"Ashamed!
Ashamed! "The Great Sun Sword Immortal pushed the door open and walked into Guhan's room.
Actually, he had already arrived long ago, but had been hiding outside the door to eavesdrop on Guhan and Liunian Ling's conversation. But he had not expected that Guhan had already discovered him.
"There's no need to speak of shame. Please answer my question, Great Sun Sword Immortal. What do you think of this matter?
Should I respond to the pleas of those people outside? "Guhan asked with narrowed eyes.
"This …" The Great Sun Sword Immortal was in a difficult position. He really did not know how to answer this question.
According to the Great Sun Sword Immortal's heart, he naturally hoped that Guhan could sacrifice himself for the greater good, and save the lives of tens of millions of people.
But when these words were on the tip of his tongue, the Great Sun Sword Immortal could not bring himself to say them. Because he knew clearly that this was a moral blackmail.
Moreover, Guhan had no moral responsibility. He did not need to sacrifice himself for these humans. Even if it was tens of millions of lives, he could only ask Guhan from a moral point of view.
"Ai, I only hope that His Majesty the Sea Sovereign can be righteous and make the right decision for humanity!" The Great Sun Sword Immortal was too ashamed to say it directly, and could only say it in a roundabout way.
"Righteous?"
Guhan said this word playfully. He looked meaningfully at the people kneeling outside. "Are these people righteous as well?"
"This …" The Great Sun Sword Immortal hesitated for a moment, then said through gritted teeth, "Righteousness is the righteousness of the general situation. The general situation of the world is here, and that is righteousness!"
"In that case, the righteousness of the majority is righteousness, and the righteousness of the minority is not righteousness!"
A look of disgust flashed across Guhan's face. "I heard that before the Great Calamity, the entire world was a so-called democratic country. All the major and minor matters of the country were decided by democratic voting."
"Then if one day, 99% of the people of the country voted for the remaining 1% who have not committed any crimes to die, is that still righteousness?
Does the government also want to kill those people? "Guhan did not give the Great Sun Sword Immortal any time to think, and asked without pause.
"I … I …" The Great Sun Sword Immortal was forced into a corner by Guhan's question. Yes, if 99% of humanity voted for the remaining 1% to die, then did the 1% really deserve to die?
If this continued, and 99.99999% of the world's people wanted the 0.000001% of Guhan to die, then should Guhan die?
The Great Sun Sword Immortal felt that he was completely unable to answer this question. His logic was about to be completely messed up.
"Of course, that is righteousness!"
The Great Sun Sword Immortal could not answer, but someone walked out and answered for him. This person was none other than Chu Xuan.
"I wonder what Mr. Xuan's opinion is?" Guhan asked with a frown.
"Guhan, do you know what the history of Yanhuang was like during the Middle Ages before the Great Calamity?" Xuan asked.
"It was just a feudal society with a change of dynasties!"
Although most of the history of the Middle Ages had withered, Guhan still knew the general framework.
"That's right!
Xia, Shang, Zhou, Spring and Autumn, Warring States, Qin, Han, Jin, Northern and Southern Dynasties, Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties, Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing, as well as the Republic of China and the Celestial Empire. In thousands of years of history, our Yanhuang lived like this. "Xuan sighed.
"The affairs of the world must be separated after a long time, and united after a long time!
This cycle has continued for thousands of years. This is the righteousness of the world, and also the fate of the world.
"The people suffer when they prosper, and suffer when they perish. Every change of dynasty meant millions, or even tens of millions of people died in the endless flames of war.
The worst time was when all the Han people in the north died. Thirty million lives were turned into specters, and 70% of Hua Xia's population was destroyed.
"I want to ask you, Guhan. Did all those people who died commit crimes that deserved the death penalty?
Did they deserve to die in the chaos of war?
Weren't they all innocent and pitiful people? "
"There was no need for 99% to 1% voting. 30% of humanity could kill 70% of humanity in the name of righteousness.
What's funny is that later generations still sang praises for this period of history. In their textbooks, it was written like this:
The Hu who gained power in the north were gradually assimilated into the Han culture, and the barriers between the Hu and Han gradually melted.
This period was the time when all the races of Hua Xia merged. As the dominant culture in the central plains, the Han also absorbed the essence of the other races, and injected cultural genes into the prosperity of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
"Look, it's written so well. The lives of thirty million people in exchange for the great integration of the races and the prosperity of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. This is the righteousness of the world!
"That's why Guhan, as long as the righteousness is there, not just you, even tens of millions of people have to give up their lives!"
Xuan finally finished his sentence. But whether it was Guhan, the Great Sun Sword Immortal, Liunian Ling, or the other swordmaidens, everyone was confused.
Everyone was confused by Xuan's words. They couldn't understand what he was trying to say.
It sounded like Xuan was telling Guhan that for the righteousness of the world, tens of millions of lives could be sacrificed.
Thus, it was only natural that he, Gu Han, would sacrifice his insignificant life for them.
But after thinking about it carefully, it didn't feel like that at all. Xuan was obviously implying something, but he couldn't understand what Xuan was trying to say.
"Thank you, Lord Xuan!
I understand! "
Guhan thought for a long time. The muscles on his face suddenly relaxed, and he showed a faint smile. Guhan obviously understood what Xuan was trying to say.
"Do it if you understand!
Do what you should do! "Xuan said.
"Okay!"
Guhan nodded. All the swordmaidens around him turned into light and flew into the scabbard at Guhan's waist. The atmosphere in the room froze.
Everyone knew that Guhan had made up his mind. That was why he recalled all his swordmaidens.
"Get ready!"
The Great Sun Sword Immortal secretly made a gesture with his hand behind his back. The few people behind him immediately took out their personal terminals and whispered a few words. The Great Sun Sword Immortal himself stared fixedly at Gu Han, not letting him off the hook even if he made a move.
"Haha!"
Gu Han smiled. With a speed that no one could see, he drew out his Extinguish Immortal Sword and lightly brushed it against the wall in front of him. The entire wall was cut into pieces in an instant. A fierce ray of sunlight shone through the open wall and into the room.
At the same time, the people kneeling outside also noticed the commotion in the hotel. They saw an entire wall disappear, revealing many people standing inside.
"Oh!
Isn't that Her Majesty Poseidon! "
A citizen with good eyesight recognized Gu Han standing in the room at a glance and said excitedly.
"That's right!
It's Her Majesty Poseidon!
It really is Her Majesty Poseidon! "
The surrounding people followed closely behind. After confirming that Guhan was in the room, the entire scene became chaotic. Countless people gathered towards the hotel, blocking the path below. It was so tight that even a mouse couldn't find a place to step.
"Her Majesty Poseidon!
Save our loved ones! "
"Her Majesty Poseidon!
I beg you!
My three grandsons aren't of age yet!
I beg you!
Save them! "The citizens began to cry out loudly, tears streaming down their faces.
Tens of millions of people kneeling and begging. Even someone with a heart made of stone would be moved by this scene.
However, Guhan in the room didn't respond. For a few minutes, he didn't say a word. He just looked at everyone quietly.
This made everyone's heart feel anxious. They didn't know what decision Guhan would make. For a moment, the entire Yan Jing City was filled with anxiety.
"Everyone, stop talking!
Her Majesty Poseidon is willing to come out to see us, it must mean that she has agreed to everyone's request. Everyone, don't worry! "
Someone shouted loudly. He was amazing. Before Guhan could speak, he had already made a decision for Guhan.
"Yes!
Everyone, quickly kowtow!
Quickly kowtow and thank Her Majesty Poseidon! "
There were some smart people among them. They immediately understood the deeper meaning of this and began to make a ruckus around them.
The crowd followed the crowd. When they heard that Guhan was willing to save them, they didn't care so much and started kowtowing to Guhan. Soon, everyone in Yan Jing City was kowtowing to Guhan. Some people's foreheads were even swollen!
At this time, even an idiot could see that these people wanted to create a predetermined fact, and then use it to force Guhan … Look, these tens of millions of people are kowtowing to you at the same time, and you still have the face to refuse everyone's request?
This was like saying: We all say that resettling refugees is a good thing. Huaxia, you should hurry up and open your country's doors to resettle the refugees. Otherwise, how can you live up to the universal values … Well, although this analogy was a little off, it basically meant the same thing!
"What a powerful method!"
Seeing this scene, Xuan couldn't help but mutter to himself. The Great Sun Sword Immortal behind him blushed. Obviously, this method was arranged by him.
After the Great Sun Sword Immortal blushed, he turned his gaze to Guhan. He really wanted to know what choice Guhan would make under the pleas of these tens of millions of people.
"Everyone!
I know all your requests! "Finally, Guhan stepped out of the room and walked straight in the air.
At this moment, everyone raised their heads and stared at Gu Han in the sky, wanting to hear the words that they were waiting for from his mouth.
"I admit, you are indeed very pitiful. Your family is your backbone, and now you have become a group of dogs with broken backs!"
Guhan's voice was extremely loud. With the transmission of sword qi, not to mention those near the hotel, even those tens of kilometers away could hear him clearly.
