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

After Zhou Buyi withdrew his hand, Su Zhou raised his head, looked up and down for a moment, and then slowly said: "That day, before the withered sacred tree of fallen leaves, the Three Saints and the Hundred Schools masters swore at the Tianguan of Nanjing that they would never use its power, and they would use human power to create a truly peaceful and prosperous era. And I remember that you were also in it."

"Indeed." Zhou Buyi nodded slowly, his eyes showing nostalgia: "Everyone was still alive at that time... and now, I have not changed my mind."

He stretched out his hand, and an invisible internal energy swept across the surroundings. With the continuous "click" sound, the windows and walls surrounding the office flipped over the machine, revealing the mirror on the back. Soon, waves of inspiration flashed by, and the mirror began to reflect the phantoms of images from all over the world.

They are huge cities and towering buildings. You can see from it that the huge industrial city located in the Northeast is located in the South China Sea, floating city swimming along the spiritual veins. Su Zhou glanced over and saw that the huge sky fortress and flight fortress were being built along the coast of the New World.

The former location of the sacred wood has now become a huge urban circle. The third new Nan Tianjing is the economic and political center of the eastern region of the Tianzheng Alliance. The towering skyscrapers are certainly not as good as the sacred wood, but they are already majestic enough.

"I did it all." The man said, proudly showing Su Zhou his achievements: "I united with the Hundred Family Alliance, which was on the verge of division because of the death of the older generation of leaders; I cultivated and replenished, and started the first wave of baby boom in the alliance; 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 Anchao in the past - those Anchao who were about to collapse in the past, with our efforts, became the most powerful country and the most powerful civilized individual in the world."

"This is a great cause that everyone, even the first three saints, never thought of. I have led them step by step to the present, until now. I am worthy of everyone."

At this time, Shao Qiming, who was standing beside him, looked at the two people who were still talking normally despite the confrontation of momentum.

He vaguely saw a similar spirit from Zhou Buyi's body as Su Zhou before.

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

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

After a hundred years, all the familiar people have left. Even if they have established supreme achievements, they have nowhere to tell them. After finally waiting for an old friend, then, even if they have practiced, they know that the other party is jealous of evil and may turn against each other because of this, but they still can't help but take him at the fastest speed...

"Two guys who don't grow up and like to show off..."

After muttering in his heart, Shao Qiming thought with distress: "The fight will definitely start later. Should I go out and hide away now? But the battle video of the commander's rank is so precious, and Zhou Buyi also happens to be a wood-built system..."

“This is indeed amazing.”

After seeing all the images in the mirror, Su Zhou applauded and exclaimed seriously: "I will definitely not be able to do it. For example, if the Hundred Schools Alliance wants to split, with my thinking mode, it will definitely kill you until everyone dares to split... But in fact, I am not so cruel to kill innocent people, I am afraid that after a while, I will leave it alone."

"...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 calm: "And I don't. Even if I don't want it, I will do it if necessary."

"So, is the power of the divine wood necessary?"

Despite this question, Su Zhou himself knew very well that the power of the divine wood was not an evil force. On the contrary, it was the right way, or the right way that could not be corrected to nourish the heaven and earth and create all things.

The Demon Emperor's idea of ​​nourishing one person by sentient beings is a way of thinking that only a single man can think of. It cannot be regarded as a normal way to use the power of the divine wood.

As long as you are good at using your power, it will never be a bad thing. Su Zhou never intended to accuse Zhou Buyi of practicing the power of the divine wood.

However, in a place where the power of the divine wood has already been used to kill people and almost caused disasters that were almost destroyed, a witness of the disaster once again activated the power of the divine wood... This meaning is different from the meaning of people who have not experienced this kind of experience in practicing the power of the divine wood.

Especially just now, when Su Zhou used the fire of sin to try to trigger Zhou Buyi's evil karma, he sensed that the other party did have considerable sins.

Good and evil cannot be eliminated, and the fire of sin will not burn just because the other party has done good deeds.

But by the same token, the will will not protect the other party just because the other party does evil.

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

"……just me."

The man frowned slightly, and then told the truth: "Apart from me, they did not discover the truth about the change of the heaven and earth's vitality. They now think that the heaven and earth's vitality has not recovered enough, and I am an exception... But in fact, the heaven and earth's vitality has long been enough to make people practice to the realm of Tiangang, but because the power of the divine wood has soaked in the world, the entire planet has been subtly converted into an ecology subordinate to the divine wood... Only the wood genus and its derivatives can be."

"Mu can transform thunder, wind, and yang Qi. Only these paths can smoothly advance to the innate. If you want to advance to the Tiangang Martial God, you either seek the power of the divine wood and change your physique like me, or try to introduce a completely pure wood technique, and I am doing it."

"Of course, before that, there was only you in the world, the Tiangang Realm - and you had the power of divine wood, so almost all the innate martial saints or members of the Immortal Cult in this world are all native chickens and tiles in front of you."

Su Zhou nodded slightly, and Zhou Buyi agreed: "The power thing, even if I want to give it, cannot be given away. If my strength cannot suppress 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 they are split into pieces and become kings."

The Tianzheng Alliance seems to be in peace, but in fact, in this world with extraordinary power, such an equal world, ordinary people are not "happy" at all for warriors and innate martial saints, for those warriors who hold power.

It is easy to understand that if Zhou Buyi had not been suppressing all the time, such order, even if it was just a dissatisfaction among some of the warriors, could be said to be in danger.

"Only when I stand at a high position and bow my head, I can set an example and maintain this system and make it order - and I can continue to be the director of the Demon Subduing Bureau, suppress all the turmoil in this world, make everything in the world convinced and peaceful forever."

This is what he thought, and he has done so for more than a hundred years.

Zhou Buyi did not widely publicize his discoveries, but blocked them 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 Realm in this world, it would be easy to use Tiangang Realm, that is, the terrifying power of the commanding rank, to go out independently to become an independent kingdom and become an emperor by himself. Even if Zhou Buyi, as the strongest warrior, could not suppress other Tiangang Realms while maintaining order.

He must delay the growth rate of personal force in this world so that he can stabilize the order. Moreover, in order to avoid the fact that there are still geniuses who can advance to Tiangang in the future and have two hearts, Zhou Buyi is the first to practice the power of the divine wood to ensure that he has absolute suppression on all the warriors in this world.

——What’s wrong with this? It’s not wrong to pursue immortality, and it’s not wrong to practice the power of the divine wood for peace in the world. Even if you are a dictator, it should not be a sin.

But Su Zhou knew very well what the cost would it take to obtain the power of the divine wood after he had become the king of the Panrong Immortal Tree and asked the other party not to distribute its power.

Previously, Zhou Buyi refused Su Zhou to ask him to help eliminate the "Immortal Cult", which also indirectly proved Su Zhou's conjecture.

"You are the power of the divine wood extracted from the remnants of the demon dynasty of the Immortal Clan."

Su Zhou straightforwardly: "With the remnants of the Demon Dynasty and separatists, Tianzheng will have enemies, so he will not start to focus all his attention on internal struggles. You will attack both sides from time to time, harvest strength and prestige from it, and assist yourself in practicing... This is actually to raise the enemy's self-respect. 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."

"So that's it."

Zhou Buyi admitted happily: "I indulge them in remote areas to crack down on local government forces that are not subject to discipline. When it is almost the same, I will send official troops to settle in, so that they can not only harvest power, but also regain areas with uneven people. As for separatists, they are just a banner. With their existence, the resistance forces within Tianzheng will move closer to them. Is it possible to effectively reduce the crime rate in normal areas and reduce unstable factors."

"Of course, a country can always find something more important than completely eliminating these two organizations. I am not deliberately indulging myself, but I just always make other choices."

"The Immortal Clan is actually the same. With the legend of the Divine Tree, there are always people who will pursue immortality. History is here, which is an unforgivable thing... And I hold the power of the Divine Tree. No matter how they explore this path, they will only send it to me by themselves... Even in the future, those monsters will grow to the point where they cannot suppress the Demon Subduing Bureau, but as long as I take action, they can destroy them all."

Su Zhou carefully observed the man talking in front of the man who was talking in front of him. His eyes were as sharp as a torch, and he could clearly see which sentence of the other party was sincere and which sentence was disguised and concealed.

Then he sighed.

"Zhou Buyi, you are like holding the world and civilization in your palm to protect it. You don't believe in anyone, and you let yourself bear all the pressure alone... Wouldn't you be tired if you wipe the butt for the entire civilization and sort out the mess alone?"

Speaking of this, Su Zhou couldn't help but smiled with a self-deprecating smile: "But what's funny is that I actually understand you very much--because if it were me, I would definitely want to do the same thing, and I couldn't even do it perfectly like you... It's better to say I'm naive, but I still can't raise the Immortal Clan and Separatists as gathering places for evil, and I will definitely kill them as soon as possible."

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

Zhou Buyi whispered: "You are such a person, you are indeed such a person. So we all yearned for you at the beginning."

"But those above are not your real reason."

But at this time, Su Zhou changed his mind and had already used his thoughtless heart to listen to Zhou Buyi's voice. Those reasons were enough to convince anyone, but they could not convince him: "Compared with those reasonable and reasonable words, your initial sentence "I want to die" is more convincing."

——Ah, are you going to start fighting? Hearing this, Shao Qiming, who had taken out the anti-impact capsule and was ready to avoid the high-intensity anti-impact airbag at any time, suddenly felt a tightening in his heart. He could sense that between the two people who were originally calm, the waves of spiritual energy suddenly surged.

But soon, the waves calmed down again. Zhou Buyi frowned slightly. Until now, he had not yet tested Su Zhou's strength. Although the other party seemed to be just the Tiangang Realm like him, it was as unfathomable as before.

However, this is normal... That's Su Zhou, who was at the peak of the posthumous realm in the past, even if he killed the national master Demon Emperor, even if he practiced the power of the divine wood, he might not be able to surpass the other party.

"There are more than one reason. The peace in this world really needs me to maintain. If I don't gain the power of the divine tree, there will always be people who will practice. If there is order, there will naturally be people who resist order. I set up a target to let them gather together to facilitate encirclement and suppression. This is all necessary."

It was not just a self-discern. Zhou Buyi briefly explained the facts. After saying that, 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 die. Because he wanted to die, he would do the subsequent things."

"Why?"

Su Zhou asked briefly: "You are not greedy for power, nor are you like a person who can do anything for immortality. The natural lifespan of Tiangang Martial God is at least hundreds or thousands of years. If you want to die, you have time to find a better way. In other words, within 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 back: "Su Zhou, do you still remember what the last sentence he said before leaving?"

Su Zhou was slightly stunned. He wanted to reply directly that his companions were not dead, but this kind of thing was wrong. When friends in the Shenmu World, Su Zhou was not present when they died.

So he remained silent, and Zhou Buyi smiled, his expression calmly: "Many people will forget that this is the case on the battlefield."

"But I remember. I remember the last words of everyone else at the end of their lives - whether it is the master, comrades-in-arms, friends, wives, or my eldest son, eldest daughter, second daughter... I remember the messages they said to me when they died."

"I only remember the world now - no matter why the hundred schools fought, why peace was reopened, why they fought against the Demon Dynasty, the history of suffering, the shouts and battles in the darkness, the only one left over from that era is left."

"If I were the only one, I was alone, then death was nothing more than reunion with them. But I couldn't live just for myself. There must be someone who remembered those words and those beliefs... Later people will forget that beliefs will be wiped out, rewritten, and corrected. Just like the allusion you told me at the beginning, it is that the dragon slayer will become a dragon, and beliefs will deteriorate, but the fact is that if I let go of everything, the world will still repeat the historical law of "long-term unity will be divided, and long-term unity will be united" - the speed of belief deterioration will be ten times faster than my deterioration."

When the first person passes a message to the second person, the meaning of the words may not change, but if it reaches the tenth person or the hundredth person, it may not be possible. Even the essence of the words may be completely rewritten to a completely different appearance from the beginning.

A man cannot accept such a thing. The first person cannot tolerate the fruits of victory obtained by all the lives of people around him, and was tampered with by later generations who are increasingly unreserved. Therefore, he would rather not pass on this word, but stick to it alone.

Saying this, Zhou Buyi's tone passed by again and again: "I must not allow the peace we have devoted almost everyone's lives to create. Under the erosion of a few hundred years, it deteriorates, splits, and falls apart!"
