"And as I said, I paid dearly for this. Launching a purge is never something you take lightly."The Flower Eater's brows were shrouded in sadness, "You can't imagine what I have paid."
Zhong Ning did not hide his sarcasm at all and sneered immediately.
"What did you pay for? A tongue?"
Burch hid in the corner and shivered. If he didn't have to speak for the adults, he wouldn't want to speak at all. He just wanted to hide in a bush.
Actually, it thinks these guys are pretty nice... Why did these guys quarrel with adults...
The Flower Eater's eyes gradually turned cold. "Although I am very tolerant, you can't be too presumptuous."
Zhong Ning wanted to say something, but Minister Gao quickly reached out and pulled the man back, and covered his mouth with his hands neatly.
"Watch your words! I understand, I understand. This kid doesn't speak well, so I won't let him speak anymore."
When the Flower Eater started to talk about the real price, Ran Ran had a bad feeling in her heart.
"I lost someone close to me."
"For a long time, I was not alone. We were by each other's side, and the time was long and peaceful. But in order to bring new changes to the world, I had to sacrifice my loved ones for this [cleansing]."
Ranran's heart skipped a beat when she heard this.
It was Armand, she was sure of it instantly.
After all, the body she is using now is still Elizabeth, Armand's flesh and blood, and Elizabeth's remaining emotions will affect her.
"…you said before that Armand was your favorite creation…"
The flower eater looked at Ran Ran with an appreciative look, "You are really smart."
"Indeed, Armand's predecessor was my closest relative. We were twins, so close that we were almost one."
"After I become a god, I will give him half of my power and let him manage the world with me."
"But he has not experienced the necessary condition for becoming a god - stripping away emotions. Therefore, even if he obtains my power, he cannot completely become a god."
"At his core, he's just a human being with great divine powers."
The flower eater suddenly looked at Ran Ran, "Very similar to you."
Everyone was stunned, overwhelmed by the huge amount of information and unable to react.
Ran Ran frowned, "Do I have divine power?"
The Flower Eater smiled. "The power of the gods and the world power of each world have the same origin and are different from each other, so I don't know what the world power of your world is like, but the power in you is so strong, even if it is sealed..."
"It's hard for me not to suspect it's divine power."
After hearing this, everyone had different expressions and stared at Ranran.
"So...what are you..."
Ran Ran felt a little irritated, she smiled perfunctorily, "I want to know too."
"This gentleman said that humans with divine powers are still humans after all." Doctor Bai spoke up to help Ranran out and gave her a soothing look, as gentle as running water.
Ranran's irritability subsided a little, but it didn't disappear completely.
Because she knew in her heart that she was not human.
"Sir, my next words may be a little offensive. Is your only purpose in sacrificing your loved ones to change the new world?"
After Dr. Bai asked the question, everyone's attention was completely diverted from Ranran.
The Flower Eater's eyes turned colder. "What do you want to say?"
Doctor Bai smiled and said, "After all, as you said, your relative is not a god in the strict sense, so when handling things, he will naturally not be as standard as you, the god, do."
"What I want to express is whether your loved ones have many disagreements with you on the issue of transforming the world." The Flower Eater's eyes became colder. "I am the real god. He cannot interfere with my decision."
"But you said co-governance, didn't you? Your loved ones should also have the right to express their opinions, and it should be you who invited your loved ones to manage the world with you in the beginning, right?"
There was finally some expression on the Flower Eater's plain face, and he frowned.
"I am generous enough to share half of my divine power with him. Otherwise, he would never be that powerful."
Ran Ran suddenly said, "You want to share your divine power, but have your loved ones accepted it?"
The Flower Eater suddenly fell silent, and Birch thought that He could not remember that memory, so he took the initiative to speak.
"I saw it in the adults' dreams. The adults' relatives didn't want to do it. They were stupid and just wanted to live an ordinary life. They also said they were not interested in managing the whole world."
"Besides, bearing the power of God is a very painful thing. As people's faith increases, the power of God becomes stronger and stronger. At the beginning, the pain was unbearable, so you thought of going down to look for your loved ones..."
"In adults' nightmares, being tortured by divine power is a very horrific dream, it ranks among the top three!"
Burch started talking a lot, only to find that the flower eater's face was not looking good.
"…Sir, did I say something wrong?"
Before the flower eater could get angry, Minister Gao quickly grabbed Birch into his arms.
"That's right, that's right! I'm telling the truth, how can it be wrong?"
Even though this little bird is fat and stupid, it really speaks the truth!
So the truth is not that he wanted to [share] the divine power out of consideration for the friendship between the twins, but that he could not bear the pain brought by the power, so he thought of letting his closest relatives [share] half of the pain.
Ran Ran's eyes flashed with understanding, "Thank you, Burch, for clearing up the confusion and helping your master recall the memory he couldn't remember, otherwise we would have almost had a misunderstanding."
She smiled at the Flower Eater, "That would explain why you were willing to sacrifice your loved ones for the sake of the Great Plan of Change."
"In your eyes, that's probably the price he should pay."
"He took away half of the power that belonged to me. Shouldn't that be right?"
Hei Cha spoke the truth with a cold face, "But from the beginning he was unwilling to take this power. It was you who forced him to take it, and then forced him to give it up."
The Flower Eater's expression was slightly distorted. "After all, he is just one of my subjects."
"For the sake of [change], I have enough courage to sacrifice so many people. Even if he was once my bloodline and my closest relative, I would not be soft-hearted."
Ranran suddenly didn't want to listen to the flower eater's nonsense anymore.
This is an extremely hypocritical suggestion.
She knew without asking that the flower eater would definitely gain something from the so-called "change".
They had already planned to let the flower eater go, but the flower eater refused to give in.
"There is one more thing you have been saying wrongly. It was never me who killed those people."
"I just launched the Great Purge, doing what a god should do."
"They killed themselves."
The Flower Eater said expressionlessly, "If they weren't so ignorant, how could the world's progress have stagnated at such a primitive stage? No matter how I use natural disasters and man-made calamities to force them to move forward, their speed is always slow, as if as long as I am optimistic, everything will be fine."
"After learning about other developed worlds, I couldn't stand my world remaining at such a backward stage."
"This is the root cause, do you understand?"
Ran Ran nodded, "I understand, but you are wrong."
"The fundamental reason is that you can't stand falling behind the gods of other worlds."
"It's your vanity as a god that's been at work all along."
"You haven't stripped away your emotions thoroughly enough. It seems that you are not qualified to be a god." (End of this chapter)
