Everyone in this world probably lives for similar reasons.
People who are not so wealthy want to pursue a richer life, and people with lower privileges want to pursue higher privileges so that they can have more wealth, higher status, and enjoy a better life.
Including Ye Feng himself.
He had shown great talent since he was a child, and he kept climbing up the ladder, with his privilege level rising step by step, from a noble to a king.
In the future, he wants to become an emperor, or even a higher level! This is what he has always been pursuing, and he will spend his whole life pursuing this. This is his desire.
This is probably also true for saints.
Although Ye Feng did not say it directly, this was indeed his most sincere thought.
And Chu Lin saw it.
"Haha." He sneered again, "Don't use yourself to figure us out. What you have spent your whole life pursuing is nothing in our eyes, and even less worth mentioning in the eyes of the saints."
Ye Feng's face flushed a little.
Because, at this moment, he also saw the transcendence in Chu Lin.
It’s just like the line in the poem “Everyone is drunk but I am sober.”
However, if what they are pursuing is not privileged status and identity, how do they have such high privileges? He knows very well how much effort it takes to improve the level of privilege.
This is something that requires a person to spend his entire life climbing.
The same is true for everyone in this world.
Therefore, the other party’s transcendence is not directed at him, but at the whole world!
However, although he was a little angry, Ye Feng still endured it due to the huge gap in status and strength between the two sides.
He just asked softly: "The realm of the saints is naturally beyond my comprehension, but I don't understand, if we don't pursue status and power, identity and career in life, what else can we pursue?"
This is a rhetorical question and also a doubt.
Ye Feng was even prepared to be killed on the spot. If that happened, he would just leave this place of trouble, and after everything was over, he would take part in the Trial of God again and regain his status as king.
But Chu Lin was not angry.
He just glanced at Ye Feng, shook his head, and said softly: "What the Sage has created is you. You are the future of 'humanity'."
Ye Feng gradually opened his eyes wide.
He wanted to see something from Chu Lin and find out what Chu Lin's attitude was behind what he said.
However, all he could see was seriousness and pride.
That's right, proud.
The emperor in front of him was feeling extremely proud that he could follow the sage and pursue such a goal together.
He had a firm conviction, an absolute confidence, no less than his own in his pursuit of privileged status.
But this is too weird.
For them, for the future of mankind? For their betterment? But the other party just said that people are very satisfied with their current life and everything in this world.
They could have had a good future.
Ye Feng seemed to be completely unable to understand.
He seemed to be pondering this sentence in his mind, as if trying to discover some information that he had not thought of.
But I never thought of it anyway.
It was as if he had missed something crucial.
However, just when he wanted to say something else, Chu Lin picked up his wine glass and ordered him to leave.
"Go back, and you will know everything when the time comes."
Ye Feng looked at Chu Lin's cold expression and knew that he could not stay there any longer. If he stayed, he would not be able to ask anything and might even anger the emperor in front of him.
What's more, the conversation just now has been in his mind.
Until he returned to his residence, his friends gathered around him, but no one could figure out what the sage's purpose was.
But his friends were all quite nervous.
"Brother Feng, do you know anything?"
"Yeah, otherwise we should respond to those emperors."
“Don’t push yourself.”
"The worst that can happen is that I'll just drop a grade. It's really too dangerous to get involved in something like this."
"Brother Feng?"
In the end, it was the queen who pulled Ye Feng's arm, her eyes full of worry.
"I'm fine." Ye Feng came back to his senses and shook his head helplessly, "I did talk to the emperor for a while, and he answered some questions, but I don't quite understand what his answers meant."
After finishing speaking, he simply told the whole conversation between him and Chu Lin.
These people were his companions who had been working together for a long time and had experienced a lot together. Coupled with his confidence in himself, he had no intention of hiding anything from them.
This not-so-long conversation also sparked a lot of discussion among these people.
"What on earth does that mean?"
"For the future of mankind?"
“I don’t understand.”
"Do you look down on us for pursuing a privileged status? But aren't saints the most privileged people in the entire world?"
Just like Ye Feng, these people couldn't figure it out and felt confused and bewildered.
The queen couldn't help but complain: "For our future? It sounds like something will go wrong in our future."
This was originally just a complaint, but she found that Ye Feng seemed to be suddenly stunned.
"What's wrong, Brother Feng?"
"nothing."
Ye Feng muttered to himself, reviewing everything that had just happened in his mind, reviewing the emperor's expression, gaze, and tone.
It was not until this time that he vaguely discovered it.
There is always a faint sense of pity towards the other person.
And that kind of transcendence.
It is like the pity of the superiors for the inferiors who have encountered misfortune.
So, will there really be any problems in their future? And the reason why the Sage summoned all their kings and emperors was to solve this problem? No way. Ye Feng couldn't help but feel a little scared. All his previous speculations and calculations were centered around the struggle for power and interests, but if what he thought was true, then what he and everyone else calculated was indeed not worth mentioning.
The most important thing.
His unique intuition gave him an unprecedented warning! This even made him feel anxious like never before, and he couldn't wait to know what was going to happen.
"I want to meet the sage!" he said suddenly.
"What?" The others were all shocked.
But Ye Feng walked out regardless. His intuition had helped him many times, and compared with the warning in his heart, even the risk of being demoted seemed to be insignificant! (End of this chapter)
