Chapter 517: It's Over
Ice Rat, this timid and life-loving guy, turned into a fluctuating shadow the moment he fled, like a breeze sweeping across the lake, and disappeared out of Ye Ning's vision in an instant.
His speed is like a stormy wave, rushing endlessly, and people can only catch the afterimage of his speed. Even a strong man like Ye Ning, although he could sense his existence, he couldn't penetrate the thick earth and grab the little creature hiding deep underground.
Each successful escape strengthens the belief in the Ice Rat's heart, making him more and more sure that only by hiding in the embrace of the earth can he be truly safe. Especially after this time, his mindset began to change, and he no longer had illusions and trust in the surface world.
The Ice Rat has a deeper understanding and belief in its philosophy of survival: only hiding in the embrace of the earth is its safest refuge. It no longer rushes out of the ground to face the unknown and dangerous world in search of its own food.
He no longer dared to venture out of his underground shelter in search of food, and his sense of security was completely shattered by the experience. He began to dig his own shelter underground and live in peace in it.
For the Ice Rat, everything on the ground could no longer be trusted, and the sense of security seemed to be shattered after that escape, leaving only uneasiness and vigilance. It uses its fear to carry out the necessary concealment to allow itself to survive better. After all, in this world, if you can't protect yourself, then survival becomes a luxury.
Therefore, after this narrow distance, the ice rat began to deeply doubt everything on the ground, and it chose to indulge in the darkness and silence of the underground world, living a hermit life day after day. Every day, every night, is to prevent the breeding of danger, every moment, it reminds itself to always be vigilant, only in this way, can it continue to survive in this unknown world.
As time passed, the crisis of food shortages began to frequently attack ice rats. Several times during these restless days, he was forced to leave his familiar and safe underground home and enter the unknown and dangerous surface world.
Each time he could see humans with all sorts of incredibly powerful tools, chasing and catching equally hungry critters in order to survive. Those scenes terrified him, and each experience was like a nightmare, and he developed a deep fear of life on the ground.
This cruel and real world made him feel helpless and aggrieved, but he soon understood that this was the reality of his existence, and only by accepting and adapting could he survive. So, he chose to return to the underground world he knew best and safest, where food was scarce but at least kept him away from disaster and death.
In order to survive, he had to compete with other rat pests for food, using his great strength and wisdom to find a chance to survive. He didn't like this kind of life, but in order to survive, he chose to be tenacious. He used his strength to earn a place in the midst of boundless disasters.
However, the Ice Rat's power and status can only last for a while, as his potential is limited and his room for growth is not wide. He may be among the strongest in this species, but he still can't change his destiny - it's a colony of rats that is overwhelming in numbers. They are fertile and powerful, and their armies are overwhelming, and their numbers are large enough to make qualitative change possible.
In this process of multiplication, there will inevitably be some new stars that are more powerful than the Ice Rat. Although they are young and have not grown up much, they possess the power to inflict lethal damage on the Ice Rat. In this crimson arena of survival, the law of the jungle is the only law.
The Ice Rat, an existence that once terrified countless creatures, died at the hands of its own kind. His ending is both the ruthlessness of nature and the law of life. Although he was once powerful and smart, he could not escape the cruel laws of competition for survival in the end. This is the cruelty of the competition for survival, and the impermanence of the evolution of races between organisms.
After Ye Ning successfully defeated those two powerful demon beasts, his heart was full of complicated emotions. This is not a carnival of the winners, but a kind of emotion and helplessness of the losers. He took a deep breath and returned his gaze to the deserted city behind him, then turned back to find his remaining companions.
They wandered through the ruins of the vicissitudes of life. Although the deserted city looks dilapidated, it still can't hide its former glory. Every brick wall, every earth and stone collapse, tells a legend of glory and decay.
Ye Ning and his team started a communication with the demon beasts. They let the monsters know that they can provide them with a stable living environment and a fixed source of food, and they no longer need to fight to the death for survival. Hearing these promises, the monsters showed a mixture of doubt, vigilance, and expectation, they had long been accustomed to living in despair, and this hope seemed so distant and yet real.
However, Ye Ning and his team did not give up, and they continued to persuade and show their determination and sincerity. Eventually, some of the demon beasts were willing to join them, willing to accept this hope. They witnessed the birth of the first peace agreement in a deserted city, and witnessed the opening of a new history.
Although they know that the road ahead is still difficult, there are still more monsters to convince, and more peace agreements to be signed. But they also know that every successful negotiation is a victory, a sign that their efforts to live in harmony with humans and monsters are beginning to pay off. Every demon beast that joins them is proof that their pace towards peace is getting more and more steady.
As always, whenever their team expanded to a certain size, Ye Ning would lead them back to Heavenly City. This is their home, and it's where the monsters start their lives again.
Amagi, the capital of the Alliance, not only showcases the wisdom and talent of humans, but also becomes a paradise for monsters to be reborn. There is no fighting, no fighting, only the possibility of peaceful coexistence.
Ye Ning and others established a complete education system in Amagi. They guide the trained monsters to educate their new companions, helping them adapt to their new living environment and embrace a peaceful way of life. These once strong people have now become teachers who are willing to share and teach.
Under this education system, the monsters gradually understand mutual assistance and attention, learn to control power, and replace confrontation and encroachment with understanding and acceptance. Their progress towards a more civilized existence is inseparable from the efforts of Ye Ning and his companions.
Over time, the education system has matured. Each new generation of monsters can find their own hope and peace here, and no longer need to fight each other for survival. And Ye Ning and his companions, their beliefs have also been realized in this process, they have witnessed the process of peace from unattainable to within reach, and seeing the growth of each demon beast brings them incomparable satisfaction and gratification.
Celestial City is no longer just a shelter for humans, but also a new home for monsters to pursue peace and find hope. This is Ye Ning's goal all along, they know that this is just the beginning, they will continue to move forward, let more demon beasts join them, and let the flower of peace bloom in more places.
Day after day, year after year, Ye Ning has been fighting on the two fronts of persuading demon beasts and domesticating demon beasts like a tireless traveler. His figure may be emaciated, but his faith has never wavered, and his eyes have never blurred. His efforts have been supported and appreciated by more and more people, and those who once felt lost about the future have gradually seen new hope.
And always by his side is Li Yishuang. Their feelings are like a trickle of water, although silent, but extremely deep. They fought side by side, sharing the wind and rain, and their hearts were full of each other's figures. Li Yishuang silently supported him, and her existence was like a beacon, illuminating Ye Ning's way forward.
It is precisely because of Li Yishuang's support and companionship that Ye Ning's every exploration and every attempt has become more determined and brave. Every moment they spent together, whether it was cold or heat, fighting or resting, became the most precious memory in their hearts.
Ye Ning's gaze was often fixed on Li Yishuang. It was an affectionate and determined gaze, like a sea of stars, brilliant and mysterious. He saw Li Yishuang's belief, and even more so her firmness. For Ye Ning, I don't know when this girl who has always been by her side is not only a partner, but also an inseparable heartbeat.
This relationship may not have too many words, not too many sweet words, but it is sincere and deep enough. This is a special emotion, and the best response is when two people understand each other, trust each other, and accompany each other. Ye Ning didn't want to promote this relationship, they walked side by side, watching the same sky, looking forward to a better future.
Yanyan Tiger starved to death in the wilderness, the electronic sheep followed Zhou Chen to the Western Continent, the Ice Rat died of the same kind, the Raging Flame Cow, the Lost Water Monkey defected to Ye Ning, the Dark Star Cat, the Sky Breaker Chicken, and the Desperate Pig went to the Western Continent......
For the remaining demon beasts on the danger list, Zhao'an's Zhao'an, those who went to the Western Continent went to the west, and they died and were injured. With the development of science and technology and the development of weapons, the demon beasts on the East Road are no longer in danger, and the battle of nearly a hundred years has come to an end.
The story of these demon beasts is over, but Ye Ning's story is more than that, and the story of humans is not over yet. There are only demon beasts on the Western Continent, and there will always be people who will sit on pins and needles, hoping to deal with them.
There are still many contradictions to be dealt with, and for Ye Ning, he has more important things to do, his target is the tree on the Western Continent.
