All the gods nodded at Sui Xiong's words, especially the God of War. He furrowed his brows and fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he sighed and said, "I really don't understand. You jellyfish, where did you get your knowledge from? I've studied for so many years, but I can't even compare to you … What did you do in the ocean before? "
His voice was filled with laughter and a hint of mockery. It was more of a joke than a complaint.
So Sui Xiong replied jokingly, "I used to be in the ocean? I was focused on training. I didn't go out at all, and all I did was train. Every day, I did 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, 10 kilometers … In the end, as you can see, I became bald and stronger. "
Unfortunately, there was no comic in this world, so the gods couldn't understand his joke.
Sui Xiong didn't mind. He laughed happily and gave himself a thumbs up for skipping the topic. Then, he started talking about serious matters — which side should he support in the war between humans and orcs.
"Since war itself can't promote development, then of course we should stop war," the Goddess of Joy said.
Sui Xiong nodded. This matter was basically clear, and there was nothing more to think about.
But at this moment, the God of Pleasure, Javier, suddenly said, "I want to say something … not in my capacity, but on behalf of a friend. You don't have to ask which friend it is, I won't tell you … Anyway, I'm just passing it on. "
Sui Xiong thought for a while and guessed the identity of this "friend." He instantly froze and looked at him seriously.
Javier naturally knew that the identity of this "friend" couldn't be hidden from everyone. But since he insisted on not saying it, it wasn't good for others to expose him. Between gods, as long as they weren't enemies, they still had to be polite.
"That friend of mine said that the best way to stop a war is not to force two aggressive species to live in peace, but to separate them and separate them from each other. Only then can peace be achieved."
The gods thought for a while and nodded.
Although the position of this "friend" was a bit problematic, what he said was not wrong. If two overbearing experts wanted to get along peacefully, the most reliable way was to separate them and only meet occasionally.
If it was a strong person with a gentle temperament — such as the Void Mask — he certainly did not mind getting along well with other strong people. However, if it was the kind of person who was used to gaining the upper hand and always wanted others to accommodate him, it might be fine for a short period of time, but in the long run, they would definitely fight.
Before Sui Xiong traveled to this world, he had read a famous saying on the Internet: A mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, unless one is a male and the other is a female.
Humans and Beastmen were like two tigers, and the main plane was like a small mountain. If one of the two tigers was male and the other was female, they might be able to coexist peacefully. However, both of them were male, and both of them were very violent.
The result was obvious. They would definitely fight.
Sui Xiong was silent for a while and asked, "What if I insist on stopping this war?"
"That would only allow both sides to prepare longer and more fully. When the war starts, it will be more tragic." Javier had probably gotten the answer from his "friend" and answered without hesitation.
Sui Xiong frowned. This time, after a little longer, he asked, "Then what if I continue to stop them?"
"There will always be times when you are too busy and have no time or energy to stop them," Javier answered.
"Maybe I will always have time," Sui Xiong said.
"Then it will be nothing more than to change the appearance of the war. It will not be a big battle between the two races with all their strength. Instead, it will be piecemeal, continuous, small-scale wars accompanied by economic struggles." This time, Javier was silent for a while before he answered. "Perhaps at first glance, it will not be like the war between the two races, with corpses everywhere and rivers of blood. But if we actually calculate, I am afraid that the number of innocent people who will die will be even greater."
Javier paused for a while and continued, "My friend, please make an estimate. If the humans and Beastmen fight now, how many people will die? And for so many years, both sides have been constantly fighting and killing each other. How many people have died? "
As he said this, he looked at the God of War, Wenner.
The God of War naturally knew who "my friend" was. He nodded and used the power of his priesthood to try to read the information from the source of the world and make some calculations.
Thus, a look of shock appeared on his face.
"I think that the God of War should have already come to a conclusion? There is no need to say the specific numbers. Just tell us which type of death is more common, "Javier said.
Wenner sighed. "The latter type is more common, and it is a lot more. It is overwhelmingly more common."
He thought for a while and added, "In reality, if the humans and Beastmen continue to fight like this for 300 years, the number of deaths and injuries caused will exceed the number of deaths in this war. If the war continues for a thousand years, the number of deaths will be close to four times that of this war. Furthermore, this is under the premise that there may be a war like the Day of the Sun's Extinguishing. If there is even one such war in this thousand years, the final number of deaths will exceed four times. "
All the gods fell silent. They did not know what to say.
"This is actually equivalent to a person who has been injured and the wound has started to fester. Should he choose to cut open the wound to discharge the pus? Or should he choose to cover up the wound? " Javier continued, "Of course, with the ability of the Void Mask, he may be able to cover up the wound so well that no one will be able to see it. But no matter what, you will not be able to heal this injury. Isn't that right? "
"Since you can't heal it, why not find a way to heal it? Although it is painful, at least this method is effective. "
Sui Xiong was silent and did not speak for a long time.
Of course, he could stubbornly say, "As long as there is no war, anything is fine," but what would be the point of that?
The conflict between the humans and the Beastmen would definitely end with a clear winner. Not to mention the fact that the humans and the Beastmen were two different races in terms of appearance and social structure, even the neighbors on Earth who shared the same culture and race would have to fight until one side was defeated and weak before true peace could be achieved.
The attitude of this "friend" was clear. Even if Sui Xiong stopped the war this time, he would still fight the next time. Even if Sui Xiong kept trying to stop the war, he would still find another way to defeat the Beastmen.
Sui Xiong really could not 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 could not guarantee that there would be no more conflicts between the two parties in the future.
Perhaps … it was just like what this "friend" had said. Instead of letting the two parties be enemies for a long time and constantly killing each other, it was better to let them fight to their heart's content this time and determine the winner. The winner would stay, and the loser would go far away. Once and for all.
A short pain was better than a long one!
