Perhaps Itzhax is not the only monarch in their world who is interested in the universe, and there will always be people who look up to the stars in any world, but Itzhax is definitely the most action-oriented - and the most decisive one.

When he realized that it would be difficult for him to explore the boundaries of the Spatial Bubble Zone with the strength at his disposal, or even with the power of the entire Demon Race, and that the wars in the world would interfere with his exploration actions, he thought that he had to unite the entire world into one camp, not for any false righteousness, not for a divine mission, he had only one purpose, and that was to see what the real universe outside the Spatial Bubble Zone was like.

Unconsciously, he had gone from simply wanting to expand his territory to becoming interested in the universe itself, and feeling extremely disgusted with the mediocrity of the first half of his life and the whole world that was equally mediocre. It had taken him hundreds of years to change his mind, a realm that no demon had ever thought about before. He sums up his changes this way: "The more I looked, the more I realized my ignorance, and I began to be in awe of the whole universe and couldn't wait to uncover its secrets - and that would require the power of the whole world." ”

If it were other races, or the "standard heroes" that only appeared in religious stories, when trying to unite the whole world, they would probably choose a slogan of righteousness, and choose to use a sacred name to call people together to achieve this great goal with diplomacy and justice. But not with Yitzax, he's a demon, a simple and brutal demon king. So he chose a simpler and cruder approach:

He decided to turn the world upside down.

And he almost succeeded.

"Righteous slogans and diplomatic rhetoric are weak things," Itzhax said, spreading his hands. Looking at what he did in the past with a demonic worldview, "I may have failed." But I don't think I'm on the right path at the beginning. I began to integrate the qiē races that I could rule, I invaded the human realm, invaded the elven forests and the dwarven iron castles, and invaded the territory of other demons, but unlike before, I no longer went to war to enslave those races, I needed subjects, loyal, civilized, intelligent, subjects who understood my ideas. I established the Symbiosis City in the Demon World. Create an environment suitable for each race and treat them equally.

"It was difficult at first, not because the enemy was strong, but because it was difficult for demons to understand the way of thinking of other races, and it was difficult for them to live peacefully with other creatures, even me: I tried to take care of the aliens, but I found myself only scared them. So I started learning about the cultures of other races......

"It was an amazing experience, no demon had ever tried to understand the words 'culture' and 'art', and I guess I was fundamentally different from other demons. I was fascinated by them and quickly immersed myself in them.

"After absorbing enough cultures, I issued a decree and became the first demon king to enact a complete legal system. I decreed the equality of all races within my kingdom. Commanding them to live for the same goal, and beyond that, to enjoy the highest freedom, I decree that the demons, as a strong race, must protect those who are weak but intelligent. In order to ensure that my research projects can proceed smoothly, I have also developed 'ethical regulations' that are based on the consensus of all ethnic cultures. Any race that survives within the borders of my kingdom must abide by these moral norms in order to ensure order in society as a whole.

"Violating the above regulations. Uniform death penalty. ”

Hao Ren felt a deeper understanding of Yitzax's course of action, and it was still the same sentence, he was a demon who lived by the standards of a saint, but the reverse was also true - he was a saint who acted in a demonic way. He is a tyrant in another sense: a moral tyrant.

Humanity probably will never have such a ruler, and only the unique thinking circuits of demons can shape an alternative individual like Itzax.

"How so...... Actually, you've taken a detour," Hao Ren pondered his words, "Your method is too rough, and while it does work, it only works for demons, and other races are very complicated - especially human ......"

"By the time I found out, my empire was crumbling," Itzax smiled wryly, "and there were enemies everywhere, both inside and outside the empire. All the kingdoms of the world are declaring war on me, and they have given me the nickname 'The Mad King' and some of them the Mad King. The races on the outside see me as a conspirator intent on destroying the world of Miè, and many races on the inside are beginning to split for all sorts of inexplicable reasons. Some people remained loyal to me, but many more rebelled out of nowhere. The worst of all are my fellow demons - they can't tolerate a 'moral scum' like me in the demons. In the beginning, they couldn't beat me, so they stayed away, but when I was stuck inside and out, they attacked in groups. ”

Itzax sighed, and the expression on his face suddenly became strange: "The most ironic thing is that my hometown has finally formed an unprecedented united force, humans, elves, dwarves, dark elves, and half-orcs...... Unprecedentedly, almost all the races of the world have come together to form a united force not seen in tens of thousands of years, and the alliance of all races that I have always dreamed of seeing is finally established before my eyes - to kill me. ”

Itzhax picked up the bottle and drank it down.

Hao Ren was infected by this thrilling and heroic history, and couldn't help but pick up his wine glass, but Yizax pressed him with his hand: "Don't mind, just listen to me, you can easily kill yourself with this amount of alcohol......"

"I'm not there yet," Hao Ren smiled, tilted his neck to drain the wine, and muttered at the corner of his mouth, "I just don't like this mouthful, and it's not that I can't drink it." ”

Then he raised his eyes to look at Izzax, hesitated for a long time and told the truth: "Actually...... I don't know whether to say it or not. ”

"Come on," Itzhax grinned, "you're polite to me." ”

Hao Ren's advantage is real: "You were a little lacking in heart back then. ”

Izzax was stunned for a moment, staring at his eyes and reacting for a long time before he suddenly burst into laughter: "Haha...... You're really ......."

Izax laughed out of breath, and even the cat upstairs was frightened and ran out of the second-floor window, and Vivian, who was busy stewing children at the door, greeted her outside with a loud voice: "What are you doing?" ”

Yizax waved his hand to stop laughing, and suddenly looked at Hao Ren very sternly: "You're right, I just lack the heart and think things too simply." Now reminisce about memories...... I've found that integrating the world really isn't for a demon. ”

"It has nothing to do with the devil, you're too anxious," Hao Ren waved his hand, "You take your time, you wait for eighteen thousand years to live like playing, can't you slowly push over country by country?" Anyway, when the older generation of them is dead, the rest will definitely be obedient people, why do they want to turn the world upside down in one go? ”

Izax was stunned and knocked on his big bald head: "How good it would be if you were my military advisor, my military advisor is just a joke, it's okay to fight a local war, and you can't plan the overall situation at all." Alas, it's all in the past, mention this. ”

Hao Ren asked cautiously: "Then what you just said about your daughter......

He saw that the topic of Itzhax had been talked about farther and farther away, and that it had been about hundreds of years of war history, so he brought up the topic at the beginning.

Itzhax sighed heavily, "Dead, follow my last demon brigade, and my last obsidian city, and fall into the chasm...... It was a year ago. After that, I wandered around for a while, and I was caught by other demons, and then I was rescued by a passing god of Xiling, and then I came to you......"

Yitzax's voice grew lower and lower, and he sighed one last time: "Alas...... Hundreds of years of glory, great ambitions, now all in vain, the world is too big, we are too small...... Maybe I'm really wrong, I think too much, I can't even keep my own children, and I want to conquer the whole universe, hey, lack of heart. ”

"Bang-"

In the sky outside the window, a ball of ceremonial flowers exploded, and thousands of families were reunited under the light.

Hao Ren and Itzax sat across from 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 babbling voice came in:

"Landlord landlord! I've blown up a person! (To be continued......)
