The Fire Ant was so dumbfounded that he was almost dumbfounded.
Li Yao even cursed softly in the dark drainage canals. His telepathic thoughts almost exposed the existence of Neltharion when he was distracted.
Are you kidding me? Is Elder Nether Spring a determined pessimist? Do you think I will believe you?
Li Yao felt that it was quite absurd.
Of the four superpowers of the Blood Demon Sector, the Gold Crow Kingdom was in charge of the air forces, the Sea Dominator Kingdom was in charge of the sea forces, and the Kingdom of Lion Butchers and the Nether Spring Kingdom were in charge of the ground forces and the underground forces, respectively.
The convergence point of the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Blood Demon Sector was the Dark Desolate Domain deep inside the Grand Desolate Plateau, which was far away from the ocean. The airflow there was turbulent, and the powerful crystal warships of the Xing Yao Federation were guarding the airspace, too.
Therefore, in Li Yao's memories, the Gold Crow Kingdom and the Sea Dominator Kingdom had never shown up.
In the meantime, on the boundless Grand Desolate Plateau, any large-scale beast tide that appeared on the ground would certainly be attacked by the crystal warships head-on. Therefore, most of the attacks of the demon race were gathered below the ground first before they suddenly dashed out of the ground and invaded the urban areas of the towns of human beings for a chaotic battle. The main cannons of the crystal warships and other weapons of mass destruction did not dare to attack them.
In this strategy, the underground troops of the demon race, namely the Insect Clan, who were adept at digging holes and fighting underground, were particularly important.
Therefore, the Nether Spring Kingdom had always been the vanguard of the invasion of the Xing Yao Federation.
The first beast tide that Li Yao encountered on the train on the Grand Desolate Plateau was made of the Ghost Face Silver Mosquitoes of the Insect Clan, too.
Elder Nether Spring, as the strongest expert of the Insect Clan and the real master of the Nether Spring Kingdom, ranked first on the 'Deadly Demons List' of the Xing Yao Federation. He was the biggest problem for the Federation!
In the Battle of Dawn a year ago, the Nether Spring Kingdom and the Kingdom of Lion Butchers had even launched an army that swept across the entire Grand Desolate Plateau and reached the Giant Blade Pass at the south of the Grand Desolate Plateau.
Although the Giant Blade Pass was not taken in the end, many military fortresses and infrastructure of the Xing Yao Federation on the Grand Desolate Plateau were destroyed and the pathway to the south was broken. According to the intelligence that Li Yao learned from other sources, the Federation was in a dire situation. At that time, the Federation was in a precarious situation. All the major cities and towns in the inland started to implement a curfew, and even the reserve forces were mobilized!
Right now, Elder Nether Spring was the mastermind behind the Battle of Dawn. He actually admitted that he was a pessimist, and he was so firm that the demons would definitely lose, and the humans would definitely win.
Li Yao was a little confused.
Elder Nether Spring sighed and said, "On the surface. The Blood Demon Sector is even more aggressive than the Tian Yuan Realm. In the current war, it is on the attacking side, too. It has even marched into the heartland of the Xing Yao Federation.
"But if you analyze it carefully, you will realize that the Blood Demon Sector is just an arrow at the end of its flight.
"Our series of attacks may seem aggressive, but we have no choice because the Xing Yao Federation's technology is developing too quickly. If we don't constantly maintain a strong pressure on the Xing Yao Federation and deplete their resources, they will most likely collapse in just twenty to thirty years. Then, they will have an overwhelming advantage over the Blood Demon Sector in terms of technology.
"Hehe. Despite the strong pressure, the Xing Yao Federation still managed to gather fifteen legions of Crystal Suit in only ten years. Even at the most perilous moment of the Battle of Dawn, the force was not mobilized on a large scale. It was like a burning saber hanging over our head!
"But we have to pay a price for our attacks!
"An expedition to the enemy's homeland. Both the casualties of our soldiers and the consumption of our assets are more than three times that of the Xing Yao Federation.
"Let's take the Battle of Dawn as an example. Most of the casualties were low-level demons. But a lot of precious bronze blood and silver blood soldiers were lost, too. They were all tough soldiers that could only be trained after decades of training. Their death means one less soldier in the next three to five years. It is impossible to replenish them!
"The Xing Yao Federation, on the other hand, did not suffer any fundamental damage. We only lost some towns and consumed some crystals and magical equipment.
"However, they have learned tremendous experience from the battle. I can clearly feel that, in the Battle of Dawn that lasted for a year, the deployment of soldiers, tactical responses, and strategic mobilization of the federal army improved very quickly in the early and the late phase!"
"In fact, even if the low-level demons hadn't mutinied, we wouldn't have been able to persist for long and would have had to retreat immediately. Otherwise, it was very likely that the Union Army would have blocked our retreat and annihilated us!
"Do you know the reason for all this?"
Fire Ant held his breath and listened carefully.
Elder Nether Spring said solemnly, "Everything is because of the system.
"On the surface, it is a war between the Tian Yuan Realm and the Blood Demon Sector.
"However, human beings of the Heaven's Origin Sector, under the governance of the Xing Yao Federation, are an inseparable whole. The government is smooth, the army is stable, the people are united, the industry and the training system are clear, and all the resources can be utilized in the most optimal way.
"The Blood Demon Sector, on the other hand, has been divided into four kingdoms, almost a hundred demon cities, and countless demon caves. It is like a tray of loose sand. Even though the Pantheon of Demons is trying to mend it like a tinkerer, how can it compare to the unity of the human beings?
"This is our fatal, irreversible shortcoming. Our form is too different from that of human beings!
"The Insect Clan, the Feather Clan, the Sea Clan, the Horn Clan, the Claw Clan … Other than the five major species, there are also a lot of bizarre minority species. Every species lives in a different environment and consumes different resources. They all have their own interests and standpoints. How can they be truly united like human beings?
"Decades ago, after I discovered the secrets of Chaos and learned that I was a chaotic-blood being, I began to think.
"I browsed through all the ancient books and history books that I could find, hoping to be enlightened by the river of history. But when I studied the decline of the Demon Beast Dynasty and the rise of human beings, I came up with my own ideas.
"The demon race, which has different forms and interests, cannot adapt to the modern society of standardization, digitization, and informatization at all. The rise of human beings is unstoppable.
"Instead of saying that the Demon Beast Dynasty was crushed by the Star Ocean Imperium thirty thousand years ago, it is better to say that it was overwhelmed by its own enormity.
"The crux of the problem is still unresolved to this day.
"We are using loose sand disguised as rocks to fight against real rocks. How can we win?"
The Fire Ant could not help but ask, "Is this the reason why you believe that the demon race is bound to fail?"
"No."
Elder Nether Spring shook his head and said, "This is not the biggest reason why I believe that the demon race is bound to fail. Although we are faced with enormous difficulties, I believe that. In a war on the level of two Sectors, one or two heroes, or one or two new magical equipment or technologies, is enough to change the trend of the war.
"Therefore. Theoretically speaking, even if the Xing Yao Federation boasts infinite potential, we still have a chance to nip them in the bud before the Federation realizes its potential.
"However. What's the point of that? "
The Fire Ant was dazed for a moment. "I don't understand. Is it meaningless to conquer the Xing Yao Federation and occupy the Tian Yuan Realm?"
"In my opinion, it is not."
Elder Nether Spring smiled bitterly, with intense desperation in his smile. "Both the Blood Demon Sector and the Tian Yuan Realm are just two barren Sectors at the edge of the cosmos. There are plenty of Sectors that are more powerful than the Blood Demon Sector and the Heaven's Origin Sector!
"As early as ten thousand years ago, the rise of the Star Ocean Imperium completely cut off the fate of the demon race. Although the Star Ocean Imperium fell apart after that, since the human race had been revived, the demon race had no chance to make a comeback.
"Right now, most of the three thousand Sectors must be occupied by human beings. Chances are that they have congregated into a country a hundred times more powerful than the Xing Yao Federation!
"Do you understand now? The war between the Blood Demon Sector and the Tian Yuan Realm. It is just a 'storm in a nutshell'. It is not worth mentioning at all on a larger scale.
"Even if we do conquer the Tian Yuan Realm, in the eyes of the powerful countries at the center of the cosmos, it is just an insignificant little country. It's just an insignificant little Yao Kingdom. "
"Maybe, as long as the superpowers sneeze softly, we will be blown into smithereens!
"If I only focused on the war between the Blood Demon Sector and the Tian Yuan Realm, I might have been able to summon the courage to win the war. I would have risked everything to win the war.
"However, when I set my eyes on the vaster universe, although my heart was in agony, I still believed in my belief.
"The tide of the universe is overwhelming. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who defy it will perish!
"The demon race will fail, and human beings will win. This is the tide of the universe that nobody can stop!"
The Fire Ant was deeply awed by Elder Nether Spring's cold conclusion. He was dazed for a long time before he said, "Even if there are more powerful countries of human beings at the center of the cosmos, I'm afraid that it will take them hundreds of years to expand their forces to the edge of the cosmos. By then …"
"You are wrong."
Elder Nether Spring interrupted him coldly. "They are already here."
"What!"
The Fire Ant's eyes bulged.
"According to the top-secret intelligence we received, the Tian Yuan Realm has reached out to another Sector that is completely under the control of human beings," Elder Nether Spring said. "Although we don't know the civilization of the other Sector yet, it is obvious that they boast the ability of super long-distance space jump.
"It means that we are now faced with the threat of two worlds of human beings. Even though the mysterious new world does not have much more advanced technology than the Star Glory Federation, a few Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators that have been teleported over will be enough to change the outcome of a battle!
"Is the Blood Demon Sector enough to defeat two Sectors? Besides, who knows if there are only two of them? Chances are that more Sectors will discover us one after another. "
The Fire Ant was lost for words.
"Now, you understand why I didn't help the Blade of Chaos," Elder Nether Spring said softly. "It's because everything you have done is meaningless."
The Fire Ant gnashed his teeth. "What do you want exactly, brother?"
"I want to find a way out for all the demons, silver-blood and chaotic-blood alike," Elder Nether Spring said gloomily.

The third chapter is on point. Ho ho!
By the way, I read a book friend's comment today that the strength and the experts of the Blood Demon Sector are much higher than those of the Tian Yuan Realm. Why are the two parties so evenly matched?
According to the old bull, firstly, ten years ago, the wormhole between the two parties was too small for the high-level demons and the powerful devilish warships to travel to the Tian Yuan Realm.
More importantly, Li Yao was merely in the Refinement Stage at that time. Even when he left the Tian Yuan Realm, he was only in the Building Foundation Stage. The biggest project that he had been involved in was the 'Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit Project', which was the MP Crystal Suit. How could he have gotten acquainted with the real super experts? The Xing Yao Federation would not have told him any top-secret plans, either.
But right now, Li Yao had reached the level close to the Yuanying Sector. Naturally, he was able to participate in the explorations and competitions of a higher level. Naturally, the people he knew were different.
