"Why not barbarism?"

Ignoring the admonition of his son beside him, although Akhalonov knew that he was far weaker than Su Sun, he did not flinch at all.

He thought he was right, and naturally fearless, the old general pushed Okolyov, who was intent on stopping him, to the side, looked up at the four dragons, and looked at Su Sun, who bowed his head, his eyes flashed with determination: "You have also experienced wars, and you know the turmoil of rebellion - Svetley, you have even failed!" “

"You know that doing so will trigger a rebellion of the nobility, cause many mobile cities to declare their independence, and start a decades-long turmoil once again - and at that time, the Holy Day will probably be extinguished, and even the Holy Day will be extinguished, and the war will not end. Because people are so stupid, they will dwell on some inconsequential things in the face of a crisis, instead of dealing with real suffering. ”

Akhalonov raised his hand and pointed high at Su Ri: "Ignoring the final result and blindly destroying everything, isn't this barbarism?" The continuation of civilization is the most important thing, as long as the majority of people are still alive, then it is also the most normal choice to give up some of them! ”

Sensing such a passionate emotion from the other party, Su Yan shook his head.

"But you're wrong."

The four dragons, their heads lowered and their scales like stairs, walked down step by step to the Akhalonov father and son.

He held a large shield in his hand, and every step he took on the ground was like an impregnable fortress advancing, and almost everyone bowed their heads, not daring to look at the man's form, for it would blind them, as if they were looking directly at the sun.

"Am I wrong?"

Only Akhalonov still glared at Su Sun: "Why do you say that? Don't think you can force me to admit my mistake! ”

The old man's words carried a sense of sublime like that of a martyr.

Yes, Svetre was strong, the Third Army was defeated in its entirety, and their lives were in the hands of the opposing side.

But so what? The other party is just a barbarian with brute strength, he has never thought about the future of civilization, nor has he considered the world situation, the entanglement between forces, but he just patted his head and felt that he was right, so he had to interfere with their actions to save the world.

Akhalonov was not afraid of death at all, and even, dying for his own way, he would only be proud.

But Su Sun didn't care about his anger, and he could understand where his anger came from.

Indeed, according to Akhalonov's logic, the actions of the Asmodean Empire, although quite barbaric and bloody, can indeed guarantee the survival of civilization.

Su Yan knew that not everyone was like him, with the power to change the world, and most of the time they could only take advantage of the situation and find a path that was not so bad.

Without power, there is no way to choose the right one - Su Sun can be regarded as fully understanding why the dependents and dependents of great beings will have the power given by great beings.

Perhaps, that is not a preference, nor a reward, but a basic condition.

- Because without the power, let alone the fulfillment of wishes and the right achievement, they are not even allowed to choose the right path closer to the right.

Su Tian didn't blame them for taking a fork in the road, for a world where there were no traversers and no miracles happening, this might be a reasonable necessity.

But they should be self-aware, and they should know that they are not on the right path, and they should work hard towards 100 points.

And they should know what to do when it's right.

"I can save everyone."

Therefore, he reminded him to speak, and said to the old general in front of him: "Don't worry about rebellion and independence, and don't worry about any troubled times, you don't even need to worry about the Holy Day and the Dragon of Dusk, for I will suppress all disobedience, and rekindle the Holy Day, and rejuvenate the Divine Tree." ”

"I will revive the World Tree. As for the Dragon of Twilight, the old thoughts let him pass away, and if I want to remember, I will remember it alone. ”

"I can do all of this, I can afford to carry the whole Aion world."

At this moment, Su Sun's palm was raised, and layers of phantoms appeared in front of him, and under his power, these phantoms quickly turned from virtual to real.

The man raised his head slightly, motioning for the old general to watch.

——That is the surrounding area of the Xiguang Society, where villages use alchemy creations to cultivate land and farm, and they are prosperous, quite a scene of mechanized planting on the earth.

——It was the scene around the Great Hall of the Extreme Northern Inheritance, where ordinary people, whether they were the tribesmen of the Northlands, the residents of Yanshuang, or the demonizers and non-demonizers who came from all over the world, all of them collectively participated in the Enlightenment Inheritance, practiced and labored, and at the same time supported themselves, and learned the source energy skills.

- It was the sight of everyone living together and fighting for the future after leaving behind their hatred for each other.

And, of course, at the top of the Xiguang Tower, there is a small crystalline tree that is shining with the light of the Holy Sun, and the seedlings of the Burning Sacred Tree are thriving.

In a year's time, although the Burning Divine Tree is far from reaching the time of maturity, even if it wants to become the scale of the Banyan Immortal Tree in the past, it will probably take more than a hundred years.

However, simply shining on a large area centered on the Xiguang Mountains is more than enough to take on the role of maintaining a local ecosphere.

In a hundred years, the heavenly holy days will be extinguished, but new holy days will grow and shine on the world once more.

Su Tian did not change a single point, these are the most real pictures, they are all past and present, everything that is happening in the sphere of influence of the Xiguang Association.

He thinks Akhalonov can see it.

But that's not the end.

Because, there was another phantom, which appeared on the other side of Su Sun's body.

- It is a mobile city, being oppressed by gangs, discriminated against by ordinary people, obviously carrying the hopes of their relatives, and finally being hunted and put into the heart of the source energy furnace.

- It is the area around the desert ravaged by natural disasters, many simple buildings, and the poor people struggling to survive in them, they have no help from the mobile city, they can only constantly move under the threat of natural disasters and magic moons, and their lives are extremely low, and they are not even worthy of being oppressed and exploited by the nobles.

It was a child who was born destined to suffer and have a bad fate, for he was the son of the Demon, born in the slums, and even if he was intelligent and free of demonization, he was destined to be rejected by men, and his desire to gain respect for himself was denounced as 'barbaric' by those who stood up to him.

Because disrespecting the people at the bottom is part of this order, and if the untouchables want to respect, they are destroying the order and destroying civilization.

In the eyes of those decent people who wear smooth coats, eat rice and meat, have plenty of food and clothing, and spend the winter without worry, such order is a good civilization, and those who destroy this good civilization on which they depend for their livelihood are barbarians who should be spurned.

Even, in the phantom, there is such a memory.

A mother who gives birth to ten children and buries three because she is too poor to support them is very normal for poor families, and it is very common for poor families to bury their own children, and even to have abortions in order not to have any more children, after all, they do not have contraception.

There was also a mother in Uptown whose child was killed in the riots, and at the funeral, she cried very sadly and howled loudly.

"What are you crying about?" Hearing this, the slum mother, who was washing clothes, thought: "How many children have we died, and we have never cried at all. ”

It's not that she doesn't feel sad for her dead child, but she really doesn't feel that human life is so precious, how can she work when she cries so badly? She has seven more children to raise.

Of course, this is still limited to the average person.

And what about the aristocracy?

The aristocratic mother of the Aion world has a child who has died, and in order to keep her child from being lonely, she will find a few commoner and poor children as a burial companion to serve as playmates and servants in the future.

Such a custom is not even unusual.

People's joys and sorrows are not interconnected, even if they experience the same thing.

Who is more savage?

What's wrong?

The answer is this social order.

Su Sun stared at Akhalonov, who was staring at all these phantoms with his eyes open.

He could see a little unquenched light in this old general, and he didn't know if it was because the kindness in his nature had not been extinguished, or because of the influence of other people, but he felt that the other party would know that he was wrong.

It is a joy to eliminate mistakes when it is right, but it is even more joyful to be able to admit that mistakes are wrong before they die.

Because death is not the result.

Just like an online debate, the argument may continue until one party gives up and ends the topic, but giving up is not the result, and one party admits that he or she is wrong.

In order to prove that he did have this power, and it was not just empty nonsense, Su Sun showed Akhalonov the power of his Burning Spirit Realm, showed his past achievements, and then said what he wanted to do in the future.

Su Sun even showed Akhalonov how he would reform in the future: he would use the Arctic Ice Fields and the Frost Collar as the core to ensure the growth of the Burning Divine Tree, and then carry out a step-by-step sweep of the forces on all sides, and suppress all the inferior nobles with absolute strength.

He will reform agriculture and create a new source energy engine, the design of the engine is very advanced, although Akhalonov does not know if it can work, is it true, but after reading it, he feels that this design is very mature, it is impossible to deceive himself, and it is not more pleasant to have this energy to make a shield to beat himself?

It turns out.

Su Sun has a program, a plan, and his own goals.

He walked step by step, steadily. He believed that struggle was necessary, but that struggle must find the right way and enemy, unite friends, and win over intermediaries.

"Empire...... You can't do that. ”

Although on the surface it still maintains stubbornness, in reality, Akhalonov's heart has begun to waver.

Because the imperial system means that they have natural enemies and classes that need to be ruled, they will not have friends.

Because the emperor is alone, he needs to rule over his courtiers, and many of the time among them are only fighting for their own interests, not for a better tomorrow for all.

"That's all I'm going to do."

Su Sun answered all the questions that the old general had questioned before, and cut off the path of the other party's turn.

Su Ri thought that Akhalonov knew all this, and he would not fail to understand.

So, he asked.

"Now, the self-proclaimed civilized general has two paths ahead of you, one is to use the demons as fuel, the people as gray cattle, and the pace of progress is only for the interests of the nobles and the emperor."

"On the other hand, everyone is equal, everyone has the obligation to learn, the obligation to serve everyone, everyone can practice source energy, they can control their own destiny, and the pace of progress is for themselves and for everyone."

Su Sun held up the illusion of the two roads in front of the stunned Akhalonov, and he said calmly: "Civilized you, how will you choose?" ”

The old general opened his mouth, his mouth was dry, but he could not speak.

At this moment, in Su Day's heart, he finally understood why even if he was as correct as the Twin Divine Trees, representing the great existence of 'existence' and 'continuation', he still couldn't defeat the dusk.

He also knew why Yara refused to fully admit that the other party was right, even though he didn't argue with Shenmu, and even admitted that they were right most of the time.

The answer is actually quite simple.

"Existence is not right, it is just reasonable."

Su Yan thought silently in his heart, and he sighed.

"And there is a difference of 108,000 miles between reasonable and correct, there are more tragic and indescribable worlds in the multiverse than this Aion world, they must exist for a reason and reasonable, but they are not correct at all."

Closing his eyes, Su Sun couldn't help but shake his head in his heart: "Yes...... Yara may be right. ”

"Right, it doesn't exist."

"But it doesn't matter."

At this moment, Akhalonov raised his head, his eyes were a little dazed, of course he knew that everything in these phantoms was true, he had seen such a sad world, so he didn't want to see a more miserable world, so he wanted to maintain the current civilization and ensure the stability of existence.

But in many cases, the stability on the Aion continent is nothing more than the stable and inefficient slaughter of poor people.

Otherwise, with the size and technology of the Aion Continent, it would be extremely simple to feed hundreds of billions of people.

"But ......" until this time, the old general still did not want to admit that his gray hair was soaked with sweat and hung down on his sideburns.

Wiping off a handful of sweat, Akhalonov struggled and said: "But all this is so that all the people who still exist can live stably!" ”

Hearing this, Su Yan shook his head slightly.

"Civilization is not such a superficial thing as order, stability, continuity and existence...... If you really think that civilization is nothing more than the flow of thought in the world, the accumulation of some cultures, and the combination of some social phenomena, you feel that the word civilization represents everything that already exists. ”

"You'll never understand what civilization really means."

- What exactly is civilization?

At this moment, Su Yan could hear Akhalonov's heart asking.

So he raised his hand and pointed it to himself, and then to the other person's heart.

"Ask yourself."

The man said lightly.

"What's the best thing you can imagine about civilization? Isn't it better than the current one? Isn't it brighter than it is now? ”

"Isn't it more perfect, joyful, beautiful, beautiful, lovely, and countless times more desirable than it is now?"

"But that's just imagination, it's unreasonable and doesn't exist...... the old general clenched his fists, he did imagine such a future, unrealistic, a world that never existed.

A world of great harmony.

That's why he gritted his teeth and denied it.

"That's something that doesn't exist!"

He hissed and roared, "Absolutely impossible fantasy...... What's the use of knowing that?! ”

"So that's the right thing to do."

And Su Yan nodded calmly and acknowledged.

At this moment, he smiled and looked down at the old general who had already lowered his head: "Fantasizing about 'beautiful things that don't exist', and then taking steps towards 'beautiful futures that don't exist', when thousands of people walk forward like this, it is the embodiment of the essence of civilization." ”

"Civilization is not just a noun, it's an adjective – we should be civilized people."

"Innovators who are moving towards a 'better'!"

Su Sun lowered his shield, and the crystal giant shield flowed with a light like a holy day, enveloping the entire Third Army's battle array.

And in this light, Akhalonov was silent for a long time.

From the fearless sarcasm at the beginning, to the impassioned afterward, to the rebuttal of intent that followed, and finally to silence, everything happened in just a few minutes.

The four dragons stood between heaven and earth, the Third Army stood still, and all the soldiers heard the conversation between Su Sun and Akhalonov, some of them were dazed and incomprehensible, some of them clenched their fists and felt indignant.

But in the same way, there are also those whose eyes are wide open and astonished in astonishment.

They understood Su Sun's words, like a thunderbolt tearing through the dark clouds, causing the sun to pierce into their hearts.

Even the general on Akhalonov's side, his son Okolyov, had his eyes wide open.

He subconsciously grabbed his hair and scratched it in pain.

This soldier, who only knew how to obey orders, suddenly noticed one thing, that is, all the people they had suppressed and killed over the years, those who they did not understand the reason at all, and only found it annoying, why they had revolted one after another and rebelled against all this.

He understood, finally understood, but only understood.

So, he suddenly felt shame.

Su Sun stood in front of the generals, but he seemed to be standing in front of everyone.

-- Wake up --

-- It's the right moment --

There was a silent rod that exploded above their hearts.

The flames burned brightly, and the fire that had been kindled in the wilderness before dawn had not yet been extinguished, and the harsh tongues of fire spread among the bushes, turning into scars that had broken the plain to pieces.

Looking around at all the soldiers and servicemen of the Third Army, Su Sun hoped that the flame could also be lit in people's hearts, so that they could shine brightly.

Although he can regenerate the Burning Divine Tree and make the world no longer dark, he also hopes that the Burning Flame can burn in the hearts of everyone in the land of Aion.

That kind of light is the real day, which can illuminate this world shrouded in twilight.

“…… You, you're right. ”

And in the end, after the old general was silent for a long time, he finally sighed and admitted: "Yes, indeed, I was wrong, we were all wrong." ”

He bowed his head decadently, knelt on one knee, and used the longbow in his hand as a crutch: "The reason why we don't change is simply because I'm a general, Michal is an emperor, we're all rulers, and who would think of killing themselves?" ”

"It's Ilovitz...... Iloviz, he has always been a knight, and he is only a knight, and he doesn't even want to be a nobleman...... So, he's the right ......"

He smiled wryly and had to admit it all.

Because Su Yan has power and authority, he controls the life and death of everyone in the Third Army, and only in a thought.

Otherwise, even if he really knew that Su Sun was right, Akhalonov would not admit it, but would attack Su Sun, kill him with all his strength, and annihilate his words in the dust.

He'd certainly do it — and even in the past.

But now, he couldn't pretend not to know, ignore it, or turn in, because Su Sun was right in front of him.

It was precisely because he realized that he would indeed do this, that at this moment, Akhalonov felt ashamed.

Knowing what is right, but still choosing the wrong way, just because it is better for oneself, so one despises the dignity of others.

Only then did he realize that he was so despicable.

"Then surrender and take the entire Third Army with you."

And Su Sun's voice sounded.

In the past, no one had ever persuaded an entire army to surrender, because no one had ever had absolute destructive power over an entire army, even in the realm of burning spirits, in the face of a strong army led by a strong man in the disaster realm, he could not say that he was victorious, and he would definitely be able to annihilate the other party.

But Su Sun is different.

The man said this in a tone as sparse as if he were urging people to go to bed early and get up early: "Your power should be used to create a new world, not to maintain an old one." ”

"Abandon those senseless glory, your blood should be shed for a better future, and loyalty should be given to your parents and family, not a ridiculous emperor."

Between the virtual and the real, the four dragons that controlled the flow of energy in the entire Northwest Wilderness watched the four directions at the same time, and no one had a chance to fight back.

That's all that matters.

Su Sun's strength ensured that everyone could only talk to him, not fight with their hands.

After six years of practice, he finally managed to do one thing.

That is, everyone in the whole world can only reason with him calmly.

"That's right."

At this moment, Su Sun seemed to remember something: "Also, tell that Sun Emperor that if he is willing to cooperate with me to create a new world, I will give him a lenient sentence when I judge him, at least I won't eat it." ”

Although he didn't understand Su Sun's concept of not being able to eat, the disgraced Akhalonov shook his head, he clenched his fists, and said with a wry smile: "No, it's impossible." ”

"Michal will not change, he is my friend and monarch, I know how stubborn and arrogant he is, he became emperor in order to be qualified to judge everyone, so that no one in the world can judge him."

"And."

Speaking of this, raising his head, Akhalonov's expression carried a wistful smile, and the old man mocked himself sarcastically: "He is us." ”

"Asmodee XIII is the heart of the Sun Emperor, but the Sun Emperor is more than just Asmodeus XIII."

He raised his head and looked at Su Sun, who was staring solemnly, and the old general stretched out his hand and pointed to his heart: "The Sun Emperor is the will of the empire. In other words. ”

"—is our will."

"An immortal god, a monster we have created."

"The gods of the multitude? The way to "unity"? Or is it the path of order of [coordination]? Su Ri was keenly aware of the meaning of Akhalonov's words, but could not get an answer.

Because at this moment, Akhalonov pulled out his saber from his waist, a long sword forged from the top-of-the-line ice pur source energy steel.

"Surrender." At the moment, he said to everyone.

Then, the old general condensed his whole body source energy, collapsed his soul, heart light body, and source energy core, and then slashed at his head with a sword.

All the struggles in his life were denied, and he suddenly realized that all the hardships and setbacks he had experienced, all the pain and suffering he endured, were meaningless, and the hard work he had put into his life's struggles would be in vain.

He has no shame to live.

- Nothingness.

At the last moment of his life, this word suddenly appeared in Akhalonov's mind.

It's too nihilistic.

Just for the sake of existence, just for the continuation of the empire, all the evil done in order to live, all the hard work poured into it, will eventually turn into nothingness with death, especially if this death is his own suicide, it is simply meaningless.

But he had a realization in his heart.

To transcend nothingness is to transcend existence, not just to do something in order to live, but to do something higher and more right.

"I did not die to atone for my sins, nor to escape, I have no shame to atone for my sins, and I cannot escape."

Before the soul self shattered, the general's mind came out with such a flash of fragments.

Death was his last resistance.

Boom, thunderous roar resounded through the sky.

In this huge shock, in front of the Third Army's battle array, the mountain giant's mental light body collapsed and disintegrated like a building in an earthquake, its head fell, and then turned into dust in midair.

- General of the Third Army of the Reich, Duke of Tirole, Akhalonov in the Northwestern Wilderness.

Because of intolerable shame and mistakes.

Blood spilled all around, Akhalonov's headless body fell to his knees, Okolyov on one side cried out in surprise, he threw himself forward, picked up his father's head as fast as he could, only to find that the other party did not close his eyes even if he died.

He stared at the world.

Su Sun did not stop the other party's suicide.

Akhalonov had committed many sins, and the rebel army of the original owner of his body had been exterminated under his command, and the death of millions of people in a city could be attributed to his orders, and the general had given such orders no less than twenty times.

When he first entered the world of Aion, Su Yan was shocked that his student Gasha had slaughtered 20 million people in the future, and felt that the other party was a real demon king.

But now, although Akhalonov did not slaughter with his own hands, no less than 20 million people died on his orders.

Coupled with the deaths of imperial tyranny, this number is even more than the number of massacres led by the Great Khan of the Twilight.

If you have to be evil, the emperor of the empire is the real demon emperor.

So, this is the ending that Akhalonov deserves, and Su Sun will not stop the other party.

But he was still silent, because the other party admitted his mistake before he died, that kind of repentance.

Also, the information that was revealed.

"Asmodee XIII."

He looked up at the sunset, the dark horizon, and the red moon that had just risen.

The remnants of the spirit of the Sacred Tree shine on the world, providing all life in this world with its former blessings and the curses of the present.

Su Sun clenched his fists, and the shield in his hand, and a raging fire burned in the depths of his doubtful eyes.

"The Sun Emperor ......"

He whispered to himself, "What kind of monster are you?" ”

Try timing it later!
