Gu Liyan was shocked and asked the man whose face she couldn't see, "Who...who are you?"
The newcomer was neither Mo Han, nor Mo Chen, nor Long Wei, and certainly not an ordinary person. What surprised him was the aura of the Chaotic Life and Death Contract that Gu Liyan recognized emanating from him!
"Heh, unable to condense a demon core, you really are pathetic!"
Upon hearing that incredibly familiar voice, Gu Liyan trembled, staring at him in horror. "Could it be that you... you are..."
The man smirked and said something puzzling: "If you can create one 'one,' why can't I create millions of 'ones'?"
Gu Liyan's pupils contracted, and he had already guessed the identity of the person who came. He was shocked beyond words.
"Alright, I won't waste any more words. Gu Liyan, listen to me, your time is running out. If you continue to drift along like this, mediocre and unambitious, then you—have no reason to exist!" the man said solemnly.
As she spoke, she raised her finger and touched the peach blossom mark at the corner of Gu Liyan's eye.
Upon hearing the man's words, Gu Liyan's face turned deathly pale, and a sense of crisis arose spontaneously.
The moment the man's finger touched the peach blossom mark at the corner of his eye, he realized that the life-and-death contract and the power of chaos within his body were disappearing little by little!
Gu Liyan panicked immediately and hurriedly asked, "Tell me, what should I do?"
The man stopped when Gu Liyan asked him. Only then did Gu Liyan feel the energy that had just disappeared return and free him.
The man glanced at Gu Liyan and solemnly said, "You don't know yet, do you? The Kingdom of Shuyi and the Kingdom of Wushi have already implemented their unification plan and are preparing to gather troops to attack the Kingdom of Weilong tomorrow."
"What?!" Upon hearing this, Gu Liyan was shocked, his expression changing drastically. "If they attack now, the Weilong Kingdom, beset by internal and external troubles, will have no power to retaliate!"
“That’s right, that’s the problem! As you know, this world-class mission is not as simple as it seems on the surface, otherwise Mo Han wouldn’t have come to assist you.”
Gu Liyan frowned and nodded.
“These three countries actually symbolize law, commerce, and force. Only by perfectly combining these three elements to establish a democratic world can we achieve true unity and completeness!” the man said.
Gu Liyan nodded. He had thought so too. In the end, unification would require a suitable monarch to succeed him!
Seemingly guessing Gu Liyan's thoughts, the man said, "Relying solely on a monarch to hold power is not enough. After all, people's hearts are unpredictable and not static. Only true democracy is the best choice!"
"You mean... let the people decide for themselves?!" Gu Liyan's eyes lit up when she heard the man's words.
"That's roughly the idea: to limit the use of force with the law, to punish illegal acts with force, to promote prosperity through commerce, to allow people to have their own sovereignty, and to exercise their power under the management of the law and the restraint of force."
“If that were the case, the world would be completely transformed, but this is too difficult…” Gu Liyan said with a frown.
"It's not that difficult, but it's not that easy either! It all depends on how you do it!" the man said, glancing at Gu Liyan.
"I... I can't do it. If it were my senior brother, he should be able to..." Gu Liyan lowered his head in self-consciousness.
"Fool!" The man flew into a rage upon hearing Gu Liyan's words, his face turning cold as he said, "When you had the resolve to protect Hua Baixian, didn't you have the confidence to conquer the world? Is your heart so narrow that it's confined to your own world?"
Gu Liyan was slightly taken aback. Was his heart narrow-minded?
He shouldn't be that kind of person!
He just wanted to protect that person.
The man continued, "I won't say much more. Only if you solve this problem yourself will you be worthy to go to that world with Li Erniang. If you can't solve it... I will eliminate you before this world collapses!"
Gu Liyan was stunned for a moment before realizing the seriousness of the problem. "But what should I do?"
The man scolded him with a look of utter exasperation, "Idiot! The answer to a problem is found by thinking, not by asking! Use your brain!"
The man angrily berated himself, but Gu Liyan wasn't angry. Instead, she felt as if she had suddenly understood something. What was it? The answer was elusive, yet it seemed to be about to surface!
Seeing that Gu Liyan seemed to have a sudden realization, the man said, "Not all problems can be solved by force. If you, a sage, are not enough, then create another one!"
Before Gu Liyan could say anything, the man suddenly spoke up urgently, "I don't have time, I have to go back, otherwise it will be terrible if I'm discovered! My name is Mo Sheng, you have never seen me before, nor have you ever heard my voice! I'm outta here!"
Mo Sheng said something hastily and then disappeared from the spot.
Immediately afterward, Gu Liyan's vision blurred, and when she opened her eyes again, she found that there was nothing unusual around her, and she was lying in bed as if she had just woken up from a dream.
The sunlight streaming through the window was exceptionally warm. Gu Liyan suddenly recalled the seven sufferings of life that he had heard when he was named, and murmured to himself, "Birth, old age, sickness, death, being with those you hate, being separated from those you love, and not getting what you want... I suppose that must be the representative of 'birth'? So, does that mean I completely represent the meaning of 'being separated from those you love'?"
Thinking of this, Gu Liyan suddenly frowned, and her conversation with him began to become increasingly blurry. "What did he say about me creating the first one, and what was that again? How come I suddenly forgot? And..."
With his brows furrowed, Gu Liyan momentarily forgot what the person looked like, and even forgot his voice, only remembering his name—Mo Sheng!
