Perhaps Y'zaks is not the only monarch in their world who is interested in the universe. In any world, there will always be people who look up at the stars, but Y'zaks is definitely the one with the most action - and the most action-oriented one.
A decisive one.
When he realized that it would be difficult to explore the boundary of the space bubble area with the power at hand, or even with the power of the entire demon race, and the turbulent wars in the world would seriously interfere with his exploration, he thought that he must bring the entire
The world unites into one camp, not for any false righteousness or sacred mission. It has only one purpose, and that is to see what the real universe outside the space bubble area looks like.
Unknowingly, from the beginning, he simply wanted to expand his territory, and gradually became interested in the universe itself, and felt extremely disgusted with his mediocre first half of life and the same mediocre world. He used
It took hundreds of years to change his mind, and this is an area that no demon has ever thought about before. He summarized his changes like this: "The more I see, the more I realize my ignorance, and I begin to
I am in awe of the entire universe and can’t wait to uncover its secrets—and it will take all the energy in the world.”
If it were other races, or those "standard heroes" that only appear in religious stories, they would probably choose a righteous slogan when trying to unite the entire world, and choose to use a sacred name to call people to unite.
Use diplomacy and justice to achieve this great goal. But Yzaks will not do this. He is a demon, a simple and crude demon king. So he chooses a simpler and cruder method:
He decided to overturn the whole world.
And he almost succeeded.
"Justice slogans and diplomatic rhetoric are weak things," Yzaks spread his hands and looked at what he did back then with a devil's world view, "I may have failed. But I feel that my initial route was right.
.I began to integrate all the races I could rule. I invaded the human kingdom, invaded the elves' forests and the dwarves' iron castles, and also invaded the territories of other demons. But the difference from before is that I no longer go to war to enslave those races.
What I need are subjects, loyal, civilized, intelligent subjects who can understand my ideas. I established a symbiosis city in the world of demons. I create an environment suitable for each race to live in and treat them equally.
"It was difficult at first, not because the enemy was powerful, but because it was difficult for demons to understand the way of thinking of other races and to coexist peacefully with other creatures. Even I was no exception: I tried to take care of those aliens.
, but I found that I could only scare them. So I started to learn about the culture of other races...
"It was a wonderful experience. No demon has ever tried to understand the words 'culture' and 'art'. Maybe I am fundamentally different from other demons. I was deeply fascinated by them, and soon
Immerse yourself in it.
"After absorbing enough cultures of various races, I issued a decree and became the first demon king to formulate a complete legal system. I decreed that all races in my kingdom have equal status. I ordered them to survive for the same goal, except
In addition to enjoying the highest degree of freedom, I ordered that demons, as a strong race, must protect those weak but intelligent races. To ensure that my scientific research projects can proceed smoothly, I also formulated 'moral regulations based on the cultural consensus of all races.
'.Any race living within the borders of our kingdom must abide by these moral codes to ensure the order of the entire society.
"Those who violate the above regulations shall be subject to the death penalty."
Hao Ren felt that he had a deeper understanding of Yzaks' approach. Again, he was a devil who practiced the standards of a saint, but the converse was also true - he was a saint who acted in a devil's way. He
He is a tyrant in another sense: a moral tyrant.
Humanity will probably never have such a ruler. Only the devil's unique thinking circuit can create an alternative individual like Yzaks.
"How should I put it...Actually, you still took a detour," Hao Ren considered his words, "Your method of doing things is too rough. Although it does work, it only works for demons. Other races are very complicated -
Especially humans..."
"By the time I discovered this, my empire was already crumbling," Yzaks smiled bitterly. "Enemies were everywhere, both inside and outside the empire. All the kingdoms in the world were declaring war on me. They gave me a nickname,
Some people call me the 'Mad King', and some call me the 'Mad Demon King'. The various races outside regard me as a conspirator who intends to destroy the world, and many races within the community have begun to split due to various inexplicable reasons. Some races
People are still loyal to me, but more people rebelled for some reason. The most terrible thing is my fellow demons - they cannot allow a 'moral scum' like me to appear among the demons. At the beginning
, they can’t defeat me, so they keep a distance, but when I’m in trouble internally or externally, they attack in groups.”
Yzaks sighed, and the expression on his face suddenly became strange: "The most ironic thing is that my hometown has finally established an unprecedented coalition of forces, humans, elves, dwarves, dark elves, orcs... unprecedented, almost all in the world
All races have united to form a joint force that has not been seen in tens of thousands of years. The alliance of all races that I have always dreamed of has finally been established in front of my eyes - to kill me."
Yzaks picked up the bottle of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
Hao Ren was affected by this thrilling and heroic history, and couldn't help but pick up the wine glass, but Y'zaks held him down smoothly: "Don't worry, just listen to me. You can easily kill yourself with your drinking capacity.
…”
"I'm not that good," Hao Ren chuckled, raised his neck to drink the wine, and muttered with a twitching corner of his mouth, "I just don't like this, it's not that I can't drink."
Then he raised his eyes and looked at Yzaks. After hesitating for a long time, he finally told the truth: "Actually... I have something I don't know whether to say or not."
"Go ahead," Yzaks grinned, "You're still polite to me."
Hao Ren's advantage is that he is honest: "You were a bit short-sighted back then."
Yizhak was stunned for a moment. He stared for a long time before suddenly bursting into laughter: "Haha... you are really..."
Yzaks laughed so hard that he was out of breath. The noise was so loud that even the cat upstairs was frightened and fled out of the second floor window. Vivian, who was busy stewing the children at the door, shouted hello outside.
One sentence: "What are you doing?"
Yzaks waved his hand to stop laughing, and suddenly looked at Hao Ren seriously: "You are right, I am just short-sighted and think about things too simply. Looking back now... I find that integrating the world
It’s really not suitable for a devil to do this.”
"It has nothing to do with the devil, you are too impatient," Hao Ren waved his hand, "Take your time, you are just trying to live for 18,000 years, why can't you slowly push it one by one, country by country? Anyway, wait for the older generation.
After they die, the rest must be obedient people, so why do they want to destroy the whole world in one fell swoop?"
Yzaks was stunned and knocked on his bald head: "It would be great if you were my military advisor. My military advisor is just a joke. It's okay to fight local wars, but you can't plan the overall situation. Alas, it's all in the past.
It’s okay, bring this dry egg.”
Hao Ren asked cautiously: "What about your daughter you just mentioned..."
He saw that the topic of Yzaks was getting further and further, involving hundreds of years of war history, so he brought up the original topic.
Yzaks sighed heavily: "Dead, the last demon brigade that followed me, and my last obsidian city fell into the crack together... It happened a year ago. After that, I wandered around in a daze for a while.
, was caught by other demons, and then was saved by a passing Xiling God, and then came to your side..."
Yzaks's voice became lower and lower, and he finally sighed: "Alas...hundreds of years of glory and huge ambitions are all in vain now. The world is too big and we are too small...Maybe I am real
You're wrong, you really think too much, you can't even protect your own child, and you want to conquer the entire universe, hey, you're so short-sighted."
"boom--"
In the sky outside the window, a ball of fireworks exploded, and thousands of families reunited under the light.
Hao Ren and Y'zaks sat opposite each other, and he reached out to pat the latter's shoulder.
But at this moment, there was a sudden noise from outside the door, and Lily's whirring voice came in:
"Landlord, landlord! I blew him up with one blast!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
