Chapter XXIII
"For a long time, we had been puzzled by the question of why those birdmen had launched a surprise attack on our people, and now we finally know the answer. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info However, a new question came out again," it took a long time for Zeus to look contemplative and say slowly, "Why did they use our space technology to launch a war against the fairy world to attack such a powerful human race?" And, why at this time? β
Lei Dong nodded. In fact, why did the birdman launch an attack on the immortal realm, let alone himself, even the oldest old man Nishan and Youlianhua and the others, they were not confused about this?
After a moment of silence, Lei Dong slowly spoke, and said in a deep voice: "I am in the immortal realm, and my knowledge is limited, but according to my experience and education in the mortal world, fundamentally speaking, there are only two roots of war - one is faith, and the other is resources. Most of the wars based on faith took place in ancient times, while the vast majority of modern and contemporary wars are because of resources, even if there are things such as politics and ideology on the surface, but fundamentally speaking, they are all about controlling or even plundering resources, whether this resource is land, energy, or even some kind of manpower. β
As he spoke, Lei Dong smiled to himself again, and said: "Actually, whether it is a war of faith or a war for resources, its essence is just two words. Lei Dong paused, and said those two words in an accentuated tone: "Interests!" The root of all wars is for profit! β
Zeus's eyes narrowed slightly when Lei Dong said the words "faith" and "resources", and when the word "interests" came into his ears, Zeus's eyes immediately lit up like two lightbulbs with electricity.
"As for why you chose to launch it at this time," Lei Dong ignored Zeus's expression, but continued to follow his train of thought: "It's nothing more than two reasons. First, they have coveted and gathered strength for a long time, believing that they already have the conditions to start a war and win a complete victory; Second, there is some kind of unexpected event that affects their interests, and if they do not start a war, they will not be able to achieve their goals, or they will never have the opportunity to achieve their goals again! β
Zeus's eyes have completely lit up, and even the eyes of the Kua brothers have gradually become very surprised, under the blazing gaze of the three people, Lei Dong's thoughts seem to become clearer and clearer: "According to the comparison of the strength of the two sides before the war, the four great saints are in line with each other, although there are many masters of the human race, but the strength has been greatly weakened after all, and the birdmen have not launched it immediately, obviously they have no certainty of victory, that is, the first reason is not valid." So on the other hand, these birdmen suddenly launched, and it was clear that something had happened that they had to start a war. So, what exactly happened at this time? β
Lei Dong seemed to be asking Zeus, and it was like asking himself, but in fact, the answer was already coming out.
"During that period, the only major event that occurred was that the Three Realms were formed and gradually stabilized, and the Divine Realm had basically completed its own structure and was about to stabilize. For this reason, the power of the human race and the god race is increasing rapidly...... So my guess isβ" Lei's eyes began to glow, "they are going to take the lead in launching a surprise attack before the order of the Three Realms is completely stabilized and the Terran power grows to the point that they can no longer shake it, so as to ensure that their ultimate goal can be achieved." β
After saying a long paragraph, Lei Dong let out a long breath and raised his head to look at Zeus: "I don't know if my speculation is correct?" β
Zeus's eyes became more and more surprised and appreciative, and he said: "I don't know if this speculation is correct, but I can be sure that this should be the one closest to the truth, in fact, our own inference is exactly the same as yours." It's just that we came to this conclusion after thousands or even tens of thousands of years of investigation and research......"
Zeus didn't say any more, but his meaning was already very clear. Lei Dong was not polite, whether it was because he had been exposed to too much political science and international strategic research in the mortal world, or anything, in short, with his own level, he could only speculate to this step. But what puzzled him was still the question: "If the essential cause of war is because of interests, because of differences in beliefs or the desire for resources, then what is it about the fairy world that actually arouses the covetousness of this powerful race?" β
Lei Dong's doubts are extremely natural and reasonable. Because according to Zeus's description, after the four great sages were in harmony with the Dao, the formulation and improvement of the rules of the Heavenly Dao did not destroy anything in the universe at all, but made the universe run more smoothly and the cultivation environment better. It should be said that this change is extremely beneficial to all cultivators and all beings in the universe, how could that consciousness that self-proclaimed Holy Emperor instead think that its own interests are threatened, so that it can't wait to start a war?
Faced with Lei Dong's question, Zeus let out a long sigh, as if he had been sighing for such a long time since he met Lei Dong, and the frequency became more and more intensive: "You said that the root of war lies in faith, but in resources, so have you ever thought that faith is actually a resource sometimes?" β
Faith, in fact, is also a resource? A gentle word, but like a heavy sledgehammer, smashed Lei Dong's head, making him dizzy, but it was like a lightning bolt in front of him.
Suddenly, Lei Dong seemed to see that in the military camp, the murderous aura that soared to the sky was actually able to help him practice and improve his cultivation speed; He seemed to see the faint white light rising above his head on the Holy Emperor's Guangming Island, when the warriors of the Minia Federation prayed for the name of the Holy Emperor; He seemed to see the mystery that filled the plains of Mosul when the fanatical IWS terrorists were at the feet of Galel Sam; He seemed to see the dazzling white light coming from the west across thousands of miles as Galel Sam and himself fought on the sea......
"Faith! Admire! It! Force! Lei Dong was a word for words, and every word was so heavy.
"The power of faith? It's a good name, but we usually call him 'telekinesis'! Zeus paused for a moment, quickly understood, nodded and said, "I still say the same thing, if you want to know why, you must first know what it is - do you know what the Holy Emperor is?" How did he grow stronger? β
