Chapter 32 Goal 5
Upon hearing Elder Yi say this, Huo Yuhao subconsciously expressed his gratitude.
Meanwhile, Tianmeng spoke up, "What did you call me before, 'big bug'? I'm a million-year-old soul beast! Now that you've finished clapping, are you going to stay in the corner?"
As Tianmeng spoke, she quickly moved her body behind Huo Yuhao and pointed in the direction where Elder Yi had been standing.
Although he could sense that Elder Yi was unfathomable, he really disliked hearing him referred to as a "big bug," so he wanted the other party to go back quickly.
However, Tianmeng's series of actions left Huo Yuhao stunned. The young man subconsciously turned his head to look at Tianmeng behind him, and then looked at Elder Yi in front of him.
Old Yi frowned at this, and then the figure he appeared immediately began to become illusory, before reverting back to the form of a remnant soul.
Faced with this situation, the boy didn't say anything, but Tianmeng immediately stepped out from behind him and said, "You're already weakened? You seem really frail. Well, it's better if you continue sleeping; it'll be quieter there..."
Just as Tianmeng was still teasing this person, Elder Yi, who had reverted to his remnant soul form, said somewhat impatiently, "Enough, you big bug. I only reverted to this form because I used up a lot of power when I first revealed my true form, and I wanted to conserve some of my energy."
"Even though I am very weak now, I can still make you experience what it is like to be worse than dead."
Upon hearing this, Tianmeng immediately shut his mouth, after all, he felt that the guy opposite him seemed to actually be able to do that.
Then Elder Yi asked Huo Yuhao again, saying, "Young friend, I know you see things very clearly, but I'm more curious about your thoughts. Could you tell me about them? It would satisfy my curiosity. Don't worry, I won't reveal anything here."
He was caught off guard by what had just happened, but when asked this question, the young man had no intention of hiding anything.
After all, Huo Yuhao understood that the person in front of him was obviously more powerful than Tianmeng, so even if he didn't say anything, the other party would definitely find out in other ways.
So he said, "I know in my heart that I am not here to eliminate any person or group of people. I have seen good people and bad people, just like Beibei and the others you see. They are not bad people in the absolute sense."
"Therefore, it is unrealistic and unacceptable to unilaterally eliminate a certain region or all people within a certain identity. Moreover, just like eliminating the existence of Gold Soul Coins, it is impossible. There will always be something new to replace the original position."
"Evil deeds must have a price to pay, and revenge is not an extreme act. But make it clear that my goal is to change and eliminate the evils of the system that caused all this and made this whole system work, the way these empires or sects maintain their rule."
"People should be able to live without the current state of affairs. Those problems and difficulties, as well as exploitation and oppression, should not befall people. At the very least, they should understand that these are not things they are born to endure."
"Therefore, given the current situation in Douluo Continent, it is impossible to simply think about joining an empire or a sect, and then using that as a basis to reform and expand into the Douluo Continent."
"As for trying to change things this way, whether I use the knowledge and ideas I learned in the wasteland to innovate some kind of soul guidance technology, or try to adjust and improve the entire system, it will probably have little effect."
"The core purpose of the empire and these sectarian organizations is to maintain their rule and survival, and my ideas are fundamentally in conflict with these."
"After all, the very foundation upon which these empires or sects exist is the reason for the current state of Douluo Continent. Under these circumstances, the idea of seeking improvement is impossible, and the pursuit of rightful benefits is unattainable."
"The rules that exist are all for the purpose of maintaining this rule, so everything you do can only help maintain the existence of this rule, and anything else is not allowed."
"Therefore, we have no choice but to use violence to shatter all of this, but we cannot only destroy with violence, we must also build. This is the direction of my subsequent actions."
"As for becoming an organization similar to the wandering knights, they would operate throughout the entire Douluo Continent, carrying out guerrilla warfare in places like villages and forests."
"Although this method is feasible, relying solely on my current abilities and those of Brother Tianmeng, as well as the resources that these villages can control, in the early stages of development, we must openly liberate some villages from the nobles and sects to serve as our base."
"But once we get to this point, when we carry out what I want to do, and when we directly liberate some villages from the control of the nobles, as long as these things are revealed, even if the empire itself doesn't care about them, it will definitely arouse the opposition of those nobles and sects."
"It's not a hypothetical scenario that they'll directly wage war to wipe us out; it's an inevitable reality. In the eyes of these nobles and sects, our actions are tantamount to taking away the territories and people they control. Given this situation, it's practically impossible for the nobles and sects to stand idly by."
"Furthermore, these imperial nobles and sects have existed for a very long time, some for tens of thousands of years, and are deeply rooted in many places. It is unrealistic to take action directly under the current circumstances."
"At the same time, judging from the situation in these villages that I see now, there are not enough resources and manpower to truly achieve the goal."
"If we reveal ourselves prematurely and directly clash with the imperial nobles and sects, our battle will be secondary; the villages will inevitably be implicated, and in that situation, we will not have enough strength to protect them."
"In this situation, our actions would lose their meaning."
"If we only seize the bandits' living spots in the mountains, although it will reduce the above situation for a certain period of time, without corresponding production areas, then there is a high probability that we will become another kind of bandit. In that case, what I am doing is better off not doing it at all."
"So in this situation, I want to step outside what I'm seeing right now and look at places I've overlooked in the past, places that empires and sects have never even considered."
At this point, Huo Yuhao glanced at Tianmeng beside him. Tianmeng, seeing the young man looking at her, clearly didn't know what he meant, while Elder Yi seemed to be pondering something.
At this moment, the boy continued, "I know clearly that only order can destroy order. This process will inevitably be accompanied by violence and war. After all, this is not something that can be achieved by sitting down and talking. It is something that must be fought for."
"All of this is destined to involve sacrifices, but we cannot take these sacrifices for granted. Even if they are inevitable, we need to choose the option with the least sacrifice in order to change everything before us."
"So, Brother Tianmeng, tell me now, what do you want to do when my soul power reaches level twenty?"
At this moment, Tianmeng felt very confused and helpless as she looked at Huo Yuhao, who was staring at her like that, and who inexplicably turned the question to her in his ear.
Therefore, he instinctively used a cheerful tone to say perfunctorily, "Xiao Yuhao, why are you saying this? This has nothing to do with the question we just discussed. Besides, you haven't even reached level 20 in soul power yet."
"You should focus on your training now. You want revenge, but you can't achieve it without strength, so you should just focus on your training."
"And with my help as a million-year-old soul beast, you can definitely become an unparalleled powerhouse, and even becoming a god is not impossible. Elder Yi, don't you agree with me...?"
At this moment, Tianmeng looked at Elder Yi beside her, hoping that the other party would provide cover for her.
Upon hearing Tianmeng's last words, Elder Yi simply watched silently as the giant worm found himself in a somewhat awkward position, without uttering a single word.
