Zhutian: From Douluo, the illusion becomes real

Chapter 715, Section 714: Measure and Discretion!

"alright!"

"We are the ones asking you this question."

"Your question made me end up saying so much without even realizing it."

"You still haven't answered us!"

What is the world like in your eyes?

"How big is it?"

Dongfang Qinlan tilted her head, interrupting with dissatisfaction.

Ye Qingcang smiled apologetically.

After all, it really was his problem.

The more you know, the more you think.

If you're not careful, the conversation can easily drift to other topics.

However, now that I've noticed this, it's not difficult to correct it. With a wave of my hand, the raindrops falling nearby automatically converge in front of me like rivers flowing together, forming a peculiar sight: "The universe is vast and boundless, encompassing countless worlds. There are also hierarchical divisions between worlds. The most basic world, such as the world you are in, is the entire continent where you and I are currently standing, including the ocean and the sky, as well as what you call Aolai Country and the outside world. All of these are called worlds, or planets. Counting the countless stars, including the sun you can see, and the moon, such a group of planets is defined as a galaxy. A super-galaxy composed of many, many galaxies is called a galaxy cluster. And what is composed of many galaxy clusters is the universe. This is the overall appearance of the world in my eyes."

"Wait, isn't this the universe?"

"How did it become the world again?"

"And how did you do that?"

"Use magic to catch the rainwater?"

"Then, knead and reshape it?"

Dongfang Qinlan looked at the water flow model in Ye Qingcang's hand.

They were clearly very interested.

It's unclear whether she was interested in the model itself or in the knowledge Ye Qingcang had just shared, but that doesn't matter.

The road ahead is still long.

Ye Qingcang had plenty of time to answer each question.

Of course, it also has something to do with Dongfang Qinlan's cute appearance. If Dongfang Qinlan were not cute, she might not have received this treatment. Ye Qingcang does not deny that he is a visual creature. Beauty or ugliness will bring innate goodwill or innate malice. All he can do is restrain his innate malice and maintain a rational attitude towards everyone. To say that he can completely restrain himself is obviously unrealistic.

Because humans are such special creatures.

Just like eating sweets when you're unhappy can greatly dilute negative emotions, or seeing beautiful scenery when you're in a hurry can make you subconsciously stop and greedily savor that little bit of pleasure, temporarily postponing what you need to do.

If a person can remain absolutely calm.

Always remain unmoved by external gains or losses.

That can only mean that this person is no longer human.

It is God.

An existence devoid of emotions, maintained solely by order.

But no matter how you explain it.

This is inextricably linked to Ye Qingcang's own thoughts: "The universe is the definition that mankind gives to this world. The world can be broken down and interpreted. 'World' can be understood as the cognition of mankind, and 'realm' can be understood as a stage of territory. In other words, the definition of the world has always been a stage of territory that mankind recognizes. Therefore, the territory in your eyes is this big, while the world in my eyes is this big. As for the definition, to put it bluntly, it is just a name, which is easy to handle. For example, my name is Ye Qingcang, but I also have a nickname, A Ying. No matter whether others call me Ye Qingcang or A Ying, I know that they are calling me. So, if I choose to accept other people's definitions, then I can be everything."

"I don't quite understand..."

Dongfang Qinlan scratched her head.

I inexplicably feel like I'm starting to grow a brain.

He sighed and told the truth.

However, Dongfang Huaizhu understood some of it and lowered her eyes, saying, "In other words, whether it's you, Young Master Ye, or my sister and I, we can all be called other things. What determines all of this is ourselves, whether we acknowledge it or not. The same applies to the world. If we acknowledge it, then the world exists; if we don't acknowledge it, then the world can cease to exist?"

"what?"

"No, sister, are you delirious from the fever?"

"Isn't the world just the world?"

Whether we acknowledge it or not, it's still the world!

Dongfang Qinlan looked at Dongfang Huaizhu in surprise.

Ye Qingcang clapped calmly and slowly.

He chuckled casually, “Miss Fang Zhu’s comprehension is indeed impressive. Yes, that’s exactly what I mean. In your eyes, this world is called the world and doesn’t need a name. But in my eyes, the world you see can be called the first cultivation plane in the first cultivation star system. In your star system, there may be a second, a third, a fourth, a fifth cultivation plane, and so on. There may be a second cultivation star system, a second wizard star system, a second low-martial star system, and so on next door. The star systems that encompass all of us may belong to the extraordinary star cluster, and further out, they will be defined accordingly.”

In that instant, Dongfang Huaizhu thought about many, many things.

This includes, but is not limited to, distinguishing the truth from falsehood in these statements.

However, she did not ask all her questions.

It is a major taboo to speak too intimately with someone you don't know well.

The question is: if she were to question Ye Qingcang, "Since you say you came from outside our world, what evidence do you have to prove that what you said is true?" how would Ye Qingcang respond?

Let's assume Ye Qingcang has a good temper.

He explained with a smile.

It would make her seem too narrow-minded.

Furthermore, saying these things to someone you've only known for less than ten minutes is somewhat inappropriate and could easily lower your image in their eyes, causing unnecessary trouble for future communication. Even if she and the other person have little to no contact in the future, it's always better to be safe than sorry. What if you meet again someday and both of you feel awkward? It's unnecessary to just say something impulsively in the moment.

But what if Ye Qingcang has a bad temper?

Think differently.

Anyone would feel dissatisfied if they were questioned.

I simply retorted: Believe it or not, I didn't ask you to believe me.

Even if she was very angry, she could only endure it.

After all, she crossed the line first.

This would immediately disrupt the atmosphere.

When traveling, even if you can't make many friends, it's best not to make enemies. Although she is very confident in her strength, and her father has also assessed her strength, saying that if she weren't a girl, the power of her Pure Yang Flame would be even stronger, and her magic power and physique would also be stronger, enough to suppress most of the demon kings in the world. Unfortunately, now she can only guarantee that she won't be defeated by most demon kings, which means that she can only rely on her Pure Yang Flame to achieve a 50/50 or 40/60 split. As long as she doesn't make enemies with the demon kings, they won't risk their lives to play a one-for-one game with her. It would be more appropriate to set her realm at the half-step demon king realm.

Among the younger generation, there are no more than twenty people with her level of ability.

It's still very safe.

Even if Ye Qingcang really is an outsider.

It seems unlikely that she could be easily suppressed.

However, whether or not you can beat someone is not the core criterion for forming an enmity.

Therefore, it's just a matter of saying one more thing.

At best, they'll be awkwardly speechless when they meet again in the future.

In severe cases, we might not even have the chance to meet again.

She couldn't make money from either one, so she had no choice but to choose none.

Besides, there was also Ye Qingcang's purpose in coming, which she wanted to ask but was too embarrassed to ask. Because humans and demons had been fighting for thousands of years, they understood each other's habits. Although she had never been to the Western Regions and had not combined the knowledge in books with reality.

Humans and demons living in the same world are like this.

Fight to the death.

If what Ye Qingcang said is true.

She simply couldn't imagine what Ye Qingcang, who came from another world, would do.

The best outcome would be cooperation with the human race.

Then, they took away some of the resources held by humans.

The worst outcome is war.

You need territory, and I need territory too.

You need resources, and I need resources too.

Since we can't reach an agreement, we have no choice but to solve this problem in the simplest and most direct way: eliminate the weak, and the strong will naturally accept the legacy of the weak and rightfully seize all the resources.

In this situation of foreign invasion.

Will only the demon race suffer?
Or does it mean that humans are included as well?
When that time comes, how will the human and demon races face Ye Qingcang, the ferocious alien world behind him, and this war that is destined to sweep across the world?

Don't say silly things like we're from the same race.

They are not creatures from the same planet.

Where does the claim of being of the same clan come from?
Furthermore, as for whether or not they can win this war, it seems there is absolutely no chance of winning. They have already pushed open the door and broken into your home. Do you still think that a thin quilt can stop the enemy? Such thinking is pure self-deception. The basic condition that must be met in order to win this special war is that they also have the ability to push open the door. Otherwise, it will only be a one-sided passive beating, and the initiative of the war will always be in the hands of the other side.

It's fair to say that all the news is bad.

on the contrary.

If Ye Qingcang is lying to her.

They said there was no such thing.

They lied and claimed to be approaching everything with a friendly attitude.

Does she believe it or not?

If you believe it, you might fall into a trap.

To reduce the losses on Ye Qingcang's side.

If they don't believe it, they will definitely find other ways to verify it.

And so it was verified time and time again.

Isn't that also a form of self-deception?
The human heart is something that cannot withstand testing. The more you test it, the more suspicious it becomes, the more you will struggle with yourself, and the more trouble you will bring.

It's better to live a simpler life.

Live more honestly.

Live with a sense of propriety.

Therefore, unlike the straightforward Dongfang Qinlan, Dongfang Huaizhu is the kind of girl who thinks of everything but chooses to remain silent, intending to observe further and make sure everything is foolproof before drawing a conclusion. Dongfang Qinlan, on the other hand, is the kind of girl who is precocious yet impulsive, with a pure and simple mind, and makes judgments based on intuition.

However, Dongfang Huaizhu remained silent.

Dongfang Qinlan seemed to have also noticed something was wrong.

The frequency of speaking has decreased significantly.

In addition, Ye Qingcang is not the type of person who rushes to talk.

Having topics to talk about is naturally even better.

His conversational skills are average.

Although it doesn't quite reach the level of being full of witty remarks.

But it shouldn't kill the conversation.

As a result, the atmosphere cooled down.

After speaking intermittently for a few more minutes.

The group of dead people successfully arrived in the town.

"There doesn't seem to be anyone here!"

"Is something going to happen?"

Dongfang Qinlan frowned slightly as she looked at the desolate scene.

This place isn't a city with a curfew.

It's just a small town.

It shouldn't be so deserted.

In addition, it is evening rather than late at night, and the sky is full of dark clouds, so it looks dark. Even if everyone has chosen to go home to avoid the rain, there should still be someone on the street.

Furthermore, this place is close to the southern regions.

It is clearly not as safe as the mainland.

Although the demons of the Southern Kingdom are much more law-abiding than those of the Western Regions, the most law-abiding demons are undoubtedly the fox demons of Tushan. This is because Tushan governs the reincarnation of humans and demons, and has no prejudice against either. The Northern Kingdom is similar to the Southern Kingdom, but the difference is that the Southern Kingdom's toughness is simply pride, pride in Huandu Qingtian, the first demon emperor in the history of both humans and demons. In contrast, the Northern Kingdom's toughness is driven by hatred. This is because the Northern Kingdom was formerly the Demon-Controlling Kingdom. Even though the Demon-Controlling Kingdom, which attracted hatred at the time, had no connection with the Yi Qi Dao Alliance, the original members of the Demon-Controlling Kingdom were all humans. This hostility naturally shifted to the Yi Qi Dao Alliance after the Demon-Controlling Kingdom's destruction, resulting in extremely tense relations for a period of time. However, things have improved slightly now.

In short, the monsters in the South are not ferocious only compared to those in the Western Regions.

The monsters of the Western Regions can be said to kill anyone they see.

Because Fan Yunfei, the Sand Fox Prince of the Western Regions, is the only demon emperor who has ever opposed and killed a human expert. At the time, he killed Wang Quan Jingxing, the leader of the One Qi Alliance and the head of the Wang Quan family. Regardless of Fan Yunfei's thoughts at the time, his actions gave the impression of targeting the human race. Coupled with the effect of the superiors setting an example for the subordinates, killing people by demons in the Western Regions has become a nominally correct practice, and there is no need to consider so much about whether or not to kill.

The monsters of the South, however, would consider whether or not to kill them.

Considering the relationship between the demon race and the human race.

Considering the relationship between the Southern Kingdom and the Qi Dao Alliance.

Therefore, the monsters of the Southern Kingdom often captured people to work for them. It was common to see groups of refugees returning after a period of time. Fortunately, the human race used monsters in a similar way. Almost every family had monsters under their control. The most obvious example was Mu Mie's father, Mu Renzhi, who secretly released a miner monster. Although that monster was indeed innocent and a real man, otherwise, it would not have gone alone to the Xiao family's Supervisory Office after hearing of Mu Renzhi's death and made a scene, trying to clear Mu Renzhi's name with its own life. Such behavior could be praised as chivalrous. However, the custom of capturing and exchanging monsters had long existed between the two sides.

Therefore, Dongfang Qinlan only found it strange.

There was no intention to investigate.

Instead, they followed Ye Qingcang and his sister Dongfang Huaizhu, along with their young page, to the only restaurant still open in the town. They found a seat and began to order a few dishes.

However, before the four of them could sit down for long...

The food hasn't all been served yet.

That is, about ten minutes later.

Several other figures slowly descended from the sky.

It added a touch of life to this quiet little town.
