Fighter of the Destiny

Su Li said expressionlessly: The best and last chance for the Southern people has been lost. What will they thank me for? The Zhou people will not thank me except that they think I am a madman.

Chen Changsheng thought for a while and then said: ...Just because you don't like it or thank you doesn't mean you want your senior to die.

Su Li said: In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed. Tianhai, Old Man Yin, and the woman on the Saintess Peak are still thinking about the merger of the north and the south, but I still don't agree. If I don't agree, Li Shan can't agree. The Changsheng Sect cannot agree. The north-south merger... will always be just a big cake drawn on paper. Don't you think these saints want me to die?

Listening to Su Li's words, Chen Changsheng was silent for a long time. Looking at the huge formation he saw on the snowy field when he just left Zhou Garden, he said, The demons... also want to see my senior die.

Do you think this is ridiculous? Remember, the enemy of your enemy is not necessarily your friend, because there is something called interest in the middle. If I die, the continent will be in turmoil. Demon Lord and Tianhai are the two most confident people in the world. They were confident they could take advantage of the chaos and get what they wanted out of it, so of course they all wanted me dead.”

Chen Changsheng looked at Su Li and said seriously and sincerely: Senior, why don't you support the merger of the North and the South? No matter how you look at it, this matter is good for mankind.

Should I do things that are good for mankind? Well, this sentence sounds too much like what the villain said, so I take it back.

Su Li looked at him and said calmly: But can you answer me a question, what is the difference between being ruled by Tianhai and being ruled by the demons?

Chen Changsheng wanted to say that the difference between the two was too big. War between races would always lead to the danger of extinction. War between humans was just a matter of who bowed. But he knew that for people like Su Li, , being dominated itself is an unacceptable situation, and there is really not much difference between the two.

Senior, is the world in your eyes always so dark?

Not dark, but colorless, cold ice. I said, that's profit.

Could it be that...we can't think of the best in the world? This is the third time Chen Changsheng has asked something similar.

No, because this kind of thing has happened many times before. The so-called history is just the evidence of the present, and the so-called present is just the repetition of history. Su Li looked at him and said, I don't want to become the second Zhou Du |Husband, so I won’t believe it either from the demons or from you Zhou people.”

The black willow forest was quiet again. After Chen Changsheng was silent for a long time, he suddenly asked: Senior, are you teaching me?

From the moment he entered the military camp, Su Li had more conversations with him. After that, whether he met assassins or Zhou cavalry, and the seemingly random but actually profound choice of topics in the conversation, all showed that He was trying to teach Chen Changsheng something - how to view the world and how to live.

Su Li looked at him and said with a smile: Isn't it too late to understand now? Rumor has it that you have read through the Dao Zang. Why can't I see any understanding in you?

But...why is this?

Chen Changsheng didn't pay attention to this senior's ridicule, but was quite puzzled. He is from the Zhou Dynasty, and Su Li is from the South. He is a new generation of mountain monsters trained by the state religion. Su Li is a high-ranking kendo master. There is no connection between the two. The camps they belong to are even secretly hostile, let alone Due to the bad relationship between the National Education Academy and the Lishan Sword Sect, and the possible competition between him and Qiu Shanjun in the past and in the future, Su Li had no reason to teach him like a teacher.

Because I admire you very much. Su Li looked at him and said expressionlessly, Is this reason enough?

Chen Changsheng shook his head honestly and said, Senior, of course it's not enough.

Su Li was at a loss for words. If it were any other junior who was taught so patiently by him, not to mention bursting with gratitude, at least after he gave a reason, it would be absolutely impossible for him to continue to ask questions. He looked at the young man's clear and bright eyes and suddenly laughed, thinking that was right. If this little guy was not such a person, how could he have the same temper as him?

Because I hope you can live well and live as long as possible. He said seriously to Chen Changsheng.

Chen Changsheng was slightly startled, thinking, does the senior know that his meridians were cut off and his life was not going to be long?

Su Li's next words showed that he did not know this secret. He said: Because only if you live long enough can you become strong enough. I hope you can continue to be strong until the end.

What's the end?

The next generation of Pope.

...Senior, you want me to become the next generation of pope?

That's right, because you becoming the Pope is the best thing for the Southerners.

Why?

Because you are not willing to kill, let alone be intoxicated with killing. You see things other than life and death very clearly. I have never seen a young man at your age who cares so little about fame and fortune... …Of course, your obsession with my yellow paper umbrella sometimes makes me start to doubt my own judgment.”

I don't know how my seniors can see that I don't care about fame and fortune... just like this can I become the Pope?

Chen Changsheng subconsciously glanced at the gray sky, looking at the snowflakes falling from an unknown place, and said, It feels so far away.

Su Li looked at him with interest and said, Don't you always have this kind of consciousness?

Chen Changsheng looked away and asked in a daze: What kind of consciousness?

Li Gong attaches so much importance to you, trains you, and makes you the youngest Tongyou Shangjing and the youngest director of the National Education Academy in history... If they don't want you to become the next generation of pope, what do those old guys want to do?

Chen Changsheng was silent. He now knows why the Bishop of Merissa takes such good care of him and what the Pope thinks.

After leaving the Tomb of Heavenly Books, all the mysteries have already been answered. But he never quite understood this matter, and subconsciously didn't want to remember it. There were so many things that happened in Zhou Garden that he thought he had really forgotten this matter, until he was awakened by Su Li again.

He is the heir to the state religion.

However, his eyes were still habitually focused on a place not far in front of him, and he was not used to looking up at the sky. Whether it was a gray sky or a clear blue sky, the light was so dazzling. If he returns to Kyoto, as the successor of the state religion, he may have to face the majesty of the Holy Queen, which makes him very uneasy. Of course, he must return to Kyoto first.

(My boss passed away today, so I rushed home after nine o'clock. I hurriedly wrote more than 3,000 words. When I checked, I found that the last 1,000 words were completely wrong. The mistakes were so shocking that I had to delete them. That’s all. There will be two chapters tomorrow.)
