Chapter 359: Chapter 308: Gleaming Star Level Title ‘Peace Envoy’! (Extra 10,000-word ga chapter)
The noise of children playing nearby sounded particularly grating.
If it had been before, he certainly would have noticed such a jarring sound, but today he stood right beside it without realizing it even once, the young man sowhat stunned in place, as if suddenly enlightened.
These days, he had grown accustod to the noise of children playing near his ears.
It seed like a normal thing.
Sothing that was absolutely impossible before.
The world was starting to change subtly, even managing to deceive him.
“What difference does belief or disbelief make,”
the young man murmured to himself, then looked up again at the long-lost smile on his father’s face—the kind that had never been there, no matter how big a project they had landed.
But now.
Despite having entrusted all his family business to Chen Yi, the smile on his father’s face had grown more frequent.
No longer did he have that somber look with a murderous aura from morning till night.
And he… he even dared to question his father.
He never would have dared to before.
He had just realized this; perhaps his father had beco too affable lately, making him feel less need to tread on eggshells.
Were all these changes brought about by that young man?
Suddenly enlightened, the young man looked again at Chen Yi’s silhouette on the stage in the crowd, his eyes devoid of the previous doubt and confusion, now filled with gratitude instead.
He understood what his father ant.
Belief or disbelief, it wasn’t important.
Whether it’s true or not is also not important.
People needed an excuse, an excuse to unite, to bring peace back to this world. People needed a faith, and faith is never created.
It is needed.
Every faith originates from suffering.
At that mont—
The young man on the stage looked over.
The countless throngs around him raised their right arms toward Chen Yi’s gaze, shouting feverishly and excitedly, “For peace, for peace!”
Seeing this,
the young man was montarily stunned, then shook his head and laughed helplessly, raising his right arm excitedly and shouting, “For peace!”
At this mont, he kind of understood what his father had said.
The people needed to be a bit foolish for the world to be happier.
Being too clever, many things could not move forward.
He once thought these people were foolish, deceived by such naive lies, but now he understood that perhaps most of them were well aware, but they chose to deceive themselves.
It wasn’t Chen Yi deceiving them.
It was them deceiving themselves.
The elderly man beside the young man laughed and raised his arm too, shouting, “For peace.”
He wasn’t afraid of being deceived.
He was just afraid no one would dare to deceive him again.
At least he didn’t dare to step out and deceive others anymore.
He lacked the power and the courage.
…
Day Twenty-Nine.
On a street in a certain city.
A large group of Centaurs with a sticker of a peace dove on their faces, ard with various weapons, enclosed several hundred people in the center.
Among the hundreds, a man leading them with a ferocious expression and eyes full of fear clutched his hands tightly, looking around at the Centaurs surrounding them and shouted with a tremulous and agitated voice, “You’ve all been deceived, there’s no such thing as Judgnt Day, no new world!”
“That man is a swindler!”
“You’ve all been tricked!”
“We’re just NPCs, that man is a player, he’s just completing a mission. Once he’s gone, the world will go back to how it was at the start, you’ve all been duped!”
“You bunch of fools!”
“Don’t believe him, he’s just using you, I am one of you! We’re all family here!”
As his words fell,
Wang Zhongyi in the crowd coldly sneered, loading his rifle smoothly and aiming the muzzle at the bearded man they had surrounded, scoffing, “What a joke!
“Spouting nonsense, still daring to slander the teacher when facing death.”
“Stop resisting, you are the last stubborn force resisting, just by annihilating your faction, the world can finally achieve complete peace, there will be no more slaughter or strife, and schools can be reestablished.”
“I can also pursue a real relationship.”
“A better world is on the horizon, and it’s only delayed by a few seconds because of you people, truly despicable.”
Just as Wang Zhongyi was about to pull the trigger,
the surroundings suddenly beca silent.
He paused for a mont and instinctively looked back, only to see Teacher Chen Yi walking slowly from behind the crowd with a cane in hand, whereupon the fervent and respectful Centaurs parted ways and bowed their heads.
“Teacher,”
Wang Zhongyi also hurriedly bowed respectfully.
“Hmm,”
Chen Yi nodded lightly, and with cane in hand, he slowly walked up to the ferocious-looking, terrified bearded man, staring calmly at him for a mont before finally speaking, “Who told you those words just now?”
“Others… other players,”
“There were players before, and I listened to their conversations, whenever a player descended into our city, I would arrange for my n to eavesdrop. I created this faction just to keep tabs on players!”
“With each restart of the world, everyone else loses their mories while I still rember everything. I know your world is called the Ascension Ga, and I know you players don’t regard us NPCs as human beings.”
