Cavins came very suddenly and left even more suddenly.
I was about to take action, but he left without hesitation and said nothing.
"Not now."
Although I know that the final result of the exchange is this, there are still some words that make people feel uncomfortable if they are not explained clearly.
Perhaps, this is the reason why Cavins still appears in front of me even though he has already anticipated my decision.
If you don’t try, you will never be satisfied.
I sigh a little and feel a little sad, but there is no possibility of regret.
I can understand Cavins's thinking, because, in a sense, it is this closed world that has caused countless misfortunes.
The two goddesses were afraid of the powerful invaders from other dimensions and longed for themselves and the tribe they created to become powerful. However, they had disagreements about what "power" meant, which eventually turned into a holy war.
Jihad, in theory, is impossible to achieve a result.
Because neither Chaos nor Order can completely eliminate the other. Even if one is really crushed and eliminated, as time goes by, a new Order/Chaos will appear again.
In a sense, the sacrifice is not without value. Although the route is very tortuous, the power of the entire plane is improving.
Although ancient races, ancient races, and ancient gods sound very cool, their methods of using power are quite primitive and rough, their weapons and equipment are also very primitive, and the concepts they possess seem old-fashioned and superficial.
Those old guys who can keep pace with the times are certainly great, but more often than not, they are left behind by the times unknowingly and become antiques who shed tears of the times.
You can catch a lot of these guys in the abyss, but despite their illustrious reputation, if you really fight them, they may not be able to beat a boy who is hundreds of years old.
In the past, angels, giants, and dragons all relied on their excellent bodies to fight, and logs and stones could be used as weapons.
Now, not to mention the high-end equipment that is armed to the teeth, their magic and martial arts have been passed down for countless generations, and their various spells and stunts are countless. In their eyes, the straight and straight attack methods of the ancient species are like rogue bastards.
As childish and ridiculous as a fist.
It's not that the ancient dragons who lived in the age of gods and demons were so powerful that they were invincible, but that the powerful dragons in the past were able to transcend history and live to be called ancient dragons, and they would naturally be polished by the years to an incredible level.
Ancient artifact? Let’s check first to see if it’s rusty.
Ancient warrior? How is your waist? Can you still dance?
Cough. I'm going too far. Although some people always like to say that everything was fine in the past, in my opinion, the entire era has always been progressive. The four major elemental magics in the Elf Empire period have developed to the present. There are already hundreds or thousands of them.
Branching out, leaving the legendary powerful great mage behind today, I'm afraid it would take thirty years to make up for it.
"Times will always progress."
This is what I have always firmly believed. Inheritance is a fictitious thing to say, but as long as words and history exist, the whole world will naturally move forward. Blind sublimity is unnecessary and even more stupid.
But let alone the mortal race, even the two goddesses themselves don’t know if this progress is enough.
It's like a cage. No matter how well the beast inside fights, you don't know if you can beat the beast outside... This metaphor seems a bit inappropriate. Then, just like the candidates before the college entrance examination, until the day of the examination,
I never know if I have prepared enough.
And once this cage is opened, then naturally there is no need for such periodic wars.
But I know that what Cavins hopes for is not the cessation of the war...
What he longs for is the opportunity for evolution and the time hand that has brought this world to a standstill to start again.
"A time-limited race war? Are you kidding me?"
"Maintaining the balance of reincarnation? What does it have to do with me?"
"It's fun to spin around in a circle over and over again?"
As long as that door is opened, the entire Ashe world will naturally welcome the baptism of the outside world.
At that time, it was only survival of the fittest. Those who survived were the strong, and those who died were the unlucky ones and the weak.
I can understand that long-term pain is not as good as short-term pain. It is stupid to be closed-door to the country, but understanding definitely does not mean agreement.
Historically, seclusion has paid a heavy price. When the country's door is finally knocked open, the invaders will come with new gadgets that you have never seen before and easily confuse your face.
"If you fall behind, you will be beaten" is not an empty phrase, but an experience and lesson filled with blood and tears.
but…….
"There is an essential difference between Ashe and the seclusion of the human country. What if the people outside are not humans of the same race at all, but a group of ferocious cannibal demons? Their purpose is not to enslave and conquer, but to create a more complete race.
Extinction?"
Yes, no one knows what is out there that has frightened the two goddesses for so many years, and the faithful restoration of the plane invaders in "history" makes the situation not optimistic.
In "History", both goddesses are resurrected, but they still have no meaning.
To take a step back, even if Ashe finally survived the baptism of alien creatures and achieved the so-called evolution, how much more could she survive?
Ten percent? Five percent? I can't evaluate it. If the invaders were as powerful as in "history" and there were really 10% survivors, they would be happy.
Some people may say, "This is a necessary sacrifice", "This is cannon fodder for the advancement of history", "There are always people who cannot keep up with the times", but I have to say, I am afraid it is the victim and not your sarcastic remarks.
Who should be eliminated? Who should be sacrificed? Who finally lived in this world, but died because of someone else's words?
Can anyone make such a heavy choice?
Taking a step back, if the battle damage rate reaches more than 90%, who is sure to survive? Then, even if the so-called evolution is finally realized, what is the point?
Perhaps, in the end, there really is a powerful Ashe country, all races coexist peacefully, the power of magic can transform life, civilization and art have become the objects of pursuit by the world, but...
"Does that make sense? In this era, would the dead people who were 'sacrificed' be happy?"
With great difficulty, I finally saw the light that would end everything. How could I let this happen?
Am I wrong in making such a decision?
I was wrong. I hindered the development of history. Maybe in hundreds or thousands of years, new races will bring about new "holy wars".
Is Cavins wrong for being so willful?
It's wrong, he simply doesn't care about other mortals, and countless people will die as a result.
Am I right in making this decision?
Of course I am right. The entire plane has finally developed to this level. How could it take such a big risk and exchange countless lives for the so-called opportunity for evolution and progress?
Is Cavins right to be so self-willed?
Of course it is correct, it is irrefutable, the two goddesses are idiots, and I am a coward who dare not move forward after seeing the sacrifice. Only by opening that door can the time that Ashe stagnated can move forward again, not in the destruction of the Holy War.
, rebuilding the cycle of reincarnation.
At this point, there is no such thing as right or wrong. Perhaps, this is the inevitable result of different positions and different values.
I know that next time whether I see Cavins or Cavins sees me...
"'Not now'? Is that the next time? Hehe, we won't hold back next time we meet. In the end, we still have to kill each other..." (To be continued.)
