Demon Lord 3

At first, I didn’t understand what the True God told me. After all, my understanding of the world is that it is people who drive the world’s progress, but the True God told me that it is the progress of the world that drives these people. Because of the progress of the world, people’s thoughts have changed. I asked the True God what if he didn’t appear. The True God said it was impossible for all the changes to happen in one day, and maybe there would be changes in the next life, so people have birth, old age, sickness and death. I asked the True God what if these people never died, what if they were immortal. The True God said that people who can reach that level, at least their thoughts are avant-garde, and they can progress according to the world. If they haven’t reached that level, it is impossible. I asked the True God that many people died very early, but their thoughts were very progressive, so why is this still the case? Is there really such a thing as God being jealous of talented people? The True God smiled without saying a word, then pointed at me and asked me what kind of person I thought I was. I answered that I was an ordinary person, but the True God shook his head and said that to this world, I was not an ordinary person. He could tell me responsibly that sometimes he chatted with me because I was smart and capable. I shook my head and said that I was not smart. If I was capable, it might be due to my talent. I didn't think I worked very hard. In fact, compared to everyone who practiced hard, I spent more time being lazy. I might be able to understand a lot of things just by sleeping, but everyone had to think for a long time. The True God told me that this was my innate ability. Many people are born with this ability. If you are born a fool, no matter how hard you try, it may not be ideal. He asked me if I hope to change the world. I shook my head. In fact, I had already answered that question just now. I don't want to change the world. I think how the world changes is the world's own business. It is not something I can change overnight. Suddenly, I also understood a truth, that is, since I can't change the world, the world is created by itself, not by human beings. Thinking of this, I suddenly had an epiphany. I seemed to understand this truth: no matter how the world progresses, it is the world's progress that drives change in people, not the world's progress being brought about by people. Having suddenly realized this, I said goodbye to the True God. The True God asked me where I was going, and I said I wanted to find a place to think about this problem carefully. In fact, the True God had already enlightened me halfway, but the other half had not been solved. The True God asked me what it was, and I shook my head and said I didn't know yet, I could only think about it slowly. The True God ignored me and told me to find a place to think about it. Afterwards, I felt a little grateful. The True God also casually conjured up a flower and curiously asked if I was giving it to him. I nodded and said it had been so long since I'd made a formal friend, but today I really wanted to. He suddenly asked curiously why. I explained that the reason I wanted to be friends wasn't because he was lonely, nor was it out of pity. It was because I hadn't figured out a question before bed, and then, with a sudden flash of inspiration, I thought of the True God. Actually, at that time, I considered the True God a friend, not an enemy as I'd previously suggested. I'd harbored this thought for a long time, but had never been too embarrassed to voice it. I considered the True God a supreme being, and I didn't dare befriend someone so high. But then I thought, couldn't the True God also help me? Perhaps a friend could help us fight alongside him. The True God accepted the flowers, but then asked me, "If one day the True God and my friends were at odds, who would I support?" Thinking of this, I asked the True God why he would do that. The True God replied, "Perhaps it was due to self-interest, or perhaps it was due to different perspectives, that the fight started." If the True God wanted to kill my friends, would I help those who were against me? At this thought, I froze. I looked at him, then back toward my home. I felt like my family and friends over there must be feeling threatened. The True God is so powerful. If he truly gets it right someday, perhaps that day is still very near. What will I do then? The True God is also my friend. Now that I've acknowledged this friend, I can't dwell on who came first or who came later, or on the idea that friends are far away or near. If I really had to choose, I might not choose anyone, but that's not who I am! The True God, seeing me like this, shook his head and told me to go back and choose slowly. There's plenty of time.
