Chapter 51: Who is Right and Who is Wrong in the World?

After getting off the soul guide bus, Gu You walked for a while before arriving at the address marked on his phone: the Tiandou Parliament.

The location was quite remote, and no one would have expected such an important place to be so unnoticed.

The entire parliamentary building was only about three or four stories tall, but it occupied a large area. There were almost no people around, and most importantly, there was no one stopping him!

With a strange feeling, Gu You walked inside.

Inside, Gu You gradually realized the building was made of wood! Just simple wood, but it had been crafted into such a masterful structure. The designer was truly talented. There were no supporting columns, no metal materials, and the air was filled with a fresh scent of wood.

It was very empty. If someone were to accidentally wander in, they wouldn't believe that this was the place where the supreme authority of the Tiandou Federation gathered.

This, however, proved one thing: the more dangerous a place, the safer it is. No one paid any attention to this place.

Gu You climbed the stairs, turned the corner... and saw a giant flag fluttering in the wind. It was the flag of the Federation congress members, mainly light blue in color, with two hands intertwined and a table in the middle.

"You've arrived."

Gu You seemed to be guided by some kind of force, arriving in front of a small room. He pushed open the door and saw a familiar face.

Chen Shilin gestured for Gu You to sit down.

The two of them sat silently for a moment, before Chen Shilin broke the silence. "You must be very curious about why I asked you to come here."

Gu You nodded.

Chen Shilin spread his hands and looked up at the ceiling. "To be honest, your progress over the years has been quite remarkable. A level four and a half blacksmith—truly unprecedented! I somewhat regret sending you to Shrek now."

Gu You immediately sensed something wasn't right. It seemed like another huge secret was about to be revealed.

"Back then, you made a promise to me. I sent you to Shrek for further training, but I never expected that you would end up becoming Cold Yaozhu's disciple. Although I was shocked at the time, I thought it wouldn't have much of an impact.

But later, when I received word that you had taken Yun Mingn as your godparents, a bad premonition rose in my heart. After thinking it over, I realized I was too late. When I sent you to Shrek and gave you my business card, I intended for you to serve the Federation once you graduated. But now, your identity has changed. You've become Zhen Hua's disciple, and that worries me. Child, the Federation has never wronged you. May I ask you a question?"

Chen Shilin's eyes were filled with emotion as he looked intently at Gu You.

Gu You froze for a moment, countless thoughts flashing through his mind. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke. "Go ahead…"

"Once you grow up, will you be willing to serve the Federation, to be loyal to the Federation? I think you should understand, the three major forces today: Shrek is fine, but Tang Sect and Spirit Transmission Tower have even gotten involved in selling weapons and collaborating with evil soul masters.

They may think they're keeping their activities under wraps, but they're wrong. If a country can't even manage this, then it's truly on the brink of destruction. Gu You! The Federation has never wronged the people of Douluo, but over the millennia, the interference from the divine realm, the instability of the planes, invasions from powerful enemies, and internal disunity have prevented us from unifying the entire Douluo plane.

Our ambitions are indeed great. We've built a powerful Federation with a prosperous and flourishing economy! Now that the divine realm has retreated, the Federation is strong, and this is the best time for unification. I once checked ancient records, comparing your martial soul with the Purple Emperor's Heaven Destroying Dragon.

But in the end, I found it was wrong—it wasn't it. With your talent and observing your character, I now realize that I cannot hide the truth from you. If you wish, you may agree. If not, I won't stop you…" Chen Shilin's voice shifted from excitement to a heavy silence.

Gu You hurriedly stood up. He didn't know how to respond to this question.

"Chen Ge, this question does seem too big for me, but! As long as the Federation is working toward unity and prosperity, with the spirit of serving the people of Douluo, I will support it. This world isn't made better by any one person.

Sometimes, I think—when you've reached the peak, how many people can truly see you when you look back? Most of them are just thoughts in their minds."

Gu You recalled some knowledge from his previous life, combined with his own observations, and finally came up with words that were somewhat coherent. But what he said was the truth.

As long as the Douluo Federation was moving toward peace, he would support it without hesitation. But if it was an aggressive move, then he wouldn't be able to help. It wasn't that Gu You didn't want to see Douluo Continent unified—after all, it was the trend of Douluo's history. But once war began, many would die.

Some might say that war is just about people dying, and that's true. But Gu You was an anomaly. No one expected the butterfly effect.

What if, at the moment of life and death, there was a ticking "bomb" like the Eternal Kingdom, causing an all-out explosion and sending the world back to the primitive age?

The answer didn't matter that much. For the world, no one is right and no one is wrong because people would only place the injustices on the world…

Chen Shilin stood up excitedly, shaking Gu You's hand. "Child, the future of the Federation belongs to you young people, to the younger generation. The world is developing toward youth. When I get old, I truly hope to see the day when the Federation unites Douluo. It was so frustrating back then! People like me, after understanding certain histories, have become dissatisfied with the Sea God Tang San.

To be honest, the Sun Moon Federation doesn't welcome faith, but their spirit is indeed admirable. They care for the weak, hope for peace, and even warned the former Sun Moon Empire to sign a contract with us stating they couldn't invade other countries for many years. But it seems they've forgotten one thing: there can never be absolute peace in the world. Even a unified kingdom will still collapse because of internal strife.

But the Sun Moon Federation has chosen a bright path—the Sun Moon Federation system. I believe, and everyone believes, it will never split like empires. Unity is inevitable. We will see that day. There will be no more war, the Federation system will prevail, and we will step onto the stars, heading toward farther places…"
