Chapter 1046 You can only go here, not beyond (5600)

"Brother, brother? Isn't this bad?"

Seeing his brother's smile, Ellan rarely shuddered - not because of Ian's expression, any expression Ian looked good on.

What Elan was worried about was the attitude behind Ace's speech.

Even though he is only 14 years old, Elan can understand the meaning of 'politics' and 'negotiation' by staying with a group of the most talented and highest-status people in the world all year round... Ian sent Ace to the Fire Land, no matter what Whatever Ace says, all countries will default to it as 'Ian's' will.

Ellan originally thought that this was Ace's personal statement, fearing that his brother would take the blame, but looking at it now... was this all a signal from Ian?
But why?
Elan turned his head and looked at the screen.

Ace's accusation against the Light Controlling King is actually the accusation secretly made by most people in the world towards the fourth and fifth energy levels.

The better we live, the more meaningless the sufferings of the past seem.If it is really due to lack of productivity or other reasons that people can only live like this, then all this is a microcosm of the times, and they have no way to argue and are unwilling to accept it.

But now...

Of course, even now, people will not really question this, because they also know very well that the current peace and happiness are also based on the fifth energy level. If they are offended, will there be such a day? What happened?

They underestimated the fifth level.

It used to be ability, now it’s mentality.

Level [-] doesn't care about these things.

"Elan, I am teaching you now."

Ian sat aside and motioned to Ellan to take a serious look: "Can you refute what Ace said?"

"...I remember that Brother Yisen said that all the empire's tax revenue was given to the empire, and the royal family did not use any of it."

Elan was silent for a while, and then said with some hesitation: "The fifth level in many countries actually do not use people's wealth for themselves. On the contrary, even they themselves are collecting the most important things in this country. Those strategic resources.”

"Just like...brother, you are like this. It is the fifth energy level that supports the human country, not the other way around. Human beings do not support the fifth energy level."

Lowering his head slightly, Elan lowered his voice: "If you are accusing other people, I think there is no problem with that. After all, I don't know other countries. But I am thinking, if people from the Silver Peak Leader accuse you like this, I will Feeling angry.”

"Brother, will Ace's doubt really have no counter-effect?" He said: "If the fifth level of some countries is as good to civilians as you are, brother, it will only have counter-effects? Just like Cang Cang Xing... the people of Far Coast Island respect and love her."

"Yes." Ian nodded slightly: "You remember clearly - indeed, the fifth energy level in this world does not actually need the people. Their family itself is enough to maintain its own existence, and they are independent of human society. individuals and small groups.”

"These accusations made by Ace are completely the kind of doubts that would be raised by 'ordinary people who don't know this'."

"That's why it has weight."

"Weight?" Looking at Ellan's sincerely puzzled expression and listening to the other party's inquiry, Ian smiled and replied: "You feel dissatisfied because you know it."

"I know this question is shallow, and that's because I know it."

"The fifth level feels ridiculous because they know it."

"But the question is, who else doesn't know?"

"The vast majority of ordinary people..."

Elan said slowly, and then his eyes lit up: "The majority of those who voted... they don't know!"

"That's it."

Turning his head and continuing to look at the father and son facing each other in the light screen, Ian said calmly: "So now, they should also know. Know the logic behind all this, the thinking of the fifth energy level, and the 'reality' behind it." 's truth'."

"Elan, my goal is perpetual motion, not legitimate accusations."

"I don't want to argue with them, I just want the votes."

"As long as you still want a perpetual motion machine, the fifth level needs to be explained. This cannot tolerate their aloofness or disdain, because if they have desires in their hearts, they have to ask for help."

"So, they have to explain why the fifth energy level does not need ordinary people, and then show that they clearly do not need ordinary people, but they still protect all living beings - this is the source of the fifth energy level's rule. They 'Love' in my heart."

"Brother, in this sense." Elan couldn't help but said: "The fifth level seems to be all good people?"

"They are not human, so how can we talk about being good people?" Ian shook his head slightly and said sarcastically: "They obviously think they are advanced beings, so why do they force ordinary people to see them with human eyes?"

"Elan, your thinking is still limited to 'reasonable'."

"But in this world, there is no need to be reasonable."

"My purpose is not to belittle the morality of the fifth level at all. This is meaningless."

"My goal is to get 'great justice'."

"The reason why I, Ian Silver Peak, am unique in this world is that I am different from other fifth energy levels and have a higher meaning."

Staring at Ace in the light curtain, his own 'preacher', Ian chuckled and said: "No matter whether the fifth level needs ordinary people or not, whether it protects ordinary people - no matter how much they have done in the past. Reasonable, how normal.”

"They can indeed return everything they get from the country to the country, and even contribute to maintaining the country, resisting natural disasters and protecting citizens... They do a good job, but obviously, not as good as me."

"I'm better."

"I, Ian Silverfeng, have been treating ordinary people kindly from the beginning. I won't do anything because I'm weak, and I won't change because I'm strong."

"Compared to me, all fifth energy levels are unloving."

"Compared to me, all fifth energy levels have flaws."

"The most important thing is not whether they love them or not - that doesn't matter at all. What matters is that I am better than them, love them more, and have no flaws."

Elan was stunned for a while.

He is very smart and can feel that this is his brother giving him a hint. He hopes that he can learn a certain way of thinking... but he may have lived among normal people for too long, and his thinking is too correct, so he always There is doubt.

Therefore, Elan couldn't help but ask: "In this way, when this video spreads, will all the fifth energy levels... have to respond?"

"The fifth level will not lie about this kind of thing. Their hearts will not allow them to lie to weak ordinary people..."

"So, they have to say that they don't care about ordinary people's real thoughts, so that you, brother...can get more votes?"

"Do not."

Ian shook his head: "They may explain, but they won't respond to the accusations."

"The accusation is baseless, why should you respond? They are obviously for the perpetual motion machine, so they are willing to make ordinary people's lives better. These are the rules of the game for the Star Gods. They cannot beat the perpetual motion machine and others, so they need to abide by the rules. They are willing Admit it."

"And the people of their country may even accept this explanation, and even love their leader just like you love me, Elam, because they understand their leader better."

"But they will also remember me, remember me as the Silver Peak Prophet who was different from the beginning, and know that if this world falls into my hands, they can live a better life."

"They won't exclude me, that's what I want."

"Then why are you doing this, brother?" Ellan was really puzzled: "In this way, isn't it just a matter of forcibly grabbing votes from the fifth level? They will definitely be angry and even work together to target you, brother!"

"Am I afraid of this again?"

Ian asked back: "Isn't this what I want? Ellan, am I not a better person than those fifth-level people?"

“They don’t have to care what ordinary people think.”

"I don't care what ordinary people think."

"Elan... From the bottom of my heart, I don't care at all how the people in this world live, whether they have enough to eat, whether they can wear warm clothes and live well, whether they have dreams and hopes. I don't care about their love and hate."

"I'm just going to the high heavens."

Raising his head and staring at the setting sun, Ian slowly said: "But I defeated my inner desires and instincts - I didn't do this."

“That’s where I’m higher.”

"In this world, you don't have 'reasonable' desires that can be recognized by others. You have to be better than others."

"I'll teach you another lesson, Ellan." Ian turned his head and said seriously to his brother: "If you want to defeat everyone in this world, you have to do something that no one else can do."

"If you want to rule the world, you must do good deeds that no one in the world can imagine."

"To do unprecedented, unimaginable, and unimaginable good things." "Be like me and do things that are beyond common sense and things that you can't even dream of."

Elam was silent.

He was thinking, thinking with all his strength, thinking about the context behind all this, and his brother's true purpose.

He was not stupid, the smart boy figured it out quickly.

"If there is no perpetual motion machine." Elan said softly: "The fifth-level powerhouses will not care about the opinions of civilians at all. They don't care about all this, and it really has nothing to do with them. What they do can even be called They are the gods who protect us, resisting all monsters and natural disasters, as well as the invasion of others. They have done a good enough job."

"This is the 'legal principle' of rule. They are the well-deserved and irreplaceable kings and rulers of this world."

"But because there is a perpetual motion machine, and they want a perpetual motion machine, they have to do more. Reasonableness is useless, you have to give twice as much to make people feel 'love', just like how parents treat two people fairly. Children, both children will feel that the other is more favored and that they are being left out."

"They are one step behind my brother...my brother stands on the high point of 'righteousness', and no one can be higher than you."

"This is the real declaration of war - because brother, you have something they don't have, and this will indeed attract everyone in this continent to yearn for your rule."

"But this is Terra."

Raising his head, Elan's eyes flashed with light, and he said seriously to Ian: "Brother, this is Terra. Terra who respects strength and the strong."

"Ethereal righteousness can only bring potential advantages. As long as someone can defeat you and admit their mistakes, they can also have such 'righteousness'!"

"Yes." Ian smiled: "The premise is that you defeat me."

“It’s not me challenging them to beat, it’s them challenging me to beat.”

"I stand at a high place, and they need to climb to the top of the mountain to be qualified to challenge me."

"Just wait."

Ian expanded the light screen: "Soon, there will be the first challenger."

"And, Elan. That's all I'll say to you."

The prophet lowered his voice, closed his eyes, and whispered his true inner thoughts to his brother: "The fifth energy level originally originated from 'ordinary people'."

"One thousand, six hundred years ago, there was a disaster. It was the forerunners who selflessly spread all knowledge and passed it on to everyone in every shelter."

"During the Lost Era, all the Terrans in the Sanctuary selflessly contributed their all, pooled technology, reorganized resources, and created the 'original fifth energy level'."

"At that time, were some people selfish? Did some people think that protecting their compatriots was a kind of sacrifice? Do some people think that becoming the fifth energy level meant that they became another more powerful existence?"

"Yes, the fifth energy level at that time may not be able to survive for more than 48 hours and cannot afford more than two battles. Everyone selected is a victim of power."

"But do you think you are choosing someone to sacrifice?"

"No... the Terran people of that era came forward on their own initiative. Everyone wished they could die first, bear the power that was enough to destroy themselves, and fight against the enemies of civilization."

"You are slow, your performance is not good enough, and you are not respected by others. You are not worthy of this mortal sacrifice."

"And these original fifth-level people all died. It was the death of one fifth-level person after another that defeated those alien gods. It was the sacrifices of generation after generation that laid the foundation of the new era."

"All the current fifth energy levels are just 'successful successors' based on the selfless sacrifices of the previous generations of Terrans. Do they protect all living beings? This is their responsibility and obligation! Stabilize the data of the fifth energy level bloodline , those technologies, those resources, are they all obtained by themselves? They are all trophies of the sacrifices of their predecessors! Their original source is the contribution of all people in the shelter, [all humans]!"

"Of course, they were chosen for their reasons, but if you insist on saying that only they can do it and sacrifice, it's nonsense. They are just people who got rich first, because of insufficient resources, so You must choose one to achieve success and protect everyone.”

"That's their obligation, not 'pay'."

"Elan." Ian looked around the world: "I will not say these words to anyone except you. You have retrospective vision, you can see the real history of the past, but others cannot see it, they can only imagine, So ignored.”

"These words are 'reasonable' but meaningless words."

"One thousand, six hundred years later, there are countless ways to argue. Even if it is the 'real truth', they will find many reasons to convince themselves."

"The origins of thousands of years ago are too far away from the present. For those who have gained fifth-level power because of their blood, this is not an accusation. They will not feel it. There are even some people. I feel like this is a constraint, just like generations of sun birds, desperate and almost crazy."

"It is useless to talk to them about obligations. Only noble people will feel guilty and reflect. Most people will only think, 'What does this have to do with me?'"

"Morality is useless, so I don't want morality, I just want 'righteousness' in name. It's such a righteousness that makes them troubled and angry, and they will lose if they don't take action."

"And in the end, I will use my strength to conquer."

"This is the most common legal principle in Terra today."

Elan silently wrote it down.

The debate in the light curtain continues.

[So, you spread the fifth-level bloodline? 】

The Light Controlling King calmed down. He fully understood that this was the arrogant provocation of the Silver Peak Prophet - but he was not qualified to respond. He was only the fourth energy level. Although it was already very high, he could only look up to the fourth energy level. .

He stared at his son and said in a deep voice: [Because the fifth energy level is the property of all mankind, so you want to spread it so that everyone can get it? 】

"What else? Father."

Ace responded seriously: "Don't all the inequalities in this world originate from this? A powerful bloodline is more powerful than a low-level bloodline. The soul light group is an insect-type monster that can suppress all spiritual light systems, as if it is ruled by a king. People. Such bloodline suppression makes human beings unable to be equal even if they obtain the arcane path."

"In this case, it is better for everyone to practice a similar and powerful fifth-level bloodline. Anyway, according to people's talents, most people will be stuck at the first level, and a small number will be stuck at the second level. Only true geniuses can Can reach the third energy level.”

"There will still be classes and differences, but it will be much fairer than before."

"What's wrong with that?"

——The glory of your ancestors and the uniqueness of your family, you don’t care at all!

The Light Controlling King looked grim, but he understood very well what significance did his ancestors and family have to Ace?It is true that he did not pay any attention to his son, so why did he have any empathy and sense of honor for his family and himself?

[This is the retribution I deserve, I finally understand this sentence]

The Light Controlling King let out a long breath, but he laughed: [Yes.Ace, you're welcome back.You are indeed right. The right path for the arcane path in the future seems to be to popularize the bloodline and let people judge their level based on their talent and hard work]

[The fifth-level bloodline, since the emergence of the arcane path, is destined to be popularized one day.I never doubted this, but I didn’t expect that it would happen so quickly, and that the Silver Peak Prophet would be so aggressive. I originally thought I looked up to him, but I still underestimated him.]

[But, Ace.I can not question the arcane path, but you, I must question it]

The Light Controlling King looked at the determined missionary. He raised his hand and pointed at the 'son' in front of him: [Ais Niemathas, the eastward march of the Flying Flame Land, the forward lurker of the Demon Legion, the rank of major]

[You rebelled against the country after being captured by the Silver Peak Leader, causing heavy losses to Feiyan Land’s national strategy. Now you return home privately without being pardoned]

At this moment, the light on the Light Controlling King's fingers shines brighter and brighter, and his voice is as cold as ice: [Ace, you must die]

"All criticism with words is inferior to criticism with force. Your Excellency is indeed right."

Ace Niemathas also laughed. The succubus preacher raised his hand, grasped the core of his necklace, and shouted loudly the moment before the light burst out from his father's hand. Said: "Sir, save me!"

As soon as these words came out, Elan saw his brother point his finger in the sky in the Baisen Mountains. This light spanned the virtual realm, transcended time and space, and followed the veins that he couldn't even see where to go, until it reached the distant place.

And Ace also immediately saw that a white figure suddenly appeared in front of him, which made him feel extremely relieved. The phantom also pointed forward, and the invisible and immaterial power came first, taking away the light in the hand of the Light Controlling King. The force defeated him, making him unstable and taking dozens of steps back.

Behind him, terrifying power shot out of his body and penetrated diagonally into the sky, stirring up the clouds in the sunset and turning them into a huge colorful vortex.

[What, how could it happen? ! 】

Raising his head, ether surged all over his body. He was almost hit by a random finger in the air, disrupting the flow of ether throughout his body. The self-explosion and serious injury of the Light Controlling King looked forward in astonishment. The white shadow had dissipated, but he was still staring at it. The terminal on Ace's chest exudes cyan light: [You can defeat me by using force in the air? ! 】

Then, he said angrily: [Ian Yinfeng, how dare you contribute to my Feiyan Land? ! 】

[I am judging the traitors of my own country, do I need you to comment? ! 】

But no one responded to him.The white figure has dissipated.

Only the remaining spiritual energy spread all over the sky, leaving a trace in front of the Light Controlling King, speaking silently.

——You can only go here, not beyond.
