Ten years ago, although there was no lack of war in the whole of Ash, it was fundamentally different from now.

It seems that since I stepped into the earthly world, there has not been a day in the whole world that has not been at war, not that I always joke about the crow's beak and the broom star, but that this damn world has entered the holy war period again, and there is no peace in the world.

It is ridiculous to seek personal peace and stability when the whole world is at war.

There are many "saints" and "saints" who call for peace, and there are many careerists who take the opportunity to engage in political action, and when the entire nation, country, and even race are fighting for survival, the future of the individual naturally becomes uncertain.

You can sing hymns of peace and hold up flowers to the invaders, it's personal freedom, but you don't know if it's a friendly smile or a ....... shining bayonet.

History tells us that no matter how high-sounding they disguised themselves before the invasion, and how friendly and friendly their tactics were towards other peoples, others, and adversaries, once they really grasped the situation, differential treatment and various forms of seizure followed.

"Nonsense, if you don't pay more, it's not for nothing, it's really when the invaders come all the way to do charity. War is also a costly investment that must be paid off. ”

And in Ash, this fact is even more bloody and obvious, and it is a race war for living space and world hegemony, which is more cruel and direct.

Racial equality? When the victor's race can gain enough living space, when the victor's king and strong can become gods and even gain immortality, and when the loser's clan and gods will be swept into the dustbin of history, the so-called equality will naturally become an unrealistic and beautiful word.

If the victor of this holy war is the victor human of the last time, it will probably be able to maintain a certain degree of stability, at least against the elves, orcs, and dwarves of the "allies". It will also follow the conventions and precedents of history, which will not be good, but it will not be bad either.

are forced to survive in the corners of the world, not how bad is it? Actually, the victors of all the holy wars, when they won the holy wars, the first thing. It is the ethnic cleansing and massacre of the original dominant race and the enemy side, so in comparison, it is only a little worse, and it really can't be said how bad it is.

Before, I would be on the side of humanity, or the side of the Order, not only because of my innate racial stance, but also because I didn't want to see the chain of hatred repeated.

The ancient humans of the Republic of Tali hated the trolls, and the trolls hated them and the undead. The elves hate all other races, the trolls and humans have a blood feud with them, the orcs and dwarves and humans are mortal enemies, and the root of all of this is the goddamn jihadist mechanism.

Every victory, in fact, represents the defeat of other races, and that resentment and curse will accumulate and perhaps disappear over time. But most of the time, it turns into deeper and deeper racial hatred.

"Everybody's dead. The patriarch is also dead, and it's all human fault. ”

"Our homeland is the Golden Plains, where our race once originated, and the cunning humans betrayed our covenant and stole them!"

"It's all human fault that we've been driven to this remote hellish place."

"Grandma froze to death. It's all human fault. ”

"It's all human fault that I'm hungry."

From generation to generation, the glorious ones who have failed will remember the past, and the descendants of the losers will fill all their misfortunes into the pool of hatred that has accumulated.

What will become of this hatred in the end? It's already terrible just to imagine, and I'm afraid it's also the root cause of the victors of the war, who will end up committing massacres.

A never-ending battle to the death.

And even if you win, there will be a next time, this victory will accumulate more grudges and avengers, can you still win next time? It's hard to say, and even if you win, next time, next time?

Ash's history is a mirror, there is no eternal dominant race, no race can win every holy war, it is a chain of misfortune and hatred.

Just kill all the other races?

Don't be stupid, even if you kill all the other races, there are still differences in skin color and ethnicity; Even if you clean up people of other ethnic groups of color, there are still differences in regional accents, even if you clear all the differences and differences, and produce exactly the same artificial human, as long as there are differences of interest, as long as there is something worth fighting for, or even just drinking one more sip of water every day, they can use the numbered tail number to distinguish friend from foe, and fight to the death.

This is the inevitable consequence of human nature, or the instinct of natural beings to seek their own development.

What the two goddesses did was just a push on this basis.

People are like this, animals are like this, everyone wants to live, and there are not many resources, so find a reason to divide the enemy and kill a part, and you will naturally get more shares.

I hate the world, it makes me feel like I'm just a naked, primitive wild animal living in the jungle.

"Whatever you do, can't you change the world? Damn, shit, shit, shit......."

Perhaps, it was this logical contradiction and despair that made me fall into madness back then.

Eventually, I found the power of the law in the underworld, and it was the answer I found for myself.

"Man is instinctive and unreliable, since morality cannot be restrained, let the law come, and we draw a rule, if everyone can abide by it, maybe we can eliminate this eternal struggle."

In fact, my behavior is the same as that of the original Legalists in China, and it was the troubled times of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period that made the great sages of Legalism begin to seek the salvation of the world by "repairing the ancients unexpectedly, and lawlessness is often allowed".

The laws of each era are different, and that is because the laws required by the times are different.

"It is because morality and self-restraint do not work that we need the rope of self-restraint."

The law is not much sacred, it is just some artificially created ropes and chains, which bind people's nature of "good and evil" and "good and evil", and the great clever person adds the temptation of "candy". Confusion, let the law-abiding get a little preferential treatment.

This is a possibility, an ethereal possibility, but there is a difficulty that is almost impossible to overcome.

In this world where there are gods, for all people to be bound by these chains, there must be fair judges who are beyond the gods.

If the gods could give the green light at will, the restraint would not only become meaningless, but also a means of tyranny.

Thankfully, Iye was moved by this possibility, and the success of the Sleepless Man's ascension made this "possibility" possible, and in the end, after going through a lot and paying a lot, Hades and the world of the Inquisitor after death succeeded.

One day, when souls do not enter the kingdom of God, but return to Hades, they will no longer be judged by their devotion and sacrifice for the gods, but by their personal conduct, good and evil, and then the gears of hatred will be stuck.

One day, everyone will fear the judgment after death and truly face up to the consequences of their words and deeds, and perhaps, the war will be eliminated.

Of course, it's just a possibility, but it's already my limit.

And now that Hades has taken shape, the jihadist fanatics on the order side and the chaos side are very eye-catching, and only if they continue to incite the war, then the holy war will still not stop, and all sacrifices are meaningless.

Even, in my eyes as I am anxious for change, those god-like gods of the old era are very eye-catching...

Therefore, we have been looking for opportunities to eradicate the existence of the old times as much as possible, and to make this holy war the last.

But at this time, someone offered another option.

"Isn't it all over if you open the barrier of this plane and completely eradicate the necessity of jihad?"

During this time, Cavins' words and actions have been lingering in my mind.

Can it end? Is Cavins doing it right? Compared to the "possibility" that I don't know when it will happen, maybe this option will pay off faster and with less sacrifice.

"Even if there are terrible plane invaders outside, at least in the face of strong enemies, in the face of the pressure of survival, all races will stop the civil war. Perhaps, with this opportunity, at the moment when the two goddesses do not continue to cause trouble, a quite effective communication and joint mechanism can be formed, after World War II, it was also the Allies who overthrew the Axis powers, and the United Nations was born. ”

Perhaps, people like me say a little better, it is called cautious and careful, and if it is ugly, it is called thinking too much and not sleeping well, and it is easy to be bald....Ahem, Roland is very strong, Roland is not bald at all.

But after repeatedly identifying, analyzing, and comparing, I still gave up this thought.

Cause? It's ridiculous to say, but what made me make up my mind in the end was the memory of my past life.

"There are no gods and holy wars on that earth, isn't it the same that knocks out all the intestines every few decades? Can really open the closure of this world solve the problem? I don't think so, although my method is slow to work, but it can make a real difference. At least in that world, the concept of the rule of law was widespread and the United Nations provided a certain amount of deterrence by force, the situation improved a little. ”

"What's the point of opening the blockade and just changing the environment for this chain of hatred, entering a bigger stage, and introducing more competing races? There will always be one winner, and there will be more losers. ”

After much discernment, I decided to reject Cavins' proposal, and my close understanding of him strengthened my determination to fight to the end.

"Cavins, from beginning to end, it's probably just to have fun, this stage is too small and panicked, change to a bigger stage and hi together, 'What if you mess up?' It's nothing, just be happy in the process', how can such a person hand over the future of the world to him......" (To be continued.) )
