Outrageous! Your cute plant spirits are more powerful than dragon spirits?

After that, Qin Wen wandered around Dao City.

Although in history, Di Xin is known as King Zhou, a tyrannical ruler, and has a poor reputation.

But the Di Xin depicted here is completely different from the image he is familiar with.

He knew nothing about Di Xin of this world.

One way to understand him is by observing the entire Dao City in detail.

Explore Di Xin's style of doing things from every corner and every detail of this city.

Only in this way can he understand this person on a deeper level.

If he truly becomes the new "Heavenly Way"!

What would the world be like under his rule?

"Ha, I've been influenced by him without even realizing it..."

Qin Wen murmured softly, a complex emotion welling up inside him.

He shook his head and strolled through the streets and alleys of Daocheng.

This time, he didn't simply observe the environment and the appearance of the creatures here, as he had done at the beginning.

Instead, they observed their overall behavior and expressions more closely.

He wanted to sense Di Xin's influence and understand the true nature of Dao City from these subtle details.

The residents of Daocheng are all different in appearance.

There was an elderly man dressed in a simple, ancient robe, with a solemn expression.

They chatted in twos and threes, seemingly reminiscing about their past glories.

Or perhaps, alone, one sits quietly on a stone bench by the street, gazing thoughtfully into the distance.

There were strong and vigorous young men, who walked with a brisk pace and full of energy.

Some carried greatswords on their backs, their eyes gleaming with determination and courage, as if they were ready to fight for the honor of Dao City at any moment.

Some busily shuttle between shops, working hard to make a living in Daocheng.

There are even many lively children here!

They laughed and played in the street, their clear laughter echoing in the air.

These people are not human.

It was only because of the rules of Dao City that people were formed.

But regardless of their background, they all seemed to have a sense of longing and hope for the future on their faces.

"Everyone here has hope," Yan Nishang said with a sigh. "Hope to go home."

"Unify your thoughts and actions, as if they were your own arms," ​​Qin Wen said in a deep voice.

His voice carried a hint of seriousness, as if he were pondering some important question.

"Let's go and take a look around the outside."

Immediately afterwards, the group headed towards the outer perimeter.

The situation on the outside is completely different from that on the inside.

This place is in complete chaos!

The chaos was indescribable.

The various noises intertwined, making people feel annoyed and confused.

People ran, shouted, and fought in the chaos, as if the end of the world was about to come.

It's a completely different world from the one inside.

It's like the two sides of a world.

Where there is yin, there must be yang!

Qin Wen suddenly gained a deeper understanding of Dao City.

Why did Emperor Xin refer to the people here as sinners?

Why is the path of return called atonement?

He also gained new insights.

At first, he thought that the so-called leader of this city was in cahoots with the so-called "Heavenly Way".

They wanted to suppress other living beings and cause them to perish here.

But after looking around, and considering what Di Xin had said...

Qin Wen suddenly felt that doing so might not be wrong.

Di Xin wanted to make these people more controllable and easier to manage.

This goal is achieved through various means, including hierarchical differentiation, military suppression, and brainwashing.

"But... how is this any different from the Way of Heaven...?"

Miao Shisan looked somewhat bewildered.

Her eyes were filled with doubt, as if she were searching for an answer.

Qin Wen remained silent.

Because he understands that this is the right thing to do.

This is exactly what a ruler of a world should do.

As someone in control, anyone would resort to drastic measures if something is outside their control.

Regardless of who controls the world.

Where there is yin, there must be yang.

The only thing we can do is to be fair!

Perhaps the Heavenly Dao of the past was also a person like Emperor Xin.

However, after he successfully became the new Heavenly Dao.

As time went by, he began to change.

The passion of that time has faded.

He chose to fall into depravity amidst repeated frustrations and temptations.

It has become unjust!

Good and evil are no longer clearly distinguished.

Those who agree with him are right.

Those who disagree with him are always wrong!

Suddenly, Qin Wen had another idea.

"Perhaps, the loneliness of the Heavenly Dao at its highest peak makes it yearn to be overthrown and to find an opponent."

“Or…”

"Becoming the new ruler gradually led him astray... He didn't want to be replaced, so he tried to win people over, sow discord, and suppress them!"

Thinking of this, Qin Wen couldn't help but gasp.

If that's really the case, when will it end?

That endless cycle, like a vortex without end, repeatedly pulls the world into it.

Change after change, like surging waves, relentlessly impacts the world.

Just like a line from Lolo's Adventures:

Could the end of one war be the beginning of another?

All of this is just like the dynastic changes in Chinese history.

The fall of one dynasty is often accompanied by the rise of another, in a cyclical pattern.

It seems... this is the essence of the world.

"Let's go back first."

Qin Wen's voice carried a hint of weariness; he was somewhat unwilling to think about these troublesome matters anymore.

Or perhaps he has already found a solution.

Just like Emperor Xin in the world of Investiture of the Gods.

With Wen Zhong watching over him, he dared not do anything too outrageous.

Another example is the Tang Dynasty, with Li Shimin and Wei Zheng.

A man like Li Shimin truly achieved the ultimate.

Even when he wanted to do something crazy, it wouldn't overshadow his achievements.

But it was precisely because Wei Zheng was there that some of his behavior was restrained.

......

Such examples can be found in many places.

Therefore, Qin Wen felt that he might be able to become that kind of person.

From the words of Di Xin and Chong Baimian, it is not difficult to see that Qin Wen was the most crucial figure in a certain process.

With him around, some things might be able to succeed.

However, he had no intention of becoming the Heavenly Way.

I don't want to become the new Heavenly Dao by helping others, which would be the beginning of another tragedy.

Therefore, he felt that he could become someone like Wen Zhong or Wei Zheng.

As the brakes on the new Heavenly Path!

If the new Heavenly Path tries to run a red light, I'll stop him!

Or rather, in the end, it prevented Di Xin from completely becoming the Way of Heaven.

Instead, let him and others work together to establish humanity and balance the way of Heaven!

Although it may be difficult, and the journey may be long.

But this is one of the better solutions Qin Wen could think of.

Regardless of the final outcome, whether it's success or failure!

As long as you become strong enough, your world will become more and more complete...

Everything can be salvaged!

therefore.

"I need to become stronger!"

Qin Wen's gaze grew increasingly resolute.
