Sui Xiong's words made all the gods nod their heads, especially the God of War, who frowned and fell into deep thought.
After a long time, He sighed and said: "I really don't understand, where did you, a jellyfish, get this kind of knowledge? I've been studying it for so many years, why don't you think about it for a while... What on earth did you do in the sea before? ah?"
His words were filled with laughter and a touch of teasing, more of a joke than a complaint.
So Sui Xiong also jokingly replied: "I was in the sea before? I concentrated on practicing in seclusion. I didn't leave the door and didn't take two steps. In addition to practicing, I still practiced: doing a hundred push-ups, a hundred sit-ups, and a hundred squats every day. , ten kilometers of long-distance running... In the end, as you can see, I became bald and became stronger."
Unfortunately, this world does not have that comic, and the gods cannot understand his joke.
Sui Xiong didn't mind at all, he laughed a few times in amusement, and secretly gave himself a thumbs up for avoiding the topic. Then he got down to business again—about which side to support in the war between humans and orcs.
"Since war itself cannot promote development, then of course war should be prevented." said the goddess of joy.
Sui Xiong nodded, this matter was basically clear and there was nothing to consider.
But at this moment, Veyer, the god of pleasure, suddenly spoke: "I want to say something... not in my capacity, but to paraphrase it for a friend. You don't need to ask which friend it is, I won't tell you. 's... in short, it's just a paraphrase."
Sui Xiong guessed the identity of that "friend" after just a moment's thought. He was immediately awed and looked at him seriously.
Wei Ye naturally also knew that the identity of the "friend" could not be hidden from everyone at all, but since he insisted on not telling it, it would be difficult for others to reveal it - between gods and gods, as long as they are not enemies, they still have to be polite.
"My friend said that the best way to prevent war is not to force two aggressive populations to live in peace, but to separate them and separate them by far distances so that they no longer border each other. Only then can peace be truly achieved."
The gods thought for a while and nodded.
Although this "friend's" position is somewhat questionable, what he says is not wrong. If two strong men with domineering personalities want to live in peace, the most reliable way is to separate them and only meet occasionally.
If it is a strong person with a gentle personality, such as Mask of the Void, he certainly doesn't mind getting along well with other strong people. But if you are the type who has the upper hand and always wants others to accommodate him, when two people meet together, it may be okay for a short time, but if time goes by, they will definitely start fighting.
Before Sui Xiong traveled through time, he had read a famous saying on the Internet: One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, unless there is one male and one female.
Humans and orcs are equivalent to two tigers, and the main plane is just a mountain top that is not big enough. If these two tigers are one male and one female, they may still be able to get along with each other. However, these two tigers are both male, and they are both male and female. All very irritable.
The result is naturally conceivable, they will definitely fight.
Sui Xiong was silent for a while and asked, "What if I have to stop this war?"
"That just allows both sides to prepare longer and be more fully prepared, and the fight will be more brutal." Weyer probably got the answer from that "friend" and answered without hesitation.
Sui Xiong frowned, and after a little longer this time, he asked, "Then what if I continue to stop it?"
"There are always times when you are very busy and don't have the time or energy to stop it." Weyer replied.
"Maybe I will always have time." Sui Xiong said.
"Then it's nothing more than changing the shape of the war. It's not a decisive battle between two races with all their strength, but a piecemeal and continuous small-scale war, accompanied by economic struggles." This time Weier was silent for a while before answering, "Maybe at first glance, it won't look like a decisive battle between two clans with corpses strewn across the fields and rivers of blood flowing. But if you actually count it, I'm afraid the number of people who died and the innocent people who were harmed will be even greater."
Weyer paused for a moment and continued: "That friend asked His Majesty, the God of War, to make an estimate. If humans and orcs fight now, how many people will die? And for so many years, the two sides have been fighting and fighting, and they have died again. how many people?"
As he said that, he looked at Wenner, the God of War.
The God of War naturally knew who "that friend" was. He nodded, used the power of the priesthood, tried to read the data from the origin of the world, and made some calculations.
Then, there was a little shock on his face.
"I think His Majesty, the God of War, has already come to a conclusion, right? Needless to say the specific numbers, just tell us which one has more." Weyer said.
Wenner sighed: "There are many of the latter, and much more, overwhelmingly."
He thought for a while and added: "In fact, as long as humans and orcs continue to fight like this for three hundred years, the casualties caused will exceed this decisive battle. If they continue to fight for a thousand years, the number will be this big battle." The number of decisive battles is close to four times. And this is after deducting the possibility of a war like 'The Day the Sun Goes Out'. If there is even one such war in this thousand years, the final number will be more than four times."
All the gods were silent, not knowing what to say.
"This is actually equivalent to a person being injured and the wound is suppurating. Should you choose to open the wound to drain the pus? Or choose to cover the wound?" Weyer continued, "Of course, with the ability of Mask of the Void, it may be possible You cover up the wound so well that no one can see it, but no matter what, you can't heal it. Can you?"
"Since you can't cure it, why not find a way to cure it? Although it is painful, this method is at least effective."
Sui Xiong was silent and didn't speak for a long time.
Of course he could stubbornly say, "As long as there is no war, everything will be fine," but what's the point
The dispute between humans and orcs must be divided into high and low. Let alone humans and orcs, who are two different races in appearance and social form, even among neighbors on the earth who share the same culture and species, don't they always have to fight until one party fails and weakens before there can be true peace
The attitude of this "friend" is clear. Even if Sui Xiong prevents the war this time, he will fight next time; even if Sui Xiong keeps preventing the war, he will find another way to defeat the orcs.
Sui Xiong really couldn't think of any good way to convince this person. The most important thing was that even if he could convince the other party this time, he couldn't guarantee that the two sides would not have conflicts in the future.
Maybe... As this "friend" said, instead of letting the two sides have long-term hostility and constant fighting, it is better to let them have a happy fight this time and win or lose. The winner stays, the loser goes far away, it's all over.
Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain!
