What is Fairness?
The unpredictable voice paused for a moment, and then continued: "There is no such thing as equality in this world, what do you mean by equality? Does it mean that the political, economic, and cultural treatment given to them by society after birth is equal? If you think so, then there is no need to continue, the reality is not a pipe dream, the same two newborns, one was born in the Nanyu Palace, and as soon as they landed, they stepped on the golden flower, and the other was born in the ...... Willitan, I don't know when a spiritual spell fell, he died, and he couldn't even guarantee his life, do you still think they are equal? In this world, everyone is born unequal, this is something that has been ingrained for thousands of years, just how can you change it?"
"Your Excellency Astoria, you were born into the royal family of Morocco, and you should know that the class system is an irreversible and slow destruction of a country, no matter how prosperous the country is, as long as there is class inequality, it will eventually decay and collapse from the inside out, and you should be aware of this, I don't want to talk about wars, sufferings, or ideals, equality is only an incidental product to my goal. Zero said indifferently.
"What do you mean?" Astoria wasn't annoyed by Zero's sarcasm, he was a little curious about what Zero was aiming for.
"The human race is different from other races, according to records, the human race was created by the spirit according to their own image, a long time ago, people are synonymous with wisdom, the society at that time, there was no barrier between people, help each other, create a home, laugh when you are happy, cry when you are sad, clean as a blank piece of paper, that is also the strongest period in the ethereal spirit world, but now, do you really think that the virtual demon is the biggest threat? No, external danger has never been an obstacle to survival, the real threat is ourselves, since the invasion of foreign demons, the decline of the human race, and the almost loss of the spiritual way, all this has changed, the demons eat away at our reason, we can't understand the people around us, and the people around us can't understand ourselves, violence, crime, sexual impulse, and deception have become the despicable means used by the human race to protect themselves at that time, and continue to this day. Zero said calmly.
"It's not just the Willitan incident, all the violent conflicts in this world originate from this, it's not the fault of one person, it's the fault of the generations, it's ridiculous that no one ever really realizes it, it seems that all this is taken for granted, only the corpses and blood of the weak can prove their strength, greed, arrogance, jealousy, laziness, anger, ** and gluttony, the seven deadly sins that all religions take prey on have already eroded all people, and if we allow the human race to continue in this way, we will eventually be controlled by those lifeless substances and led to extinction. Zero said this, and slowly raised his right hand, and a small cluster of fire suddenly bloomed from his palm.
With the infusion of spiritual power, the faint flame gradually became larger, and in the blink of an eye, it had become a raging fireball, but with the passage of time, the color of the flame turned from yellow to red, from red to purple, and finally it turned into a strange black flame, the dancing flames were like poisonous snakes, they burned Zero's palm, as if to devour the creator too, and Zero closed his right hand expressionlessly, and directly extinguished it.
"The wisdom of the human race has not died because of the passing of generations, on the contrary, it is far more dazzling than the first-born fire, and evil and filthy, crime, contradictions, and power are the evil consequences of it, and now we have reached a dead end that cannot be broken through, if no one can come out to break the status quo, waiting for us only to keep wandering back and forth and the final destruction, then how do you think we can break the status quo?"
Zero's understatement stunned Astoria, and he couldn't help but ask, "What the hell are you trying to say?"
"As you said, this world is not equal, since this is the case, then I have created an equal world, a world without contradictions, no crime, no power, and what it needs is a real god, what Star and Moon Council, what guardians, what peace treaties, what alliances of various races, these are meaningless, in the final analysis, they are all shackles of nothingness, do you know the Sith Empire? His Majesty Alois created a kingdom that is very similar to what I thought, but he failed because he is not a god, he is only a king, he will still die, and the true God is in everyone's heart, and he will not be killed, let alone fail. Zero said.
"I thought you wanted to say something, so that's the case, do you plan to become the god of this world? Even if you can destroy the kingdoms by force and stratagem and create a kingdom that has never been seen before, but the human heart is still free, you keep saying that you hate power, but you plan to implement a totalitarian system to create your so-called equal world, don't you think it's ridiculous? Astoria scoffed.
"Lord Astoria, when did I say I wanted to become a god? Do you know what is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people than totalitarianism, it is faith, what is faith, in short, it is a stubborn trust without reason, I am not a god, but I can create a god, the birth of the void demon is a disaster for all races, but for me, this is also an unprecedented opportunity, I don't need to use force to conquer countries, they will seek refuge, only when everything is unreliable, when they face death, people will crave the protection of the gods. Said expressionlessly.
"Now that the Void Demon has been born, his whereabouts are unknown, and there are even more partisans fighting in the Star-Moon Council, you have indeed picked a good time, but I would like to ask you, how do you protect the Terrans? There is no shortage of spiritual masters in the countries of the Terrans, if even they can't resist the Void Demons, why are you making a big fuss in front of me?" Astoria asked with a sneer.
"That's why I'm here, Lord Astoria, I need your help, and if you still intend to reject me, I can leave now...... I hope you will seriously consider my proposal. Zero bowed deeply to the empty illusion.
"What do you want me to help you?"
The ashes fell in front of Zero, but the ashes seemed to be alive, they tore and fused with each other, like a flock of crows, and after a while, the ashes condensed into an old man, he was dressed in coarse linen clothes, his white beard dragged to his waist, and a leather satchel hung from his waist, and under the gray warlock's hat was a pair of blue eyes as sharp as a falcon, and he looked directly into Zero's eyes, as if to see the person in front of him from the inside out.
Seeing him appear, his expression became a little lighter, and he said slowly, "You should know that the Void Crystal I studied, this research was forced to terminate due to the outbreak of the Void Abyss, but it doesn't really matter, what really hinders the research is the Void Soul, even if I spend so much time and energy, I still haven't been able to study the Void Soul thoroughly, but there is not much time left for me, there is only one thing that needs to be solved at the moment, how to control the Void Soul in the true sense, so I need the Book of Inheritance and the Desolate Soul Lamp that you guard." ”
Zero's request can be said to be expected, not all the desolate spirits in this world are controlled by the Star and Moon Council, and the same is true of the desolate soul lamp, which was originally owned by the royal family of the Moroccan Empire, which flourished four hundred years ago, Morocco was a large tribe of the human race before the Ping Era, although it could not fight against foreign races in the real sense, but it could ensure survival with a huge clan base, and they were also one of the main combat forces in the history of the struggle.
The guardian of the first generation of the Soul Lamp and the Book of Inheritance is a remnant spirit, according to legend, he survived the battle with extremely powerful spells, and hibernated for thousands of years until he was discovered, and that person was Albert, the first royal family of Morocco.
Astoria is the thirteenth guardian of the Book of Inheritance and the Wild Soul Lamp, he held a sacrifice ceremony at the end of his life, and thus lived to the present, he is almost four hundred years old in terms of age, and the reason why the Soul Lamp is called the most mysterious desolate spirit is that it is not a dead thing, but has a living soul in it.
But even if it is as strong as the Moroccan Empire, it will eventually be unable to escape the fate of decline, which is not only due to institutional and social internal factors, but also the peace and joy brought by the Ping Era, which made the original brave and warlike Moroccan people lose their direction, and the vast territory and infinite wealth brought not prosperity and peace, but internal power struggles and external wars, and repeated defeats led to the division of Morocco into two countries in the 133rd year of the Ping Era, which is now the Chaoling Kingdom and the Southern Jade Kingdom.
Everything Zero said, he did have a deep understanding, after all, he witnessed Morocco from prosperity to extinction, and Yu took away the desolate soul lamp the day before the decline and disintegration of Morocco, Astoria knew that he could not change everything, his heart was like ashes, and he left with him, he was born as a royal family of Morocco, and he was guarding the inheritance of Morocco until he died, and he would never allow the soul lamp to fall into the hands of outsiders, and following Yu was obviously the best choice.
"One more thing, if I'm not mistaken, is the reason why Tsuki's life is so long has something to do with this Book of Inheritance? I don't know exactly how, but I want you to tell me how I can live longer, even if it's just for one day, I need more time. Zero said this, bowing to the old man again.
