"..."

Faced with Luo Di's question, Li Guanqi opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end nothing came out and he was just speechless.

"You see, if we were in another place, you would make the same decision as me."

Luo Di looked at him, his golden eyes unruffled, and said calmly: "The things in this world are never about what you want to do, but what you can do, what you have to do, how you want to do it, in the face of the general trend

, personal will is insignificant.”

"I thought that a person as strong as you could live freely and as he pleased."

Li Guanqi looked complicated.

"The strongest can indeed be unrestrained."

Luo Di closed his eyes, feeling the breeze blowing on his face, and said in an erratic voice, "I'm just not strong enough. If I were a god and could suppress the world with one hand, then I could also be unrestrained. I have captured many time-travelers. In your place

Before the world..., there were no practitioners.

In that kind of world, personal bravery is not important, so even the emperor has to play with power and people's hearts.

But this is not the case in our world. As long as you are strong enough, you can change the entire world with your own will.

But what’s the problem?

The problem is that I am not strong enough, not enough, not enough..."

At the end of the sentence, the old man sighed softly.

"So, what's next?"

Li Guanqi looked at him and said in a deep voice: "You said before, two days? You only have two days left to live? You should know better than me. According to the current situation, once you die, the ambition of the Eight Kingdoms Pillar will no longer exist.

If people can suppress him, they will kill the prince before he ascends the throne and gains national fortune, and then raises the flag to rebel and start the war in Daluo."

"This cannot be changed."

Luo Di stood with his hands behind his hands, his expression indifferent, "The trouble of the Eight Kingdoms Pillar has been buried since three thousand years ago. It only takes an opportunity for this trouble to completely break out.

I am very strong, and the Ying family is the strongest in history.

Maybe there really is luck in the world?

Is my strength overdrafting the luck of the Ying family?

Huh, who knows.

But in short, starting from my generation, the Ying family began to decline, and the current prince... is not enough, not enough.

Li Guanqi, what you just said is not quite correct.

Even if the prince ascends the throne and is blessed with national fortune, given his level, it will be difficult for him to reach the level of demigod.

In other words, even if he successfully ascends the throne, he will not be able to suppress the rebellion of the Eight Kingdoms Pillars, so the focus is not on whether he ascends the throne or not. The situation of the Eight Kingdoms Pillars' rebellion is irreversible.

The flames of civil war sweeping across the Daluo Dynasty will soon appear.

If possible, I certainly don't want this.

However, since there is no way to save it, we can only look at it optimistically.

If you think about it from another angle, this may not be such a bad thing.”

Having said this, Luo Di narrowed his golden eyes slightly.

"Um?"

Li Guanqi was a little curious, "Isn't it a bad thing? It's hard to imagine that in the face of such a situation, I would hear such words from the mouth of a Daluo emperor."

"Because Ying Quan is right."

Luo Di looked down at the Great Wall of Heaven below and said softly: "He is right, Da Luo is discriminatory towards conjurers... Well, the Ying Quan I am talking about is Ying Xiao, and 'Xiao' is the name he refers to after he left Da Luo.

, the name he gave himself, but 'Quan' was the name he recorded in the Ying family genealogy.

Oh, forget it, let’s call him Ying Xiao, doesn’t he like this name?

Ying Xiao is right, Daluo's discriminatory concept against magicians should not exist.

But if you want to change all this, you must destroy the Great Wall of Heaven and the foundation of our country in Daluo.

Even so, it will take a long, long time to change the mindset of the Daluo people in this land.

Of course, there is a faster way - baptism of war.

War can never be glorified.

But when you look at something, you can't just look at one side.

The other side of war represents purge, reorganization, and reform.

From Daluo to the present day, the state of Zuo has existed for more than three thousand years.

Too long.

As a dynasty, this has lasted too long.

Within Daluo, the aristocratic parties headed by the Eight Kingdoms Pillars are fighting endlessly. The powerful families control most of the dynasty's resources and are unwilling to throw some away even if they are vomiting.

The wine and meat in Zhumen stinks, and there are frozen bones on the road.

What's funny is that this verse, which has been handed down from ancient times, is still so relevant today. The world has really not changed at all.

Those old guys who stand on top will never be able to get ahead while suppressing the young people below. Even the whims of the powerful and a political struggle can ruin the lives of the dynasty's most powerful ministers...

Distorted thoughts, entangled interests.

All kinds of shabby things are like moths, constantly eating away at this dynasty, which makes me tired of seeing it.

But what can I do?

There's nothing I can do.

It is these moths that eat away at the dynasty.

But the funny thing is that it is precisely these moths that maintain the dynasty's existence.

I don't understand, I don't know how, I, I really don't know what to do.

Sometimes I think that maybe my father was right when he said that I am only suitable to be a martial artist, not an emperor. Sooner or later, I will be trapped for the rest of my life because of what happened on the Dragon Throne.

As a young person, I didn’t quite understand.

But now I understand that what my father said is correct.

I'm really annoyed..."

Speaking of this, Luo Di sighed deeply, "I am obviously just a martial artist, but because I sat on that dragon chair, I have never had a hearty battle in half my life... How could I do this back then?

I made such a stupid decision, if I didn't sit on that throne, I should be able to live a happier life."

Um?

After hearing this, Li Guanqi realized belatedly that from somewhere, the old man in the black and gold emperor's robe suddenly stopped calling himself "I".

"So, the dragon chair is a restraint?"

Li Guanqi looked at Luo Di and asked curiously.

"Is responsibility a bondage?"

Luo Di just asked a question.

"Forehead……"

Li Guanqi was slightly startled and didn't know how to answer.

"The dragon chair is not only a symbol of the throne, but also a yoke of responsibility."

Luo Di looked at him and said softly: "But this is my destiny. My surname is Ying and I come from the Ying royal family. So I have an obligation and responsibility to protect Daluo and protect all Daluo people from the flames of war.

Invasion is the responsibility of the royal family.

Yes, you can say that Daluo today is indeed not that good.

But at least it's better than being swept away by war, isn't it?

In our world, strength is the core of power. The so-called imperial power and status all come from strength.

However, the children of the Ying family of my generation are weak and have been influenced by power and interests. If they are allowed to ascend to the throne, I am afraid that the ambitions of the Eight Kingdoms Pillars will break out earlier, and the civil war in Daluo may have started decades ago.

In that generation, only I could take over the responsibility of this imperial power.

Many people thought that I ascended the throne by forcing the previous emperor to convict.

They all thought that me going to the Violet Imperial Capital and challenging the parliament alone was my way of forcing the palace.

But this is not the case.

The person who asked me to go to the Violet Imperial Capital was none other than the late emperor, my father.

That old man...it was obvious that he wanted me to be the emperor, and he wanted me to shoulder my responsibilities, but on the eve of his ascension to the throne, he told me privately that I was actually not suitable to be the emperor, and that I would definitely be annoyed to death in the future. He was really

A bastard."
