The sun gradually moves to the top of your head. If you are exposed to the sun, you will directly feel the increase in temperature. But if you are walking on the coast, you will feel cooler because of the sea breeze. Of course, if you are walking barefoot on the beach
If you are watching the waves beside you, wearing a big straw hat made by elves on your head, and holding a juicy honeydew melon in your hand, you will not only feel cool, but also feel very comfortable...
Because the topic discussed before was too heavy, causing "both parties to discuss the business" to be depressed and angry at the same time, Cohen suggested a change of environment and mood, and this was how we had this very romantic walk along the coast. Sunshine, beach, and waves were on both sides.
With deliberate avoidance, the various details about the rebellion of light and darkness were not mentioned again.
"That's right." After walking about a thousand steps, the source of life's expression became much calmer and he slowed down a little: "His Royal Highness Cohen once said that I made three mistakes. I don't know which ones they were?"
"First of all, let me state that I am a small emperor of an empire. I am not qualified to comment on your character, eldest sister, etc." Cohen took a sip of honeydew juice and yelled twice: "The mistake I mentioned only refers to eldest sister.
You were negligent in managing the various clans. After all, we have been pretending to be a gangster for a few days, and finally gained some experience in playing tricks on our subordinates."
"His Royal Highness Cohen is indeed glib." After listening to Cohen's humorous words, the source of life smiled: "It is normal for others to point out mistakes, at least for me, why do you use the method of dealing with light and darkness?
Where is it with me?"
"Frankly speaking, this is my true character! The so-called, legendary revelation of true feelings, eldest sister, where do you think I got the title of gangster?" Cohen chuckled: "Okay, let's discuss yours first, eldest sister.
First mistake."
"Okay." The source of life stopped: "Use your words, I am all ears."
"At least in my opinion, eldest sister, your creation of life is a feat. From the time you created the Four Gods to the creation of human beings, there is nothing wrong in the process." Cohen said seriously: "But, eldest sister, you have to know that creating life is a feat.
Relying on compassion and managing life by relying on rules are two completely different things...or, in other words, they are two completely opposite things."
"Why, is it really not possible to guide them with kindness?"
"Sister, the rules themselves are cold and are used to intimidate those being managed. No matter who dares to touch the rules, they must be punished, and they must be punished accordingly." Cohen shook his head: "That's not the case.
Saying that every life will violate the rules does not mean that all races will definitely degenerate...but we have to admit that every life has desires, and desires will prompt them to change. At this time, if there are no rules,
After being shocked, they will naturally fall into depravity. To use a very simple analogy, I can steal food without being punished by walking ten steps, so why should I work and sweat?"
"Aren't they ashamed of stealing?"
"Shame? Yes, of course it is the first time, but is it comparable to sweating and crying in the wind, rain, snow and snow? A moment of shame is exchanged for a year of comfort. Which end of this business is more profitable? Do you think all races really
Are you stupid?" Cohen raised the honeydew melon, drank the juice in one gulp, and then threw the melon shell into the sea: "On the surface, the existence of rules makes some people punished, but if we think about it from another perspective, every time the rules are violated
When an offense is committed, it protects everyone except the offender..."
"Your Highness Cohen, I have actually made rules before."
"Frankly speaking, eldest sister's rules are useless, and the only rules she has are destroyed by eldest sister herself." Cohen interrupted the source of life: "If the dragon tribe makes a mistake, just bring the dragon tribe back to you, or bring other races that have made mistakes.
Send it to the open sea, just to prevent the war without punishing the cause of the disaster. Sister, this behavior of yours is not kindness, but partiality and connivance."
"Can everything be managed with strict rules? Will children be happy if they live under such rules?"
"I'm really convinced. Sister, you are really stubborn. Yes, I said that kindness and rules are two independent things, but I never said that these two things cannot exist at the same time. For all races, kindness is indispensable.
, rules are even more indispensable!" Cohen shook his head: "Okay, let's talk about happiness now. Of course, eldest sister hopes that people of all ethnic groups can live happily... but we know that this will never be realized!"
"If someone is happy, then there must be someone who is unhappy. Even for a pure bystander, seeing others unhappy is a kind of happiness for oneself." Cohen did not give the source of life a chance to interrupt: "Because happiness and unhappiness
Happiness requires comparison. Without a reference, this definition will be blurred or even disappear... Even if you do it one day, sister, and make all your people happy, then in the next moment, they will lose it.
I lost the concept of happiness and even felt lifeless.”
"You mean... you have to let some children live in misery before other children can experience happiness?" Obviously, the source of life cannot accept Cohen's argument: "Since they share the sun, rain and dew, they share the joy.
The earth nourishes us, why can’t we be happy together?”
"Sister, you just talked about plants, but I'm talking about people, people with wisdom and desires!" Cohen sighed: "Unfortunately, sister, you will never see the so-called common happiness in humans.
, This does not exist in theory or practice. I have said that things always need to be compared. Some people are rich, and some people will be extremely poor;
The land, the territory of the elves will shrink..."
"No! There must be other ways." This time, the source of life's tone was stronger, and it could be seen that her emotions were fluctuating.
"Sister, don't get excited. What I'm telling you is the truth. In fact, everyone understands that there is no other way. There are only so many resources, but our desires are increasing as we explore the world." Cohen was not surprised by her attitude, but laughed.
Liao smiled: "Actually, I think... for the races on the mainland, this is actually not a bad thing."
"Your Highness Cohen, you really surprise me. This situation is not a bad thing?" Even the source of life, which was extremely kind, showed dissatisfaction with Cohen's words at this time.
"Let me tell you all. All these things can be summed up in two words - competition!"
"Between races, between empires, between families, and even between two people, they are all full of this kind of behavior. This is not a bad thing, but a way for us to progress!" He knew that his words were consistent with the source of life.
There is a conflict of ideas, but Cohen still insists: "Comparison creates gaps, gaps lead to crises, and crises will be transformed into motivation for progress - Want to have wealth? Then find more advanced ways to make money than the rich! Do you want a woman? Then
Just create your own source of charm! Do you want power? Then prepare a faster and more effective plan!"
"Why is this necessary, why is this..." The source of life shook his head: "Is the emergence of life for this purpose?"
"What we are discussing now is management and governance. Don't dwell on philosophical issues anymore, okay? That's too hurtful." Looking at the face of the source of life, Cohen decided to lighten the atmosphere and not mess up the subsequent business:
"Sister, this kind of thing is not static, especially when some things sound scary, but in fact they are not that scary."
"If applying rules is the only way, how can things change?" The source of life's depression finally stopped temporarily. She looked at Cohen: "Your Highness, are you going to overturn your argument?"
"Theoretically speaking, it is certain that misery and happiness exist at the same time. But in reality, these two fates are not unchangeable, at least they can be made to flow through individual behavior... that is
It is said that people who are miserable today will be happy tomorrow because of their hard work; and people who are happy today may be miserable tomorrow for some reason... Therefore, you can regard this happiness as a reward. And being miserable
Well, to be honest, today’s miserable standard might have been happy a hundred years ago!”
"Is this why my children fight with each other and bleed thousands of miles away?"
"Okay! Sister, you finally asked a constructive question!" Cohen immediately began to stand at attention, applauded, and did a decent job: "Yes, this is the reason for competition, but it is not the reason for the bloodshed. It caused them to bleed in vain.
The reason is because they are stupid."
"Stupid? How stupid can an intelligent being be?"
"It's one thing to be smart, but it's another thing to be stupid, okay?" Cohen shook his head: "I just talked about theory and practice, but there is one thing I haven't mentioned yet, and that is the operating techniques. If your child is good enough,
If you are smart, they should know that in this matter, the ultimate goal of the operation is to reduce the probability of tragedy to an infinitesimal level. In fact, other than killing and killing each other to exterminate the other party, your children have no choice at all.
I have explored other methods. This gives light and darkness an opportunity to take advantage of. Isn’t this stupid?”
"They haven't had enough time yet..."
"There is definitely enough time!" Cohen said firmly: "It was your nanny-style management that suppressed them, eldest sister."
"Is this... is this my second mistake?" A look of surprise appeared on the Source of Life's face, which remained frozen for a while before showing signs of dissipating. It was obvious that he was not used to Cohen's way of talking.
Cohen nodded.
"Appreciate further details."
"Sister, you always use the term 'child' for them, but you don't regard yourself as their mother, but as a nanny, a meticulous nanny." Amid the tiny waves, Cohen said sternly: "But the child
To grow up normally, he needs more than just a nanny, or in other words, he only needs a nanny in the initial stage. After this stage, either he should let them go and let them learn on their own, or else he should hire a nanny for them.
Lots of mentors.”
"It sounds like this is a method used by all races, right? It's not a hard-to-understand reason."
"Of course all the tribes understood it, but they only understood it after leaving the direct protection of eldest sister. Unfortunately, eldest sister, you didn't understand this at that time, and you still used the nanny method blindly." Cohen walked barefoot on the beach.
There are large and small figures painted on it: "And, the eldest sister is not only like this to all races, but also to light and darkness."
"If you don't guide light and darkness, they can't guide all races. The living environment of each race prompts them to have desires, which then develop into corruption. Then, this corruption turns into behavior, from quantitative change to qualitative change, which affects other people
.It’s no wonder that the light and darkness were rebelled by all races, and the eldest sister was rebelled by the light and darkness... I think that when these two old bastards rebelled, they must have thought that the cause they were engaged in was just, and they were even full of hatred in their hearts.
My love for all ethnic groups..."
"If His Highness Cohen did not insult the word 'love', I would feel better." The source of life raised his head from reminiscing and immediately praised Cohen: "Speaking of which, His Highness is very eloquent and has good thinking.
Coherence... There are even many words and phrases that can accurately express the meaning in the memory that His Highness asked me to extract. In the past, I always felt that I had no clue when I thought of this kind of thing. Now, after His Highness reminded me, I can think of more... I am still like this, my
The children are even more immature."
"Sister, are you kidding me? I'm just a little kid. How can He Dehao remind you? The false gods have been destroyed for so many lives. Sister, how many years have you been practicing in seclusion? During this period of time, what nonsense questions can't be answered? What if?
If it were me, my personality would have split into thousands of petals, and I could just hold a party every day." Cohen was not satisfied with such praise: "I'm sure that what I said has already been thought of by my eldest sister. To be honest, I
I don’t like my elder sister’s way of testing people.”
"Your Highness, don't take it to heart. Even if I can think of it, it's different from His Highness's idea. In fact, what I think of is much vaguer." The source of life denied Cohen's guess: "Besides, Your Highness will be there when he gets here.
Talking about business, what kind of business is only allowed for His Highness to use all his strength while I have to hold my hands? This is very unfair!"
If there are other people present, they will be shocked by these words from the Source of Life: What kind of world is this? The infinitely noble Mother Goddess actually talks about business with gangsters!
"Okay, since we're talking about business..." Cohen nodded: "Let's talk about business now."
"Are you getting to the point so soon?" The source of life is obviously not used to Cohen's jumping conversation: "Light and darkness still firmly control the fate of the entire continent, and Your Highness Cohen, you are not sure of defeating them. At this time
Isn’t it really too early to talk about business?”
"There are many people, including me in the past, who only look at the immediate future and do not think further, so it leads to tragedy. So this time, I plan to plan it more perfectly." Cohen smiled, which was quite profound.
Unpredictable meaning: "Defeating the false god is a prerequisite. Of course, we have to discuss all the details with my eldest sister, but I think it is better to finalize some things now."
"In that case..." The Source of Life also smiled: "Didn't His Highness say that I made three mistakes? I haven't mentioned the third one yet!"
"The third one is related to business. It's too troublesome to divide it into two, let's do it once!" The smile on Cohen's face deepened, and he actually looked a bit cunning as a businessman: "Sister, what do you think?"
"If His Highness insists, I won't be able to object."
"Okay, I just like the straightforwardness in my eldest sister's character!" Cohen turned the straw hat on his head: "We now assume that the false god has been defeated..."
"What will happen to light and darkness?" The source of life seemed to be more concerned about this point, so much so that he interrupted Cohen's words.
"I'm assuming!" Cohen couldn't laugh or cry: "Sister, can you please cooperate?"
"Feel sorry."
"Well, let's assume that the false god has been defeated, and there is peace on the continent, with singing, dancing, and joy..." Cohen blocked the mouth of the source of life with a long list of descriptions, and then carefully touched on the topic: "Snatched by the false god
The power returns to eldest sister, then, eldest sister, what will you think at that time?"
"Idea." The source of life didn't understand for a moment: "What idea?"
"I mean, sister, if you regain your strength, what are you going to do?" After asking this question, Cohen did not make any other actions, but quietly looked at the source of life.
"I will comfort my children first and tell them all the truth, and then." The source of life was silent for a moment, then looked back at Cohen and said slowly: "His Royal Highness has a very practical understanding of life and advocates
The management method seems to be the most effective at present. I would like to ask His Highness to join me in taking on the important task of teaching all ethnic groups, and I hope His Highness Cohen will not reject me."
"Me?" Cohen pointed to himself: "You want me to manage life on the continent, including all human beings?"
"Yes. His Highness also has desires in his heart, and he should be very suitable for this position." The source of life nodded.
"Do you think I can manage it?"
"How will you know if you don't try it?"
Only a few feet away, the two looked at each other. Although Cohen's face was as calm as water, the source of life did not look like he was joking at all.
As time passed, waves surged onto the beach, washing away the footprints left by the two of them. After a long time, the expression on Cohen's face changed, and he smiled slightly. It was very natural, the look of the source of life.
Just follow Yi Song.
"You are wrong." Unexpectedly, Cohen said this sentence: "This is your third mistake."
"My third mistake?" the source of life murmured again.
"Your children, their lives do not belong to you, their freedom does not belong to you, and their lives do not belong to you..." Cohen's voice was not loud, and even seemed to be drowned out by the waves, but there was something in it.
The meaning was clearly transmitted to the consciousness of the source of life: "You, the source of life, have no power to arrange the fate of your children. Similarly, I, Cohen Keda, do not have this power."
"After tens of thousands of years, light and darkness have collapsed. Sister, do you want to arrange a new god who is above all mankind to manage them?" Cohen shook his head: "What if this god is me? I
Facing dozens of races, large and small, can I do better than light and darkness? How can I control it? Should I destroy temples and demon temples, and then build a temple to serve me? That's not as good as what we have now
pattern!"
"Could it be..." At this point in the long conversation, the source of life finally understood the business that Cohen wanted to discuss, and his tone became sharp for the first time: "Your Highness Cohen, do you want me to withdraw voluntarily?"
As soon as he finished speaking, wherever he looked, the waves broke away, everything was silent, and even the flow of air stopped!
"Actually, sister, you have thought of quitting for a long time." Cohen said calmly: "I just expressed your thoughts."
"If I...can't take care of the children..." Between heaven and earth, only the source of life's sleepy words remained: "What else can I do..."
"Or." The little hooligan stretched out his hand to hold the hand of the source of life, and replied calmly: "You can bless them."
"Although we have big differences, please believe that I am not angry with His Highness." The source of life said softly: "Just like I allow Your Highness to express my views, please give me enough time.
I have a hunch that this is not something that can be settled in one meeting."
"I'm not busy." Cohen said with a smile: "I will come often." (To be continued)
