Guizhong and Morax Built Gu Li Ji Through Civil and Martial Means; Dai Hao Reflected: Was Force No Match for Unity?
The feeling of mutual trust and mutual trust during the days of fighting side by side with her was so similar to the scene before me. "I... I'm a little envious." Xiao Xiao whispered. "Yes," He Caitou nodded naively, "It would be great if our Sun Moon Empire and Xing Luo Tian Dou could sit down and talk like this instead of fighting to the death."
Xu Sanshi stroked his chin and chuckled, "That's different. It takes two bosses with brains and vision like them. If they were two hot-tempered guys, it'd be good if they didn't fight when they met."
Bei Bei gently nudged Tang Ya's shoulder, and Tang Ya's gaze drifted into the distance. "When we rebuilt the Tang Sect, it was the same; everyone worked towards a common goal."
Bei Bei nodded, her tone filled with emotion. "Yes, companions are always the most important force. But what they did was truly integrate two completely different ethnic groups and two different countries into one family. That's so much grander than what we did back then..."
Within the God Realm Committee, several God King also fell into deep thought.
"I see." Lei Xiang suddenly realized, "What we saw before was how Morax used 'military force' to suppress Chaotic World and establish Order. But now, he is showing us how to use 'civilization' to usher in a golden age and create civilization."
"One scholar, one warrior; one tension, one relaxation." A'Dai Mandun's tone was filled with deep admiration. "He's not fighting alone. He knows how to find like-minded people, how to unite different forces. If I had understood this principle back then... perhaps I wouldn't have..." He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant.
The true king is not the strongest individual, but the best core.
Qin Emperor Ye Yinzhu, cradled his guqin, his fingers unconsciously plucking the strings, producing a clear, melodious sound. "The most beautiful music is never a solo, but the harmonious resonance of different melodies," a deep, resonant agreement emanated from Zi, the Emperor from another world, standing beside him. Wasn't his encounter with Ye Yinzhu also a harmonious sound that transcended race?
God of Wine Ji Dong held Lie Yan's hand tightly. He looked at the figures standing side by side in the scene and seemed to see his own shadow and Lie Yan's shadow. "The bond forged for the common purpose of protection is stronger than any divine artifact." Lie Yan smiled slightly, leaned on his shoulder, and was full of agreement.
Rong Nianbing, the God of Emotion, can better feel the powerful and warm emotional torrent conveyed in the picture—trust, hope, and the joy of creating the future together. These positive emotions are the most solid foundation for building a prosperous civilization.
Tang San's gaze was profound. He had once united two great empires to fight against the Spirit Hall, forging an unprecedented alliance. But that alliance was born of immense pressure, fraught with calculation and distrust. The "Gu Li Ji" before him, however, represented a genuine, shared aspiration for the future. This was a higher level of unity. He couldn't help but wonder, if such trust had existed between Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empire, where would the history of the Douluo Continent have led?
The shock in the Dragon God's golden pupils even surpassed that when he saw the Yaksha being enlightened.
"Father God..." the Dragon Prince spoke softly, looking at the Dragon God beside him, "Look..."
The Dragon God remained silent, but his clenched fists betrayed his inner turmoil. His entire life had been one of conquest. He had defeated all the God King, unifying the Divine Realm with absolute power. He had never considered, nor needed to consider, any "equal alliance" with anyone. But now, he saw another possibility—a path to the highest realm that he had never imagined.
Conquest brings rule, while creation brings civilization. He unified the Divine Realm, but under his rule, did the Divine Realm truly become better? Or did it merely become more "quiet"? This thought struck him like a bolt of lightning, shattering his preconceived notions.
In a corner of the mortal realm, Emperor Dai Hao of the Star Luo Empire, a steely soldier, frowned deeply. Throughout his life, he believed in the supremacy of the strong and that force could solve everything. Yet, in the scene, the vitality and dynamism born of unity, the cohesion of the people, seemed more indestructible than an invincible army.
Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire sighed deeply. He recalled the years he had spent dealing with the Spirit Hall. If the human Titled Douluo had been as united as Guizhong and Morax, the Spirit Hall would not have grown so powerful.
Gu Yuena's body was trembling slightly.
Beneath her long silver hair, her purple eyes swirled with complex emotions that were difficult to describe.
Alliance... Partners... Building a Home Together...
These words, like sharp knives, pierced her heart.
Soul Beast and humans.
If, ten thousand years ago, during her and her people's most desperate time, a being like Guizhong or Morax could have appeared among the human Deity.
It's not about judging from a superior position, nor is it about coldly and ruthlessly hunting down criminals.
Instead, they're willing to extend a hand and say, "How about we join forces?"
Let's say, "Let's build a home together, so that neither humans nor Soul Beast will have to wander anymore."
Will the Dragon God War break out again?
Will the Soul Beast Clan ever walk down that same dead end again?
Will she herself endure those ten thousand years of Ice Seal and suffering?
An unanswerable "if" brings the sharpest sting.
She looked at the scene, where Guizhong and Morax stood side by side, watching the people they protected live in peace and prosperity, watching the blooming blue Flower Sea. That land called "Gu Li Ji" was so warm, so dazzling.
It was so dazzling... that it caused her a burning pain.
Da Ming and Er Ming, Niu Tian and Titan, these two soul beast kings who have survived since ancient times, felt their master's sorrow. Their hearts were also filled with bitterness. They knew better than anyone how much the soul beast race had longed to coexist peacefully with humans, but what they received in return was deception and slaughter time and time again. The beauty in the scene was, to them, a dream far too cruel.
"So, this is what Gods... are supposed to be like." Gu Yuena's voice was very soft, almost inaudible, yet it clearly touched the hearts of everyone.
Her voice was filled with endless weariness and sorrow.
Tang Wulin felt his heart clench violently. He could clearly sense the unfathomable sorrow emanating from Gu Yuena. He reached out and gently, tentatively, placed his hand on her shoulder.
Her body stiffened, but she did not move away.
