I don't see people suffering.

It's a bit ashamed to say that I didn't care much about the life of mortals before, the identity of the sun god bird and the prince makes my life very boring, but the life of mortals is boring when I think about it, I rarely look at them squarely, not because of contempt, but because I don't care.

Until one day, I was very bored, so I walked out of the imperial capital and came to the surrounding plain town, just like a child looking at ants, wanting to see the life of ordinary people.

After all, these ordinary people are the people in Grandpa's mouth, and they are the existence he cares about the most; They were also fools in the mouth of his father, always disappointing and worrying him.

So, I wanted to see it with my own eyes and experience for myself why these people, who were smaller than ants when I flew in the sky and stood on the top of the mountain, made them so haunted.

I saw a lot of things that made me feel uncomfortable.

I saw a husband and wife, the man was working on the farm, cleaning the manure, collecting eggs, cleaning the grounds, and the hard work, while the woman was doing the laundry, from morning till night, her hands were soaked and white, and she was just making a hard job day and night.

I listened to their words and knew that their children went to school in the imperial capital, the tuition fees were expensive, and the gap was still very large, their children were very sensible, and they studied and worked hard in the imperial capital, but the money was never enough to spend, and they planned to find another candle workshop job, rubbing candle wicks for candles, so that they could earn more money for their children's living expenses, even if their bodies were on the verge of their limits in my opinion, and they were squeezing their lives.

"It's okay at home, you study hard."

I saw a young man who had come to the Great Plains from other places with the intention of coming to the imperial capital to fight. He worked day and night, toiling in the quarries, giving half of the money he got to the local gang and a quarter to the guild, saving up a small salary, calculating the amount he wanted, and his eyes reflected the moon in the sky, shining brightly.

"If you save enough money, you can go back to your hometown to buy a piece of land!"

I also saw a young girl, with a younger sister and younger brother at home, her mother was seriously ill, her father was missing, she knitted rattan cages and set up a stall to sell, and she would delicately match some beautiful wild flowers, the vendors were quite exquisite, but the business was always bad, and there were patrolling city guards to drive away and even extort her, taking away her without much pay, and the girl who was tired and had nothing to gain for a day returned home, and could only force a smile.

"It's okay...... Tomorrow my sister will sell it in another place, and she will always be a little luckier......"

There's more.

The messenger who ran errands and delivered letters toiled for a week, but was owed wages and kicked out of the village by the villagers; But this village is because the children in the village have been stolen by human traffickers, and now they are resisting all outsiders to enter, and the sound of those parents crying and screaming makes me upset.

Along the way, there is not a single crisis that can threaten 'order' or undermine 'social existence' in the true sense of the word. The stability of the empire, the majesty of the royal family will not be affected by these 'little things', the workers who work hard but are in turn extorted, the street vendors who have their goods confiscated by the city guards, the petty officials who abuse their power...... These people and things happen in every corner of the earth, and under the light, they are not new at all.

There is also the group of children stolen by human traffickers, they are stunned in a remote farmhouse, listening to the traffickers, the buyers behind them seem to have a lot of power, they are a little afraid of being wiped out, but the whole organization is taken care of, the family and children are watched, they have to do it.

Haha, the bad guys have worries, they really deserve it.

I helped all these people, arrested them, and saved them.

When I returned to the imperial capital, I supervised and approved the scholarship release of Guilel College, and arrested a group of officials of the Ministry of Education and college leaders who embezzled scholarships.

I mobilized the Metropolitan Procuratorate to crack down on gangs, and vigorously cracked down on a number of gang bedbugs that were entrenched in people's bodies and sucked blood.

I bought all the rattan cages that the girl had made, and told her that every year a group of students from the Royal Academy of Medicine in the imperial capital would go to the city for free to practice their skills, and if she didn't mind, I could introduce her to a doctor.

And that group of traffickers, I also caught them all, and found Viscount Hank behind them. He's secretly communicating with Flying Flame, and he's conducting vicious biological experiments, and he urgently needs a group of children of the right age as test subjects, and he happened to meet me.

It took a lot of effort to judge a nobleman, but it wasn't a big deal for me, and the courier's money was in hand, and the parents who had lost their children wept with joy.

I'm glad that I've been able to help a lot of people solve their problems, and even though it's not what I wanted to do, at least everyone is happy, and my uncomfortable heart is smoother.

My father did not praise me, but acquiesced in my behavior, and my mother encouraged me, but told me not to be so self-assertive next time, and the eldest brother looked at me with strange eyes, and the eldest sister was indifferent to this, and the other younger siblings either looked at me with admiration or indifference.

"Let him do it." "That's his mission," my father said. ”

It is true that I did not see people suffering, but when I went out for the second time, I still saw a lot of scattered sorrows and sufferings.

The same is true for the third time, the fourth, the fifth, and every subsequent one.

I was able to use my power, my face, and my father's acquiescence to solve these things at first...... But soon, I realized that these things are inexhaustible, and the whole world is full of hardship, pain and suffering.

I can solve it once, I can't solve it every time, the empire is not my toy, the power does not belong to me as a prince, but to my father, I can't eradicate these things.

I really can't see people suffering, and I don't really sympathize with those ordinary people from the bottom of my heart...... I don't even know them.

Let's be honest. A despicable word.

I'm just because I'm so happy that I feel bad when I see things that make people unhappy, and I want to make them go away so that I can be happy again.

It's like thinking you have a stain on a snow-white wall and you want to get it off as soon as possible.

- Don't let these things stain my eyes!

I roared in my heart, and it was like when I went into the back kitchen and saw a poor lamb winking at me. I've eaten too many sheep, but I saw this sheep with my own eyes and I couldn't bear to eat it, so I asked the chef to let it go.

The chef let it go. The next day, I didn't go to the kitchen.

I got my second lamb.

I just don't want to see this happen in front of my eyes, as long as it doesn't happen in front of my eyes, I can forget about these things and live happily.

But I'm the sun god bird.

How could I not see where the light went?

There was even a time when I was chatting with my peers of other nobles, and I spoke my mind to the others.

I don't see anyone suffering.

It's a bit hypocritical to say this, and there will definitely be peers who sneer behind their backs, a prince of an empire who says that he 'can't see people suffering', it's a bit too pretending, if I really can't see people suffering, then why don't I leak a little bit from my fingernails and give it to those poor people who are suffering?

Everyone is a nobleman, I am still a prince, what kind of big-tailed wolf I am.

I did ask my father about it, and he asked me if I was a little overwhelmed right now.

I said yes, I felt that my strength was insufficient, and my power was insufficient, as if I could not grasp anything, and all thoughts were like water through my fingers, and I could not hold them realistically.

My father told me to remember this feeling of powerlessness and then go and get stronger. As for those hardships, I use them as nourishment for myself to become stronger, and when I really become strong, I will think about whether I should help those ordinary people with my own hands.

I wondered, I don't understand why this kind of thing happened, the first thing we need to do is to get stronger - we're royalty, aren't we? Isn't it true that we govern the entire empire to solve the problems of the empire?

The gangs, the corrupt officials, the rebellious aristocrats with stale and even evil intentions...... Each one is an enemy of our rule, and it will affect the authority of our rule!

My father told me that it was very wrong. The empire is our instrument of rule, we are not the nanny of our subjects. In other words, we have provided our subjects with the greatest and most crucial protection, that is, in terms of force.

My father told me that we were only named as royalty, emperor and prince, and that in reality, our 'imperial power' did not come from the officials, not from the army, not from any ministers and supporters, and not from the people.

It comes from the blood, from the light that flows through our bodies.

We are not so much royalty as a god walking on earth, a supreme being that cannot be overthrown, cannot be defeated by an uprising.

The authority of the empire lies only in its strength, and the existence of the empire itself is a constraint on him, not that he uses the empire to manage ordinary people.

He was the one who was bound by the Empire.

I asked my father, is this why we don't care about people's suffering? Because we will not be overthrown, we can exploit them with peace of mind and sit back and watch them suffer and suffer?

My father told me that all the wealth of our Sattar royal family was obtained by the royal family with their own hands. Nationals, whether 100 million, 1 billion, or 10 billion, have no way to go to the moon to collect nuclear fuel, no way to go to Mercury to collect high-purity natural essentia crystals, and no way to go to the asteroid belt to get the rarest mineral raw materials.

My father told me that the taxes collected by our Sertal royal family had been used entirely for the maintenance of the empire itself for three generations before my grandfather, and that the royal family did not take a penny, and that even the operation of the imperial capital, the fuel, energy, and all kinds of things needed for maintenance were collected by him, the emperor, himself.

My father told me that if I really don't want people to suffer, I might as well ask those foolish people why they exploit each other and oppress each other - the royal family no longer even collects agricultural taxes, at least not in the Quinal Plains of the imperial capital, and other nobles collect it, that is their power, and the exploitation of the gangs is also an organization of their own creation.

If I really want to figure it out, I have to testify.

So I went and testified.

Over the decades, I have come to understand the rules by which the world works and the source of all suffering.

I began to understand that even if there were no sublimators, no gods walking in the world, no sun gods and birds, no Gnostics and Truth Ministries, no emperors and nobles, people would still oppress each other and exploit each other.

This is not something that happens because there are sublimators, it is something that will inevitably happen to human society.

This is not to blame on the father, this is the inevitable outcome of our current social form and civilization level.

Our productivity is not enough, our morality is not up to standard, and our thinking level is still very primitive, so there are these unbearable things.

So, how do you change it?

Seeing through this, the actions of great-grandfathers, great-grandfathers, grandfathers, and fathers are incomparably simpler - they are all using their own methods to transform this society, everyone makes mistakes and suffers, and the closest grandfather even falls before he succeeds.

He succeeded in changing the problem of productivity from insufficient to too much, so much so that I began to wonder how I could make people die less if the peasants of the whole empire were unemployed.

I stand on the top of the mountain, overlooking the people below the mountain are still like ants, I still can't bear to see people suffer, but now every time I make a move, I can't see the future of the world we live in, I can't find the right way to transform the world.

I even found that even my 'unwillingness to see people suffer' was probably the result of my father's transformation of me.

I may have been a 'little tyrant' who was indifferent and ruthless, who didn't care about the life and death of mortals, and just wanted to live in my own world and obey my own desires, but now, I am called the most merciful prince.

I want to vomit, this world is boring and boring, full of big problems at a glance, and I am actually the prince of the largest country in Terra, and the most terrifying thing is that I still want to compete for the throne, grasp the greatest power, and transform this society and the world.

I haven't thought of any way to do it, but I still want to.

I felt like I was crazy, and the craziest was my father.

He wants to directly brainwash and transform all mankind, and transform this world and human society in the simplest, most direct, and most intelligent way.

[This is not wrong, I believe that if all mankind has a consensus, can understand each other, and recognize each other, then many contradictions and exploitation will disappear. When people give up excessive selfishness and cooperate with each other, they will inevitably create greater good.

[I believe that when this brainwashed generation dies, the new generation will usher in a peaceful society]

[But ......]

In a daze, Mikael's mind light, a huddled bird of light, opened its eyes.

In those eyes, what flashed was not firmness and determination, but a great fear: [But, is there really only one generation? 】

[Even if my father really only wants to brainwash a generation and leave a clean world for the Terrans, what about me? Would I agree with my father's brainwashing? Will I start a second brainwashing? 】

[If it weren't for me inheriting the throne, would the eldest brother approve of my father's consensus? What about the eldest sister? What about the other siblings? What about my children, their children? 】

[There will always be people who are dissatisfied with the current world, dissatisfied with the current order, dissatisfied with the current consensus of mankind, dissatisfied with their hearts and minds not following the vision in their hearts - so they start another brainwashing! 】

[Brainwashing all mankind, we have uncovered the magic box of all disasters - will the fifth-level powerhouses of other countries imitate us? Is there really anyone who doesn't use this simple and direct method of controlling all citizens?! 】

[I oppose this kind of brainwashing, and it is precisely because I have been brainwashed by my father since I was a child - if, if I were the original me, I would be the 'sun god bird' who was primitive, indifferent, did not pay attention to human beings, and did not care about people's suffering, instead of the personality of a benevolent person who was transformed by my father's thinking, labeled, and branded with compassion for all sentient beings, I really ...... Will it care? 】

[I could have unlocked the mark on my soul, but I didn't dare...... I'm afraid of my true self, the real sun god bird, a 'madman' who doesn't care about any life...... I even understood my father that if I had become emperor, I would have ...... I will too]

[Give your children the mark of 'kindness']

- So, is this my true self?

In the chaotic space-time made entirely of aether, the golden divine bird trembled, and the crown of his forehead flickered'? It was the question of the Heavenly Law Dragon, which stemmed from the fact that the authority of the Ancestor True Dragon was so powerful, and with Mikael's strength and will, he had reached the limit where he could touch immortality.

But at the price, Mikael questioned himself.

Question your own heart, your dreams and desires, question whether you are right or wrong, and whether you can imprint yourself in the ether without regrets, and then determine that it is the true, eternal and immortal 'me'.

Mikael was able to do this - he was a true genius, the strongest of the Sattar royal family of this generation, and if he inherited the blood of the throne, he would surely be able to comprehend immortality for the first time and become a strong man comparable to the leader of a great power.

However, on this final step of imprinting immortality, he was confused.

Is this self that has been transformed by his father, 'benevolent and capable of action, full of martyrdom feelings', or is it the 'sun god bird' who may have been suppressed all his life and has never shown any true colors.

If a person is put on a mask by someone else and wears it for the rest of his life, the others think that this is him, everyone thinks that this is him, and he himself thinks that this mask is his original face, and even the mask has completely merged with the face.

Is his real face or his 'real face'?

Outside the steel dragon's nest.

The flare phenomenon became chaotic, and countless lights went out of control, piercing the clouds around the steel dragon's nest, causing Ian, Adalbert, and Theo, who were in charge of managing the aftermath, to frown.

"Let Scott be careful, and manipulate the shield array in Radiant City."

With a command, Ian took a deep breath, stared at the steel dragon nest filled with the sun in front of him, and muttered to himself: "Mikael, this guy, has succeeded every time in reincarnation, could it be that there is one more me, but it will fail?" ”

"I told him too much of the truth, made him worry about it, and thought too much?"

Because of Mikael's assistance, Ian can actually vaguely sense the state of the second prince now - the other party's heart is shaking, and the questioning of himself makes Mikael hesitate, he is almost about to succeed, but he is also about to fail.

That being said, even if he had known that this would be the case, Ian would still have done so to tell Mikael more of the truth.

Because, only Mikael, who can still succeed after enduring all this harsherness, can have the strength to surpass the history of reincarnation and create a different ending!

And now, all Ian can do is trust Mikael.

He believed that the truths he had told Mikael would not only cause difficulties, but also be his strength.

Inside the Steel Dragon's Nest.

At this moment, Mikael was in absolute chaos, but slowly calmed down.

No, not peaceful...... but to perish.

At this moment, Mikael's consciousness gradually became weaker, and his thoughts, self, obsessions, and desires were all slowly dissipating. Whether it was the joy of his childhood or the doubts of his youth, all of them were shattered little by little, turning into sparks in the light.

And the testimony of youth, the determination of maturity, is gradually being scorched away like water under the sun.

It's a failure, but it's not a real failure.

It's Mikael's own choice.

- If life doesn't make me choose.

He thought so.

- Then it is better to let death come to my senses.

Everything was shattered by the sheer light, and all doubts, worries, and fears were reduced to nothing before the real death, the absolute great fear.

Existence and continuity are the root of all meanings, if you die, everything turns into nothingness, is it really important whether your mask is really yourself?

Soon, in the endless light and flames, the golden divine bird was about to disappear, and the sun in the steel dragon's nest also became restless, and it would burst apart at any time like those nirvana sun god birds, scattering many materials related to the newborn sun god birds.

It's just that.

In the last of these.

There is also a mark representing doubt, as well as a small golden flame that burns in the center of the sun.

That's a doubt.

Are you really willing? 】

The questioning that originated from the law of heaven ran through the last remaining glimmer of light in Mikael's heart at this moment.

At this point, he finally realized-

If he really died, would he really care if he was such a trivial matter as himself?

If he is to face eternal death, what must he do, what must he do?

[I...... Not care. I don't care if I'm myself or not, I don't care who can do it, even if I'm dead, I'm gone, everything about me is gone, and my power must be passed on, turned into spiritual energy that drifts in endless time and space, and descends on those who have the same desires, the same dreams, but lack the power as me]

[They are me, I am them]

【I want to ......】

[Let everyone understand their own heart, so that everyone no longer needs to suffer]

[This is something I never want to forget]

This is the nature of the Chosen Psychic.

This is the source of the radiance that wafts in the infinite time and space.

That's what it is...... Mikaelqi people.

His nature, his original intention, his persistence and dreams.

The immortal and eternal true spirit.

Rumble!

Steel Dragon's Nest.

The light stopped.

Then, the dazzling sun bloomed, like a flower bud blooming, shooting out countless fine rays—and these rays all turned around in mid-air and returned to the center of the bud, which looked like an incomparably huge giant opened his hand of light, and when it had grown to the extreme, it closed its five fingers and clenched them into a fist.

Then, the sun contracted, condensed, and coalesced into a young figure with wings on its back and a triple light wheel behind its head.

[I see, this is the nature of immortality, I finally understand why I am obsessed with fighting my father]

The human figure closed his eyes, and he whispered to himself: "Because father, you have been brainwashing yourself all the time, and you are resisting your own true spirit...... You're forcing yourself to endure suicidal pain just to achieve a dream that isn't what you want to achieve.]

[Father's ......]

When he opened his eyes, Mikael's eyes were like two suns at this moment, but they were even hotter, and all the colors faded under the gaze of these eyes, transforming into pure light.

Adbert, the weakest in the field, subconsciously turned his head sideways and closed his eyes, but it was completely useless, because the most arrogant light passed through the flesh and bones, making everyone's vision pure white.

He turned his head and looked in the direction where Ian was, and the newborn fifth-level powerhouse smiled slightly: [I'm going to fulfill my mission, Ian Yinfeng, I hope you can also walk on your path]

"It always has been."

Eain, who looked at Mikael and had collected all the data related to the other party's advancement, nodded slightly: "Then, don't lose too fast." Wait a little longer to figure out Axel's true purpose. ”

"At the critical moment, I will help you."

Mikael did not respond to this statement.

He just smiled, and then turned into a ray of light, running through the time and space between the Silver Peak Collar and the Imperial Capital-

Then, a resolute will, condensed in light-like thinking, pierced the Imperial Capital Planetary Shield Beam!

[Father, it's time for me to kill you! 】

The first update, ask for a monthly pass!
