323: I want to see this kind of world
Later, Jiang Shenyi no longer charged on the front lines.
He was reviled and insulted by countless people!
They said that with great power comes great responsibility.
He had the ability but didn't fulfill his responsibility; he was simply a disgrace to the Human Race!
But he was already numb!
In those years, he couldn't see the light; he felt the world was an endless darkness.
He didn't want to fight anymore.
He was tired!
Even if he died tragically on the battlefield one day, he didn't care.
Xi He felt endless anger.
Those people didn't even know what Jiang Shenyi had gone through, so how could they insult him?
Moreover, he had already accumulated countless military merits; who had the right to humiliate him!?
Later, Xi He understood something.
People didn't care.
People didn't care whether Jiang Shenyi lived or died.
They didn't care what turbulent waves surged within his heart.
People only wanted to survive, but they didn't want to pay what others couldn't pay.
They placed their hopes on Jiang Shenyi, pushing him forward.
So what they liked wasn't Jiang Shenyi at all; they only liked the safe sun of the next day!
Later, Jiang Shenyi also understood.
He constantly risked his life for the people behind him, shedding his blood for the Human Race, shouting the slogan of 'Human Race must win!'
His military merits were numerous, his achievements immense!
But no one thanked him!
They only cared about themselves!
So he quit!
Such a Human Race was not worth fighting for!!
Until one day, an elderly Human Race found him.
That elderly Human Race was named Zhou Chongli.
He also had another familiar title: Pastor.
When the Pastor came to find Jiang Shenyi, he wasn't alone; there was also a mutated alien with ram horns on his head and dark golden scales on his body.
His name was Lawrence, and he wielded the Time Law; later generations called him the Pontiff.
Jiang Shenyi was shocked.
Why would Zhou Chongli, this Human Race powerhouse with dual talents, stand with an alien?
At this moment.
"Little Jiang, join us," Zhou Chongli said, looking at the weary Jiang Shenyi.
"We want to create a peaceful world."
"Let's call it the Taiping Divine Sect for now."
The three sat together, chatting about the Taiping Divine Sect.
At this point, Jiang Shenyi understood that Zhou Chongli was also tired of war; he was immensely fatigued.
If they kept fighting like this, this world would have no future!
The Pontiff felt the same; as one of the most terrifying powerhouses among the aliens at the time, he had long stopped wanting to fight.
In this casual chat, the most frequently appearing word was peace.
Light gradually appeared in Jiang Shenyi's dim eyes.
At this moment, Xi He could clearly feel that this great general was about to join the Taiping Divine Sect!
But what happened later seemed to be different; the great general still chose to stand with the Human Race.
What happened in between?
Xi He continued to watch.
"We have made all plans and preparations; now we only lack the assistance of more powerhouses," the Pastor said seriously.
But suddenly, the great general's heart stirred, and he raised an eyebrow, saying, "This world, after a long division, must unite, and after a long union, must divide. Even if all your plans succeed, they can only bring temporary peace, right?"
The Pastor said in a deep voice, "Man proposes, God disposes."
"Regardless of whether we can create the ideal world, we must at least try, right?"
Finally, the two left, giving the great general three days to make his choice.
On that day, he walked to the border again.
But before people could get excited for long, the great general did something incredible.
He once again encountered the alien cannon fodder tactic.
But this time, he didn't swing his blade; instead, he rescued all the alien children and took them to an internment camp.
The moment this happened, he was condemned by the entire Federation.
But he no longer cared!
He took a handsome vampire youth to a small hill.
The two sat side by side, feeling the howling mountain wind; the only pity was that it was a barren hill, with hardly any green vegetation visible, turned into desolation by the ravages of war.
The vampire youth was very reserved, but he wasn't afraid, because he felt that this powerful Human Race beside him was different from others.
But he didn't know what to say, so he lowered his head and remained silent.
Suddenly, Jiang Shenyi spoke, asking, "Do you hate the Human Race?"
The vampire youth quickly shook his head, his voice tender but firm!
"No hate."
"I hate those bad aliens who pushed us to the front lines!"
Jiang Shenyi didn't respond, and there was another period of silence.
After a while, he asked again, "Then do you like peace?"
"Yes!" The vampire youth nodded without hesitation.
Suddenly, Jiang Shenyi said self-deprecatingly, "But peace isn't a good thing for you."
"The alien population is expanding too quickly; without enough fertile land and resources, your lives will still be a series of tragedies."
The vampire youth nodded blankly.
Suddenly, he pointed to a resilient little blade of grass under a large rock and said, "But at least, peace can bring... life."
"Life...?" Jiang Shenyi's expression changed slightly.
At this moment, the vampire youth seemed to open up; he lowered his head and said, "I know, I actually know everything."
"Actually, even before we were pushed up, many soldiers on the alien front line told us many things."
"The reason our planet has become what it is now is all because of those hateful people in power."
"They don't care about fertile land; they only care about certain special resources, things that can make them stronger."
"So, whether it's peace or not, we aliens have no right to choose."
The vampire youth lowered his head, his voice weak and hoarse: "Because we are weak."
"What we long for is not actually peace."
"But a world where every life has the right to choose its own path."
"But if those powerful bad people among the aliens don't die, such a world cannot exist..."
Suddenly, a gentle mountain breeze blew, and Jiang Shenyi suddenly felt warm all over; he looked up, and it turned out to be the golden sunset of the evening falling on his shoulders.
At this moment, the tender green blade of grass hiding under the large rock seemed to straighten up a bit under the sunlight, swaying left and right with the wind.
It was like a lazy girl who had just enjoyed a pleasant afternoon nap, stretching idly, yawning, with a brilliant smile on her face.
Jiang Shenyi quietly gazed at the setting sun; after many years, a smile once again appeared on his face, and his eyes shone brightly.
He whispered softly.
"A world where every life has the right to choose its own path..."
"I want to see such a world."
