"Isn't the unknown and the unpredictable the most interesting part of this universe?

If everything is immutable, just like these beings living in a three-dimensional world, forever bound by time, even if they are alive, what is the point of being able to prove their existence?

I know that many of you juggernauts are used to looking straight for answers by snooping through time.

I don't know if you have noticed that with the dependence on this ability, most of the masters are losing their curiosity and creativity, becoming more and more mediocre, and clinging to those boring and boring rules.

I believe that you should understand in your wisdom that the true ruler of the universe should never be like this.

They are not so much dominators as slaves of rules and power. ”

When he said this again, Zhang Cheng's tone revealed undisguised disdain.

He admits that those who don't know how long they have lived do have unimaginable powers, even far more powerful than themselves.

The problem is that these forces have barely grown over such a long period of time, let alone changed on a large scale.

This means that since they officially become the masters, they have inevitably fallen into a state of long-term stagnation, and even their inner subconscious has accepted the harsh reality and is no longer willing to take huge risks to explore the path to higher levels.

Looking at the pride and madness that burst out of Zhang Cheng's eyes, Gru couldn't help but smile bitterly and sighed: "Alas, has it finally come to this point? From the first day we met, I had a hunch that you would eventually embark on this dangerous path, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. I have never been able to understand why you, who come from the three-dimensional universe, are always so anxious that you refuse to stop and rest even for a short time. ”

"Stop, why stop?" Zhang Cheng sneered and shook his head. "Haven't you heard of such a saying? Because life is short, there is an urgent desire to learn, to understand the endless mysteries of the entire universe, and even to go beyond one's own limits to eternity. If you've been to my hometown, you should know that the people who live there often have a lifespan of less than a hundred years, and that if you take out a third to a quarter of the time you spend sleeping and resting, and then you take out nearly twelve years of infancy, there's very little time left at your disposal......"

"But you're completely different from them!" Gru interrupted suddenly.

Perhaps because he had been the master for too long, he obviously did not regard Zhang Cheng and the ordinary humans on the earth as the same kind of life, and did not feel any inevitable connection between the two at all.

Zhang Cheng had long been aware of this, and explained casually: "No, you are wrong. Perhaps from a biological point of view, I have surpassed them countless levels, but my thoughts and habits have remained. That's the biggest difference between me and you. I have always considered myself a human being, and you have completely abandoned the past, and no longer even recognize your race. ”

"You still think you're a human?" Gru's tone revealed undisguised surprise.

He really couldn't imagine how a ruler with a powerful power could retain his primitive and backward concept of race and identity.

"Why not?" asked Zhang Cheng with a shrug of his shoulders. "Leaving the past behind doesn't mean leaving everything behind, especially what is good for you. Although human beings have many shortcomings, such as short-sightedness, selfishness, greed, and are always tempted by endless desires, they also have some advantages that no other race can match. So I don't think there's anything to make a fuss about admitting to being human. ”

"I see...... I think I kind of understand your way of thinking. You retain the human heart that because life is short, you can never wait to catch up and surpass, and you do not hesitate to take huge risks for this. I'm not sure if that's an advantage or a disadvantage, but it's what makes you who you are. Gru concluded thoughtfully.

"That's right, death isn't terrible for me, it's terrible to be stuck in one place forever and not be able to take another step forward. If I live as stagnant as you are, I'd rather embrace death. At least after death, I had the opportunity to embrace and understand one of the most basic rules of the entire universe. Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to ask, did you come here to discuss this with me?"

Zhang Cheng suddenly changed the topic and began to test the other party's intentions.

He didn't think that in this special time, this large beetle would come and talk to him for no reason.

"No! Of course not. Gru shook his head and pulled out a metal plate engraved with unknown words. "Look, this is an ultimatum from the Council of Order. I believe that it will not be long before the war you are expecting will break out in full force. ”

"War?"

Zhang Cheng took it and glanced at the words on the metal plate, an extremely strange expression appeared on his face.

Because the above content is not so much a declaration of war as a partition agreement, just as on the eve of World War II, Germany and the Soviet Union joined forces to partition Poland.

The Council of Order wants to get rid of all the neutral factions before the two sides go to war.

"You don't seem surprised by the result?" Gru said with a hint of amusement.

"Nothing surprising! If two evenly matched forces intend to take out each other, then they will definitely take out the third force that is eyeing each other first. What's more, neutrality means that neither side is pleasing either, and it is completely reasonable to end up being the target of attack. But I'm interested in whether the masters of the neutral factions are really going to be killed?"

As he said this, Zhang Cheng kept staring into Gru's eyes, trying to find some useful information from them.

"Hehe, you'll have to ask them for yourself about this. I've delivered the ultimatum, and it's time for you to make your choice. Remember, you have to report from our base camp before the war officially breaks out, or we won't see you as an ally. ”

As the last word fell, Gru disappeared without a trace once more.

Feeling the power of order faintly revealed in the stone slab, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, and muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "Can a war without death and casualties be considered a war? No! This is not the war I want! I want to see a river of blood, and to see the expression of pain and despair on your proud faces......
