"Enemy?" Wen Wenhai stared blankly, then he looked at Zhao Hai in confusion. He didn't understand what Zhao Hai meant. Why would the Lost Soul Empire need an enemy?
Zhao Hai looked at Wen Wenhai and said, "Right, our Lost Soul Empire needs an enemy right now. Wenhai, did you notice anything different about our Lost Soul Empire's formations in the past two years?"
Wen Wenhai stared for a moment, then he frowned and thought for a moment. Finally, he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Different places? Boss, I really didn't find anything different. It seems like our spirit designs are still very useful and are developing very quickly. There's nothing wrong with it. Aren't you also researching spirit designs now? "
Zhao Hai replied, "Alright, then I'll tell you some data. You should know how different our formations are now. Before unifying the Soul Realm, our Bewildering Soul Empire produced about 130 new formations every year. 70 of these formations were for military use, 30 of them could be used for both military and civilian use. Only 30 of these formations were for civilian use. And these 30 formations were only for civilian use. After unifying the Soul Realm, we produced about 200 new formations every year. Of these, 60 are for military use, 20 are for military use, and the rest are for civilian use. These civilian formations can't be used for military use. In other words, although our Bewildering Soul Empire's formations have been developing rapidly in the past two years, the number of military formations has been decreasing while the number of civilian formations has been increasing. Do you know what this means?"
Wen Wenhai looked at Zhao Hai and shook his head.
Zhao Hai said in a deep voice, "This means that the development speed of our Lost Soul Empire is slowing down. Perhaps in everyone's eyes, creating 200 new arrays in a year is already a kind of progress, but Wen Hai, let me ask you, if our Lost Soul Empire really wants to develop, if we really want to deal with the Evil Spirit Sect, what do we rely on? Do we rely on those civilian arrays? No, they had to rely on military formations. They had to rely on powerful military forces. Without powerful military forces, what was the point of using civilian formations? Once the enemy came, could they use fire formations to fight the enemy? Or could they use wind formations to fight the enemy? Therefore, our Lost Soul Empire's development speed has actually slowed down. Why did it slow down? There's only one answer, there's no enemy, so everyone slacked off. "
After saying this, Zhao Hai paused for a moment. Then he looked at Wen Wenhai and said, "When did our Lost Soul Empire develop the fastest? I can tell you with certainty that it was when we defeated the Holy Court and were waiting for the Evil Ghost Sect's revenge. At that time, our Lost Soul Empire's development was the fastest. Then after we defeated the Evil Ghost Sect, our development was also very fast. Then we defeated the Evil Ghost Sect for the second time. At that time, although our development was slower than before, it wasn't slow because at that time, we weren't able to fully integrate the Secret Realm into our Lost Soul Empire. Moreover, we were also worried about the Evil Ghost Sect's revenge. At the same time, we also knew about Xia Yu's existence and the possibility of ascension. Therefore, our development was also very fast during that time. Adding on the information that Xia Yu brought, it can be said that our development was also very fast. "
Zhao Hai paused, then he looked at Wen Wenhai and said, "After we defeated the Evil Ghost Sect for the third time, we were almost certain that the Evil Ghost Sect wouldn't come again. Our development speed slowed down. After that, we easily took over the Alien Continent and made the Wenji Continent submit to our Lost Soul Empire. After that, we took over the Soldier Spirit Continent without shedding a single drop of blood. Our development speed slowed down. I'm not saying that this isn't good, it's good that everyone is focusing on the people's livelihood. At the very least, it can improve our lives. But if this continues, will our military development stop? Will our army be able to maintain its fighting strength? This is what I'm worried about the most. "
Wen Wenhai completely understood what Zhao Hai meant. He looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Boss, what you mean is that we need some external pressure. We need to let everyone understand that there's still an enemy. Moreover, this enemy might be able to defeat us. Therefore, we need to work hard to develop ourselves. Only in this way can we not be defeated by the enemy. Is that what you mean? "
Zhao nodded. "Almost, but not as radical as you said. We need an enemy, but we can't let our people be too tense every day. So we need a powerful enemy that can threaten us, but we don't need an enemy that can destroy us. Do you understand what I mean?" Zhao nodded. "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Wen Wenhai thought for a moment and said, "Boss, what you mean is that we should find an opponent for our Lost Soul Empire, but this opponent should be weaker than us by a bit. We can suppress them, but we can't completely eliminate them without paying a price. Is that what you're trying to say? But how can you be sure that there's such an enemy at the other end of the spatial passage? "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "It doesn't matter if there's such an enemy at the other end of the spatial passage. What I want is for the Lost Soul Empire to maintain a state of war. I want the people of the Lost Soul Empire to understand that we still have enemies. Even if we conquer this enemy, we still have other enemies. I thought that the Destroyer would jump out to be our enemy, but now it seems like this isn't the case. Since the Destroyer didn't jump out to be our enemy, then we have no enemy. Do you know why I want the people of the Lost Soul Empire to explore? I want them to cause some trouble and make the people of the Lost Soul Empire nervous. How can a person be nervous? That's why I said that we need an enemy. But if we can continue to conquer other realms, then that's also good. It's just that we don't have many opportunities to do so. As for whether the hole we discovered is a spatial passage or not, we still need to confirm it. But it doesn't matter. What we need to do now is to make the people of the Lost Soul Empire nervous. Do you understand what I mean? "
Wen Wenhai understood what Zhao Hai meant. Wen Wenhai looked at Zhao Hai and said, "But Boss, don't we still have the Evil Spirit Sect as an enemy? Regardless of whether the Evil Spirit Sect would come to the Lost Soul Empire or not, as long as five years pass, they would appear at any time. Wouldn't that create pressure for everyone? "
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "We can't. We've already defeated the Evil Ghost Sect three times. I dare say that even if the Evil Ghost Sect does something, they wouldn't be a match for our Lost Soul Empire in the lower realms. They don't have any means to pressure us. Because of this, the Lost Soul Empire only has one path to take, and that is to expand. We'll continue to expand until we meet an opponent."
Wen Wenhai smiled bitterly, he really didn't know what to say. Expansion, how could it be so easy? After more than a year of exploration, the Lost Soul Empire had a lot of people, but they only found a suspicious hole. There were no other suspicious places, how could they expand? One must know that the Lost Soul Empire had conquered many realms, not just a small country. Once a realm is conquered, the entire realm would belong to you. There would be no enemy at all. In this case, how could you expand?
It was just like how people said that when Caesar saw his empire, he cried because there was nothing left to conquer. And now, Wen Wenhai felt that this was the case. Although he wasn't Zhao Hai, in his opinion, there was nothing left to conquer in the Lost Soul Empire. This was because they had already conquered all the realms that could be conquered. He didn't believe that they would meet an enemy. He didn't believe that there would be a realm on the same level as them that could resist the Lost Soul Empire's attacks.
However, he couldn't help but worry about Zhao Hai's situation. If one day the Lost Soul Empire's defenses were to slack, then the Lost Soul Empire would be finished.
However, it wouldn't be easy to find an enemy for the Lost Soul Empire. Because of this, Wen Wenhai could only smile bitterly. He really didn't know how to solve the Lost Soul Empire's current situation.
Zhao Hai looked at Wen Wenhai and said, "At present, the Lost Soul Empire has begun to indulge in pleasure. When an empire indulges in pleasure, it also means that their ambitions are about to disappear. Because of this, I made the Lost Soul Empire expand. If we can't find an enemy that can pressure us, then we can only nurture their ambitions. When the Lost Soul Empire's ambitions grow, then the Lost Soul Empire's pace of expansion wouldn't stop."
Wen Wenhai replied, "Boss, I understand what you mean. You can rest assured. During this exploration, I'll take a good look and see if it's a spatial passage. If it's really a spatial passage, then why hasn't anything come out for so many years?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Remember, don't take any risks. Even if it's not a spatial passage, we still have other methods. I feel that there's something wrong with the destructive force on the surface of the Spirit Weapon Realm. It's just that no one has discovered it yet."
Wen Wenhai said in a deep voice, "The destructive forces in the Spirit Weapon World Sea are indeed very strange. However, it's not that easy to find out the reason. Therefore, we should first focus our attention on this cave. I really want to know what kind of place is at the other end of this cave. If that's a spatial passageway, it would be great."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and didn't say anything.
