"I wanted to disappear with the wind and perish along with this world of heroes. After all, I am a dead man, and it is only right that I return to dust and earth."
Liu Bang sat not far from Su Che, also looking up at the pictures flashing across the sky. He smiled faintly and said, "But I am always a little curious. If I let you interpret my life, how would you interpret it?"
“Now I see.”
"You have been transforming since you were a child, showing your excellence and trying to build a higher starting point. You often do this, and sure enough, you have done it quite well."
"When you were ten years old, you went to study at Jixia Academy and became a disciple of Xunzi, seeking the answer in your heart."
"After that, you came into contact with the Mohist school and found the answer there."
"However, the Mohist school founded by Mozi was too extreme. As time went by, it even gradually turned into a group of beasts without a ruler or father."
"According to your words, the Mohist School at that time was just a group of people advocating anarchy. Such an organization still had a little soil for survival during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but once the great unified dynasty came, the Mohist School would quickly disappear."
"You felt it was a pity for the Mohist school to disappear, so you created a new Mohist school and set about changing the entire Mohist school."
"New ink is born."
"Your advocacy of using science and technology to develop the country and improve productivity has made your New Mohist School highly valued, but also controversial. However, you don't care about these rumors."
"Your goal is very consistent and accurate. From the moment you personally intervened, you have been moving towards this goal unswervingly without wavering in the slightest. Such execution ability is amazing."
“When Qin destroyed all the states, I thought you would take advantage of the opportunity to attack, but you saw through the weak nature of the states and knew that they would not be destroyed unless they were destroyed, so you endured it.”
"Then you will begin a long wait, and at the same time learn my ability to identify people..."
“That’s when the only thing that moved me happened.”
Listening to Liu Bang's words, Su Che asked curiously, "What is it?"
"Your attitude towards Lü Zhi." Liu Bang said seriously: "After I died, Lü Zhi was a mad woman. You should know this, but you still married her without hesitation, treated her honestly, and had a heart-to-heart talk with her. You were not afraid of angering me, but your relationship with Lü Zhi became better and better."
"In this simulation, Lu Zhi did not turn into a crazy woman in the end."
"Maybe... I was wrong from the beginning."
"Because I was afraid of the Lu family, I distanced myself from Lu Zhi and pushed him to the Lu family's side. Perhaps if my attitude had not been like this at the beginning, this incident would not have happened."
When saying these words, Liu Bang's expression was a little gloomy, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Some truths are actually very simple.
For example, Liu Bang actually knew these things from the beginning, but he just didn't want to admit it.
If you haven't seen these with your own eyes.
He may not change his mind.
Su Che couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this.
Liu Bang continued, "After that, you took advantage of the gaps between the Qin army's attacks, penetrated the front lines, successfully tricked the Xianyang city gate open, issued various policies, and won the hearts of the people in Guanzhong."
"You have been determined to walk this path from the beginning, and now you finally have the opportunity to put it into practice."
"You have completely exempted the land tax, and will even exempt the head tax in the future."
"This move of yours is truly a stroke of genius. It demonstrates ."
"This will also make the 400,000 prisoners in Mount Li follow you on their own initiative."
"It also makes it easier for you to go east and sweep across the six nations in the future."
"The way of the Holy King is nothing more than this."
"After you unified the country, you still did not forget your original promise. You worked towards one goal all your life, and finally abolished the poll tax in your later years, successfully changing the course of history."
"The original historical trajectory was like a never-ending cycle, but you, with your method, successfully broke this cycle."
"Hahaha, those reformers in history always carried out reforms from top to bottom, and none of them succeeded."
"But you, the reform from the bottom up, have successfully changed the world after all."
"To be honest, I didn't expect you to succeed, but you did it. This is what surprised me the most."
"You solved one of the factors that led to the dynasty's downfall."
"Of course, there are still a few other problems that have not been solved. If possible, I would like to see you solve other problems..."
"Unfortunately, this is no longer possible. The Heroic Realm is about to be destroyed. You no longer have the opportunity to continue the simulation."
Listening to Liu Bang's words, Su Che also knew what problem he was referring to.
Natural disasters: locust plagues, floods, droughts, frost, hail, diseases, wind disasters, fires, and earthquakes.
There are so many crises in the natural environment that even a single one can cause agricultural production to decline and create a huge crisis.
Foreign invasion: When problems arise in internal governance, foreign invaders will take the opportunity to plunder, or even march straight into the Central Plains to burn, kill and loot.
Since ancient times, this has been a very important issue. If you don't pay attention to it, it will lead to a disaster. Even if it is just continuous harassment on the border, it is a very troublesome problem.
Administrative corruption: corruption and bribery are rampant, the privileged class is completely detached from the grassroots, administrative departments forget their responsibilities, and administrative efficiency has become extremely low.
Su Che has tried to solve these problems, but there is no good solution.
Natural disasters can be prevented, but they cannot be completely solved.
Foreign invasions can be fought back, and even the barbarians can be conquered and ruled, but this is only a temporary solution and there is no permanent solution.
The problem of administrative corruption is even more difficult to solve. People can be easily corrupted, and the solution is only temporary. It is impossible to eradicate it completely.
Su Che said helplessly: "I am not a saint. Even if I were a saint, I would not have a solution to these problems."
Hearing this, Liu Bang smiled and said, "Yes, that's the truth. Nothing is permanent , so let's not discuss this..."
"Come, let us witness the destruction of this world of heroes together."
Having said that, Liu Bang stood up.
The palace where the two were located slowly disappeared like melting ice and snow, and the entire world also disappeared at the same time.
Mountains and rivers were shattered, the earth cracked, the whole world was gradually disappearing, and a huge black hole appeared in the sky.
Su Che raised his head and looked at the black hole in the sky. Suddenly he saw something and his eyes widened: "What is that?"
In that black hole, Su Che saw the sky full of stars, the movement of the stars, countless fragments of space, and the flow of spiritual energy visible to the naked eye.
He was still in the void and saw a pair of huge eyes, which were staring at him!
Su Che had experienced this feeling of being spied on a long time ago, when he had just become a spirit master and stepped into the demon realm.
"That's the Star God!" Liu Bang was a high-level mythical hero after all. He knew many secrets that Su Che didn't know. He listened to Su Che's question and said casually.
"Star God?" Su Che was stunned when he heard this and asked curiously, "What is a Star God?"
"Star God is the god of this planet."
Liu Bang explained: "To put it in your way, it is the God of the Earth, or the will of heaven!"
"Some of the powerful people on your Earth borrowed the will of heaven and built a virtual consciousness network. They got the help and permission of the God of Earth. Otherwise, how could you have the ability to create that thing?"
"I see." Su Che suddenly realized, he nodded and said: "He observed me once before, and I thought it was an illusion at the time, but I didn't expect it to be true..."
"It's normal for a genius like you to be noticed by a Star God." Liu Bang said with a smile, "The existence of Star God is very old, as early as the ancient times. No one knows whether this Star God is a powerful being from the ancient times, integrated with the will of heaven, or born naturally."
"I know some gods who have merged with the will of the secret realm and become the gods of the secret realm, gaining almost eternal life." Su Che thought of the goddess Xue and spoke.
"That kind of thing is considered a god of a small world." Liu Bang glanced at Su Che and said, "Strictly speaking, you can also be considered a god of a small world. That should be your innate ability. The world is too small and has not yet developed a will, and it cannot help you become a god."
Su Che knew what Liu Bang was talking about. His innate ability was given to him in the place he named the Heroic Spirit Space. The reason why it was called a space instead of a small world of heroes was that it was too small. Although it was also a world of its own, it was still not good enough.
"Becoming the god of a small world has its advantages and disadvantages," Liu Bang said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Su Che asked.
"The advantage is naturally that it can give you almost eternal life, but the disadvantage is that once you become a god of a certain world, you will not be able to leave the Earth, let alone go outside the realm." Liu Bang said casually.
Outside the realm?
When Su Che heard this, he was stunned.
Before he could ask .
The entire world of heroes completely collapsed.
A huge, extremely wide river emerged from the ground, and everything around it gradually turned into nothingness.
The river stretches straight to the sky, seemingly endless.
Looking at this river, four words came to Su Che's mind, and he subconsciously said: "The long river of history?"
"Yes, this is the long river of history, or the long river of time." Liu Bang nodded: "What can you see when you look at this river?"
Su Che stared at the river.
In a trance, Su Che saw a burly man by the river in the distance.
He sighed: "Time flies by, day and night!"
Confucius was born at the wrong time. He was born in an era of turmoil and frequent wars.
The various vassal states were constantly fighting for hegemony and infighting, social order was in disorder, and the people were suffering.
In such a chaotic environment, he put forward a series of theories and views on morality, etiquette and political governance.
However, it was ultimately incompatible and no monarch was willing to adopt it.
There was another person not far away, he sighed:
"Why can't you listen to my advice?"
"If you change, you may die, but if you don't change, you will definitely be waiting for death!"
That was Han Feizi. He wanted to save his motherland, and wrote to the King of Han many times to advise him, hoping that the King of Han would work hard to govern the country, reform the laws and strengthen the country. However, the King of Han turned a deaf ear to him and never adopted his advice.
Reform is essentially a redistribution of social benefits, which will definitely damage the rights of vested interests, namely the existing aristocrats in various countries and the forces dependent on them.
They controlled the country's power, wealth, and people, and had enormous influence. Anyone who dared to harm their interests would be suppressed and persecuted, such as Wu Qi who was shot to death and Shang Yang who was torn to pieces after his death.
The monarchs, ministers and nobles of South Korea also understood that if they did not reform and strengthen themselves, they would only continue to decline and eventually be destroyed by the powerful Qin. But who was willing to give up the rights they had obtained?
You can only live a life of drunkenness and dreams, and enjoy every day of your life, without worrying about the flood after you die.
It was in this environment that Han Fei wrote famous works such as "Grief at the Lonely Heart" and "Five Vermin" to vent his inner depression.
Another old man stood there with his armor on his back, muttering:
"I am a general who has never lost a battle, but I died in a war I have never participated in. Perhaps this is my fate."
That was Bai Qi, the killing god of Qin. He had never been defeated in his life and had created a great reputation. However, he was sentenced to death by the King of Qin because he refused to take part in the war.
There was another man in a black dragon robe. He looked at the river and couldn't help laughing out loud:
"The Qin Empire, which lasted for thousands of years, was destroyed in the blink of an eye."
After five hundred years of hard work, the Qin people grew stronger and stronger, eventually annexed the world and established a unified dynasty, but it only lasted fourteen years.
The First Emperor wanted to establish an empire that would last forever, but he did not expect that the empire would perish in the second emperor.
This may be a trick of fate.
Another young general rushed past the river on horseback. The fearless figure was none other than Huo Qubing, who led 800 cavalrymen deep into the desert, won the most merits in the army twice, and was awarded the title of Marquis of Champion.
He was like an extremely bright meteor, flashing across the sky.
His name is obviously Huo Qubing.
But he died of illness at a young age.
Look at all this in front of you.
Su Che suddenly realized something.
"What did you see?" Liu Bang asked.
"I see the regrets of history." Su Che said slowly.
"The regrets of history?" Liu Bang smiled carefreely: "Everyone sees different things here. What I see is peace and prosperity, the most beautiful dance and music in the world, the most beautiful women in the world, and the high spirits when one is successful. I didn't expect that you actually saw the regrets of history. You are really a strange guy!"
"Maybe." Su Che smiled and continued to look at the long river.
Su Che has seen a lot in this long river of history.
I saw Ji Hanmeng’s dream blown away by the autumn wind at Wuzhangyuan.
I saw a good man, but not a good emperor.
I saw a dynasty at its peak fall to the bottom overnight.
I saw the loyal patriots buried in the wind and snow in Fengbo Pavilion.
I saw that everyone is mortal since ancient times, but we should leave our loyalty to shine in history.
I saw the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians at Yashan who bravely sacrificed their lives by jumping into the sea for their country.
I saw a hero who saved the Ming Dynasty but was abandoned by the emperor, who even sentenced him to death...
…
