I Became the Legendary Emperor Throughout the Ages After I Started Giving Away My Territory

Chapter 330.2



Lin Beifan asked: “Knowing all this, why do you still insist?”

“This is the ideal we pursue in our lives, the cause we strive for, and the faith that never changes!”

Chu Tianming said with a resonant voice: “If ideals were so easy to achieve, they wouldn’t be called ideals! If a cause was so easy to accomplish, there would be no need to struggle! If faith could change or fade so easily, it wouldn’t be called faith!”

“What we care about is the pursuit of our ideals, not the outcome! Even if we are like moths to a flame, even if we are shattered to pieces, I will have no regrets! I have lived in this world and I have struggled. That is enough to justify my existence!”

The other Mohist disciples looked over, their eyes filled with determination.

Lin Beifan showed his respect: “You are a group of noble and admirable people. I greatly admire you!”

“We also admire Your Majesty. At such a young age, you established the greatest empire in the world!”

Chu Tianming bowed and said: “We see hope in Your Majesty! As long as you steadfastly protect Great Xia and refrain from waging wars lightly! And continue to prioritize the people, vigorously develop production, and promote agriculture, our Mohist will definitely support you wholeheartedly!”

Lin Beifan shook his head again: “That’s absolutely impossible! As long as I live, the iron hooves of our Great Xia will never stop!”

“Your Majesty, your territory is already vast. Isn’t that enough?” The masked girl blurted out, breaking her silence.

“How could it be enough, which Emperor would think their land is too little?”

Lin Beifan laughed: “Actually, by doing this, I am also considering the common people of the world!”

The Mohist members were baffled: “Considering the common people?”

Lin Beifan opened his arms, speaking as if he encompassed the world within his arms, “As long as the world is united under one rule, and all lands return to Xia, then there will be no wars, no invasions, and the world will naturally be at peace! All the people of the world are my subjects, they will all abide by the laws of Great Xia, naturally achieving equality and living in peace and happiness!”

“Ah…” The Mohist members were baffled once again.

“No wars, equality for all at birth, isn’t this exactly the ideal your Mohist has always pursued? If your family is sincere, you should assist me! Once the world is united, your ideals will also be realized!”

The Mohist disciples were very tempted, but the Mohist elder remained unmoved.

Chu Tianming shook his head and said: “Your Majesty, I have already considered what you said! Uniting the world and bringing all under one rule can indeed solve these problems! However, since the dawn of human civilization, no one has ever been able to unite the world!”

“The closest anyone ever came was Heavenly Khan 3,000 years ago! Yet, even though Heavenly Khan was wise and valiant, with a heroic presence, he ultimately failed! His Celestial Empire crumbled in an instant! Your Majesty…”

Chu Tianming looked at Lin Beifan, speaking with heartfelt sincerity: “Even the great Heavenly Khan couldn’t do it… can you?”

“I can’t be bothered to say more. As the saying goes, a summer insect cannot discuss ice!” (TLN: Certain experiences or truths are beyond the comprehension of those who have not encountered them.)

Lin Beifan looked down upon the world and declared in a resounding voice.

“Just watch. This world is within my reach and everything will eventually fall into my hands!”

“In the end, I call the shots in this world!”

……

The conversation ended on a somewhat sour note.

Although the Mohist members had anticipated this, they couldn’t help but feel disappointed.

“Master, don’t be sad! If His Majesty doesn’t accept our ideas, we’ll just find another Emperor! There will always be an Emperor who recognizes the value of our philosophy and accepts it!” someone consoled.

Chu Tianming sighed and said with a wry smile: “Thank you for the consolation, but I still can’t help feeling unwilling! The Great Xia Emperor, being the foremost Emperor in the world today, would be a blessing to all the people if he could accept our ideas! And our Mohist’s long-pursued ideals could advance further! But who knew…”

“Who knew he would be a war madman, completely unwilling to listen to anything!” Someone complained indignantly.

“His country is already so vast, and the population so numerous, yet he still isn’t satisfied and wants to continue expanding his territory! Is human greed truly endless?”

“Little Si, don’t say too much! Everyone has their own aspirations, and we can’t force them.”

Chu Tianming pondered for a moment and said, “To leave now would be to do so with reluctance. I have decided to stay here for a few days to keep an eye on the situation in Great Xia and to seek another opportunity to meet with him. There might be a chance for a turnaround.”

The disciples of the Mohist nodded in agreement. They knew their leader was such a persistent figure.

For the ideals of the Mohist, he would give everything with no regrets, even in the face of death.

“Master, do you think it’s possible that he might truly achieve his ambitions? When the world is united and everything is brought into harmony… will our Mohist’s ideals also be realized?” A crisp voice rang out.

Everyone instinctively turned to look at the masked young girl standing behind them.
