Perhaps Y'zaks is not the only monarch in their world who is interested in the universe. In any world, there will always be people who look up at the starry sky, but Y'zaks is definitely the most powerful one among them—and also the most decisive in action one of.
When he realized that with his own power, or even with the power of the entire demon race, it would be difficult to explore the boundary of the space bubble area, and the turbulent wars in the world would seriously interfere with his exploration actions, he thought that the entire The world is united in one camp, not for some false righteousness, not for a sacred mission, he has only one purpose, and that is to see what the real universe outside the space bubble area looks like.
Unknowingly, he has changed from simply wanting to expand his territory at the beginning, to gradually becoming interested in the universe itself, and feeling extremely disgusted with his mediocre first half of his life and the same mediocre world as a whole. It took him hundreds of years to transform his mind, and this was an area that no demon before him had thought about. He sums up his transformation thus: "The more I see, the more I realize my ignorance, and I become awed by the universe, eager to unravel its secrets—and it takes an entire power of the world."
If it is other races, or the "standard heroes" that only appear in religious stories, when trying to unite the whole world, they will probably choose a righteous slogan and use a sacred name to call people to unite. Use diplomacy and justice to achieve this great goal. But Y'zaks will not do this, he is a demon, a simple and rude demon king, so he chooses a simpler and more rude method:
He decided to turn the whole world upside down.
And he almost succeeded.
"Justice slogans and diplomatic rhetoric are weak things." I'zaks spread his hands, looking at what he did back then with a demonic worldview, "I may have failed, but I think my path at the beginning was correct .I began to integrate all the races that I could rule. I invaded the human kingdom, the forest of the elves and the iron castle of the dwarves. I also invaded the territory of other demons, but the difference is that I no longer fight to enslave those races, What I need are subjects, loyal, civilized, intelligent subjects who can understand my philosophy. I established a symbiotic city in the world of demons to create an environment suitable for each race to live in, and treat them equally.
"It was difficult at first, not because the enemies were strong. It was because it was difficult for demons to understand the way other races think and to live in peace with other creatures, not even me: I tried to take care of the aliens , but I found that I could only scare them. So I started to learn the culture of other races...
"It was a wonderful experience. No demon has ever tried to understand the words 'culture' and 'art'. Maybe I am fundamentally different from other demons. I am deeply fascinated by them, and soon Immerse yourself in it.
"After absorbing enough cultures of various races, I issued a decree. I became the first demon king to formulate a complete legal system. I ordered all races in my kingdom to be equal, and ordered them to live for the same goal, except In addition, I enjoy the highest degree of freedom. I ordered that the demons, as a powerful race, must protect those weak but intelligent races to ensure that my scientific research projects can go smoothly. I also formulated the 'moral regulations based on the consensus of all races and cultures. ', any race living in my kingdom must abide by these moral norms to ensure the order of the entire society.
"Those who violate the above regulations shall be punished uniformly by death."
Hao Ren felt that he had a deeper understanding of Y'zaks' approach. He was a devil who practiced the standards of a saint, but the reverse was also true—he was a saint who acted in a devil's way. He is a tyrant in another sense: a moral tyrant.
Humans will probably never have such a ruler, and only the devil's unique thinking circuit can create an alternative individual like Yizaks.
"How should I put it... In fact, you still took a detour," Hao Ren thought about his words. "Your way of doing things is too rough, although it does work. But it only works on demons, other races are very complicated-especially humans..."
"By the time I discovered this, my empire was on the verge of collapse," Y'zaks smiled wryly. "Enemies are everywhere, both inside and outside the empire. All kingdoms in the world are declaring war on me. They gave me a nickname, Call me the 'King of Madness', and some are also called 'Mad Demon King'. The external races regard me as a conspirator who intends to destroy the world, and many internal races begin to split due to various inexplicable reasons. Some People are still loyal to me, but more people somehow rebelled. The most terrible thing is my fellow demons-they can't allow a 'moral scum' like me in the demons. At the beginning, They can't beat me, so they stay away, but when I'm in trouble, they attack in groups."
Y'zaks sighed, and the expression on his face suddenly became weird: "The most ironic thing is that an unprecedented joint force has finally been established in my hometown. Humans, elves, dwarves, dark elves, half-orcs... unprecedented, almost all of the world The races are all united, forming a joint force that has never been seen in tens of thousands of years, and the alliance of all races that I have always dreamed of is finally established before my eyes—to kill me."
Y'zaks picked up the wine bottle and gulped it down.
Hao Ren was infected by this thrilling and heroic history, and couldn't help but pick up his glass, but Yzaks held him down: "Don't mind, just listen to me, you can easily kill yourself if you drink too much …”
"I'm not good enough," Hao Ren chuckled, raised his neck and drank the wine, muttering with twitching corners of his mouth, "I just don't like it, but it's not like I can't drink it."
Then he looked up at Y'zaks, hesitated for a long time before telling the truth: "Actually... I don't know if I should say something or not."
"Say it," Y'zaks grinned, "you're being polite to me."
Hao Ren's strength is honesty: "You were a bit lacking in understanding back then."
Yizaks froze for a moment, stared and reacted for a long time before bursting out into a burst of laughter: "Haha... you really are..."
Y'zaks was out of breath laughing, the noise was so loud that even the cat upstairs jumped out of the window on the second floor, and Vivian, who was busy stewing children at the door, greeted him outside with a loud voice. One sentence: "What are you doing?"
Y'zaks waved his hand to stop laughing, and suddenly looked at Hao Ren seriously: "You're right, I'm short-sighted and think things too simply. Looking back now... I find that the matter of integrating the world is true. Not fit for a devil to do it."
"It has nothing to do with the devil, you are too impatient," Hao Ren waved his hand, "Take your time, you are waiting to live for 18,000 years like playing, can't you slowly push over country by country? Anyway, wait for their older generation After death, the rest must be obedient citizens, why do you want to overthrow the whole world in one go?"
Yzaks was stunned, and tapped his big bald head: "It would be great if you were my military advisor. My military advisor is a joker. It's okay to fight local wars, but it's impossible to plan the overall situation. Alas, it's all in the past It's over, mention this dry egg."
Hao Ren asked cautiously: "Then your daughter you mentioned just now..."
He saw that the topic of Yizaks had been getting farther and farther, and it was talking about hundreds of years of war history, so he brought up the topic at the beginning.
Y'zaks sighed heavily: "Dead, followed my last demon brigade, and my last Obsidian City, fell into the crack... a year ago. After that, I wandered around for a while, I was caught by other demons, and then I was rescued by a passing Xiling God, and then I came to your side... "
Y'zaks's voice became lower and lower, and he finally sighed: "Alas... hundreds of years of glory, great ambitions, are all in vain now, the world is too big, we are too small... Maybe I was really wrong Well, I really think too much, I can't even keep my own child, and I want to conquer the entire universe, hey, you are so careless."
"boom-"
In the sky outside the window, a ball of fireworks exploded, and under the light, thousands of families were reunited.
Hao Ren sat opposite Y'zaks, and he reached out his hand to pat the latter's shoulder.
But at this moment, there was a sudden noise from outside the door, and Lily's bluffing voice came in:
"Landlord, landlord! I killed someone!" (to be continued~^~)
