Can you tell me a story? What kind of story is it?
Arthur asked hesitantly.
What kind of story is this... It's my story. How about it? Are you willing to listen to it?
Kang recalled a hundred years ago.
The moment when the dream began.
The two ants happily made their wishes to the great Creator God.
A prosperous empire began from then on, and at that moment, it was destined to decline.
Kang Wangzuo, his own story?
Arthur was stunned. Kang's status was very high, even his grandfather had to respect him.
So, what about his own story?
Perhaps this would be a good experience for the nascent Mayan civilization.
Yes, my own story.
Kang sighed.
I want to listen.
Arthur nodded. She felt that the story told by someone like Kang would surely be turbulent and magnificent.
What kind of story would that be?
The seeker's steadfast path of seeking truth?
Or is it the majestic figure of a peerless king who unifies the world?
Or, a legend of a strong man defeating countless powerful enemies and proving his invincibility once and for all?
But she didn't understand, no matter which story it was, what did it have to do with her grandfather's death?
Does Kang want to talk about his grandfather's past?
[Over a hundred years ago, there were two people who were hatched in the same batch. One was called Kang, and the other was called Ni. As you can see, one of them is me, and the other...]
Kang looked around at the old men, and they naturally knew who Ni was.
That was their king, the real king.
[He is our king, but not your king. Your king can only be you.]
When Kang said this, he felt a little lonely.
Today, the Mayan civilization is called Maya.
But he had long forgotten who Ni was.
After all, they can't teach.
This is their history, not the history of the new generation.
The new generation should have its own history.
Arthur nodded, not quite understanding.
A little silly and cute.
But Ni wasn't born a king. In fact, we were originally ruled directly by our mother, who was our king. Later, she wanted to establish an imperial system and a system of immortals. We were dissatisfied, so we joined another compatriot named Di in a war against the immortals and established a new country called Xia.
Recalling those days, Kang's memory is a little fuzzy.
After all, in his opinion, none of that was important.
Kang Wangzuo, are you fighting for freedom? To avoid being subjected to that king's immortal system?
Arthur speculated about Kang's motives for his actions.
Fighting for freedom?
Kang was stunned. He carefully recalled his mentality at that time for a moment. After recalling for a while, Kang shook his head.
I don't know why I'm fighting and tearing myself apart with my compatriots. It seems...everyone around me did it back then, so I just followed suit. I'm not very smart, you know.
During the war that year, many ants were actually like Kang.
Everyone around me says and does this, so I just follow suit.
As for freedom? Resistance to oppression?
What was that? They didn’t understand at that time.
Intelligent life can sometimes be quite ridiculous; when alone, it seems as if they are the most intelligent individuals in the world.
But if they gather together, they can sometimes become the most powerful fist to break oppression.
But more often than not, they become the mob that shatters the truth.
You have to ask why they do this? What is the basis? Is there any reason?
No.
Just because others say so and do so, you follow suit.
[Everyone else is doing it, so you just follow suit?]
Arthur was stunned. She obviously hadn't expected this answer.
Wang Zuo, respected by our fathers, would actually be a blind follower.
This is unavoidable...
There's nothing surprising about this. I'm not some genius, I'm just an ordinary individual. Blind obedience is the way of survival for those at the bottom of society. Born at the bottom, if you still want to have individuality, then there are only two paths you can take: destruction or a lonely life.
Kang had no intention of justifying or covering up his blind obedience back then.
This is how the lower class survives.
If you do something wrong, you will definitely be punished.
However, if you work with a group of people, then even if you are punished, it will not be serious.
Individuals who are caught will be severely tortured.
【Too.】
Arthur wanted to retort, but quickly reacted.
Isn't your attempt to refute a manifestation of people's rejection?
Because your opinion is different from mine, I will convince you until you agree with me.
Then, Kang's blind obedience is itself the best way to deal with this situation.
Yes, you are right, I am with you.
After that day, we thought that life would continue as it was, but until that day, the great God gathered a group of people to participate in his experiment, and Ni and I were chosen by Him.
【The Mayan civilization also began at that moment.】
Kang did not continue to talk about the topic of whether to blindly follow.
It’s just an attitude towards life. Some people choose to join the crowd, while others prefer to go against the trend. It’s all about attitude towards life.
[That experiment was brutal, with many casualties. Of the ten people, only Ni and I survived.]
