"Actually, do you know?"
The Theater God looked at the silent Su Wen and said, "There are some Heavenly Mandate Bearer who know my deeds, and they have always thought I am very cruel."
Su Wen frowned slightly. Cruel?
How could the Theater God singer be so cruel?
The greatest respect you can show to your enemy is to use every means to eliminate all their chances of survival.
"There are many people like this."
The Theater God spoke up, "Take the matter of the Mystic Beast Realm, for example. If it were to be exposed, they would see me as a ruthless butcher."
"They forcefully suppressed the Mystic Beast Realm, abducted Shapeshifting Skye, and even took away all the treasures and economic reserves of the Mystic Beast Realm."
"In their eyes, I'm probably a disgusting robber!"
Even if they know that the Mystic Beast Realm will become an enemy of Huaxia in the future, and that one day they will send troops to attack Huaxia.
"But they'll still say, 'The other side hasn't made a move, so how can we?'"
"Even worse, some might say, 'Don't you think about it? Why didn't they attack other countries? Why did they come to attack Huaxia? Isn't it because of our improper actions?'"
At this point, the Theater God paused, then continued calmly, "By the way, there are also some people who know some things about me."
"So they'll say I did this to take revenge on the creatures of the Arrow Realm, and to vent my own lust."
"I won't go into detail about some of the excessive things you said, such as 'I know the pain of losing a family, yet I still turn into a demon to cause other people's families to be destroyed.'"
"There are just too many, so many that you feel helpless."
"I had wondered before, how come I'm protecting such a bunch of things when I'm fighting enemies on the front lines of the Arrow Realm and quelling the Arrow Realm in various regions of Huaxia?"
"Later I figured it out. Since I'm not satisfied with some aspects of the Heavenly Mandate Bearer, I'll change them!"
"Those who wish to use love to influence the beings of the Arrow Realm, I will send them to various Arrow Realm, so that they may use what they have learned to influence those Arrow Realm."
"If someone who speaks like a saint is truly saintly and holds themselves to such high standards, then I have nothing to say. Although it's a bit annoying, it's still within acceptable limits. Certain positions in China do indeed need people like that."
"But those who only want others to act as saints, and even those who use public opinion to attack my deceased family members, I have also used some methods to make them empathize with me."
"After I had almost completely eliminated the chaos in the realm of the Heavenly Mandate Bearer, I handed over many matters concerning the realm of the Heavenly Mandate Bearer to the Star God."
"It seems that Star God handled it very well."
"Perhaps I'm really not suited to do this kind of thing!"
Su Wen stared at the Theater God, speechless for a long time.
Imagine the era in which the Theater God grew up: the Heavenly Mandate Bearer had just awakened, the times were chaotic, and all sorts of dark things were happening one after another.
In an era when the chaos had largely subsided, and in Huaxia shrouded by the Star Grand Array, even after Mo Xiao Su awakened, the Yin-Yang sorcerers still sought to enslave her. How much more so in the era of the Theater God?
As God-Position Heavenly Mandate Bearer, before one has fully matured, one could easily become enslaved.
And... families were destroyed and people died...
Even though he lost his own family and still chose to protect Huaxia, the Theater God was still attacked and criticized by some people who said he was cruel, bloodthirsty, disregarded the overall situation, and disrespected the creatures of the Arrow Realm.
This is infuriating, it makes my head explode.
"God of Wealth, I'm telling you all this simply to tell you the truth."
After a moment of silence, the Theater God spoke, "External matters are complex. Your ability to resurrect others must not be revealed until the day of victory arrives, unless absolutely necessary!"
"If you can keep it a secret, then don't let anyone know."
"If people find out, they'll definitely say that even you couldn't bear the cost of resurrecting someone."
"Otherwise, you'll see. No matter how high your position or how outstanding your combat power, the overwhelming wave of public opinion will inevitably affect you."
As he spoke, the Theater God looked up and slowly said, "I know you young people are straightforward and impulsive. Sometimes you are very calm, but you can also be very irritable."
"In this situation, if your strength allows, you should kill!"
"To carve out a bright and clear world!"
"Catch the mastermind behind this, and kill them until no one dares to say such a thing again!"
"But doing this is inappropriate."
Su Wen took a deep breath and asked directly, "Master of Theater God, perhaps it's not suitable, but this method is indeed the simplest and most direct one. Besides, how will you know if it's suitable if you don't try it?"
Is it being manipulated by public opinion?
This might work for others, but it's completely useless to him!
Because during his journey through time and space, he had already discerned the true identities and basic circumstances of these people in the Sub-Space-Time.
It's possible that the moment those in the Main Space-Time had this thought, they already had no future.
Furthermore, does it have to be a straightforward, open killing?
The Arrow Realm uses underhanded tactics, the Demigod use underhanded tactics, and even the hidden forces behind the manipulation of public opinion use such underhanded methods. Why wouldn't he use them?
Or is it that the Star God doesn't know how to use it?
If they don't use it, fine, but once they decide to use it, they won't be given any chance to react!
Is the old master of Theater God getting too old, which makes him a little hesitant to perform the act?
"I know."
The Theater God's expression remained unchanged as he said helplessly, "Because I've done it before."
"Otherwise, why do you think I know so much about this?"
Su Wen: "..."
All right!
It seems he was overthinking it; the old man was still the same old man he knew!
"Killing can solve many problems."
The Theater God said, "But in solving this problem, we might also drag some innocent people into it."
"These people are easily swayed by a few words from those around them, or they think they know the truth and then use their good intentions as a pretext to rush to criticize you."
"I'm asking you, are you going to kill too?"
"Yes, when an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent. And once those people attack you, they are no longer innocent either."
"But their initial intention was simply to uphold the justice they believed in."
"Or rather, it's their own definition of justice."
"In short, the question of good and evil in human nature is a highly complex and contentious issue."
"When you have nothing to do, you can think about it on your own."
"And remember this: when something happens, never let anyone lead you by the nose."
"Even in battle with the enemy, when you think what the enemy is saying makes a lot of sense, you might as well step outside their way of thinking and consider the problem from their perspective."
"For example, Western countries have been constantly talking about our country's democracy issues."
"The moment you start arguing about democracy with the other side, you're destined to lose no matter what!"
"Because democracy is a Western discourse."
"If you try to debate the topic of democracy from within their own discourse, do you think you can win?"
