Chapter 328 Topic
Yongyi continued, “Since then, I have stopped being obsessed with making and fixing rules and started looking for and training qualified successors, because only people can cope with future changes and challenges and do things that rules cannot do.

“And what I want is not a successor. If that were the case, I would be no different from those ancient emperors.

“I hope to explore a path that can standardize the production of excellent leaders, and then complement them with excellent systems to achieve my ultimate dream.

“I spent a lot of time studying the great men in history, trying to extract the similarities between them and find the common denominator, but I underestimated how difficult it would be.

"If you have read my biography, you should know that I was a sociologist before I became a prophet. My main research object is human group behavior, but individuals are more uncontrollable than groups.

Yongyi said so much in one breath, which consumed a lot of his energy. He looked very tired and could barely stand steadily, so he pointed to a chair not far away.

"If you don't mind, I'd like to sit down and talk."

"As you wish." Malu said.

"Thank you." Yong Yi walked tremblingly to the chair and sat down. These few short steps almost exhausted all his strength.

He gasped for breath in the chair, and after half a minute he spoke again, "The detector in the hibernation chamber told me that many of my organs are on the verge of failure...

"I don't have much time left, so I'll try to be brief. Where were we talking about before?"

“You want to standardize the training of successors to cope with future changes.”

"Yes, yes, that's it." The old man coughed twice, "I saw the armor you were wearing. You are a knight of the Holy Knights, and a master, so you should also know about the power struggle of the Holy Knights during this period.

"Whether it's Martin or Levi, they are undoubtedly excellent people with smart brains, firm beliefs and benevolent hearts, at least that's how they were when I found them.

"But when they are in high positions, without exception, they forget their mission and waste most of their energy and precious qualities on continuing to fight for power and profit. They turn a blind eye to the injustice before their eyes.

"For so long, I have been expecting someone from the higher-ups of the cult to stand up, speak for those poor enslaved witches, and use their power to correct this obvious mistake.

"But no one did so. They had countless excuses to convince themselves that witches were too dangerous, that creatures like red dragons had been born before, that they should be treated like weapons for the sake of the stability of the Temple City, that the Ring of Order must not be removed, and so on...

“In the end, even they believed it themselves, so I had to give up on them and turn my attention to other people.

“Shrike is another test subject that interests me very much. She comes from a distinguished family and is the youngest daughter of the current Pope. However, I had someone inject magic into her and give her the identity of a witch.

"As expected, her father chose to exile her for the sake of his political career and abandoned her in the wilderness when she was still an infant. I sent someone to rescue her.

“I also arranged a teacher for her to teach her and guide other fallen witches to unite under her. Even the equipment and supplies she received were given to her by me.

"I saw her as the link between humans and witches. She was born in misery and suffered oppression and slavery. Because of this, she was more likely to sympathize with those who were at the bottom like her and knew the importance of equality. "Such a person is simply a natural leader... That's what I thought at the time, but she ended up letting herself indulge in hatred and destroyed the world with the gift I gave her to save the witches."

"Gift, oh, do you mean the staff?" Malu said.

"That's right," Yongyi did not hide it, "The so-called holy stone is actually a machine wrapped in stone. It can generate a special magnetic field to shield the perception of activated plants."

"I will give the control of this machine to Shrike, so that she can have the capital to compete with the church and force both parties to sit down and negotiate properly."

Malu whistled, "It seems your selection mechanism is not very useful."

Yongyi did not deny it, "My experiment failed, but if I could do it again, I would still do it. Over the past two hundred years, I have witnessed the growing differences and disputes between humans and witches.

"At the beginning, I might have been behind the scenes fanning the flames, but the development of things has far exceeded my expectations and control, including the church's research and development of the Ring of Order. That was not my idea. Their vigilance and hatred towards each other reached a peak, even exceeding the real threats outside the wall.

"When I realized that my time was running out, I placed my last hope on the child, hoping that her strength would heal the rift between the two sides.

"But as you can see, she brought ultimate destruction to everyone.

“So, can you understand why I want to do this experiment to find the answer?

"This is not just about us, but also about other universes and races in other dimensions. If we can't find a way to unite everyone, everything that happens here will happen somewhere else sooner or later."

Malu has been observing Yongyi. During the not-so-long time that he and Yongyi have been in contact, Yongyi has always behaved very sincerely.

Regardless of whether what he said was right or wrong, or how extreme his behavior was, at least he was one of the few people in this city who did not care about himself or power, and was completely busy worrying about the future of witches and humans.

No wonder the man in the pointed hat thought he was a good friend and felt that they had met too late.

Malu then looked around again and found that Yongyi had basically moved the laboratory in the pointed hat to the giant tower intact.

There are no entertainment facilities here. According to Yongyi, he has never gone downstairs since he moved in here.

He never got married and had no children. As the ultimate boss, he didn't even have a secretary and focused entirely on experiments.

Then he almost destroyed a planet, and before he died he was still muttering about his unfinished project.
