Laying Chess Piece Dou Three (II)

"Why..."

Huo Yuhao let out a long sigh.

But after sighing, he didn't put on a dejected posture. Instead, the corners of his mouth turned up, and his gaze gradually changed from serious to relaxed and lively. The change in his aura was even more obvious, as if he had broken free of his shackles and was freely pursuing the future.

Turn your head.

He looked at Ye Qingcang.

It also includes Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao.

Including Ice Empress, who always sat on Ye Qingcang's shoulder.

Responding to his supporters in a serious but not overly serious tone. "Thank you everyone, I think I know what to do now... Perhaps some of what I'm saying sounds rebellious, but I have to admit that in the past, I was indeed influenced by the common sense of this world, losing my own color and my sense of self... Whether it's a ruler and his subject, a father and son, or even enemies and friends, it all comes down to two things: strength and self-will... In other words, when I meet the standard of strength, I can do whatever I want, as long as it doesn't go against my conscience. But when I don't meet the standard of strength, self-will is unimportant, because I only have the power to choose, not to fill in data in a multiple-choice question."

"It's like a multiple-choice question."

"If you were capable... to be the exam setter, you could turn this multiple-choice question into a fill-in-the-blank question, writing down whatever answer you want in the blanks... whether it's correct or not is another matter."

"But if you don't have the ability and are just a student answering questions, then you can only choose what you think is correct from a few options and fill in the blank with the letter you think is correct... Similarly, whether it is correct or not is another matter, the score will give the result."

"So, let's put this somewhat appropriate, but not entirely appropriate, example aside and get back to the question we just had."

"Yuhao, what do you want?"

"Is it a high social status?"

"Or is it the power of life and death?"

"Is it an achievement that will be recorded in history?"

"Or is it an endless supply of treasures?"

"Or are there other options I haven't given?"

Ye Qingcang's question was very pointed.

But it was precisely because it was sharp enough that Huo Yuhao remained sufficiently clear-headed.

There's a saying that Ye Qingcang has always strongly agreed with.

Although this statement sounds very impolite, it expresses a fact, an ugly fact: people are all base and despicable!

This has nothing to do with whether a person is willing to change!

It's not about human nature!

What you mean by...

The only lesson humanity learns from history is that humanity doesn't learn from history; everything is either a first time or countless times; I can't control my behavior and emotions; I fear power but don't cherish virtue...

And so on...

To put it bluntly, the reasoning is exactly the same as the sentence above!

What lessons learned from history? To put it bluntly, it's just a lack of memory!

Repeatedly making mistakes that one knows one is wrong.

We've wasted the experience written down by our predecessors.

They'll take a beating, but they won't learn from a lesson.

Regret comes only after everything has happened.

He was trying to save face in this way.

The idea that there's only a first time and countless times is just self-comfort!

It's either zero, or one or countless.

One and countless are of the same type.

The first time and countless times are inherently one.

Because desires are endless.

Once you've tasted the sweetness, you want to try it a second time.

Even if you can control your behavior.

They also couldn't control their thoughts.

What I mean by "I can't control myself" is simply indulging my instincts!

Every Goddess of Life organism possesses two natures.

One is emotion, the other is reason.

Sensibility is a biological instinct.

Rationality is the wisdom of living beings.

When instinct overrides wisdom, such a creature is what is called a lower form of Goddess of Life; when wisdom overrides instinct, such a creature is what is called a higher Goddess of Life of intelligence. Hence the saying, "The closer one gets to the truth, the more ruthless one appears."

Therefore, people who indulge themselves are no different from animals.

They are even less intelligent than some animals.

At least animals with higher intelligence would not eat their own kind.

There are other examples as well.

I won't list them all here.

In short, the best way to truly wake someone up is never to reason with them or have a pleasant conversation, because human nature naturally leads people to think in a lazy direction, subconsciously choosing the path with higher benefits or lower costs. The correct approach is to use reverse psychology to sting them. In this way, whether it's following an emotional change or trying to prove themselves right, they will seriously consider the problem and come up with a solution that meets the limits of their intelligence.

This logic is not directed at anyone else.

Ye Qingcang himself was included.

It's just that he doesn't need others to provoke him.

Because he often reflects on himself.

Reflecting on this behavior itself is a form of self-stimulation.

So it may seem better on the surface, but the essence is actually the same.

Therefore, for Huo Yuhao, this kind of direct, even incisive, questioning about his own dark desires allowed him to rationally analyze himself and find the answer, "A high social status is a byproduct of power, the power of life and death is a derivative of power, achievements recorded in history are the outer packaging of power, and endless treasures and resources are the propaganda for power. In essence, I still crave power, because with sufficient power, I can be unrestrained and seek or attain Great Freedom!"

"But you don't have that much strength right now."

"One must take things one step at a time."

"Eat your food one bite at a time."

Which bowl of rice do you plan to choose?

Ye Qingcang suppressed Huo Yuhao step by step, mainly because he was too familiar with this method. It wasn't that he deliberately guided Huo Yuhao, but rather that the more you study human nature, the more terrifying it becomes.

He's just like pulling a frog out of a well.

He was shown a glimpse of the sky.

Then throw this frog in the well back in.

As for what this frog in the well will do and whether it will succeed, that depends on how well it performs; it has nothing to do with him.

"My teacher briefly mentioned it to me..." Huo Yuhao muttered to himself as he analyzed, "So, regardless of whether this lightning strikes or not, I have to formulate a response plan based on the worst-case scenario. Therefore, Human Race to the God Seal Star can be declined. As for the Demon Race, they are not on the same path as Human Race, but since there is no clear interest or emotional connection, and it's uncertain whether a relationship can be established during potential meetings, I'll temporarily categorize them as second-tier... In the Star Luo Empire, Xu Jiujiu is a prominent figure, but precisely because she is, I cannot completely trust her. As for White Tiger Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger..." Even so, but compared to Xu Jiujiu, who at least showed some sincerity, White Tiger Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger Clan is not worthy of my trust... The Heavenly Soul Empire mainly depends on the Body Sect, and the relationship between the Body Sect and Shrek Academy is really not good, it could even be described as bad before, second tier... The Dou Ling Empire is not considered, since the enmity has already been resolved, there is no possibility of resolving it... The Sun and Sun Moon Empire is not bad, I have seen Sister Nan Nan chatting with that Sister Ju Zi, that Sister Ju Zi is often by the side of Emperor Xu Tianran of the Sun Moon Empire, after contact, there must be someone above her, first tier... There are also the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and other sects and forces..."

"Can't you just give him the answer directly?"

Seeing Huo Yuhao grumbling and feeling bored, Wang Dong'er poked Ye Qingcang in the waist and voiced her thoughts.

I must say, that makes a lot of sense.

but...

"I would prefer him to think for himself."

"Besides, this is just an appetizer compared to the main course later."

"You can imagine it."

"If the Douluo Continent and the Divine Realm of the Dou Three Star System got involved, and you were to become Tang Wutong again, perhaps ten thousand or even tens of thousands of years later... how would you feel?"

"Can you still lift the knife?"

Ye Qingcang nodded meaningfully at Wang Dong'er.

Wang Dong'er, who was subconsciously thinking along these lines, shuddered.
