony of youth and the determination of maturity are gradually being burned away like water under the sun.
This is a failure, but it is not really a failure.
It's Mikael's own choice.
——If life cannot let me make a choice.
He thought so.
——Then I might as well let death make me realize it.
Everything was shattered under the wash of pure light, and all doubts, worries and fears were reduced to nothing before the real death, the absolute fear, and became meaningless.
Existence and continuity are the source of all meaning. If you die and everything turns into nothingness, does it really matter whether your mask is really you?
Soon, in the endless flames, the golden divine bird almost disappeared, and the sun in the steel dragon's nest also became restless, and at any time it would explode and scatter like those nirvana sun birds.
Published a lot of materials related to the newborn Sun Bird.
only.
At the very end.
There is also a mark representing doubt, and a small golden flame burning in the center of the sun.
That is a doubt.
【Are you really willing? 】
The doubts originating from Tianlu penetrated the last remaining trace of Mikael's heart at this moment.
At this point, he finally understood——
If he really died, would he really care about something as trivial as whether he was himself?
If he wants to face eternal destruction, what exactly must he do and achieve?
[I...don't care. I don't care if I am myself, I don't care who can do it. Even if I die, I perish, and everything about me disappears, my power must be passed on and transformed into
The spiritual energy drifting in endless time and space comes to those who have the same wishes and dreams as me, but lack the power]
【They are me, I am them】
【I want……】
[Let everyone understand their own true intentions, so that everyone no longer needs to suffer]
【This is what I never want to forget】
This is the nature of Chosen Psychics.
This is the source of the radiance floating in endless space and time.
This is...Mikael.
His nature, original intention, persistence and dreams.
The eternal true spirit that is immortal and immortal.
boom!
Steel Dragon's Lair.
The light stopped.
Then, the extremely dazzling sun bloomed, just like a flower bud blooming, shooting out countless fine rays - and these rays all changed directions in mid-air and returned to the center of the flower bud. It looked like there was an extremely huge
The giant opened his hand of light, and after growing to its maximum size, he gathered his five fingers together and clenched them into a fist.
Then, the sun shrank, condensed, and condensed into a young figure with two wings on its back and three rings of light behind its head.
[I see, this is the nature of immortality. I finally understand why I am obsessed with fighting against my father]
The figure closed his eyes and whispered to himself: [Because, father, you have been brainwashing yourself and resisting your true nature... You are forcing yourself to endure the pain of suicide, just to achieve what you do not want.
dreams come true]
【Father……】
Opening his eyes, Mikael's eyes were like two suns at this moment, but they were even more blazing. Under the gaze of these eyes, all the colors faded and turned into pure light.
Adlbert, the weakest person in the field, subconsciously turned his head and closed his eyes, but this was completely useless, because the extremely arrogant light passed through the flesh and bones, making everyone's vision pure white.
He turned his head and looked in the direction of Ian. The newly born fifth-level powerhouse smiled slightly: [I am going to fulfill my mission, Ian Yinfeng, I hope you can also walk on your road]
"always like this."
Looking at Mikael, Ian, who has collected all the data related to the opponent's advancement, nodded slightly: "Then, don't lose too quickly. Wait a little longer to figure out Axel's real purpose."
"I will help you at the critical moment."
Mikael did not respond to this statement.
He just smiled, and then turned into a ray of light, penetrating the time and space between the Silver Peak Territory and the Imperial Capital——
Then, a determined will, condensed in Ruguang's thoughts, pierced the imperial capital's planetary shield beam!
