Chen Pan looked at the old man and asked seriously. At this moment, he was extremely interested in the origin of the man in front of him.
This person is definitely not simple, not to mention knowledgeable, and more importantly, just eating and saying a few words casually made me relax my vigilance and couldn't help but start talking with him.
This person did not use any mental power techniques. With his current mental power, even if he were born with the Supreme Respect of Light, it would be impossible for him to be affected invisibly.
This old man relies on an invisible charm. Although his clothes are ragged and unkempt, there is an air of superiority in his words and gestures, which makes people think that he is a junior.
Chen Pan couldn¡¯t guess who the person was who could achieve such an effect invisibly even though he searched his memory.
The old man shook his head slightly: "Meeting by chance is just fate. Why do you need to know my name? I don't treat you as a demon, and you don't treat me as a senior. We are just two ordinary people who meet occasionally and then say something. As long as we have common interests, that¡¯s fine.¡±
The other party refused, but he seemed even more unfathomable, especially the fact that he actually knew his origins, which surprised him even more. It should be noted that at this moment, Chen Pan had restrained his aura and changed his appearance. Even if Yang Zhu and the others were sitting across from him, they might not be able to recognize him. There was doubt in his heart, but Chen Pan had no way to make the other party tell him what he wanted to know.
"Where did you just say?" The old man thought for a moment, and then continued: "By the way, the war broke out. Maybe I don't care, but because of other people, or people I care about, I have to join the war."
Chen Pan nodded: "Yes, even if you don't like war. Sometimes you have to fight."
The old man nodded slightly: "Yes! Let me ask you something again. Have you ever felt guilty after killing so many people in the war?"
Chen Pan shook his head without hesitation: "No, since they chose to invade, they should have a death consciousness. I am here to protect the people I want to protect, so I must do this."
The old man nodded again: "Because they are evil and you are righteous, so there is no guilt. Right?"
"Not bad!" Chen Pan nodded.
¡°Let me ask you one more thing, how do you think the creatures in this world should get along with each other if all external factors are put aside?¡± The old man asked again.
"If there is no ambition, desire" Chen Pan thought as he spoke, but was interrupted by the old man.
"Don't talk about desire. Ambition can be put aside, but desire cannot. In this world, I can't find anyone without desire. Even the great road of heaven and earth has the desire to maintain the universe and the world from being destroyed."
Chen Pan thought for a moment, nodded, and then continued: "Putting aside some human factors, if it were not for the ambitions of some big shots, maybe the world would not have so many wars and become peaceful."
He was touched. Because of the emperor's ambition, Emperor Jiuli and Emperor Xuanyuan kept fighting. Also because of some supreme ambitions, the battle between the main world and the other world has never disappeared.
"Is it peaceful? Are you sure?" the old man asked again.
Chen Pan sighed, but finally shook his head: "No. There will still be wars. Natural selection, the law of the jungle."
No matter in the past life or in this life. These are the most basic laws of the universe. The environment is constantly changing. Those who can adapt will survive, and those who cannot adapt will be eliminated.
"Natural selection, the law of the jungle and the strong, is very reasonable!" The old man's eyes lit up, as if he did not expect Chen Pan to answer like this.
"Then what do you think of a strong man intervening in a battle between weak men?" the old man asked again.
Chen Pan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know. But I think if you are not on the same level, you should not participate in the other party's battle."
He has not thought deeply about this question and cannot give an answer at the moment. But if you think about it, if it were a war between mortals, at most a few people would die. But if the spiritual world intervenes, there will be corpses lying thousands of miles away in a snap.
"Let's put it this way. Two wolves who were dying of hunger found a dead rabbit together. The dead rabbit could only let one of the wolves live. In the end, the two wolves began to fight to the death. If you saw it, Help one of them?"
Chen Pan shook his head: "No, this is the law of nature. Whoever I help will be unfair to the other person."
The old man nodded: "Yes, this is the law of survival of the world. To use another analogy, your brother is not a monk, but an ordinary mortal. The Jinwu Kingdom goes to war with its neighboring countries, and your brother is defeated and is about to die. What will you do?"
Chen Pan was not pretentious and said without hesitation: "I will take action to save my brother."
"Why don't you care about the wolf's battle, but your brother's life and death? This is actually not much different from fighting for a dead rabbit. Without the interference of others, either your brother will kill his opponent, or his opponent will kill your brother. .¡±
"Because this is my younger brother, I can't possibly watch him die!"
The old man tapped his fingers: "Because of the influence of family ties, you took action. Do you think you are good or evil?"
"I only save people and don't kill them. It's not evil!" Chen Pan replied.
The old man was noncommittal and continued: "You rescued your brother, and the war was temporarily stopped. The country recuperated and began to develop. One day, the country's population was too large, and new land was necessary for the people to survive"
"I won't let them invade other countries!" Chen Pan interrupted. He vaguely knew what the old man wanted to say.
The old man shook his head: "It's not this. It's a new land that has no owner. Only by fully occupying this land can your brother's country, or your tribe, survive. At the same time, the same is true for another country. , they also have to have this land. What do you think will happen next?"
"War!" Chen Pan said in a deep voice.
The old man nodded: "Yes, war. War breaks out again. If your tribe is defeated and your brother is about to die, what will you do?"
"Help!" Chen Pan didn't make any pretense, it was meaningless. He felt that the old man could see what he was thinking.
He is not a pure and kind person. If he has to kill the other person to let his brother and the clan survive, he will not show mercy.
"You helped, so the advantage went to your tribe, and the other party also asked for help, and their strength was not weaker than yours. Originally, you could still hold back, but in this case, you can only do your best. In a big battle, the sky collapsed, and there were countless casualties. "Whose fault do you think it is?" the old man asked, looking into Chen Pan's eyes.
There is an indescribable light in those eyes, as if they have experienced countless years of precipitation and can see the bottom of their hearts at a glance.
No lie can escape these eyes.
"My fault!"
Chen Pan took a breath and said.
"If you had to choose again, would you still take action?"
This time, strings of cold sweat flowed from Chen Pan's forehead.
