Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

“…For me, it all happened a few years ago.”

After Zhou Buyi withdrew his hand, Su Zhou raised his head and looked at the other person for a moment, and then slowly said: On that day, in front of the sacred tree with withered leaves, the Three Saints and the masters of hundreds of schools swore an oath at Nanjing Tianguan that they would never Use its power to create a truly peaceful age with human power. And I remember that you are among them.

Indeed. Zhou Buyi nodded slowly, with a look of nostalgia in his eyes: Everyone was still alive at that time... and now, I haven't changed my mind.

He stretched out his hand, and an invisible inner energy swept around. Along with the continuous click sound, the windows and walls surrounding the office flipped over with the mechanism, revealing the mirror on the back. Soon, bursts of spiritual light fluctuated. Flashing by, the mirror began to reflect shadows of images from all over the world.

It was a huge city with towering buildings. From it, he could see huge industrial cities in the Northeast and floating cities in the South China Sea that were swimming along the spiritual veins. Su Zhou glanced at them and could see huge aerial fortresses and flying fortresses being built on the coast of the New World.

The place where the sacred tree used to be has now become a huge urban area. The Third New Nantianjing is the economic and political center of the eastern region of the Tianzheng Alliance. Although the tall skyscrapers are not as tall as the sacred tree, they are towering enough.

I have done it all. The man said, and he proudly showed his achievements to Su Zhou: I united the hundreds of alliances that were on the verge of splitting due to the death of the older generation of leaders; I cultivated my health, and opened the alliance's first The baby boom; I led the new generation to lay the foundation of the Tianzheng Alliance, and I expanded the territory of Tianzheng to five times that of the former An Dynasty - those remnants of the An Dynasty that were about to collapse in the past, became this through our efforts The most powerful country and the most powerful individual in the world.

This is a great achievement that no one, even the original Three Saints, had ever imagined. Step by step, I led them to where they are now. I am worthy of everyone.

At this time, Shao Qiming on the side looked at the two people in front of him who were still having a normal conversation despite their confrontation.

He vaguely saw Zhou Buyi's expression similar to Su Zhou's before.

If Su Zhou wanted to show off to his friend that the world he had helped him had become so peaceful.

So, now Zhou Buyi wants to show off to Su Zhou, his former comrade-in-arms, that he has built the world they fought together into such a prosperous place.

Over the past hundred years, all the familiar people have left, and even if they have established supreme achievements, they have nowhere to tell. Finally, an old friend comes back. Then, even if he has practiced power that he should not get involved in, he still knows that the other party hates him as much as he hates him. , a character who is likely to fall out because of this, but he still can’t help but pick him up as quickly as possible...

Two young guys who like to show off...

Muttering in his heart, Shao Qiming thought rather distressedly: There will definitely be a fight later. Should I go out and hide away now? But the commander-level battle videos are so precious, and Zhou Buyi happens to be a cultivator as well. Wood type...

This is really impressive.

After looking at all the images in the mirror, Su Zhou applauded seriously and exclaimed: I definitely wouldn't be able to do it. For example, if the Hundred Alliance Alliance wants to split, with my thinking model, I will definitely kill them until no one dares to split. So far... But actually I am not that cruel to kill innocent people, I am afraid that after killing for a while I will let it go.

...Don't be too humble. If you want to, you can definitely do it. But if you don't want to, you won't do it.

Zhou Buyi lowered his eyes and his tone returned to calmness: And I won't. Even if I don't want to, I will do it if necessary.

So, the power of the sacred tree is necessary?

Despite this question, Su Zhou himself knew very well that the power of the sacred tree was not an evil force. On the contrary, it was the right way, the right and irreversible way of heaven that nourished the world and created all things.

The Demon Emperor's idea of ​​using all living beings to support one person is an idea that only a single man can come up with. It cannot be regarded as a normal way to use the power of the sacred tree at all.

As long as power is used well, it will never be a bad thing, and Su Zhou never intended to accuse Zhou Buyi of cultivating the power of the sacred tree.

However, in a place where the power of the sacred tree has been used to eat people, and almost caused a disaster that was close to the end of the world, a person who has experienced the disaster has used the power of the sacred tree again... This meaning is different from not having this experience. People who practice the power of sacred trees have different meanings.

Especially when Su Zhou used the fire of sinful karma to try to induce the bad karma in Zhou Buyi, he sensed that the other party did have quite a lot of sinful karma.

Good and evil cannot cancel each other out, and the fire of sin will not stop burning just because the other person has done good deeds.

But in the same way, Yuanli will not stop protecting the other party just because the other party is evil.

So Su Zhou directly pointed out the most important question: Zhou Buyi, besides you, who else in this world is in the realm of 'Tiangang Martial God'?

……just me.

The man frowned slightly, and then told the truth: Except for me, none of them have discovered the truth about the changes in the vitality of heaven and earth. They still think that the vitality of heaven and earth has not been revived enough, and I am a special case... But in fact, the vitality of heaven and earth has long been enough to make people Cultivation has reached the realm of Tiangang, but because the power of the sacred tree has penetrated the world, the entire planet has been subtly converted into an ecology subordinate to the sacred tree... Only the wood genus and its derivatives can do it.

Wood can turn into thunder, wind, and Yang Qi. Only these paths can successfully advance to the innate world. If you want to advance to the Tiangang Martial God, you either have to be like me and seek the power of the sacred tree to transform your body, or you have to try It’s a completely pure wooden technique that I’m doing right now.”

Of course, before this, you were the only Tiangang realm in the world - and you have the power of the divine tree, so almost all the innate martial saints or members of the Immortal Order in this world are just idiots in front of you. Damn it.

Su Zhou nodded slightly, and Zhou Buyi acquiesced: Even if I want to, I can't let go of power. If my strength cannot overwhelm everyone, then as long as I step down as the chairman of the alliance, it will cause disputes... Not everyone wants to be the chairman, some people want to be the emperor, or break the earth and become the king.

The Tianzheng Alliance seems to be singing and dancing, but in fact, in this world with extraordinary power, such a world of equality, a world where ordinary people are neither humble nor arrogant to warriors or innate martial saints, for those warriors with power, it is basically Not 'happy' either.

It is easy to understand that if Zhou Buyi had not been suppressing this order, even if only some warriors were dissatisfied, it would be said to be in danger.

It only makes sense to stand in a high position and bow your head. Only when I have the power to surpass everyone and take the initiative to step down from the position of chairman, can I lead by example, maintain this system and bring it into order - and I can continue to serve as The director of the Demon Subduing Bureau suppresses all turmoil in this world and makes the world peaceful and peaceful forever.

That's what he thought, and that's what he did for more than a hundred years.

Zhou Buyi did not publicize his discovery widely, but blocked it after advancing to the Tiangang realm, and even distorted the research direction of the relevant scope. Su Zhou understood this approach. After all, if there were more Tiangang realms in the world, If it were the case, with the terrifying strength of the Tiangang Realm, that is, the commander-level, it would be easy to become an independent kingdom and become the emperor. Even Zhou Buyi, as the strongest warrior, would not be able to maintain order at the same time. Suppress other Tiangang realms.

He must slow down the growth rate of personal force in this world in order to stabilize the order. Moreover, in order to prevent geniuses from being able to advance to Tiangang in the future and have second thoughts, Zhou Buyi took the lead in cultivating the power of the sacred tree to ensure that he has all the power of the world. All warriors have absolute suppressive power.

——What’s wrong with this? It is not wrong to pursue immortality, nor is it wrong to practice the power of sacred trees for the sake of world peace. Even if you are a dictatorial emperor, this should not be a crime.

But Su Zhou knew very well what price it would cost to obtain the power of the sacred tree after he had become the king of the sacred tree of the Banyan Immortal Tree and asked the other party to stop sharing its power.

Previously, Zhou Buyi refused Su Zhou's request to help eradicate the 'Immortal Cult', which also proved Su Zhou's conjecture.

You are the power of the sacred tree extracted from the remnants of the Demonic Dynasty of the Immortal Order.

Su Zhou put it bluntly: There are remnants of the Demonic Dynasty and separatists, and Tianzheng has enemies, so why don't you start focusing all your attention on the internal struggle, and you attack both sides from time to time, harvesting strength and prestige from them, and assisting your own cultivation... This In fact, it is to support the bandits and respect themselves. Such laissez-faire is actually the same as doing evil. Those who die because of the Immortal Cult are actually equivalent to dying at your hands.

You can say that.

Zhou Buyi happily admitted: I allowed them to attack the local unruly local government forces in remote areas, and when the time was right, I sent official troops to settle in, so that I could not only harvest power, but also regain those areas where people were divided. As for the separatists, they are a banner. With their existence, the resistance forces within Tianzheng will move closer to them. Attacking them from time to time can effectively reduce the crime rate in normal areas and reduce instability factors.

Of course, a country can always find more important things to do than completely eliminate these two organizations. I am not deliberately indulgent, I just always make other choices.

The Immortal Order is actually the same way. With the legend of the sacred tree, there will always be people who pursue immortality. History is here, and this is something that cannot be forbidden... And I hold the power of the sacred tree. No matter how they explore this path, In the end, they will only be delivered to my hands... Even if those monsters grow to the point where even the Demon Conquering Bureau cannot suppress them in the future, as long as I take action, I can destroy them all.

Su Zhou carefully observed the man talking eloquently in front of him. With his piercing eyes, he could clearly see which of the other man's words were sincere and which were disguised and concealed.

Then, he sighed.

Zhou Buyi, you just want to hold the world and civilization in the palm of your hand and protect it. You don't trust anyone, and you put all the pressure on yourself... How can you wipe the butt of the entire civilization and clean up the mess by yourself? Aren’t you tired?”

Having said this, Su Zhou couldn't help but laugh at himself: But the funny thing is, I actually understand you very well - because if it were me, I would definitely want to do the same thing, and I wouldn't even be able to do it. As perfect as you are... Call me naive, but I still can't be like you, raising the undead cult and separatists as a gathering place for evil, and I will definitely kill them all as soon as possible.

It's not childish, it's just that you don't like to compromise.

Zhou Buyi whispered: This is this kind of person you are, you are indeed this kind of person. That's why we all yearned for you at the beginning.

But none of the above are your real reasons.

But at this time, Su Zhou changed the subject. He had used up his mind to listen to Zhou Buyi's heart. Those reasons were enough to convince anyone, but they couldn't convince him: Compared to those reasonable and reasonable words, your first sentence 'I want to live forever' is actually more convincing.

——Ah, is the fight about to begin? Hearing this, Shao Qiming, who had taken out the anti-impact capsule and was ready to hide in the high-strength anti-impact airbag at any time, suddenly felt his heart tighten. He could sense that the spiritual energy fluctuations between the two people who were originally calm suddenly became turbulent.

But soon, the waves calmed down again. Zhou Buyi frowned slightly. Until now, he had not tested the depth of Su Zhou's strength. Although the other party seemed to be in the Tiangang realm just like him, he was still as deep as before. Unfathomable.

However, this is normal... That's Su Zhou. In the past, when he was at the peak of the future world, he even killed the national master and the demon emperor. Even if he cultivated the power of the sacred tree, he might not be able to defeat him.

There is more than one reason. The peace of this world really needs me to maintain it. If I don't get the power of the sacred tree, there will always be people who practice it. When there is order, there will naturally be people who resist the order. I set up a target and let them It is necessary for us to gather together to facilitate the encirclement and suppression.

It was not self-examination. Zhou Buyi simply stated the facts. After speaking, he lowered his head and was silent for a while, then slowly raised his head and said: Of course, as you said, my most essential reason is still to want to live forever. Because I wanted to survive, I did the following things.”

Why?

Su Zhou asked briefly: You are not greedy for power, and you don't seem to be the type of person who will do anything to live forever. The natural lifespan of the Tiangang Martial God is at least hundreds of thousands of years. There is no problem. If you want to live forever, you have plenty of time. Find a better way. In other words, for at least five hundred years, I don’t think you have any reason to pursue immortality.”

Zhou Buyi did not answer this question immediately. He just asked: Su Zhou, do you still remember the last words that your dead companion said before leaving?

Su Zhou was slightly stunned. He wanted to reply directly that none of his companions were dead, but this statement was essentially wrong. For his friends in the Shenmu World, Su Zhou was not present when they died.

So he remained silent, while Zhou Buyi smiled, his expression calm: Many people will forget that this is how it is on the battlefield.

But I remember. I remember the last words of everyone else - whether it was my master, comrades, friends, wife, or my eldest son, eldest daughter, second daughter... the messages each of them said to me when they died. , I remember them all.”

In this world now, I am the only one who remembers - no matter why the hundreds of families fought in the first place, why they wanted to restore peace, why they fought against the demon dynasty, the history of suffering, the cries and battles in the darkness, the legacy of that era The only one left is me.

If it's just me, just me, then death is nothing, it's nothing more than reuniting with them. But I can't live just for myself. There must be someone who remembers those words and those beliefs... Later people will Forget, beliefs will be worn away, rewritten, and revised. Just like the allusion you told me at the beginning, the dragon slayer will become a dragon, and beliefs will deteriorate, but the fact is that if I let go of everything , this world will still repeat the historical law of 'the long-term unity must separate, the long-term separation must combine' - the speed of the deterioration of beliefs will be ten times faster than the speed of my deterioration.

The meaning of the words may not change when the first person speaks to the second person, but if it reaches the tenth or hundredth person, that may not change. Even the essence of the discourse may be completely rewritten into something completely different from the original one.

Men cannot accept such a thing. The first man could not tolerate the fruits of victory that he had sacrificed the lives of everyone around him, to be tampered with by latecomers who were less and less appreciative of them, so he would rather not pass on these words, but stick to the place alone.

As he said this, Zhou Buyi's tone became louder and louder: I will never allow the peace that we have sacrificed almost all of our lives to create, to deteriorate, split, and fall apart in just a few hundred years. !”

It must exist, and I will protect it—forever!
