The missing person from the Three Eastern Courts has returned.
From their perspective, everything is like an ethereal and nihilistic dream. They came to the Three Oriental Courts inexplicably, pretending to be a being named Huanren, talking, living, and finally leaving with those oriental people they had never seen before but were familiar with.
"Headache?"
Zhou Li sat in the center of the palace, eating the grapes that Eluma handed him, and asked cheerfully: "It's okay to have a headache. You are one of the few illusions that can maintain two sober states." People are lucky enough not to have a split brain."
At this time, Magnum III was sitting on the throne of the emperor, leaning on his forehead, and said with a tired look: "So, this is what you experienced in the Three Eastern Courts."
"Some of them I can't tell you. As for the others, they are everything I experienced in the Three Eastern Courts."
Zhou Li crossed his legs and looked very arrogant, but actually...
Just very arrogant.
“It’s really…”
Magnum III shook his head, with mixed feelings in his heart, but he didn't know where to start. In addition to the ancient secrets, Zhou Li told Magnan III everything about his experiences in the Three Eastern Courts. Including the true purpose of gods and the truth that the world is about to be destroyed.
"Originally, I just wanted to see the stars, but I never thought that this handful of old bones would be tied to the destruction of the world."
Smiling bitterly, Magnum III showed a helpless expression for the first time. He leaned back in his chair, like an ordinary old man, and murmured softly: "Destruction... survival... is really like an opera..."
“Opera requires logic.”
Zhou Li shrugged and said calmly: "But reality doesn't require it."
"Yes, if it were placed in an opera and you suddenly told me that the next scene was about the destruction of the world, and the reason was that two other worlds I had never seen before were about to collide, I would definitely yell and refund the ticket."
Magnum III looked at his gorgeous robes. Compared with himself in the Three Eastern Courts, he was particularly energetic and decadent at this time.
"Are you still yelling for a refund?"
Zhou Li laughed and said, "You can just bulldoze the theater. You are the emperor."
"After the world is destroyed, there will be no difference between my ashes as an emperor and those of a beggar."
After a pause, Magnum III smiled bitterly and said: "It's possible that I'm even darker than a beggar's ashes."
"That's true."
Zhou Li nodded. After a brief silence, he spoke again, but without the teasing tone he had just expressed.
"I want to face the gods."
A few simple characters set off a storm in Magnum III's heart.
"Are you crazy?"
Magnum III frowned and said in a deep voice: "You are already more fearful than a thorn in the eyes of the gods. Now you are facing the gods directly, which is no different than seeking death."
"If this is a standard book about heroes saving another world, you are right."
Zhou Li smiled noncommittally, looked at Magnum III, and said calmly: "Unfortunately, although we live in a two-dimensional world like a book, all of this is real. .”
"Like I said, the work needs to be logical, but reality doesn't."
Zhou Li stood up. Eluma on the side seemed to know what he was going to do. She took a step back and a curtain separated the entire palace from the outside world.
Stretching out his hand, a strange flower slowly bloomed from Zhou Li's hand. This is the purest life energy and the authority left by the goddess of life. Zhou Li raised his head, looked at the silent Magnum III in front of him, and said slowly:
"If it suppresses human civilization, creates killing plans, and continuously squeezes human living space, such a god is destined to be a high-sounding demon, an existence that the brave must resist, and the ultimate villain. Justice will surely judge evil, and it has long been corrupted The gods must be destroyed. Even if it is a tragedy, the sword that kills the brave will be the most wonderful performance of the gods."
Raising his head, the flowers in his hands bloomed with a bright halo, and the crown of the holy tree appeared obediently behind Zhou Li. Zhou Li looked at Magnum III and said the most shocking words in the calmest voice.
"Unfortunately, in the face of the extinction of civilization, even the most cruel butcher in the world may become our strongest ally in the blink of an eye."
"The gods want to destroy humanity."
Magnum III looked at Zhou Li and said seriously: "They imprisoned human thoughts, killed the pioneers who wanted to enlighten mankind, and used disasters to cover up their purposes. They killed many people."
"That's right."
Zhou Li nodded and smiled: "Do you care?"
"Your Majesty Magnum III, do you care how many people the gods have killed and how much evil they have done?"
"You and I are the same kind of people."
Zhou Li stared at the gloomy eyes of Magnum III. He was old, but not stupid. A king who took the kingdom away from his father with his own hands would not lose what he was most proud of.
compromise.
Compromise is never a derogatory term, cowardice is.
"A carriage is traveling at high speed. If you choose to do nothing, the carriage will kill ten people to the left. If you give a warning, the carriage will kill one person to the right."
Magnum III closed his eyes and whispered this famous carriage problem in the judicial world.
"How do you choose?"
Zhou Li looked at Magnum III. He knew the other person's answer, but he still asked out of habit.
"Ten is greater than one."
Magnum III whispered softly as if dreaming: "Ten is always greater than one."
"But···"
"Why has no one thought that the carriage can be stopped?"
"Twelve people, why don't you choose to resist together?"
"twelve?"
Eluma was stunned for a moment. She did the math and found that ten plus one equals eleven anyway.
"The people who make the choice are naturally included."
Zhou Li spoke and said softly: "Twelve people, go against the carriage head-on. If you lose, you will lose everything. If you win, everyone will survive. Even if these twelve people once wanted to kill each other and wanted the carriage to crush each other, Bypassing myself, I want to influence the overall situation and judge the life and death of others."
"But when the sound of the carriage's hooves hits their ears, resistance is also a way to go."
"Go ahead."
Slowly opening his eyes, the gloom and silence in the old man's eyes disappeared. On the throne, the enthroned emperor holds a scepter and wears a crown. The dormant lion tears off the old disguise and reveals its fangs.
"If the gods choose to join forces, we will hit this carriage head-on together."
"now it's right."
Zhou Li looked at the old man in front of him who was holding a sword and wearing armor, and smiled.
"I never knew that His Majesty Magnum III would fall asleep on the throne."
