"Obviously, he changed his mind, and it was not like a move to shelter the people."

Su Zhou raised his eyebrows: "It's the will of the empire... I heard Akharonov talk to some people."

"really."

Iloviz's expression was obviously a little decadent, but he cheered up and informed Su Zhou of the details about the will of the empire.

Initially, before Asmode XIII became the Emperor of the Sun, he and Mikhar and Akharonov pondered for several years to solve the problem of the holy day's extinction, and finally decided to give up all the plans of "staying in Aion" and decided to enter the void and go to other worlds.

This is a very bold move, but it can bring better possibilities and future to all living beings. After all, you have to face the end of the world. So why not just change the world once and for all?

The trio decided to take a gamble back then.

The source of the Blood Divine Tree, the secret method of ignition of the Spirit and the secret method of blood, were all improved at that time.

Going to other worlds in the void requires huge and unimaginable energy. This is not difficult for the spirit-burning powerhouses, but the difficulty is how to protect the many people and take them through the turbulent flow of time and space together.

It is obvious that ordinary people's bodies are too heavy and too fragile, and it is simply impossible to carry them through other worlds.

After making choices, keeping the soul and giving up the body is naturally the only choice.

However, even if the Aion World is a world with incredible spiritual density, the soul is not so easy to condense. If you are not careful, the half-baked soul will be infected by source energy and become a demonizer, or even a monster.

The will of the empire is a means that came into being to solve this problem.

——Since the people have no souls, the emperor will give them—

"With me, Mikhar, and Akharonov, the soul of two spirit-burning spirits and a powerful person in the disaster realm as the core, we continuously absorb spiritual energy and create masterless spirits, give them a 'temporal soul'."

"Just like the sun shines on the earth, the land where light shines, the inhabitants of the empire will become soul condensers."

When he said this, although his tone did not fluctuate, Su Zhou could sense the pride in Iloviz's heart.

In fact, this is also worthy of pride.

The man couldn't help but nodded and exclaimed: "The Empire distributes souls? This is actually the prerequisite for the nation's cultivation. If the Asmodai Empire could really do this, then the end of the world might have greatly promoted technological development - it's just like this on the earth, but it's not so radical and urgent."

"But it's obvious that this plan has died." He said so.

"Yes." Iloviz couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's not difficult to create a soul, and it doesn't take much time, but the results of the trial run were not ideal - the first group of mobile urban residents who gave souls all became demons, and they irresistibly turned into demons fighting and devouring each other... Since then, we have realized that the curse of source energy is probably even more terrifying than we imagined. The will of the world hates us, whether it is the holy day, the devil moon, or the air, all put us on a dead end."

"A person without talent gets a soul, and the result is murder. This path is blocked, but we have found another way. Since the soul distributed will be dirty, we should simply cut our own souls and lend them to sentient beings, use our powerful souls to become barriers to protect the memories and thoughts of all people. After reaching the universe without source energy, we can gather spiritual wisdom to create souls and nurture sentient beings again."

——This is the way of divine wood.

Su Zhou keenly noticed this. Although the method and appearance are much different, this is essentially very similar to the process of Shenmu's reproduction in other worlds.

Before the initial divine wood went to other worlds, in order to bring many seeds of life, it must have gone through many choices, just like the former Empire trio.

The behavior of creating an ecosystem in another world is essentially similar to recreating a world you are familiar with.

"It's just that, it still failed."

Su Zhou said lightly: "What happened? From your words, the Sun Emperor seemed to be a good person at the beginning? How did he become like this foul smell now?"

"...It did not fail, but the plan of the imperial will is halfway through, and it was not continued."

Iloviz knelt on one knee, and he leaned over and touched the seemingly filthy flesh and blood on the ground, with a gloomy expression, as if he had made a mistake: "He did give up the spirit and protect the inhabitants of the empire, but in turn, the thinking and will of all the inhabitants of the empire became part of him, and he made His immortal body."

"The infection rate of demonized people in the empire is much lower than that in other regions. Even if there are, they are strictly regulated, because of this."

The gray-haired knight stood up, he looked at Su Zhou and whispered: "The plan is still in place. The Tower of Babel is launching the light of dominance into the Holy Day to communicate the remaining powers therein."

"The Holy Japan will be extinguished when it comes. In this case, before we leave the world, it is better to activate it to its brief fullness, shine on the void, and help us select the world - and the torch of the ignition of the Spirit will burn violently, allowing the Sun Emperor to have the power to transcend the gods in a short time."

"Theoretically, at that time, we will leave the world of Aion, and those who want to stay can continue to stay... But now it seems that Mihal wants to stay for the time being. He always says 'preparation' is not enough, but I don't know what he wants to prepare!"

What to prepare? Of course, it is to prepare fuel.

At this moment, Su Zhou had already understood everything.

What this Sun Emperor wanted to do was not simply leaving the world of Aion and finding a suitable new world to live in - his ambition was definitely great enough, until four hundred years later, he burned out the entire world of Aion and turned into smoke and dust in the void before setting off.

Even if he did perfect deductions, he could not know what he did in these four hundred years.

But Su Zhou didn't have to guess at all. As the Demon-Devouring Lord's experience after eating countless evil souls, he could easily infer what the Sun Emperor did: the other party must have been continuously using the will of the empire to create souls, mass-producing alternative soul collections such as the Divine Tree of Blood, and then harvesting them as crops, and hoarding the huge and incredible amount of souls.

Even if the blood divine tree is not complete, it is still a divine tree in the final analysis. So many divine trees have been continuously born for four hundred years and eventually gnawed the entire world. What's so strange about this?

Whether it is friends, residents of the empire, sentient beings on the continent of Aion, or even the entire world of Aion, they are the tools of this Sun Emperor to achieve his own goals.

"You can't keep him."

Su Zhou's fist became hard, and he tickled: "You must kill this guy as soon as possible, otherwise the longer this person lives, the more people will be injured."

Su Zhou did not lower his voice, and Iloviz also heard his self-talk, so the knight stood up and shook his head cautiously and said, "You can't kill him. I said that the Sun Emperor is immortal."

"Through the will of the empire, He has become the incarnation of the entire Asmodai Empire. The empire is immortal. Even if you destroy the body and mind light body, the new Sun Emperor will be born again from the thoughts of the people of the empire."

Su Zhou did not reply because he heard something in Iloviz's words.

Sure enough, after a pause for a while, the knight took a step forward, and his momentum began to recover, and even became more hotter than when he flew towards the Xiguang Mountains before.

“I want to ask a question.”

Originally, because of the death of a friend, Ilovitz's eyes were dim, but now, the knight's eyes began to burn with a dark golden glow: "Svetre of Xiguang, what are you going to do to this world? Why do you do this?"

"What am I going to do?"

Su Zhou glanced at Iloviz, and he shook his head: "Don't you have eyes and ears? All I did are in the north, all in the Xiguang Mountains and Yanshuang Ling, and in the Heritage Hall of the Far North Ice Field. You clearly know why you ask me?"

"What I want to do is to allow everyone to choose their own life freely, everyone can get their own meaning, everyone is equal to everyone, there will be no suffering or torture in the world, and every day is better than yesterday."

"As for why I did this."

At this point, he raised his head and stared at the holy sun in the sky, and even the countless universes in the void above the sky.

“Because time is flowing, because life is born.”

“Because a better tomorrow is there, I can ‘imagine’, so I’m going to achieve it.”

“…It’s so good.”

The knight stared at Su Zhou enviously, and he couldn't help but repeat: "It's so good... It's worthy of being Xiguang, your answer is better than I thought..."

He stretched out his hand and pressed it on the hilt of the sword. After admiring, Iloviz couldn't help but sigh: "How great would it be if you could have appeared earlier... Akharonov didn't have to go against his nature to capture the demonized people who he sympathized with back then, nor would he slaughter the inhabitants of the empire who should not have died or rebelled against, nor would he die before you."

"And you also have another way to save the world. I know that the firewood tree shines heavily on the world, which is better, more humane, and more..."

Speaking of this, he seemed to be a little exhausted, but soon Iloviz found an appropriate vocabulary.

"More full of love."

"In this way, I won't have a reason to fight you."

Su Zhou glanced at the other party's hand that had already held the hilt of the sword, and shook his head slightly: "It's not too late now. You may have many shortcomings, but at least you are a good person worth saving."

"Well, although it's a bit out of place and a little stupid, you don't even have any resentment on you. You are indeed a good person."

The main reason why Su Zhou was willing to say so much to Iloviz was because of this.

This first knight of the Empire was the strongest and purest ‘good man’ he had ever seen in the world of Aion.

There was no curse on him, nor did his enemies hated him, the people loved him, his colleagues respected him, and even the Sun Emperor, the guy who seemed to be using him, did not think Iloviz was bad.

What kind of person should we be to have such a pure soul?

The answer is actually very simple.

Just do nothing like dusk.

"But, I think you might rather be a bad person than be such a good person." This is Su Zhou's conclusion.

Then, he was shocked to see that the knight who was holding the hilt of his sword in his hand tightly, seemed to be about to draw his sword to fight, actually cried silently because of a word.

Big tears dripped from the corners of Iloviz's closed eyes, but he was laughing. The old-fashioned spirit-burning man laughed and laughed: "Yes, that's it - I did nothing in the past, didn't become a marshal who could control Mihal, did not become a powerful minister who could check and balance the emperor, and did not compete for control of the imperial will - this is my biggest mistake."

"How can I entrust my trust to human nature, believing that a person will never change, always be as energetic and kind as he was when he was young?"

Su Zhou stared at the tears falling from the corner of Iloviz's eyes and dripped on the ground covered by the remains of the flesh and blood sacred wood in the mobile city. He saw that the majestic source energy contained in the tears instantly purified the flesh and blood evaporated, and storms and thunder exploded in the evaporated mist of tears.

He did not look down on the other person because of the other person's crying. On the contrary, Su Zhou understood more than anyone else.

——When a man begins to cry unscrupulously, he no longer cares about the eyes of anyone else.

He just cried for himself and regretted his life's mistakes - he was not fragile, not unbearable, but had completely lost his restraint, lost the reason for stagnation, and made up his mind.

——So, when you are sad, you cry.

Then.

Su Zhou saw the knight pull out the long sword from his waist - a dark golden sword made entirely of soul and condensed with the shining soul of light from Iloviz!

——So, if you want to fight, you will fight.

On the corpse of the flesh and blood divine wood, two strong men confronted each other. Iloviz drew out the long sword in his hand, which was his heart light body, his soul, and his will! A divine weapon flowing with endless divine light, forged to cut off injustice and injustice.

The celestial phenomena have begun to change, and the source energy has begun to change because of the action of the strong, causing the storm and thunder to be born in the sudden clouds. Iloviz's voice sounded in the wind, rumbling like thunder.

"Svetre of Xiguang!"

"In front of you is the son of Belgrade, Iloviz who pacified all directions, the first knight of the empire!"

"If you kill me, there will be no one guarding you in front of the Sun Emperor. The empire will fall apart. The nobles will question the authority of the empire and no longer follow the emperor's orders. The Sun Emperor's actions will be greatly stagnant."
