I would rather betray the gods

Why green peppers, not Qingyuan peppers?

Yuebai stammered, unable to speak, and could only look at the pomelo and point at the green pepper.

"So, Green Pepper, hurry up and go up there, there are so many people waiting."

Yuzi's words had a double meaning; they were both answering Yuebai's question and urging Qingjiao to stop staring blankly.

"But I wasn't prepared at all."

Judging from his expression, Green Pepper was only surprised that he could lift the [Unbound Heavenly Book], since he had tried before and couldn't do it at all.

As for the final moment when he was asked to replace Qingyuan on the Dragon Platform, his eyes showed little emotion.

Like an anchor point in destiny, everyone actually knows what they are waiting for.

"What are you preparing for? You're preparing by writing down your thoughts on your phone every day. Go ahead and say what you want to say out loud."

A true friend is someone who understands what you're doing, because even if you don't say anything, they'll silently see everything. While both were staring blankly at their phones, Yuzu knew long ago that he was different from her and offered encouragement.

With such a friend encouraging him, what was there to worry about? The young man let go of his mental burden and turned to step onto the dragon platform.

As he walked up the steps, the wind blowing in his face from the sea seemed to carry with it every memory of his past, a mix of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

From being ignorant and clueless to witnessing all aspects of life; from being at a loss to feeling a sense of mission.

No matter how he walked the path of life, it was always muddy. As he walked, he became a middle-aged man with black hair.

He had envied others and doubted himself, but after countless struggles, he found that he was still the same young man who longed for the sun to shine on the earth!

The wind stung his eyes, and a tear silently slid down his cheek. All the regrets and cries no longer mattered.

At the top of the Dragon Platform.

Looking down at the sea of ​​heads below, he couldn't help but feel nervous, even though he was used to holding his breath and being reserved.

He took several deep breaths to calm himself down, and then uttered the golden quote that would later shape the gears of his thinking.

The world shouldn't be like this; it shouldn't develop in a way that only a select few excel at.

That's it, that's all.

After saying that, he unconsciously kneaded the surface of the scroll while looking down.

At first, people were puzzled and fell silent.

Gradually, people realized that he really had no next line.

Hmm... Yuzu felt like a crow was flying overhead, leaving a trail of black lines.

He was the one who pushed the person up, and at the crucial moment, he fired such a dud that almost no one could understand, putting him under immense pressure.

Fortunately, a busybody broke the awkward situation.

Someone raised their voice in protest, "The prophecy says that person will lead the world towards a unified world, but you're saying there are different interpretations. Isn't that the opposite?"

[Great harmony is not about being the same. If everyone were exactly the same, what would be the difference between them and robots on an assembly line? Humans can be like colorful flowers, all eventually blooming. That's what true harmony is—sameness in diversity.]

Green Pepper's reply almost came out of his mouth.

Inspiration may strike in an instant, but wisdom is forged through countless trials within the heart.

"There's no shortage of people in every industry these days, so what you're saying is basically meaningless!"

Another person raised a question.

Moreover, this question resonated with many people, and the scene was immediately filled with sighs and shouts.

I was nervous because I had never been the center of attention for so many people before. So many people were arguing with me, but they couldn't shake my heart even a little bit.

Because in this world, every single moment, the same things you're questioning are happening, and no one thinks about why things have to be this way, no one thinks about whether they could be different. It pierces my heart to see it!

With these thoughts in mind, Green Pepper smiled faintly and replied:

Wealth is not money; money is merely the manifestation of wealth.

When humanity confuses wealth with money, it's destined to fail. What use are numerous industries under such a flaw? Inside and outside the fence, all are worldly beasts of burden, including those clay statues standing in temples for worship—that's all.

Good heavens! This person is acting like a mad dog, daring to disrespect even gods and Buddhas!

A commotion broke out in the crowd.

"The prophecy said that person would wear a four-ounce cashmere hat. Where's your hat?"

He was just an unknown nobody, and no one respected him. Some people even brought up the prophecy.

Hey, hey, hey, you all applauded what the previous performers said, but why do you all seem to be clapping when it comes to him? You just can't stand it.

Yuzu sensed something was wrong and rushed onto the stage, grabbed a microphone, and said, "What is prophecy? Prophecy is just a light touch, a fleeting hint. It's people who are too worldly and over-interpret things. After arguing about whether someone is wearing a hat, are you going to argue about whether that person is yourself?"

"Then explain it to us, let us all hear it!"

Last night, the volunteer who had been humiliated stood on a high place and confronted the humiliator head-on.

From this moment on, the volunteers represented the opposing voices, thus predicting that the Yuzu side would be made things difficult at every turn.

The pomelo refused to budge an inch.

Yuzu: The four-ounce cashmere hat describes the hairstyle of contemporary people. The ancients said, "Our bodies, hair and skin are given to us by our parents." How could they believe that modern people do not grow their hair long? If they did not believe, how could they agree with the rationality of the prophecy? If they did not agree, how could they pass it on by word of mouth? This is the ingenious wisdom of the person who wrote the prophecy.

Volunteer: From then on, a white ox rode in the human world. In modern times, if there are no oxen, one can only ride an electric scooter. Does he have a white electric scooter or something?

Yuzu: As mentioned above, how did the ancients understand modern transportation? Did the person who wrote the prophecy intend to dedicate a whole page to describing in detail what various modern means of transportation look like?

It's a clever and vivid metaphor, but you can't exactly "drive a white ox," nor can you "rev the engine of an ox," right? There's no electric car, but the person on stage does have a white car.

Volunteer: Two wings and four legs?

Pomelo: With two wings and four legs, it moves like a rabbit.

The ancients described it so vividly! Imagine a rabbit running at top speed, its two big ears pressed tightly against its body as it skims the ground, as if it has wings and is flying close to the ground. So this is an allusion to that person's zodiac animal, the rabbit.

After asking so many questions, here's another explanation: "A jade rabbit descends from the sky in the fire" refers to that person's zodiac sign. The person on stage is a rabbit, born in the year of the Fire of the Furnace!

Volunteer: Hehe, it doesn't match up, does it? "At that time, a wooden rabbit came along." "Only when one encounters a wooden rabbit can one live a long life." How so? Here it refers to that person being a wood element person, not a fire element person.

Yuzu: Did the person who wrote the prophecy tell you that the person's fate was wood?

It's not that the person interpreting it has misunderstood and forced a connection to the prophecy.

Pepper, tell them loudly what month your birthday is.

Green pepper: February in the lunar calendar.

Pomelo: February is also called Mao month, which belongs to the wood element in the Five Elements theory, hence the name Wood Rabbit.

Therefore, this prophecy was quite ingenious. While others made feints, he went straight for the heart of the matter, openly telling the world that the person was a rabbit born in February.

This is also the ingenuity of prophecy; it blends truth and falsehood, revealing the secrets of heaven without revealing them.

...

"Legend has it that every holy king possesses something extraordinary, like our Mr. Li, who has seven moles on his feet, signifying 'stepping on seven stars.' What about yours?"

The volunteers realized they couldn't refute him with prophecy, so they changed tactics.

This is still the best, this is still the best!

"A strange person with unusual appearance," everyone looked at Li Datou.

Li Datou clasped his hands in a fist and smiled, outwardly appearing indifferent, but secretly he was secretly pleased.

Tsk tsk tsk~ They're practically talking about air.

Yuzu was so glad she'd seen that day that Green Pepper had big feet with the same long second toe as her, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to handle this game. "Brother Pepper, take off your socks and let them see the sole of your left foot!"

Green Pepper didn't want to dwell on these things, but the atmosphere had already reached a point where she had no choice but to do as she was told, so she took off her socks and pointed the soles of her feet at the drone camera.

The next moment, the image of the soles of his feet was displayed in real time on the screen at the host's desk.

On the sole of his foot, there was a white wart and a black mole, hanging like the sun and moon in the sky.

At this moment, Yuzu told everyone:

This is called the harmony of Yin and Yang, standing firmly on the earth!

Don't even mention your seven stars, even if you have seven hundred stars, you are still a thing in this universe.
