"The Starry Federation is a deformed country born in war. It has been surrounded by enemies since its establishment. For five hundred years, war has been the main theme of this country, and therefore a huge interest group based on war has also been born!"

"Today, hunting monsters and demon clans is still the pillar industry of the Starry Federation. Among the top 500 sects in the Federation, 281 are mainly engaged in hunting monsters and providing military services such as defense monsters. In this way, the upstream and downstream industrial chains extended have almost covered one-fifth of the entire federal population."

"Only one-third of the 'cultivators' of the ruling class of the Federation are combat-type cultivators, and even non-combat cultivators often engage in work related to war."

"For example, the refiners of military magic weapons have a higher status than those of civilian magic weapons, and a literary and artistic cultivator is more keen on creating artworks related to war, and even directly joins the army, uses war songs to boost morale, and becomes a warrior in another sense."

"If you don't understand what 'interest group' means, just think about yourself, Vulture Li Yao."

"Ten years ago, after you killed dozens of blood demon nobles in one breath, I have paid special attention to your information. I just took out all your information and browsed it again and found that you once had the identity of a 'Starry Federation disabled veteran'."

"Since you are a 'federal disabled veteran', you must know how much benefits and rights a veteran can enjoy in Starry Federation."

"Free use of various public facilities and transportation equipment, tax relief for starting businesses and sects, high monthly disability allowances and military allowances... In the federal government, every veteran is an invisible rich man!"

"I'm very proud, very proud, very honorable, right?"

"However, I'd like to know, have you ever thought about a small question when you're a 'federal disabled veteran' and enjoying all this for granted benefits?"

"Money will not fall from the sky. After fighting for five hundred years of war, how many martyrs and disabled veterans have been produced in total? What kind of benefits do you enjoy? Where did this money come from?"

"It's okay for the victims to say that the pensions are all in one lump sum. However, with the progress of the times, biochemistry and psychics have developed rapidly, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for the wounded to die. Even if they die, there is a certain chance that they will be transformed into ghost cultivators, and ghost cultivators also enjoy the same rights as living people!"

"The result is that the disabled veterans and veterans of the Starry Federation are growing more and more expanding, showing a trend of being too big. You have formed a huge interest group, exerting influence everywhere in the parliament, and constantly improving the status of soldiers, asking for more money, more benefits, and more respect!"

"How should the status of soldiers be improved? War. Only war! During peacetime, active-duty soldiers are all a bunch of ****, not to mention disabled veterans!"

"Look, don't think that only our demon clan longs for war. You disabled veterans also long for war. Without war, you are just a piece of shit, a piece of shit that doesn't even have a smell!"

"This is just a small interest group within the federal government."

"There are also those cultivators whose main business is to kill monsters and defend against invasion of demons, those fighting cultivators who have no skills except killing demons and eliminating demons, and those who have invested all the resources of the entire sect into the "war bonds" and the "victory fund". Do you think they really hope that this war will come to an abrupt end?"

"To put it more directly, peace has really come. What are you going to do with so many combat cultivators? Do you go to the circus to perform acrobatics?"

"Vulture Li Yao, you may be the biggest miracle in the five hundred years since the birth of the Starry Federation. It took only ten years to get elevated to such an incredible state. This is also the only reason why I am willing to waste so much time and talk to you."

"However, no matter what level of cultivation you have improved, you are still too young."

"You know nothing about real power, and you know nothing about how the world works!"

"You Starry Federation has been an absolute war machine since its establishment five hundred years ago. It must be lubricated with a large amount of war dividends to operate normally!"

"Five hundred years ago, you destroyed the Eastern Ji Demon Kingdom, plundered a large number of war dividends, and experienced prosperity for just over a hundred years."

"Three hundred years ago, the war dividends were exhausted, so you pointed your finger at the 'Great Wilderness Demon Alliance' in the Great Wilderness, launched seven expeditions, and finally conquered the entire Great Wilderness!"

"The war dividends obtained by 'conquering the Great Wilderness' have maintained the rapid development of the federal government for hundreds of years."

"But at this time, the entire Tianyuan Realm was conquered by you. There was no new demon country or demon city that could squeeze out new war dividends. The interest groups that expanded to the limit in hundreds of years of war could not die on their own."

"So, you are turning your attention to the Blood Demon Realm and preparing to use the internal organs of the Blood Demon Realm to lubricate the gears and tracks of this war machine."

Li Yao laughed furiously: "Senior Jin, I didn't expect you to be so unconfused! Even if the Starry Fairy is really a war machine, it was forced by the demon clan? Are the East Ji Demon Kingdom and the Great Wilderness Demon Alliance all of them all kind and ruthless? Before we eliminate them, they didn't even think about completely eliminating us!"

"In the past century, aren't it also the sea of ​​insects and beast tides in your blood demon world, which invades the Tianyuan Realm first? Are you only allowed to invade and not let us fight back!"

Jin Tuyi said calmly: "I don't want to discuss right or wrong. I just want to talk to you, a special cultivator, about the facts. Who was the invader and the defender of the East Ji Demon Kingdom and the Starry Glory Federation back then? It has no meaning at all."

"The fact is, no matter how innocent the Starry Federation was at the beginning, it had been nourished by blood and corpses in two hundred years of wars, becoming a terrible ferocious beast!"

"That's right, in the past century, especially in recent decades, the Blood Demon Realm has indeed launched countless tentative attacks against the Tianyuan Realm, even large-scale attacks such as the "Battle of Dawn". If you want to say "invasion", I admit it."

"But do you know when was the first 'war bond' issued by Starry Federation for the Blood Demon World?"

"Tell you, one hundred and forty-two years ago!"

"Why? It's very simple!"

"One hundred and seventy years ago, the war between the Starry Federation against the 'Great Wilderness Demon Alliance' had just ended and finally conquered the entire Great Wilderness."

"This protracted war greatly consumed the national strength of the federal government and put the government's finances on the verge of collapse."

"Developing a large wasteland with vast land and sparsely populated and harsh environments requires a lot of capital investment, and the federal government cannot even take out a copper coin!"

"In order to raise funds, the federal government had to issue a new construction bond and exchange various resource rights and interests of Dahuang to obtain the support of major sects."

"But no sect wants to."

"Reason? Because looking around, the entire Tianyuan Realm has been conquered! In the foreseeable future, peace and development will become the mainstream of the Tianyuan Realm. The combat-type cultivators in the federal army and major sects will inevitably decline greatly."

"This is something that those interest groups born with war are absolutely unacceptable!"

"So, they took advantage of the extreme lack of funds from the federal government and were on the verge of collapse, and forced the federal government to issue new war bonds."

"Oh, it's probably not very accurate to say 'force'. In fact, in the Starry Federation, which had just won a great victory and conquered the great wilderness, the combat-type cultivators and the federal army were at its peak and were enthusiastically supported by all the people. They controlled the entire parliament, and they were the federal government!"

"In short, this federal government has issued new bundled bonds, which will tie the development bonds against the Great Wilderness and war bonds against the Blood Demon World, and it is said that 'In order to protect the safety of the Great Wilderness, it is necessary to launch a preemptive strike on the Blood Demon World, the nest of the demon clan, the blood Demon World," said the author.

"All cultivators and sects who purchase bonds can obtain large areas of spiritual veins, land and... demon slaves after conquering the blood demon world!"

"Maybe at the beginning, this is just a stopgap solution for soldiers and cultivators to consolidate their status. They may not really want to attack the Blood Demon Realm."

"But once the war bonds are issued, they awaken the ferocious beast that just fell asleep, and they can't help it."

"The cultivators and sects who bought bonds have become the most fanatical supporters of the war. You should know that there are many old Nascent Soul monsters among these people, and they have extremely strong influence and even control in the parliament!"

"So, a war bond was issued to build a great desert, and in order to fulfill this war bond, it was necessary to conquer the blood demon world."

"In order to conquer the blood demon world, we must raise more funds, mobilize more resources, and maintain a larger army. We have to issue the second, third, and fourth bonds..."

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Jin Tuyi's mouth, but there was a vague sorrow in his deep eyes. "At that time, the Starry Sky Federation knew nothing about the Blood Demon Realm. You should measure us by the level of the "East Ji Demon Kingdom" and the "Great Wilderness Demon Alliance". I thought that the Blood Demon Realm was at most an enhanced version of the Great Wilderness and could be conquered."

"This crazy behavior came to an end until you fully understand the strength of the Blood Demon World and know that you are facing such a terrible opponent."

“It’s too late.”

"The temporary suspension of the invasion plan of the Blood Demon Realm triggered the largest economic crisis of the Starry Glory Federation 107 years ago, resulting in the collapse of fifty-five sects, and even two old Nascent Soul monsters committed suicide."
