Sometimes, choosing is a very painful thing.

If there is only one option, people will not hesitate, and will not hesitate to move towards the only option.

But if there are two options, and both options have their advantages and disadvantages, the choice is very difficult.

The sun slowly sank from the horizon to the earth, and the brilliant sunlight reflected countless clouds, turning them into blood-red fiery clouds.

In the endless blood-colored light, countless shadows were cast on the earth, and darkness descended on the earth at an extremely slow speed.

On the throne, the Lord of Darkness looked at the thirty-six semi-holy beings in front of him, and said in an indescribable tone, "Do you know how to educate your child in order to really be good for him?" ”

"Two mothers, one mother did not punish her child after he made a mistake, but tolerated him regardless of unreasonable pampering, she gave the child what he wanted, and the other mother, after her own child made a mistake, punished him and told him that it was wrong to do so."

"Which of these two mothers is really good for their children?"

"Please tell me."

The Lord of Darkness asks a question that is irrelevant to the present situation but has some connection.

Elvia's eyes lit up, she took a step forward, bowed and said in a high voice, "Of course, the second mother is really good to his child. ”

"What is right and what is right for her children to tell them? What not to do? This will greatly improve the survival of his child in society, so that his child has a better chance of living a better life in the future. ”

"As for the first child, in that form of education, he will not know right from wrong, and think that all the people in the world should let themselves and do whatever they want."

"But his parents will grow old and die one day, and his mother will tolerate him like that, but outsiders can't tolerate him like that anyway, which brings about a great reduction in his ability to survive in society, and his future life will be extremely difficult."

Right is right, wrong is wrong.

But right and wrong are sometimes diametrically opposed, or even opposite, in different eras.

But for civilization, progress is right, progress is right, and it is even more right to make the individuals in civilization stronger and smarter.

Of these, the latter is particularly important.

Looking at Elvia, who was smiling, the Lord of Darkness said in a mournful tone, "My scroll is my child. ”

"Abloth, do you think I should learn from the first mother or the second mother."

Ablos bowed again, "Of course you should learn from the second mother, your volume is your child, you should tell him what is right and what is really good for you?" ”

"Instead of spoiling him so that he can't survive in this world."

"The most important thing is to be alive."

"If you really love him, you should let him be tempered, train himself, make him stronger, smarter, more able to adapt to the environment of survival in the future, and be able to live forever."

His gods, after all, made the most correct choice.

Just like the question raised by his gods, is it to spoil his child and turn it into a wastewood, unable to adapt to the social environment after that, to live or die sadly, or to tell him what is right and wrong, sharpen him, improve his ability, and let him live a wonderful life, live longer, and live better in the society after that?

Parents who are really good for their children will choose the second one, tell their children what is right and what is wrong, sharpen him and improve his ability, so that he can live a wonderful and better life in the society in the future.

His deity asks this simple but profound question, using him to tell all those who are loyal to him what is really good for them.

As for the damage caused by the grinding in the process, it is bearable to compare the excitement after that.

Elvia was paralyzed on the ground.

He loses, he loses everything, and the people who gave birth to him and raise him will also fall into endless lies, deception and ignorance.

The most ridiculous thing is that after his gods speak his problems, his reason tells him that the mother who is truly good for her child is the second mother.

What does this mean? This meant that his sanity agreed with Elvia's proposed decision.

The pressure of a world weighed his heart, leaving him breathless.

In the majestic hall, the last rays of sunlight disappeared from the sky, the fiery clouds disappeared, and only the deepest darkness shrouded the world.

However, in the darkness, countless brilliant stars shone brightly in it.

Darkness gives birth to the brightest light, the brightest hope, and the brightest future.

Thirty-six semi-holy beings left the magnificent hall in silence.

More than 400 demigods, when they learned that their gods were going to be the second mother, to tell their children what was right and what was wrong, and to sharpen him.

After sighing, he also left in silence.

Out of ignorance, deception, and lies give birth to the brightest light, hope, and future.

It's hard for them to accept, but they also know that this is what a real mother should do, not to spoil her child into death and into a hopeless future.

They are powerless to stop it, and there is no reason to stop it.

It's just, why do you want to cry so much?

What would happen if the 50 billion families who died in the war knew that their children and grandchildren were living in ignorance, deception and lies?

Is it to cry at the feet of the gods, or to draw a knife in anger and face the gods.

Or like them, after listening to the questions of the gods, they fell into the deepest silence.

They don't know, they don't want to know, and they don't want their children's ancestors to know what their children are about to face.

What's more fucked up than the story is always reality.

How absurd it is that ignorance, lies and deception can give birth to the brightest light, hope and future.

Such a ridiculous thing is a reality.

They want to pull out the sword of their righteousness, cut down the injustice in front of them, and cut down all the things they can't see.

But the reality is that they don't know where their enemies are or who they want to cut.

Even after cutting it out of desperation, looking back, it turned out that it was himself who should have been cut the most.

Because after cutting it, I suddenly found that my civilization was cut down by myself.

They obviously destroyed darkness, deception, ignorance, lies, and unreasonable things, but it was these things that gave birth to their civilization and made their civilization keep moving forward.

Darkness, ignorance, lies, deception are gone, and civilization is gone.

In the pitch-black hall, the Lord of Darkness sat silently on his throne, facing the boundless darkness.

Time passed, and a bright moon, belatedly rising, slowly rose from the edge of the world.

The moonlight shone on his face, a face in excruciating pain.

He said hoarsely, "Is this civilization?" I didn't understand before, but now, I do. ”

"The rules of absolute militarism seem to be similar to the rules of Elvia."

"It's just that one is in the light they need, in the midst of war, to obtain the sublimation of civilization, and the other is to obtain the sublimation of civilization in ignorance, lies and deception."

In the world that raised him, he only needed to work hard to do things within his responsibility under the command of the world's will.

He didn't have the deepest sense of what civilization is.

In the world of Crystal Asia, he went through countless tribulations such as hope, destruction, and rebuilding hope, and finally faced something called civilization.

At this moment, he seems to have countless choices, but his choice has always been only one, unscrupulous means, regardless of light and darkness, regardless of lies and deception, and use all means to let civilization move forward and run towards the brightest future.

If he does not do so, the civilization that has risen because of him will rush to the abyss called death in the light of fireflies.

And he will also be beaten back to his original form and become the child who is protected by the mother of the world in his own world.

He's grown up, and he doesn't want to be protected like a child.

Therefore, he must make the most rational and correct choice, and accept the most brilliant future with the civilization that was born because of him, while rushing to the most brilliant future.

The moonlight shone through the door of the main hall on the body of the dark lord, and at this moment, he really grew up.

……

A few months later.

In a city ruled by the Lord of Darkness.

Dozens of children cried and stopped in front of the pastor in his robes, and they said sadly: "Teacher Jack, don't go, we don't dare to tease you anymore, please don't go." ”

"We want to read, can we give you candy? You don't want to go. ”

"Woooooo

The children burst into tears and hugged Pastor Jack as they cried.

Pastor Jack looked at the group in front of him, originally full of laughter, but now full of grief.

I opened my mouth, tears flowed down uncontrollably, I couldn't finish wiping it with my hands, and my throat seemed to be blocked by something, I wanted to speak, but I couldn't say anything.

He didn't know what was wrong, but the upper authorities were suddenly going to transfer him away and let him leave this group of lovely children.

It wasn't a big deal, at least he was going to a government church, which was much better than his current job.

But he has to find a replacement for him, this small village, he is a priest and teacher, and once he leaves, the children of the whole village will have no chance to go to school at all.

And he inquired, not only his village, but also the priests and teachers in the surrounding villages will be transferred, and even the schools in the small town will be demolished.

And his teacher also wrote to him, and countless priests and teachers in the larger cities were being transferred from their former positions at a rapid pace.

All kinds of information reveal a terrible future.

Let him know that the group of children in front of him, as well as all the children in this country, except for the high-level, will soon lose the opportunity to receive education, fall into ignorance, do not know what the truth is, and can only live their lives in a state of confusion.

That's why he's so sad.

Outside the classroom, a first-order papal knight, with ten ordinary knights, stood quietly outside the door of the classroom.

Looking at what was happening in the classroom, their eyes were full of unbearable, but in the face of the orders of their superiors, they could only carry them out.

After a while.

The children's tears had dried up and their voices had become hoarse.

Seeing that the children and the teacher were at risk of crying to death, the first-order knight said sorry in his heart, and took ten knights to carefully squeeze the children away.

He grabbed Jack's hand and pulled him out with all his might.

And the ten soldiers around silently formed a human wall, blocking the children out.

Pastor Jack was silently pulled away by the first-order knights, looking at the children around him who were crying and wanted to rush over, and his heart was extremely painful.

Dozens of minutes later.

Inside the four-wheeled carriage, Pastor Jack faced the transcendent in front of him, and said to the First Order Knight with a hoarse throat, "I can see that you also pity those children, I want you to tell me what happened, why do you want to let those children have no future?" Not even the right to education. ”

He really couldn't understand why this situation was happening.

He followed the gods he believed in, and in response to the will of the gods, he bestowed knowledge on these believers and those who were in darkness.

Do what is right.

Why should he be allowed to leave this righteous post? And let justice be buried under the dirt, so that those children lose the light and welcome the darkness.

The first-order knight looked at Pastor Jack's aggressive eyes, unconsciously looked away his eyes, and said with some reason: "I don't know what's going on, I'm just carrying out the orders given to me by the chief." ”

"But I've gotten some gossip that says it's for a brighter light, hope and future."

As he spoke, the head of the first-order knight couldn't help but be lowered.

How does it sound so nonsense to deny children an education for a brighter hope and future?

He said that his knight's head was a little insufficient, and he really couldn't understand such a profound truth.

Hearing the words of some knights, Pastor Jack instantly became furious and roared angrily: "Not allowing children to receive education is for a brighter hope and future." ”

"What kind of fallacy is this? This is throwing the truth into the dung pit and insulting the word truth. ”

"I will pray to my god and tell him that there is a cancer of civilization that poisons his people."

Pastor Jack was already mad.

He grew so big, he had never heard such outrageous words.

Not allowing children to receive education is actually for a brighter future.

Does this make sense? There is no such thing in the world, and he must tell the gods he believes in about the situation here.

Let the gods save his people.

In the face of Priest Jack's roar, the head of the First Order Knight was lowered.

Obviously, he himself thinks this reason is very outrageous.
