Cavens came very suddenly, and left even more suddenly.
When I was about to start, he left without hesitation and left a sentence.
"not now."
Although I know that the exchange is the final result, but some words, not clear, but still make people very unwilling.
Perhaps, this is the reason why Calvins had already anticipated my decision, but still appeared in front of me.
If you don't try it, you'll never be satisfied.
I have some sighs, some sadness, but there is no possibility of regret.
I can understand Cavens' thinking, because, in a sense, this has caused countless misfortunes from this closed world.
The two goddesses were afraid of powerful invaders from other dimensions, and longed for themselves and the group they created to become stronger, but they disagreed on what "strong" was, and eventually evolved into a holy war.
Jihad, in theory, is impossible to achieve.
Because no matter whether it is chaos or order, it is impossible to completely eliminate the other party. Even if one party is really crushed and eliminated, over time, a new order/chaos will reappear.
In a sense, sacrifice is not worthless, although the route is very tortuous, the power of the entire plane is progressing.
Don't look at the ancient races, ancient races, and ancient gods, they sound very cool, but the way they use power is quite primitive and crude, the weapons and equipment are also very primitive, and the concepts they have are old-fashioned and simple.
Those old guys who can keep pace with the times are of course powerful, but more, they are thrown away by the times unknowingly and become the antiques of the times.
These guys can catch a lot of them in the abyss, but don't listen to their reputation. If they really fight, they may not beat hundreds of years old boys.
In the past, the angels, giants, and dragons were all strong by virtue of their excellent physique, and logs and stones could be used as weapons.
Now let alone high-end equipment armed to the teeth, their magic and martial arts have been passed down for unknown generations, and all kinds of spells and stunts are countless. In their eyes, the direct attack method of the ancient species is like a rogue king. Fist-like childish and ridiculous.
It's not that the ancient dragons living in the age of gods and demons were so powerful that they were invincible, but that the strong dragons of the past were able to transcend the calendar and live to be called ancient dragons, and they would naturally be polished to an unimaginable level by the years.
Ancient artifact? Let's see if it's rusted.
Ancient powerhouse? How is your old waist? Can you still dance
Cough, let’s go too far. Although there are always people who like to talk about the past, everything is fine, but in my opinion, the whole era is always progressing. The four elements of magic in the era of the Elf Empire have developed to the present, and there have been hundreds or thousands of them. Branch, leaving the legendary powerful and boundless great magister today, I am afraid that it will take thirty years to make up lessons.
"Times will always improve."
This is what I have always believed. The inheritance is a false idea, but as long as words and history exist, the whole world will naturally move forward. It is not necessary to be blind and lofty, and it is even more stupid.
But not to mention 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 beasts fight inside, they don't know if they can beat the beasts outside... This metaphor seems a bit inappropriate. Then, just like the candidates before the college entrance examination, they will not be able to fight until the day they enter the examination room. Know if you are prepared enough.
And once the cage is opened, then there is no need for such periodic wars.
But I know that Cavens, expecting, is not the end of the war...
What he longs for is an opportunity for evolution, a time-pointer that has brought the world to a standstill again.
"A race war for a limited time? Amusing children?"
"Maintaining the balance of reincarnation? What's up with me?"
"It's fun to spin in a circle over and over again?"
As long as that door is opened, the entire Ashe world will naturally usher in the baptism of the outside world.
At that time, only the fittest survived, the strong survived, and the unlucky and the weak died.
I can understand that long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, and it is stupid to be closed to the country, but understanding, it definitely does not mean agreeing.
Historically, shutting down the country has paid a heavy price. When the door of the country is finally knocked open, those intruders will take new things that you have not seen before and easily smear your face.
"You will be beaten when you fall behind" is not an empty phrase, but a lesson full of blood and tears.
but…
"There is an essential difference between Ashe and the seclusion of the human kingdom. If the outsiders are not humans of the same race at all, but a group of ferocious ogres? Their purpose is not to enslave and conquer, but a more thorough race. Extinct?"
Yes, no one knows what is out there. It can make the two goddesses fear for so many years, and the faithful restoration of the plane invaders in the "history" makes the situation not optimistic.
In "History", both goddesses are resurrected, but still have little meaning.
Taking a step back, even if Ashe finally survived the baptism of the creatures from the outer domain and realized the so-called evolution, how much can he survive
Ten percent? Five percent? I can't assess, if the invaders are as powerful as in "history" and there are 10% survivors, they should be happy.
Some people may say, "This is a necessary sacrifice", "This is a cannon fodder for the wheel of history", "There will always be people who can't keep up with the times", but I want to say, I am afraid that it is the victim and not your sarcastic words.
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 decision
Taking a step back, if the battle loss rate is more than 90%, who can be sure of surviving? So, even if the so-called evolution is finally achieved, what's 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 the world, but...
"Does that make sense? In this day and age. Will the dead who were 'sacrificed' be happy?"
Finally, I saw the dawn of the end of everything, how could I let this happen.
Am I wrong for such a decision
I was wrong. I hindered the development of history. Maybe hundreds or thousands of years later, new races will bring new "jihad".
Is it wrong for Cavens to be so capricious
It's wrong, he simply doesn't look at other mortals, and countless people will die because of it.
This decision, am I right
Of course I'm right, the whole plane has finally developed to this level, how can it take such a big risk and exchange countless lives for the so-called opportunity for evolution and progress.
Such a wayward self, is Cavens correct
Of course it's right, it's irrefutable, the two goddesses are the idiots, I'm the coward who doesn't dare to advance after seeing the sacrifice, only by opening that door, Ashe's stagnant time can move forward again, not in the destruction of the jihad , Reconstructing the cycle of reincarnation.
At this point, there is no so-called right and wrong and whether it is right or not. Perhaps, this is the inevitable result of different positions and different values.
I know, next time I see Cavens, or Cavens sees me...
"'Not now'? Is that the next time? Oh, I won't let go next time we meet. In the end, are we going to kill each other..."
