Chapter 83: Starry Sea

"Under the vast heaven, is there any land that is not the King's!"

"This world has been divided for so long; it is time for it to be unified!"

Ye Cang's words left the old man unable to recover for a long time.

Unification of the world.

This dream, how could it not be his own dream as well!

But implementing it is truly too difficult, far too difficult.

As things stand, the five permanent members stand like a tripod, mutually checking one another; who would dare to break this balance?

Even though Huaxia now has a genius like Ye Cang who can push an era forward all on his own, wanting to achieve the unification of the world is still quite unlikely.

Fundamentally speaking...

Ye Cang looked at the old man who had been silent for a long time, assuming the old man opposed his idea and was currently organizing his words to persuade him to give up.

To keep the old man from opposing him, Ye Cang added: "Don't be in such a hurry to oppose me; as far as the current situation goes, this is absolutely the best method!"

"Right now, the Taotie are eyeing Earth covetously, yet Earth itself is not even unified internally; how can we win this interstellar war?"

"Furthermore, the unification of the world was the dream of our ancestor, the First Emperor. As his descendants, we should fulfill it in both reason and sentiment. We cannot be like Jiangdong Jerry, only wanting to hold onto our existing foundation."

Ye Cang's mention of Jiangdong Jerry brought the old man back to his senses.

Looking at Ye Cang before him, the old man couldn't help but rap Ye Cang on the head.

"Still Jiangdong Jerry; why don't you mention that when Sun Jian was around, he was the Jiangdong Tiger? There was no such thing as a Jerry."

"The unification of the world—how could I, this old man, not want that too!"

As he spoke, the old man sighed.

"However, this dream is too difficult. Even with the Luan Bird, it is very hard to achieve."

The old man's words left Ye Cang feeling puzzled.

What is so difficult about this?

With the Luan Bird and an army of Super Soldiers pressing down on the border, whether it's the Hate Alliance or Ultraman, they would all have to fall. He really didn't understand what was so difficult.

Seeing Ye Cang's puzzled gaze, the old man did not explain it to him.

Instead, he asked a somewhat strange question.

"Little Cang, since you can say the words 'Jiangdong Jerry,' you must have read the Three Kingdoms. Since you've read the Three Kingdoms, I must test you."

Although puzzled as to why the old man wanted to test him on the Three Kingdoms, Ye Cang nodded.

"Go ahead and test me; if I can answer, I certainly will!"

"Very well, I ask you: back then, why did Liu Bei, who coveted the land of Xichuan, delay attacking it for so long, only officially launching the attack after Pang Tong died at Falling Phoenix Slope?" the old man asked.

Upon hearing this question, Ye Cang answered without even thinking: "Of course it was because Liu Bei lacked a righteous cause, so he didn't attack Xichuan."

"And after Pang Tong died..."

When he reached this point, Ye Cang understood the old man's meaning.

"Ah? You mean, lacking a righteous cause?!" Ye Cang's tone was filled with surprise.

"This, is having a righteous cause really that important?"

"Besides, the Eagle is thinking of snatching our things; if we really take action, no matter how you look at it, it isn't lacking a righteous cause!"

"Little Cang, you are still young." The old man shook his head with a smile. "It's normal that you don't understand. Today, I, this old man, will explain it to you properly!"

Having said that, the old man stood up and began to pace around the office.

As he walked, he said: "Whether in ancient times or today, having a righteous cause is extremely important. Of course, this only applies to our Earth; those aliens are an exception."

"After all, their level of technology and lifespans are different; there's nothing to be said about them."

Ye Cang nodded, indicating he understood.

The old man continued: "Look, Liu Bei in the Three Kingdoms—from the moment he raised his army, it was to restore the Han Dynasty! And then there's Cao Boss; he controlled Emperor Xian of Han and raised an army to campaign everywhere. Did anyone say he was wrong?"

"No! Because he was acting for the imperial court! Both of these men had a righteous cause!"

"These two might be too far back; let's take the Eagle as an example. There are many living examples over there in the Eagle's land, but I won't list them; you can go look for yourself."

When he reached this point, the old man paused.

"You see, even the Eagle needs a righteous cause, let alone us?"

"Counterattacking and invading are two different things!"

"Little Cang, believe me, if you say you want to take action now, someone will oppose you the very next moment. Du Kaao would be the first to oppose you, and even if I supported you, it would be useless!"

"Furthermore, I can guarantee that if you want to take action now, the Big Bear, who has been maintaining a wait-and-see attitude, would definitely be the first to jump out and stop us."

After the old man finished speaking, he returned to his seat.

He picked up his water cup and took a few sips.

"I've said so much; do you understand now, Little Cang?"

"If we lack a righteous cause, the enemy we face is the entire Earth, but with a righteous cause, we only face the Eagle and his few lackeys."

After listening to the old man's words, Ye Cang fell into silence.

He really hadn't thought about so much.

No wonder...

Ye Cang sat there, and it was only after a long while that he let out a long breath.

"I understand. Thank you for telling me these things."

The old man waved his hand.

"There's no need for thanks; it's just saying a few extra words."

"However, having said that, as far as the current situation goes, we can only endure for now—endure until the opportunity arises, then strike decisively with a thunderous blow! Let them never be able to rise again!"

Endure for now? And then look for an opportunity.

According to the old man, this is indeed the best method for the time being.

But where is this opportunity...

Wait...

He thought of it himself.

Morgana, isn't she the best opportunity?

Moreover, after Holy Keisha descends upon Earth, the Taotie will launch a full-scale invasion, and Morgana will also be wantonly developing her own Demon soldiers abroad.

Taking action at that time would not be acting without a just cause, but rather acting with a just cause!

As for what that cause is, it is naturally the name of clearing out the Taotie and Demons, and saving the suffering people!

This is a name of great righteousness! A name of integrity!

And by that time, the Four Symbols Firmament will have already risen, he will have resolved almost all matters large and small, and there will be even more Super Soldiers.

Favorable timing, geographical advantage, and unity of the people!

All three are on his side!

Unifying the world under one banner is no dream!

Having figured it out, Ye Cang nodded and agreed with the old man's words.

"You are right, patience is indeed the best method for now, so I shall endure for a while!"

Hearing Ye Cang say this, the old man was a tiny bit surprised.

He was surprised that Ye Cang was actually so willing to listen to advice.

He had thought he would still need to persuade him further, but as it turned out...

Thinking of this, the old man looked at Ye Cang with increasing satisfaction.

"Little Cang, I thought you would be angry, I didn't expect you to agree so calmly," the old man said.

After hearing this, Ye Cang replied: "There is nothing to be angry about, you are right, patience is necessary."

"Moreover, regarding the matter of having a just cause, I already have an idea; I believe that in at most half a year or so, we will be able to act with a just cause!"

"Oh? How so?" The old man became interested in Ye Cang's words.
