Chapter One

The jade steps are pure white with two or three crystal clear features. They are made of good materials, and it is rare that each piece is the same size and similar in color.

Level by level, it extends upward from the feet, with almost no gaps in the splicing. It becomes a whole like a sky chain hanging diagonally or a gurgling spring. People can't bear to step on it, for fear that it will break if they put a little force on their feet.

Such a beautiful scene, it hurts my heart.

"Interesting...interesting!" Cohen, who was standing in front of the first step, nodded with an evil smile on his face.

Because he had to take into account the face of the four gods behind him, he finally swallowed the word "pretending to be a ghost". Then, Cohen stepped on the steps hard and jumped with unfulfilled interest. Feilin and Feilin, who were standing beside him,

Bai Ying was not surprised, but this action shocked the four gods who wanted to accompany Cohen to the tower.

When Cohen decided to go up to the tower, this kind of vague flow of color appeared on the jade steps leading to the top of the tower. Although I had never seen it before, it looked like an expression of kindness and goodwill, right? No

I have seen such a person. Others laid out a carpet to greet him, but he still insisted on stepping on the carpet. However, although Si Shen was a little dissatisfied, it seemed not enough to be a reason for condemnation... Fortunately, Cohen did not play tricks again.

, occupying the center position of the steps, and walked up directly.

"Your Highness Cohen." When Cohen stopped, the Fengshen behind him asked: "Are you going to try a new relief today?"

"No." Faced with Fengshen's polite and natural reminder, Cohen unexpectedly shook his head: "I think the relief last time was quite good, and it's worth visiting again."

"Are you really not going to try new reliefs?" Cohen's answer was puzzling. Fengshen almost thought that he had heard wrong, so he had to confirm again: "It's rare for His Highness to come here, and besides, the time is very tight...

…”

Cohen turned around and answered Fengshen seriously: "I'm a lazy person, so it would be best if I could save some energy. Although you didn't tell me the function of the relief above, I think it won't be a problem to go up later."

Although the relief was built by the Four Gods, it is difficult for those who have not been involved in the world inside to understand. And seeing how categorical Cohen said it, the Four Gods could not hold on any longer, but the disappointment on their faces could not be concealed. There have been many times in history

It proves that forcing Cohen face to face usually has no good results.

Following Cohen, everyone turned out of the steps, turned onto the platform, and finally came to the relief.

Cohen stretched out his hand and turned to Bai Ying and Feilin the moment before touching the relief: "This time it may take a little longer. If you wait too long, you can go for a walk or something. Don't worry, I'm going.

It's just a business deal, there's no danger."

Then, without waiting for anyone to answer, Cohen had slightly closed his eyes and moved away from consciousness.

In the past, no matter how hard Cohen worked inside, in the eyes of everyone outside, it was just a matter of a moment. So Sishenben didn't take Cohen's words to heart at all.

However, perhaps it was Cohen's attitude that was a little strange, which made Tu Shen, who always cherished words like gold, realize something. He said to everyone in a deep voice: "It will be a long time. Does the princess want to go down and wait, or stay here?"

?”

"Isn't it the same everywhere?" Feilin absolutely refused to leave: "It's better to just wait here."

"Okay, Princess, please take a seat." The Earth God made a move, and a group of tables and chairs appeared in front of the relief. He began to play a friendly role: "It's still early anyway, so I will tell you the story on this relief pattern.

stop……"

Before he finished speaking, Cohen's figure completely disappeared into the air. Everyone who had just sat down suddenly stood up and looked at each other, their eyes full of shock!

His eyelids trembled, and Cohen was no longer distracted.

The six senses returned to the body, Cohen opened his eyes and found that the darkness around him gradually receded.

And I was standing on a solitary mountain peak. The sea waves were rolling in the distance, and the breeze was gusting around me. When I turned around, I saw a green forest and a simple tree house built on a tree trunk that only two or three people could hug.

Above, a staircase with tangled vines hangs down diagonally to the ground, and low thorny flowers surround the open space under the tree house, forming an oval fence.

"Open the door! Open the door!" Cohen took a few steps forward and shook the rattan fence door vigorously: "Here comes the businessman!"

"Excuse me, please be merciful, that door cannot withstand such a strong force." A soft but not weak female voice came from the tree house: "I know, I know it's a distinguished guest. I don't know, I thought it was a robber."

"You can't blame me. When guests come to other people's homes, the host will greet them at the door." Cohen stopped clapping his hands and scratched the surface with his nails: "And I didn't come suddenly.

I have been in the place of sleep for almost a month!"

"Your Highness, do you blame me for being rude?" The female voice in the tree house came closer and seemed to be walking out.

"I don't know whether you have good manners or not." Cohen chuckled: "But you have to wear the hat of being unsophisticated."

"It's not that I'm rude or unsophisticated, but I'm hesitant about whether to come to see you like this." After hearing Cohen's unceremonious words, the female voice did not reveal the slightest dissatisfaction, and her voice was calm and unruffled.

He stayed at the door of the tree house: "Cohen, are you really not thinking about it anymore? Seeing me now may not be a good thing for you."

"I let you take advantage of me the last two times, but this time I won't be fooled again. If you want to meet, of course you have to meet me." Cohen took back his hand, and the playful smile gradually faded: "If you insist

, I can only imagine in my mind that the source of life is a goldfish or a caterpillar... This idea is very interesting, but are you willing to show it like that?"

Without any further hesitation, the door of the tree house opened with a creak.

The slanting sunlight shrouded a woman. She was tall and wore a coat of quite ordinary color and style, but her face could not be seen clearly. In fact, it was not that she could not see clearly, at least her face was real.

What exists has not changed over time, but after taking a look at it, you will quickly forget what it looks like...

"It's really different from what I expected." Cohen held the fence door and rested his chin on the door edge: "It turns out to be a eldest sister!"

"What do you think I should look like? Could it be an aunt?" She turned sideways, picked up a small basket made of green vines from the tree house, and then walked closer under Cohen's surprised gaze.

Her movements and postures are not beautiful, but they are very kind.

Cohen has seen many women from the light gods and dark demons before. Some of them are pretending to be noble, and some are pretending to be gods. Even the ones at the princess level can't match the charm of this "elder sister". Because no matter how fake gods are,

No matter how graceful the women are, Cohen has to be wary when facing them, fearing that one of them will accidentally get skinned by them - so far, they all have this ability.

As for this eldest sister, every move she makes makes Cohen feel very pleasing to the eye.

Peaceful, generous, non-threatening, and soothing.

But correspondingly, in the face of such creatures, it is difficult for ordinary people to make small calculations in their hearts.

"Want to eat?" She placed the rattan basket on the edge of the door, which was full of bright fruits that Cohen couldn't name.

"We'll eat later." Cohen stood up and said with some dissatisfaction: "Why are you a head taller than me?"

"I am taller than you by more than one head." She opened the door nonchalantly and said, "If you want to be angry about this, I can piss you off to death."

"You have to introduce yourself. You can't have a name, right?" Cohen shouted after her.

If the Four Gods or other gods were present and heard such a conversation, their first reaction would be to be speechless, and their second reaction would be to rush up and beat Cohen to death - for the sake of being a former friend, half to death.

After arriving at a table and chairs in front of the tree house, Cohen realized after sitting down that the table in front of him was a huge tree stump with dense rings of growth rings on it.

"Don't you know who I am?" She sat down opposite Cohen and put the rattan basket on the table: "Usually they call me the Mother Goddess, but I think you don't like to call me that."

"Actually, it doesn't matter what you call it, but some names can be misleading." Cohen picked up a dark red fruit in the rattan basket, shook the water droplets on it and threw it into his mouth: "...it's delicious...just...

I’ll just call you eldest sister... I wonder if those four of your men will hold grudges against me... I think this is not a fantasy in the relief, right?"

"You are so cunning and irritating. You clearly know what the relief illusion is about, so you closed all your consciousness when you entered the relief illusion and forced me to see you here. Why are you pretending to be confused now?" Sitting down.

The source of life opposite Cohen shook his head: "Don't do this again next time. My ability has not been restored. It is very dangerous to capture you here."

"I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of? Speaking of which, eldest sister is not as easy to bully as others think. She knows how to build a pile of rocks on the dividing line and stay away from it. However, eldest sister, you were in the relief illusion last time

I have to hold a grudge a little bit about pretending to be my friend." Cohen smiled, but the movements of his hands did not stop: "By the way, light and darkness, don't those two old bastards know that you are actually living in seclusion here, eldest sister?

?”

"They know that I still exist, but they don't know where I am. They haven't even discovered the sleeping place on the dividing line between gods and demons. The four gods cannot destroy them, but they still have hidden abilities." Life.

Zhiyuan replied: "In addition, they don't know that they can't eliminate me, let alone the consequences of actually eliminating me. This is the most ridiculous part of the whole thing."

"Sister, do you still have their diapers? Can you humiliate them to death at a critical moment?"

"No, because I am the creator of life. If I really disappear...you should be able to imagine the consequences."

"Ah, it turns out that the source of life has this hidden meaning... Then what exactly is this place?"

"Have you not been to Dragon Island? This place is probably similar to Dragon Island. They are secret places that are far away from the sea and cannot be found by others." The source of life explained: "I am quite surprised, how can you see through the reliefs?

Is the picture composed fake or real?”

"It was a bit strange before, but I didn't think about it carefully, but I figured it out before I came in this time." Cohen replied: "The relief exists to extract what is in my heart. Whether it is the environment or the enemy, it is all in my mind.

The product of consideration. You will come up with whatever you think of, and you will encounter whatever you are afraid of... From a certain perspective, this trick is really cruel. Sister, you really like to bully honest people."

"Honest? When did you become an honest person?" The source of life was amused by Cohen's words. Unlike human smiles, the smiles on her face appeared at the same time, without being pulled by the muscles at all, and appeared so evenly.

, from shallow to deep, slowly rippling: "No matter how powerful the tricks are, they are all for self-protection. If there are no evil thoughts in your heart, the relief composition will not cause harm to people."

"That's not right." Cohen shook his head and said, "As long as a human being has evil thoughts in his heart, it's just a matter of varying degrees."

"Your Highness, you mean that there can be no pure and kind people among human beings?" The Source of Life looked at Emperor Sibia in front of him with interest, and asked softly: "Including Your Highness?"

When the source of life asked, Cohen knew that the confrontation between them had officially begun. Although the groundwork had been laid before, this was the first time that he had discussed business with a person of this level. If he were not careful, the prospects for mankind would not be very good.

Wonderful. So he cheered up and dealt with it carefully - to describe it specifically, he held the fruit in both hands, looked up at the source of life and spoke.

"Sister, do you really think that such a human being exists? Stop making trouble and let's talk about business!"

"I'm not joking." The source of life said seriously: "For me... this issue needs to be treated very carefully."

“Why is it important?”

"All the creatures on this continent were created by me." The source of life hesitated for a moment: "I shaped their bodies and gave them life and souls. If there is not even one pure and good person among these lives... I will feel

Very disappointed..."

"That's right, this feeling is the same as mine a few days ago. Oh, you still don't know what happened, do you? Come on, retrieve some memories." Cohen sat up straight and said unusually generously: "Now I know

Right? I was in a bad mood at that time too!"

"Understood." The source of life was not polite. It only took a moment to figure out what happened to Cohen a few days ago, and then retracted his hand: "So, your highness, what do you think now?"

"Actually, the answer is very simple. Just compare others with yourself. Do I have selfish desires in my heart? Do I have any less upright thoughts in my heart? If I do, then what qualifications do I have to demand others to be great?

Where are the saints?" Cohen sighed: "Besides, the existence of human beings in the world is originally driven by desire. When you are hungry, you will have appetite, when you are mature, you will have sexual desire, when you are low in status, you will have the desire for power... these

Something, sister, don’t you deny it?”

"There is no denying that these are all developed from primitive animal desires." The source of life said: "But humans are different from beasts. Isn't one aspect of the so-called civilization based on restraining animal desires?"

"Of course I agree that humans are different from beasts. Beasts behave based on instinct, while humans have rich emotions and wisdom." Cohen nodded: "Different growth environments have given humans different standards for judging justice and evil.

It seems that gods are humans and demons are humans. They think each other is evil... Do you think they are wrong? That's because you are looking at it from the perspective of a third party and you have your own standards of good and evil. I am old

Is dad wrong? Are my ministers who are loyal to the former royal family wrong? That’s from my perspective."

"So, Your Highness Cohen, you want to say that I am wrong?" The source of life thought for a moment and made an extremely difficult assumption: "I shouldn't expect that human beings will have pure existence?"

"I'm not very interested in judging whether you are right or wrong, eldest sister. It's like I don't have the power to decide other people's life or death. However, I can tell you my thoughts, which you can't retrieve from my memory.

." Cohen also thought quietly for a moment before answering slowly.

"Human beings live in groups, and a single human being in the world will inevitably retreat into wild instincts. Therefore, the performance of a single human being cannot be used to evaluate the whole. The shortcomings of this person may not necessarily appear in another person. Or let's be more realistic.

, even if a person is hopelessly bad and wants to eat people all day long, but because he lives in a society, his desires and behaviors will be suppressed by society, and even if he takes advantage of the loophole, someone will take care of him afterwards.

He...is that simple."

"If, as you said, social rules determine everything." The source of life asked: "What is the meaning of my existence?"

"Sister, how do you want to exist?" This kind of laborious conversation made Cohen unable to focus on two things, and he finally put down the fruit in his hand.

"The original way."

"The way of the source of life?" Cohen said with regret: "Believe me, that way is no longer suitable for you, eldest sister."

After listening to Cohen's words, the source of life looked at Cohen steadily. His expression was neither angry nor angry, but the disappointment and sadness after a matter of course was rejected. Cohen looked back calmly, with something strange on his face.

No expression at all.

After a long time, she said in a low voice: "Your answer surprised me."

"I said before I came in that I was here to discuss business. There is a saying that is very apt, business cannot be done without justice, so there is no need for you to be sad, sister." Cohen smiled: "And this so-called business,

It’s not about me personally. The me sitting in front of you is the representative of mankind on the entire continent... In fact, I should represent all intelligent creatures!"

"Since you said that, I have to question it first." The expression of the source of life returned to calmness: "Can His Highness Cohen represent all intelligent creatures?"

"Of course, because they are all under my control now, is there any other person who can represent them?" Cohen nodded solemnly: "Although I am still only the Emperor of Sbia now, in the near future...

…Sister, you know what’s going on. If I continue talking, it will seem like I’m showing off.”

"If I am not mistaken, Your Highness Cohen, you should be entrusted by someone to find me." The source of life is still worried about this issue: "He did not give you the mission to negotiate with me."

"That bastard? No. In fact, what can he talk to you about? Apart from sympathy for each other, the two of you actually have no real intersection." Cohen chuckled: "But I am different from him. I live in the world you created.

In this world, I govern the lives you created, and I have been given responsibilities and missions by these humans... This and finding you are two different things, and they have no influence on each other."

"I don't think there's anything to talk about here, or I need your help to restore the mainland's previous structure, but I won't agree to anything because of this." The source of life refused directly: "I've been waiting for tens of millions of dollars.

Years, I don’t mind waiting any longer.”

"You can wait, but..." Cohen put away his smile: "I can't wait."

"Your Highness Cohen, I know you don't come here with any ill intentions, but why is there a hint of threat in your words?"

"It's so hurtful to say threats, eldest sister." Cohen shook his head: "Actually, I intend to persuade you."

"The God of Light and the God of Darkness said the same thing when they subverted me." The Source of Life thought for a moment and then replied: "Okay, you say it, Your Highness Cohen, I will listen."

"Don't look at me like this, eldest sister, you know I can't beat you." Cohen waved his hand: "Actually, if my guess is correct, eldest sister, you should be the same as the God of Light and the God of Darkness, not similar to humans.

Feelings?"

"You are wrong about this. I do not have as many emotions as humans, but it is just not that rich. As for light and darkness, their emotions are given by me... and there are some emotions that I don't have."

"In this case, the doubts in my heart will be solved." Cohen nodded with enlightenment: "Let's not talk about those two bastards for now, let's talk about you, eldest sister! Before being subverted, eldest sister, you should be in the overall situation.

The top of the continent? I mean power and ability. In this regard, there should be nothing that can surpass you."

"If you evaluate it from this perspective, yes."

"So at that time, eldest sister, how did you manage so many races?"

"I improve the abilities of each race, create a better living environment for them, and judge everything with justice and mercy."

"I'm still a little confused." Cohen thought for a while: "Let's put it this way, eldest sister, you created each race, and then designated the area where each race lives, the abilities it possesses, and the way to survive, right?"

"You can put it this way! I have not specified a way to survive, but each race has to explore and perfect it by themselves." At this point, the source of life showed a faint smile on his face, seeming to be proud of these races.

"Do they have disputes with each other? Will there be a fight?" Cohen paused: "Or, in terms of the capabilities they have, they will have some dissatisfaction?"

"Yes." The source of life nodded: "In the development process of each race, the further back, the more such things will happen."

"Sister, your way of dealing with it is probably to persuade with earnest words, right? If it doesn't work anymore, lock up the troublemakers, just like a place like Dragon Island."

"Is there anything wrong with this?" The source of life looked at Cohen and asked with confusion: "They are all my children."

"How should I put it? If I really point out your faults, eldest sister, my heart will be cut." Cohen stretched out his hand and raised three fingers: "During the rule, eldest sister, you made three mistakes, these are the three mistakes.

Let the mainland become what it is today.” (To be continued)
