Aikawa knelt on the ground. He looked up at Aizen, who had a faint smile on his face, and said anxiously.
"Master Aizen, according to the latest news from the frontline, Vermillion Bird has reached an agreement with this country, and Lady Immortal Water and the Emperor of the Ancestral Country have agreed to ally with him."
"If that's the case, I'm afraid we won't be able to face their combined forces!"
"When the time comes, if you don't take action, we won't be able to fight back against the forces that are far stronger than us!"
Aizen glanced at him with a faint smile on his face. He said softly, "Don't worry, I won't let you go."
"Aikawa, I've told you from the beginning, I won't participate in your war."
Hearing Aizen's words, Aikawa's face turned pale. His kneeling posture became even more bent as he quickly said.
"Master …"
Aizen was unmoved. He still looked at him with a smile on his face as he said softly.
"This war belongs to you. You're the one who started this war, so you should be the one to think of a way to solve this problem."
Aikawa was stunned. He quickly raised his head and explained.
"But Master, I'm just a lowly villager, how can I …"
Before he could finish his words, Aizen waved his hand to stop him. Aizen looked at him with a smile on his face and said with a deep look in his eyes.
"Aikawa … From the moment you picked up the sickle, you're no longer a farmer …"
Speaking until here, his voice was filled with bewitching magnetism.
"Don't think of yourself as so lowly. You're now the leader of tens of thousands of rebels in the Ancestral Country."
"You need to know that I have no interest in the so-called rebels. Everything that you've obtained under your leadership will belong to you … Even if it's the throne of the Ancestral Country …"
Hearing Aizen's words, Aikawa's breathing became heavier. He couldn't believe it, but he was also convinced.
Aikawa knew that Aizen -sama was not lying to him because Aizen -sama was indeed different from them.
To Aizen -sama, the title of the ruler of that country was not worth mentioning. However, to Aizen who was born as a farmer, this was an unimaginable piece of good news.
Xiang Chuan knelt heavily on the ground. His body was trembling slightly because of the excitement.
Aizen glanced at Aikawa, who was kneeling on the ground. His lips curled up, and his eyes flashed with a sharp light.
"I have seen the son of heaven of the Ancestral Kingdom before. He is a benevolent monarch. I think that if you can contact him, the so-called alliance will naturally be broken."
Hearing Aizen's words, Aikawa raised his head with a joyful smile on his face. He quickly kowtowed heavily on the ground, bowed and retreated.
"Thank you, Sir Aizen, I understand!"
After saying that, he respectfully left the hall.
Aizen smiled as he watched him leave. His eyes flashed with joy.
Beside him, the White Snake imitated Aizen's posture. It slightly straightened its body and narrowed its amber snake eyes as it looked at Xiang Chuan who was walking out.
Aizen couldn't help but smile as he glanced at it.
"Let's see what kind of power the desire can release after being catalyzed."
Hearing his words, the White Snake quietly turned its head to look at Aizen. It was like an ignorant child listening to an adult's lecture.
At this time, the candlelight on the table in front of Aizen flickered slightly, and the light flickered.
The White Snake, who was beside Aizen, quickly narrowed its snake eyes and turned its head to look at the entrance of the side hall.
As if it felt something, the White Snake quickly bent its body. It was no longer as valiant as before and immediately hid in the corner of the table with its tail between its legs.
Seeing this, Aizen couldn't help but smile. He slowly looked over from the corner of his eyes.
He didn't know when, but Huiye had already appeared there. Her white hands were clasped in front of her as she calmly looked at him.
"You seem to be in a better mood today. Did something happen, Huiye?"
Aizen glanced at her and asked with a smile.
Hearing his words, Huiye slowly walked towards him. Her clear eyes were fixed on his face. She only spoke softly when she was in front of him.
"Before this, I always thought that we were interfering with their lives … or even … destroying their peaceful lives."
"But today, Little Li's words made me understand that we are giving them a chance. A chance to change their fate …"
Aizen was stunned. He looked at Huiye who had a serious expression on her face. He couldn't help but smile and said softly.
"So you've always been concerned about this …"
"I've told you from the start. This is just a game. As of now, this game hasn't ended. Its effects haven't been revealed yet. Let's continue watching."
Hearing his words, Huiye was clearly stunned. She seemed to have thought of something. She looked at Aizen unhappily and said seriously.
"How can Aizen -san see other people's lives as a game? If this is just a game, then what about the countless villagers who died because of the war?"
"If that's what Aizen -san thinks, then please forgive me for not being able to accept it!"
Huiye stood in front of Aizen. Her beautiful face was tense and her lips were pursed. Her clear eyes stared at Aizen seriously. It was as if she would be angry if Aizen didn't give her a satisfactory answer.
Aizen wasn't surprised by Huiye's reaction. He still maintained a calm smile on his face. He glanced at her and said softly.
"Huiye, you are different from them."
Aizen's words stunned Huiye. For a moment, she didn't know what he was talking about.
However, after a moment, she couldn't maintain her calm expression anymore. Her white face instantly flushed red. She was no longer as aggressive as before. She didn't even dare to look straight into Aizen's eyes like before.
Aizen continued to speak calmly.
"You have to understand that the so-called civilization in this land is just an existence that I can destroy with a wave of my hand."
"Why do you think I would waste my time on this bunch of meaningless ants?"
Hearing Aizen's words, Huiye's expression froze again. She clearly didn't like Aizen's words. However, she didn't say anything and only listened quietly.
Aizen said calmly.
"They are more like experimental subjects. I need them to verify the existence of the world without war that we both hope for."
Huiye was stunned. She didn't expect Aizen to answer her question in such a way.
She was stunned for a moment before she questioned.
"How can I let you verify this kind of thing …!?"
Aizen squinted his eyes and said softly.
"Nothing is impossible …"
"Humans are nothing more than animals with higher intelligence …"
"Animals will fight for food, territory, and mating rights. Humans are the same … It's just that humans have more complex desires …"
"I want to see, under the constraints of rationality, if humans with higher intelligence can restrain their desires and maintain their ideal peaceful life."
Hearing Aizen's words, Huiye somewhat understood what he meant and refuted.
"If life is peaceful, no one would like to live a life of constant war!"
The corners of Aizen's mouth rose slightly. He looked at her with his deep eyes and said softly, "Don't worry.
"Not necessarily …"
Bright Night, when desire is released from the heart … the power it displays will break through all cages and barriers …
The ideal world that you speak of …
Perhaps it has been completely denied from the moment people like me exist …
