“You shouldn’t be as simple as just wanting to tell me the history of the Eightfold World, it doesn’t fit your status as the King of All Weapons, and you can’t be so long-winded.”
“By showing me this, you are just telling me all your memories. Now, the Eightfold World is facing such a predicament, so what is facing on the surface is actually the same predicament I am facing today.”
“You are trying to ask me how I will break the situation, are you?”
This world was created by his predecessor master Pan Gu, but because of human greed, so much so that this world is about to go into great chaos, or even destruction.
It was his master’s heart and soul, so with this, Pan Gu Axe was asking himself what he would do if he were to become his master.
“My answer is simple: I am not as mighty and extraordinary as the great god Pan Gu, and can reopen a heaven and earth with my own power.”
“However, I will protect the peace of the world as much as I can, I will crush the demons and the three great powers, I will unify this world, become the new king and make this a world of great unity.”
This was the best way Han Qianqian could think of within himself, to learn from those ancestors on the Blue Planet, to make a civilisation the biggest it could be, so that all the peoples would come together in unity, without distinction between you and me.
He wanted to thank Yanxia for that long history, for the truths taught to him in those histories and for the best results that came out of practice.
As soon as Han Qianqian’s words fell, the mountain of food in front of him turned into a bubble, and the whole surrounding area once again turned into a white world.
“Han Qianqian, to stand on the throne of an emperor may seem to be above all others, but before you ascend to the throne, you will have to step on the bones of all others.
“The one who starts a dynasty should be the one who kills and destroys, his brothers, his men, will all become the souls under his sword, and you, Han Qianqian, have always treated your brothers too trustingly and too lovingly, this is your advantage, but also your disadvantage.”
“The advantage is that he can quickly help you collect talents and set up a kingdom, which can be claimed by vassals, but it is not destined to allow you to achieve hegemony and ascend to the throne as an emperor.”
The voice made sense, and Han Qianqian did not refute it.
For indeed, if we look at the history of Yanxia, most of the emperors who started their dynasties killed a lot of meritorious ministers, while very few did not kill meritorious ministers, but they also inevitably released the military power of their subordinates.
He wanted to centralise the king’s power in order to have complete control over the kingdom.
This was Han Qianqian’s shortcoming, and Han Qianqian knew it well.
However, to ask him to kill his own brother for the sake of power, Han Qianqian could not do it.
“Therefore, Han Qianqian, what is suitable for you is to guard the rivers and mountains, or to be on one side and become a hegemon, but never to fight for the world and unify the people.”
“You are the Pan Gu Axe?” Han Qianqian frowned and said softly.
“Yes, so now, can you answer my question positively?”
Han Qianqian knew that it was already obvious that he couldn’t avoid this question.
In theory, he could tell a lie behind his conscience, tell Pan Gu Xiang that he could do it, and after he got Pan Gu Xiang’s approval, he could think of other ways to keep his brother.
But Han Qianqian was not that kind of person, he would not deceive anyone for his own selfish desires.
So his answer could only be to be true to his heart.
Just as Han Qianqian was about to speak, the voice spoke again.
“What I need to remind you is to think clearly before you answer, because, this will be a matter of recognition between you and I. In other words, if your answer does not satisfy me, there will no longer be any connection between us.”
“In other words, not only will there be no future between us, but even, the kind of one-sided cooperation that we used to have, there will be none, and if you still want to use me, you will be devoured by me in return!”
Han Qianqian thought seriously for a few seconds before finally raising his head, “I think I’ve thought this through very clearly.”
“Well then, you can now answer my questions as well, and I’m looking forward to the answers you’ll give me.”
