Chapter 783

~6 min read 1,158 words

Karna didn't know that Ashwatthama and Arjuna had also entered the simulation; he was still watching the simulation in front of him.

Day 1: Karna said goodbye to his teacher Parashurama and prepared to head toward Hastinapur. However, when Karna passed by a village, Karna saw a man standing on a high platform telling everyone below something:

"I have a dream! I dream that one day, everyone in this country can truly stand up, and all men are created equal."

"I have a dream! I dream that one day, on the banks of the Ganges, the son of a former Kshatriya can sit down with the son of a Shudra and talk together."

"I have a dream! I dream that one day, four children of different origins will live in a country that is not judged by their caste, but by the quality of their character!"

"This is..."

Listening to this man's words, Karna was completely stunned.

He had never heard such a speech!

All men are created equal! What a beautiful wish!

Karna had never forgotten how much suffering he had endured because of his origin.

"This man!! Is definitely a fellow traveler of mine!"

The man finally finished his speech. However, not everyone agreed with his words. Compared to the few who were awakened, more people cursed the man's "heresy" while hurriedly leaving, afraid of being taken away by the soldiers later.

And among the few who applauded, Karna was the man who applauded the loudest.

"The guards are coming! Run!"

Someone shouted, and the people who were just applauding immediately began to hide everywhere.

And in the chaos, Karna also hurriedly grabbed the man's hand and said:

"Quick, come with me!"

"Wait a minute, I'm not afraid... Hey! Where are you taking me! Don't carry me! Put me down!"

No matter how the man on his shoulder shouted, Karna carried him and hurriedly left this place of right and wrong.

After a long time, when Karna found that no one was chasing them, he breathed a sigh of relief and then gently put the man on his shoulder down, saying: "Are you okay? By the way, my name is Karna."

Listening to Karna's words, the man rolled his eyes at him helplessly, then slowly tidied up the clothes that had been messed up by the escape just now, and said to him:

"My name is Lin Ye."

Listening to Lin Ye's self-introduction, Karna showed a smile and said:

"Hello Lin Ye, your speech just now was great."

Karna didn't stint on praise, but Lin Ye shook his head helplessly and said:

"What's the use of being great? Didn't you see that those people were applauding for me one second, and the next second they all scattered and fled? Counting on them to complete my wish, the possibility is almost 0."

"Not all of them, at least there's still me."

"You??" Lin Ye looked at Karna up and down. "You look like you have some strength, but are you sure you want to fight for my dream? This is something that could cost you your head."

"Of course I'm sure, because this is not just your dream, it's also mine."

Karna once didn't know what the meaning of his existence was. He was an orphan, picked up by his foster parents, a kind couple of carriage drivers.

So his wish when he was a child was to get ahead when he grew up to help his parents get rid of their lowly caste. But now he didn't think so. Instead of letting his parents get rid of their lowly caste, it's better to directly achieve equality for all!

This is what he should have been doing after working so hard for so long!

Hearing Karna say this, Lin Ye nodded silently. He patted Karna on the shoulder and said with satisfaction:

"Since you've said so, then from now on, you will follow me and fight for our ideals together!"

Looking at this scene, Karna also showed a smile.

To meet such a like-minded person as soon as I came down the mountain, I am really lucky.

Day 2: You and Lin Ye traveled together. Lin Ye gave you a copy of "How the Steel Was Tempered." Although you don't like reading that much, you still accepted it gladly.

Day 3: You read "How the Steel Was Tempered." Although you don't understand many things, you are greatly shocked.

Day 4: You and Lin Ye arrived in Hastinapur. Originally, you were going to invite Lin Ye to your house to sit for a while, but as soon as you entered the city, you heard that today, the 105 princes of the Kshatriyas were going to have a competition in Hastinapur, so you and Lin Ye decided to go there to watch the fun first...

105 princes, plus three princesses, could go to Liangshan to start an uprising.

Among these 105 princes, five were the Pandava brothers mentioned earlier, and the other 100 were the one hundred sons of the current king, Dhritarashtra!

Back then, Dhritarashtra's wife Gandhari was pregnant, but she didn't give birth for a long time. Until two years later, she gave birth to her child in an accident... a large ball of meat.

At that time, everyone thought the queen had given birth to a monster! But fortunately, Gandhari's father-in-law, the sage Vyasa, arrived in time. He used a sword to divide the ball of meat into 101 pieces and put them in 101 bottles until these 101 pieces of meat each turned into normal babies. Among them, 100 were the sons of Dhritarashtra, and the last one was a little princess.

On the drill ground, the princes hadn't arrived yet, and the audience waiting to watch the fun discussed impatiently:

"Did you hear? Today, the sons of Dhritarashtra and the sons of Pandu are going to have a throne election!"

"Ah? Isn't the king Dhritarashtra? Can the throne be elected?"

"Of course. After all, Dhritarashtra's throne isn't legitimate either. This country should have belonged to Pandu!"

"That's right, that's right. Look at those one hundred sons of Dhritarashtra, what kind of things are they? A while ago, a fisherman accidentally provoked them and was almost beaten to death by them!"

"Who says it isn't! Compared to the sons of Dhritarashtra, I support the five princes of the Pandu family more."

Listening to these people's discussions, Karna also looked at Lin Ye beside him curiously and asked:

"Lin Ye, who do you support?"

"Me?" Lin Ye thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "I don't support anyone. No matter who inherits the throne, to the people of this country, it's just changing a ruler. So Karna, you just need to remember one thing: it is the people who empower the managers, not the rulers who use power to control the people. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it."
