Lan Ling was really surprised that Prince Mo Tuo would come to visit him.
So he had to stop his trip to the Witch King's City and leave the Witch's King's City with his mother and son, Zhen Ning, Fang Qingzhuo and her daughter.
Although Yishin, the high priest of the Holy Demon Palace, didn't say anything, her eyes were really full of reluctance.
To be honest, Lan Ling has never seen such a look in his eyes, it is too pious and too fanatical.
This look is like the most infatuated woman looking at her lover who is about to leave for a long journey, feeling extremely reluctant to leave but unable to keep him. It is also like a left-behind child in the countryside looking at his parents who are about to go out to work, feeling extremely reluctant to leave but unable to keep him.
This is the power of faith!
Previously, Lan Ling felt that the Witch Kingdom was as loyal to him as the Centaurs.
But now he knows that the people of the Witch Kingdom, especially those in the Holy Demon Palace, have much deeper faith and loyalty to Lan Ling.
The Centaur tribe only knelt down and worshiped after Lan Ling showed some kind of divine power, while the Witch Kingdom's faith and loyalty were completely unreasonable.
They regard themselves as both the Demon Emperor's women and the Demon Emperor's daughters.
In short, this is an extremely profound and extremely complex emotion, and it has been deeply rooted in their blood and genes and will never change.
So when Lan Ling walked in the city of the Witch Kingdom, he deeply felt that he was a god, especially in the eyes of the priests of the Holy Demon Palace and the elderly women of the Witch Kingdom.
The young warriors of the Witch Kingdom would look at Lan Ling with curious and provocative eyes, full of girlish excitement and boldness.
The way the elderly citizens of the Witch Kingdom looked at Lan Ling was truly beyond words.
"I will come to see you often." Lan Ling couldn't help but reach out and touch the head of the great priest Yixin.
"Yes!" The eyes of the seventy-year-old white-haired and red-faced high priest showed an intoxicating and happy light, and then he bowed down deeply.
…
Returning to Yanmo City, Lanling met the Prince Mo Tuo!
This is an elegant man!
Well, this is a very, very elegant man!
"Xiaobai, Crown Prince of the Mortuo Empire, pays homage to His Majesty Lan Ling, Emperor of the Flame Demon Empire!" Prince Mortuo saluted Lan Ling meticulously.
Xiaobai, this is his name.
In fact, the names of big figures from the demon clan are usually very down-to-earth.
For example, the name of the little Rakshasa King was originally Tangren, but was later changed to Tangren. The name of the prince of Tiansha was Xiaodao, while the name of the prince of the Motuo Empire was Xiaobai.
On the contrary, an illegitimate child like You Ming needs to be given a name that looks noble but does not make him feel powerful.
"Say hello to your father." Lan Ling said, "Please sit down!"
After the two sat down, Gou Li served tea beside them.
Prince Mo Tuo said: "I have come to visit His Majesty Lanling rashly this time. I have a few questions that I need to ask you for advice!"
Lan Ling said: "Please say it, but maybe I will disappoint you."
Prince Mo Tuo said: "First question, what do you think is the ultimate goal of a civilization?"
Lan Ling said: "I think it should be survival and freedom!"
Prince Mo Tuo's eyes turned hot and he said: "Your Majesty's words really touched my heart, and they speak the true meaning. All actions, all wars, and all production of a civilization are ultimately for two goals, survival and freedom. The so-called
Freedom means liberating all kinds of imprisonment. For example, in the early days of humankind, people used manpower to hoe the fields. They wanted to free their hands to prevent themselves from being so tired, so they used cattle to plow the fields. This is a kind of freedom. For example,
When we walk on the ground every day, we like to observe the ground from a height of more than one meter to less than two meters, which is very limited. We go climbing, and after climbing the mountain, we still feel that it is not high enough, so we want to fly, so we tame all kinds of
The flying monsters want to liberate our horizons and see farther and higher. The primitive human country found that gathering could no longer feed so many people and could not survive, so it learned to farm."
Lan Ling said: "When a world can no longer survive, they need to be able to go to another world."
Prince Mo Tuo said: "So all civilizations are for survival and freedom. But some people say that the ultimate goal of any civilization is only one, and that is eternity. What do you think?"
Lan Ling said: "In a sense, this view is correct. But it is very pessimistic. It is as if a person's focus is death, and death is eternity."
Prince Mo Tuo said: "Death is eternity and the end. This is true whether it is for a person or a civilization. This sentence is completely impeccable. What do you think?"
Lan Ling shook his head and said: "Reincarnation is eternity, and death is just a link in it. For example, a person will definitely die. But the children and grandchildren he gives birth to are the continuation of life. Even if a world is destroyed,
It is also brewing the power of rebirth. Even if the entire universe is completely destroyed, it will explode again after countless years."
"Bah bang bang..." Prince Mo Tuo applauded and said: "I often argue with Naxue. Her view is that eternity is the ultimate goal of life or civilization. I disagree, but I can't win her argument.
.The theory you mentioned has given me great inspiration.”
"It's a pity that our point of view cannot be proved, because there is no absolute truth in this world." Lan Ling said.
Prince Mo Tuo said: "Then let me ask you the second question. Which do you think is more important, survival or freedom?"
Lan Ling said: "There is a poem that says love is precious and life is more valuable. If it is for freedom, both can be thrown away."
Prince Mo Tuo smiled slightly, raised his cup and drank the tea.
Lan Ling said: "This poem is very noble and great. Both the person who wrote this poem and the person who practiced it are very great people. In any world, they are like torches, shining brightly.
Show the way forward. But... in the final analysis, survival is more important than freedom! No matter whether it is politics or civilization, there is no room for romanticism!"
Prince Mo Tuo poured the tea himself, toasted to Lan Ling and said, "It's so late to meet you!"
Then, he asked: "Then let me ask the third question, which stage of survival and freedom are the demons in now?"
Lan Ling said: "Survival, to be precise, is seeking survival!"
Prince Mo Tuo said: "Thank you so much, Your Majesty Lanling!"
His words really explained the endless complex emotions and secrets.
When Lan Ling said this, it was equivalent to affirming the current situation of his Motuo Empire and confirming all the strategies of the Motuo Empire towards the Dragon Temple at this time, and did not put the Motuo Empire into the ranks of traitors of the demon clan.
No words can describe Lan Ling's inner shock and amazement at this time.
What is the most difficult thing in the world is to defeat someone ideologically and to make another person agree with your thoughts.
From the very beginning of the conversation, Prince Mo Tuo controlled the entire rhythm.
The first question is, what is the ultimate goal of a civilization, survival and development, but it can be extended to survival and freedom. Development is to liberate one's body and spirit.
The second question is, which is more important, survival or freedom? Of course, survival is.
The third question is, what stage are the demons in now? Of course, it is the stage of survival.
After three questions, Prince Mo Tuo completely settled the tone in front of Lan Ling. The Mo Tuo Empire was in line with the justice of the demon clan, even if it had an ambiguous relationship with the Dragon Temple at this time.
"The fourth question is a personal question. You can choose not to answer it." Prince Mo Tuo said.
Lan Ling said: "Excuse me."
Prince Mo Tuo said: "Who do you think is more powerful between the ancient dragon and the ancient gods and demons?"
Wow!
Lan Ling's heart is really amazing!
I have never seen such a... such a powerful person!
Such an amazing talent, not even the people of the Tang Dynasty can compare with it.
This problem alone was a fatal blow to Lan Ling! It even made it impossible for Lan Ling to stand up!
Lan Ling thought for a while and said: "The dragon should be more powerful!"
There is no doubt that this is the absolutely correct answer. This cannot be completely denied just because Lan Ling chose to become the Demon Emperor.
Look at the Aurora Gate, then look at the Dragon Temple, the Sky Temple, and the ultimate power on the moon, which are the disciples of Shenlong. They are not even a little bit more powerful than the demons. And most of the time, the demons are just a mess and doomed.
The Emperor of Heaven and the Emperor of Doom are just short-lived.
Even in the sky, the dragons and gods are more powerful than the ancient gods and demons.
Then here comes the problem!
The demon star is a combination of the wills of the divine dragon and the gods and demons, so the wills of the divine dragon and the gods and demons must compete for the control of the host?
So why do you think the more powerful Shenlong will lose?
Since the will of the divine dragon will win in the end, why do you think that the so-called Lord of the Demon Star is the Demon Emperor and can fully represent the will of the demon civilization?
And history has indeed proved that the will of the dragon finally won the final victory!
This is irrefutable!
After Emperor Etian destroyed the Sky Temple, on the eve of his counterattack with the ultimate power of the Moon Dragon Temple, he suddenly disappeared without a trace, causing the once glorious Demon Empire to vanish into ashes.
Emperor Doom tried to use the power of the stars to bombard the Sky Temple, but the power of the stars destroyed the entire capital of Doom into ruins.
The key is that the starry sky magic weapon is controlled by the Emperor of Doom alone. He is the only one who knows how to use this object to kill the Sky Temple, and he is the only one who knows when to kill it.
Why did the power of the stars hit directly the second before Emperor Doom destroyed the Sky Temple, destroying Emperor Doom and the Demon Capital of the Empire of Doom into ruins?
There are many things that cannot be thought about in detail. Thinking about them in detail will simply make your hair stand on end. This is what makes people think deeply.
Prince Mo Tuo did not say a single word of what was behind this. Instead, he bowed deeply to Lan Ling and said, "Thank you for your candid words."
Then he stood up, bowed to Lan Ling again and said, "Thank you for your hospitality and for talking to me without any pretense. I'll take my leave!"
Lan Ling said: "I'll give it to you!"
"I don't dare..." Prince Mo Tuo said.
Then Lan Ling sent him to the gate of Yanmo City.
"You stay!" Prince Mo Tuo said: "I sincerely invite you to visit the Mo Tuo Empire at the appropriate time. My father is very eager to meet you."
"What an honor!" Lan Ling said.
Prince Mo Tuo hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty Lanling, please be sure to pay attention and be careful about the traces of the Dragon Temple!"
Lan Ling said: "Okay, thank you!"
Prince Mo Tuo said goodbye and headed directly towards the sea to the west. This sent a signal to Lan Ling that he would go directly north to return to the Mo Tuo Empire!
…
When they returned to Yanmo City, Tang people were already waiting here.
The two of them were silent, and no one spoke.
"Have you ever dealt with him before?" Lan Ling asked.
"No!" Tang Ren said: "But... he makes me feel inferior to others. His talent is far superior to mine, no matter in every aspect."
"Yeah..." Lan Ling said: "It's so amazing. This is the first one I came to this world. He directly criticized me theoretically and my Flame Demon Empire, making his
The Motuo Empire has become the only hope for the demon civilization. And the key point is that I have no room for refutation!"
Tang Ren said: "To be honest, after listening to his words, I was almost shaken for a moment. My loyalty to the Flame Demon Empire and my hope for you were shaken! Especially the last question he asked, who is the dragon or the god and demon?
More powerful?"
The world is like this. If you are defeated in the highest sense, it is equivalent to having your muscles and bones ripped out.
This is just like in 1971, when the People's Republic of China officially replaced Taiwan's Republic of China and became a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council.
This is tantamount to being completely rejected in name!
Of course, the debate between Prince Mo Tuo and Lan Ling did not reach this level of lethality, but it was very similar.
Tang Ren said: "Your Majesty, have you been affected?"
The people of the Tang Dynasty were very concerned about this issue. If Lanling, as the supreme lord, was defeated mentally and spiritually, there would really be no hope for the future.
Lan Ling shook his head and said, "Of course not!"
Tang Ren said: "Why not? Because his words are completely irrefutable?"
Lan Ling said: "I am not interested in any theory, any doctrine, or any ideal to revitalize the demon civilization. Any doctrine or theoretical weapon is just a tool for me. Use it if it suits me. Use it if it doesn't suit me.
Throw it aside. Under my leadership, there may be a revival of the demon clan in the future, but that is just an accessory to my personal desires. For me, there is only one goal, kill the Dragon Temple, and everything that stands in the way of this goal
Everyone in front of me will die. As for any great ideals and the like, I'm very sorry. We can talk about it after I destroy the Dragon Temple."
Tang Ren was stunned. He opened his mouth for a while but couldn't close it. It took a few minutes for him to say: "I...Japanese!"
Lanling said to the Tang Dynasty: "You will be frightened by Prince Mo Tuo because you read too many books and think too much."
Tang Ren said for a long time: "I discovered that only those who treat history like a bitch can create history."
Lan Ling said: "Of course, if you worship a woman like a goddess and put yourself in a humble position, of course it will be difficult to sleep with her."
The Tang man was silent for a while and then said: "I...Japanese!"
