Chapter 865: Chapter 110: Yesterday’s Cause, Today’s Effect
“That hero is not a major figure at all. Though he has a bit of a foundation in martial arts, his years of accumulation are insufficient, not reaching the pinnacle. Speaking of which, that period in history was indeed too fast. From the so-called ‘The Only Defeat’ to the fall of our information source, to the Fourth Martial God, it was only a few decades.”
“Decades of ti, in fact, is long enough for history. World War I and World War II combined span just thirty years. But for an individual, to hone a mory to perfection, thirty years isn’t long enough. The confidence and determination that Xiang Shan possessed were forged through more than seventy years of battles. This poor fellow had talent, but he didn’t have the confidence to refine it—he could truly grasp only the fervor.”
The Six Dragons’ Holy Lord did not stop, but continued recounting that story: “And all his interactions with Xiang Shan were rely as a newcor to chivalrous power, having t Xiang Shan a few tis. Xiang Shan didn’t even rember his na. Naturally, he wouldn’t hear the candid exchanges between Xiang Shan and close friends. What he could see was only what Xiang Shan revealed to the public.”
“And this image, essentially—was my starting point.”
“‘Xiang Shan’ is soone who would ignore the sovereignty of other countries for personal friendship. ‘Xiang Shan’ is a character who embraces swift revenge. ‘Xiang Shan’ is a character who would beco angry.”
“And at the mont of my birth, I felt disappointnt and despair. I wasn’t so resolute in believing ‘reason is supre.’ My desire to make the world better is ultimately because I hope the people I love live better.”
The Six Dragons’ Holy Lord said: “I also lack the strength to directly raise a counter-flag against this world. I can only recuperate and gather strength in secret, preferably within the opponent’s system.”
Xiang Shan finally stiffened.
Such familiar thoughts.
Such familiar words.
Isn’t this…
“Isn’t this ‘my’ idea from the thirties? Why must I take to the streets and openly strive for power? In the system of that monster, beco the greatest monster, devour the sky and the earth.” The Six Dragons’ Holy Lord remarked.
“Moreover, moreover. Since having beco the heart and brain of the monster, why think of killing the monster—why think of suicide? If Xiang Shan at the ti had held everything firmly in his hands, if he had made no compromises in this regard… even if he had acted first, secretly controlling those ambitious people, secretly controlling all suspected individuals, would all of this not have happened?”
Despite lacking the ability to sense temperature, Xiang Shan felt as if a bucket of liquid nitrogen had been poured over him.
This person indeed is himself. He is so strange existence. At his birth, he possessed the mindset of Xiang Shan in his twenties, and made similar choices to young Xiang Shan.
After “Stealing the Country,” Xiang Shan was different from his youth in that he dared to directly declare war on entities like the Superman Enterprise and the Usurper of the State, seizing everything by the most violent ans.
Such matters seed perfectly natural to Xiang Shan at that ti.
But this spirit ca from young Xiang Shan’s successive success in establishing the Superman Enterprise.
Yet others couldn’t understand the change in mindset Xiang Shan himself experienced.
Many of Xiang Shan’s images were self-created.
Including that perpetual youthful mindset, always creating new trendy things…
Of course, it also includes the matter with Sheluke Midom.
All those portrayals, whether real or necessary in reality, form “Xiang Shan in the eyes of others”—a figure that aligns with more people’s instincts and garners more affection.
Of course, he also possesses the qualities terd “human nature.”
Even chimpanzees among the anthropoid animals will distinguish kinship and nobility, will wage tribal wars, and there exists the phenonon of slaughter.
“Compared to , isn’t it you who is more abnormal?” The Six Dragons’ Holy Lord questioned again, “I just often feel that your ‘Xiang Shan’ is a character difficult to empathize with. Why do you pursue a better world?”
Xiang Shan felt his arm being forcibly pulled backward. His reactor accelerated its operation, his limbs emitted the sound of strain, yet he didn’t reply.
“Xiang Shan, this person, is just too focused on the stuff taught in elentary school textbooks. Things like ‘helping others is a noble virtue,’ ‘All for one and one for all,’ ‘Labor is the most glorious,’ his brain genuinely learned these things. Can’t get out.” The Six Dragons’ Holy Lord strangled Xiang Shan while lanting: “He thinks that the world depicted only in elentary school textbooks is splendid. The subsequent related knowledge he acquired was all to approach that world. His every action aims to realize that world—but the adult world is too complex, that stone head thinks such a complex world is wrong. The world is wrong; the textbook is right.”
“It’s just those things… Everyone knows they’re good, but everyone knows they’re unrealistic. So, Xiang Shan, seen by the public, although speaking such words, does he himself believe them?”
The Six Dragons’ Holy Lord questioned: “Is your self-created image this naive stubbornness?”
––Of course not…
Xiang Shan’s instincts had already given the answer.
Such a naïve character couldn’t be a qualified entrepreneur, nor could he get money from investors. The governnt wouldn’t genuinely delegate certain powers to such a person either.
“You can treat as a parallel you or as a ‘painted skin’ made by Xiang Shan himself—over a hundred years ago, when the ‘painted skin’ ca to life, it beca now.”
“Of course, you can also believe the story from ‘Director Sun’—if such beliefs allow you to continue the ‘I am great’ fantasy.”
Xiang Shan didn’t reply but looked towards Kanhara Shinhara. Kanhara Shinhara imdiately dodged, but what followed wasn’t an inner strength attack like the technique of witnessing but a question.
“Kotoba, deep down inside, do you feel that, back in Sheluke Midom, it was those who ‘killed that group’ who betrayed your father, or those who ‘didn’t avenge him’ who betrayed him?”
Kanhara Shinhara didn’t answer.
“You now are truly laughable…” Xiang Shan increased the output power of his internal reactor. A slight emotional fluctuation in martial studies manifests as a slow reaction or mistake. And in a locking technique confrontation, a montary disadvantage can easily be prolonged and expanded…
He steadied his mind forcefully, intending to risk his prosthetic body’s damage for one desperate fight.
anwhile, “Shooter” Xiang Shan also said to Squid: “I’ve transmitted all I can to you. Now scatter; ti is running out…”
He felt that the ti had co.
But just then, ultrasonic waves suddenly assailed from different directions, as if a series of sonar radars swiftly scanned!
