Perhaps Itzhax is not the only monarch in their world who is interested in the universe, and there will always be people who look up to the stars in any world, but Itzhax is definitely the most actionable of them all—and the most decisive.When he realized that it was difficult to explore the boundaries of the space bubble zone with the power at hand, or even with the power of the entire demon race, and that the disturbing wars in the world would seriously interfere with his exploration actions, he thought that he had to unite the whole world into one camp, not for any false righteousness, not for a sacred mission, he had only one purpose, and that was to see what the real universe outside the space bubble zone was like.Unconsciously, he had gone from simply wanting to expand his territory to becoming interested in the universe itself, and feeling extremely disgusted with the mediocrity of the first half of his life and the whole world that was equally mediocre.It had taken him hundreds of years to change his mind, a realm that no demon had ever thought about before.He sums up his changes this way: "The more I looked, the more I realized my ignorance, and I began to be in awe of the whole universe and couldn't wait to uncover its secrets—and that required the power of the whole world." ”If it were other races, or the "standard heroes" that only appeared in religious stories, when trying to unite the whole world, they would probably choose a slogan of righteousness, and choose to use a sacred name to call people together to achieve this great goal with diplomacy and justice.But this is not the case with Yitzax, he is a demon, a simple and brutal demon king, so he chooses a more simple and crude method: he decides to turn the whole world upside down.And he almost succeeded."
Righteous slogans and diplomatic rhetoric are weak things," Itzhax said, spreading his hands and looking at what he had done in the light of a demonic worldview, "I may have failed, but I felt that I had the right course at the beginning."
I began to integrate all the races I could rule, I invaded the human realm, invaded the elven forests and the iron castles of the dwarves, and invaded the territories of other demons, but unlike before, I no longer went to war to enslave those races, I needed subjects, loyal, civilized, intelligent, subjects who understood my ideas.I established the Symbiosis City in the Demon World, creating a suitable environment for each race to live in, treating them equally."
It was difficult at first, not because the enemy was strong, but because it was difficult for demons to understand the way of thinking of other races, and it was difficult for them to live peacefully with other creatures, even me: I tried to take care of the aliens, but I found myself only scared them.So I started learning about the cultures of other races......
"It was an amazing experience, no demon had ever tried to understand the words 'culture' and 'art', probably I was fundamentally different from other demons, I was fascinated by them and quickly immersed in them."
After absorbing enough cultures, I issued a decree and became the first demon king to enact a complete legal system.I decreed that all races in my kingdom were equal, that they should live for the same goal, and that they should enjoy the highest degree of freedom, that the demons, as a strong race, must protect those who were weak but intelligent, to ensure that my research projects could run smoothly, and that I had established a 'moral code' based on the consensus of all races and cultures, and that any race living within my kingdom must abide by these moral norms in order to ensure order in the whole society."
Those who violate the above regulations shall be sentenced to death."
Hao Ren felt a deeper understanding of Yitzax's course of action, and it was still the same sentence, he was a demon who lived by the standards of a saint, but the reverse was also true - he was a saint who acted in a demonic way.He is a tyrant in another sense: a moral tyrant.Humanity probably will never have such a ruler, and only the unique thinking circuits of demons can shape an alternative individual like Itzax."
How so......
Actually, you've taken a detour," Hao Ren pondered his words, "Your method is too rough, and while it does work, it only works for demons, and other races are very complicated - especially human ......"
"By the time I found out, my empire was already crumbling," Yitzax smiled wryly, "Enemies are everywhere, both inside and outside the empire.All the kingdoms of the world are declaring war on me, and they have given me the nickname 'The Mad King' and some of them the Mad King.The races on the outside see me as a conspirator intent on destroying the world, and many races on the inside are beginning to split for all sorts of inexplicable reasons.Some people remained loyal to me, but many more rebelled out of nowhere.The worst of all are my fellow demons - they can't tolerate a 'moral scum' like me in the demons.In the beginning, they couldn't beat me, so they stayed away, but when I was stuck inside and out, they attacked in groups. ”Itzax sighed, and the expression on his face suddenly became strange: "The most ironic thing is that my hometown has finally formed an unprecedented united force, humans, elves, dwarves, dark elves, and half-orcs......
Unprecedentedly, almost all the races of the world have united to form a united force not seen in tens of thousands of years, and the alliance of all races that I have always dreamed of seeing is finally being established before my eyes—to be used to kill me. ”Itzhax picked up the bottle and drank it down.Hao Ren was infected by this thrilling and heroic history, and couldn't help but pick up his wine glass, but Yizax pressed him down: "Don't mind, just listen to me, you can easily kill yourself with this amount of alcohol......"
"I'm not yet," Hao Ren smiled, tilted his neck to dry the wine, and muttered at the corner of his mouth, "I just don't like this mouthful, and it's not that I can't drink it." ”Then he raised his eyes to look at Izzax, hesitated for a long time and told the truth: "Actually......
I don't know whether to say it or not. ”"Come on," Itzhax grinned, "you're polite to me." ”Hao Ren's advantage is real: "You were a little lacking in heart back then. ”Izzax was stunned for a moment, staring at his eyes and reacting for a long time before he suddenly burst into laughter: "Haha......
You're really ......"
Izax laughed out of breath, and even the cat upstairs was frightened and rushed out of the second-floor window, and Vivian, who was busy stewing children at the door, shouted outside in her throat: "What are you doing?"
”Yizax waved his hand to stop laughing, and suddenly looked at Hao Ren very seriously: "You're right, I just lack the heart and eyes, and I think things too simply."
Now reminisce about memories......
I've found that integrating the world really isn't for a demon. ”"It has nothing to do with the devil, you're too anxious," Hao Ren waved his hand, "You take your time, you wait for eighteen thousand years to live like playing, can't you slowly push over country by country?"
Anyway, when the older generation of them is dead, the rest will definitely be obedient people, why do they want to turn the world upside down in one go?
”Izax was stunned and knocked on his big bald head: "How good it would be if you were my military advisor, my military advisor is just a joke, it's okay to fight a local war, and you can't plan the overall situation at all."
Alas, it's all in the past, mention this. ”Hao Ren cautiously asked: "Then what you just said about your daughter......"
He saw that the topic of Yitzhax had been getting farther and farther, and it had been a history of wars for hundreds of years, so he brought up the topic at the beginning.Itzhax sighed heavily, "Dead, follow my last demon brigade, and my last obsidian city, and fall into the chasm......
It was a year ago.After that, I wandered around for a while, and was caught by other demons, and then I was rescued by a passing god of Silling, and then I came to you......"
Izax's voice grew lower and lower, and finally sighed: "Alas......
Hundreds of years of glory, great ambitions, now all in vain, the world is too big, we are too small......
Maybe I'm really wrong, I think too much, I can't even keep my own children, and I want to conquer the whole universe, hey, lack of heart. ”"Bang-" In the sky outside the window, a ball of ceremonial flowers exploded, and thousands of families were reunited under the light.Hao Ren and Itzax sat across from each other, and he reached out to pat the latter's shoulder.But at this moment, there was a sudden noise from outside the door, and Lily's babbling voice came in: "Landlord landlord!
I've blown up a person!
