Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

【We are all dogs】

Hong Shi went to the upper world. After a day of overtime work, a man named Lu Cangyuan suddenly felt an impulse in his heart.

He wanted to tear up all the work boards and manuscripts in his hands inch by inch in front of the leader, then stuff them into the other person's ears, nostrils and mouth, and then light a fire to burn that poker face. Unrecognizable.

He wanted to fuck, so badly. As early as twenty-five years ago when he first came to this department, he felt that his leader, who had never evaluated him, was targeting him.

This is indeed the case.

In the first few years, he thought that he really wasn't good enough, but after that, Lu Cangyuan, who tried his best to make himself perfect, realized that he was simply not liked by his boss.

Fair and impartial, of course. The Hongshi Upper Realm is always fair and just. It is impossible for anyone to suppress any situation at will, but the rules are always implemented by people, and they can always find loopholes.

In other words, there is no true fairness and justice in this world.

After all, there are only so many places for evaluation, and no one can be perfect. Just think of the aspects where Lu Cangyuan did not do well enough and others did better as the focus of inspection, then anyone can get an 'excellent' one. Evaluation, salary increase subsidy, and even upgraded performance, but Lu Cangyuan could only regret losing.

And the reason for all this, in Lu Cangyuan's opinion, was simply that he had squeezed out the leader's child's place when he was admitted to the upper-level academy... It was old-fashioned, but it was indeed the source of most of the hostility.

It's not that Lu Cangyuan has never received an excellent award. After all, even a fool knows how to avoid suspicion, not to mention that this is enough.

Evaluation is an indicator of a company's employees' spiritual energy, and it is also one of the most important indicators. The spiritual energy that men can obtain is one-tenth of that of ordinary colleagues.

Twenty-five years have passed, and his salary and accomplishments are far less than those of his friends at the same time, and there is no possibility of promotion. Even though his talent is far beyond that of his mediocre peers and far beyond those of this large department. people.

But he couldn't get the spiritual energy, so he had to bow to everyone.

All of this was thanks to the leader who had held a grudge for God knows how long and had probably made suppressing him a habit.

Lu Cangyuan really wanted to attack that leader and devour him alive. Some people might think that such an idea was too cruel, but that was the despair of not seeing the light of day for twenty-five years, and he could only waste time in place. He couldn't even Report the other party's abuse of power, because in Hongshi Upper Realm, everyone does a good job. Everyone abides by the law, abides by the rules and regulations, and completes their work seriously.

There is no decisive gap between him and others, so how could he arrogantly think that the fact that he did not get an "excellent" was the result of pressure from his immediate boss?

Maybe, it's really just that he didn't do well enough.

【I am a dog, a smart dog】

Therefore, impulse is just impulse. Lu Cangyuan packed his things silently, without speaking to his boss or colleagues around him. He caught a flash of light at the door of the company and returned home.

No one knew what Lu Cangyuan was thinking, and no one knew that Lu Cangyuan had managed to suppress the madness in his heart. They just felt that Lu Cangyuan was as silent as ever, a good man with a gentle temper and some bad luck.

A smart dog knows when to bark and when to bite. Now is not the time to bite, and perhaps it will never be the time to bite in the future.

Lu Cangyuan felt that he was extraordinarily good at patience. If he were not good at it, he would have gone crazy. After all, not everyone can accept the fact that he is a dog. In other words, most people are so stupid that they do not even realize that they are dogs.

They think that they are human beings, just like most ordinary people, and they think that they have freedom.

Including his family, friends, wife and children, among all the people Lu Cangyuan knew, he was the only one who realized that he was just a dog that could not bite, and even yelling would be forbidden.

His owner defined an area of ​​action for him, and he was told, 'You can only go here, not beyond', and only the stupidest dogs would cross the boundaries set by their owners and be punished.

Lu Cangyuan is very smart, so he will never commit a crime or violate any precepts.

He returned home in silence, and his wife happened to come home from get off work and brought back her son who looked angry and his daughter who looked distraught.

"I'm back, my dear..." Lu Cangyuan wanted to say hello, and he smiled at the children.

"boom!"

But the wife closed the door forcefully, her expression ugly, like a dull storm. The man rationally did not touch the other party's bad luck, but called the children back to their respective rooms.

"Hmm...boring."

But in the end, the child did not give him a good look. The eldest teenage son returned to the room with a frown. His words and deeds were full of rebelliousness and adventurous spirit. This is also the norm at this age. He gave his wife a strict father. He rolled his eyes and closed the door behind him.

"Stop quarreling, Mom and Dad~"

The slightly younger daughter returned to her room with a silly smile. She knew at a glance that she had a date at school. She was happily replaying her romantic memories in her mind. The emotions between her parents could not affect her joy.

And when a man and his wife are alone, what happens is a habitual outburst.

Lu Cangyuan was not taken seriously and his strength was not strong. Even Lu Cangyuan's wife and children know this.

He did graduate from the most elite academy of practitioners. His wife once married Lu Cangyuan for this reason, and she was also angry for this reason. She wanted to marry an elite who was ambitious and wanted to climb up, instead of always showing off. Rotten, a waste who has no ambition at all and will only get by with his children.

——Look at Lao Zhao next door! I was literally married to a bed bug!

When the children were not around, his wife would always criticize Lao Lu sarcastically. She would elaborate on how many male heads of families still did not give up despite the same hard work. After practicing hard, they were recognized by their bosses and were promoted to higher positions. salary story.

She would also tell beautiful stories about those lucky people who suddenly rose to the top and were appreciated by the big shots above, imagining that those people were her feelings.

She hopes that her partner can change himself like in the story, and work with her to change her destiny.

This woman believed the rumors.

And Lu Cangyuan knew that none of this was possible.

Because he is not that kind of person, he cannot flatter other people, nor can he learn how to say nice things to make each other look good.

In the final analysis, Lu Cangyuan is indeed an out-of-place stinker—not liked by his boss, despised by his wife, looked down upon by his son and considered senile, and his daughter never even imagined that she could solve many of the problems she encountered by asking her father.

He is such a man who is suffering from a mid-life crisis. He has no way to get promoted, and his days are like years. Just living is very painful, and he has no hope for the future.

"This shouldn't be the end for me."

Lu Cangyuan thought: "Why do I have to live like this?"

The man is too smart. He should not be a dog who lives by the laws set by others. He could have been unrestrained and do what he wanted - he is not evil, and of course, he cannot be called kind. Lu Cangyuan is just hateful My current life.

He was fifty-five years old, and had just reached the level of cultivation to lead the immortals. His life had just begun, and his mentality should be very young. But in fact, Lu Cangyuan felt that he had spent most of his life, and what was left was nothing more than the past twenty years. Five years of simple repetition.

But it shouldn’t be like this. Lu Cangyuan is actually very smart, and his cultivation talent is also extremely high. He can defeat a group of fellow practitioners to enter the highest extraordinary school. If he could freely absorb spiritual energy, he would have already reached the threshold of the earthly immortal. , and became a member of the immortal gods.

But here's the problem.

The upper realm of Hongshi cannot freely absorb spiritual energy. Everyone needs to persevere in their practice. They must go through various assessments and be recognized and affirmed by the people around them. Only after they are allowed to be recognized by everyone can they leverage the spiritual power between heaven and earth and turn it into something. own strength.

Lu Cangyuan couldn't do it. He doesn't have that likable talent. He may indeed be a good person, but he can't make other people like him.

He tried to be a barking, gentle and lovable dog, but he didn't have soft fur, a loud voice, and he wasn't of the right age. Even if he immediately acted obediently and rubbed his feet, no one would care about that insignificant show of kindness.

Therefore, despite his empty talent, he has never been able to practice to his fullest.

【I am a dog, but I should not be a dog】

Lu Cangyuan hates the order of the entire world - in the Hongshi Upper Realm, only the recognition of others can unlock the spiritual power needed for practice. If it is not recognized by many people and loved by everyone, even if it is extremely talented, it is impossible to become a strong person. Those who are immortals.

All strong people are dedicated to the public good and sincerely perform good deeds for all sentient beings. Naturally, they will not be corrupt, deceive others when dealing with problems, and will not use official language, nor will they resort to fraud or favor one side.

It sounds like there's no problem.

The Hongshi Upper Realm is indeed safer than all the worlds in the surrounding multiverse. People who are not recognized by all living beings will not have power at all. Evil people cannot even commit evil and can only obey the Hongshi Upper Realm. of law.

Therefore, most of the time in Hongshi's Upper Realm, even crime does not exist - all malice has been cut off from its original source.

Because not only does ‘evil’ have no soil to grow, but even ‘dislike’ will be rejected by others.

but……

——Does it mean that to live, a person must be liked by others?

——Does a person have to cater to the eyes of others when he is alive?

——Does a person have to love all sentient beings wholeheartedly while living?

People are not born to please other people.

At least, not just to please other people.

Lu Cangyuan always thought so, and this was the result of his thinking.

It's not that he is unwilling to do good deeds, nor is he unwilling to contribute for his wife, children, and those family members and friends who have taken care of him, but the feeling of being willing and being forced to "contribute" is different. He hates that kind of " Have to do' feeling.

Especially, in the Hongshi Upper Realm, he had only one choice.

Lu Cangyuan's tragedy lies here.

He is so smart that he can realize that even if he hates it, Hongshi's order in the upper world is indeed better for all living beings.

He himself is also a beneficiary of this order - his birth, growth, and even his current stable life despite being hostile to his superiors all depend on those strong men who serve all sentient beings wholeheartedly.

Even if he is a Dragon King, if he accidentally wets a child during rain, he will be punished and his cultivation will be reduced.

And if the day and night wandering gods are not aware of the complaints within their jurisdiction, they may be stripped of their power and removed from their posts for inspection.

When Lu Cangyuan was a child, his life was saved by the God of Sun Travel. When he was learning the magic, he accidentally lit his own clothes on fire. The spiritual fire was difficult to extinguish. It was a God of Sun Travel who arrived at the first time and saved him. He calmed down the frightened and crying man who committed suicide by playing with fire, and comforted the child's fragile heart, preventing Lu Cangyuan from fearing or shadowing the magic.

To this day, the man is still grateful to the god of travel.

Lu Cangyuan knew that this world and this order were beneficial to all ordinary people. He enjoyed the benefits of Hongshi's order and had no reason to resist.

Yes, his leader relied on Hongshi's order to suppress him - but so what? At most, I wasted more than ten years, but without the order of Emperor Hongshi, how could I grow up stably and get the best education opportunity under fair competition?

In this world, at least he can survive.

And if he leaves Hongshi's protection, Lu Cangyuan also knows clearly that with his current skills, he is really just an ant in the void of the multiverse.

What's more, wouldn't there be other powerful Hedao people who broke away from Hongshi's order?

Could it be that Tianfeng’s order and Xuan Renzi’s order were better than Hongshi’s order? Compared with those powerful Hedao men who were obviously not very serious, although Emperor Hongshi was strict, at least he did have true love.

Lu Cangyuan had no way to change the world, no strength to resist the world, no chance to escape from the world.

In this case, he actually has one last option.

That is choosing to accept the world.

But he is too smart and too self-centered to accept such a world.

Lu Cangyuan didn't want to be a dog, he didn't want to have only one choice.

So painful and out of place.

If this world has always been like this, then I am afraid that until Lu Cangyuan dies, he will not be able to do anything great throughout his life. He can only grow old as a depressed man and die in a place that gradually becomes stable and peaceful. Surrounded by his wife and increasingly sensible children.

This may be considered a kind of happiness, and it can also be regarded as a stable peace - at least they are alive and will die naturally, without being affected by the battle of the strong. Their death is as ethereal as a cloud of smoke.

They did not have their souls refined by other strong men, nor did they become strong men who would refine their souls.

If this continues, Lu Cangyuan will not become a person harmful to the world until his death.

But, today.

Just when Emperor Hongshi left the throne, left the Hongshi Upper World Group, and went to the void of the multiverse to fight with other powerful Hedao people.

Spending every day in silence, the humble and weak man suddenly found that he could suddenly absorb a little bit of the free spirit between heaven and earth.

It was really just a little bit - at first, Lu Cangyuan thought it was an illusion, or that he had somehow gained recognition from some people and was rewarded.

But soon, he discovered that he could indeed absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that should be endless, but was closed to him because of Hongshi Dao!

It's just such a trivial loophole, a small flaw that is nothing in theory.

The endless possibilities that are difficult to distinguish between good and bad spread out their roots and begin to take root.

I almost overslept and wrote in a bit of a hurry, ugh...
