Cavins came suddenly, and left even more suddenly.

I was ready to do it, and he left without hesitation, leaving behind a word.

"Not now."

Although I know that the exchange is the final result, some words, if not made clear, still make people very unwilling.

Perhaps, that's why Cavins was still in front of me, even though he had anticipated my decision.

If you don't try, you're always unwilling.

I sighed a little, I was sad, but there was no possibility of regret.

I can understand Cavins' thoughts because, in a sense, what has caused so much misfortune is that it comes from this closed world.

The two goddesses feared the powerful invaders of the outer dimension and longed for themselves and the people they created to become strong, but they disagreed about what "powerful" was, and it eventually turned into a holy war.

Jihad, theoretically, cannot be fruitful.

Because neither chaos nor order can completely eliminate the other, and even if one side is really crushed and eliminated, a new order/chaos will reappear over time.

In a sense, the sacrifice is not worthless, although the route is very tortuous, and the power of the entire plane is progressing.

Don't look at the ancient races, ancient races, and ancient gods that sound very stylish, but their methods of using power are quite primitive and crude, and their weapons and equipment are also very primitive, and the concepts they have are old-fashioned and shallow.

Those old guys who can keep pace with the times are of course powerful, but more of them are unconsciously thrown away by the times and become old antiques with tears of the times.

These guys can grab a lot of them in the abyss. But don't listen to their fame. It's a real fight. may not have beaten a kid who is hundreds of years old.

In the past, angels, giants, and dragons were all hard with their excellent bodies, and logs and stones could be used as weapons.

Now not to mention the high-level equipment armed to the teeth, their magic and martial arts have been passed down for many generations, and all kinds of spells and stunts are innumerable.

It is not that the ancient dragons living in the age of gods and demons are so powerful that they are invincible, but that the strong dragons of the past were able to cross the calendar and live to be called ancient dragons. Naturally, it will be polished to the point of incredibleness by the years.

Ancient artifact? Let's see if it's rusty.

Ancient powerhouses? Is your old waist okay? Can you still jump?

Cough, it's far away, although there are always people who like to pull everything in the past, but in my opinion, the whole era has always been progressive, and the four major element magic of the Elven Empire has developed to the present, and there are hundreds, thousands of branches, and if the legendary powerful and boundless Great Magister is thrown today, I am afraid that it will take thirty years to make up for it first.

"The times will always progress."

That's what I've always believed. Inheritance is a very empty thing, but as long as words and history exist. The whole world will naturally move forward, and blind sublime is not only unnecessary, but also foolish.

But not to mention the mortal race, even the two goddesses themselves, they don't know if this progress is enough.

This is like a cage, no matter how well the beasts inside fight, they don't know whether they can beat the beasts outside....... this metaphor seems to be a little inappropriate, then, just like the candidates before the college entrance examination, they don't know if they are prepared enough until the day they go to the examination room.

And once this cage is opened, then there is naturally no need for such periodic wars.

But I know that what Cavins expects is not the cessation of the war......

What he longs for is the opportunity to evolve, to reactivate the time hand that has brought the world to a standstill.

"A race war with a limited duration? Teasing children? ”

"Maintaining the balance of samsara? What's the matter with me? ”

"It's fun to go around in circles?"

As long as that door is opened, the entire Ash world will naturally usher in the baptism of the outside world.

At that time, the survival of the fittest was just a matter of survival, and those who survived were the strong, and those who died were the unlucky and the weak.

I can understand that long-term pain is better than short-term pain, and it is stupid to close off the country, but understanding definitely does not mean approval.

Historically, the cost of seclusion has been dearly, and when the door is finally knocked open, the invaders will take something new you haven't seen before, and easily smear you.

"If you fall behind, you will be beaten" is not an empty phrase, but a lesson full of blood and tears.

But.......

"Ash is fundamentally different from the seclusion of the human realm, if there are not humans of the same race at all, but a group of ferocious ogres outside? They came not for enslavement and conquest, but for a more complete genocide? ”

Yes, no one knows what is out there, which can make the two goddesses fear for so many years, as well as the faithful restoration of the plane invaders in the "history", all make the situation not optimistic.

In "History", both goddesses are resurrected, but they still have no meaning.

Taking a step back, even if Ash eventually survived the baptism of foreign creatures and achieved the so-called evolution, how much more would he survive?

Ten percent? Per cent? I can't assess, if the invaders were as strong as in "history", if there really were a dozen survivors, they would be happy.

Some people may say, "This is a necessary sacrifice", "This is cannon fodder for the wheel of history to move forward", "There are always people who can't keep up with the times", but I want to say, I'm afraid it's the victims and not your cool words.

Who should be eliminated? Who should be sacrificed? Who finally lives in this world, but dies because of someone else's words?

Can anyone make such a heavy choice?

Taking a step back, if the battle loss rate is really more than ninety percent, who is sure to survive? So, even if the so-called evolution is finally achieved, what is the point?

Perhaps, in the end, there is really a powerful Ash country, all races coexist peacefully, the power of magic can transform life, and civilization and art have become the objects of the world's pursuit, but .......

"Does that make sense? In this day and age. Will the dead who have been 'sacrificed' happy? ”

It was not easy to see the dawn of the end of everything, how could I possibly let this happen.

Am I wrong about such a decision?

I am at fault, I have hindered the development of history, and maybe in a few hundred or thousands of years, a new race will bring about a new "holy war".

Is it wrong for Cavins to be so willful?

Wrong, he simply didn't look at other mortals, and countless people would die because of it.

Am I right in this decision?

Of course I'm right, the entire plane has finally developed to this point, how can I take such a big risk and exchange countless lives for the so-called opportunity for evolution and progress.

Is such a wayward ego, is Cavins right?

Of course it's right, it's irrefutable that it's right, the two goddesses are stupid, I'm a coward who doesn't dare to move forward when I see sacrifice, and only by opening that door can Ash's stagnant time be able to move forward again, instead of going around in circles in the destruction of jihad, reconstruction, and reincarnation.

At this point, there is no so-called right or wrong and right or wrong, perhaps, this is the inevitable result of different positions and different values.

I know that the next time I see Cavins, or if Cavins sees me......

"'Not now'? Is that the next time? Oh, I won't keep my hands next time we meet, and in the end, do you still want to kill each other......" (To be continued.) )
