The competitors had already been confirmed.
Ye Zichen couldn't help but squint his eyes when he saw the preparation notification.
In truth, it wasn't that fast.
It had already been several days since he'd been confirmed to be on the attacking side of the Sacred Region's cosmic nations.
Logically speaking, the attacking and defending side should've been chosen at the same time.
It had already been several days. Ye Zichen actually felt like the Ancestral Dragon Clan's efficiency was rather average.
They just didn't know yet.
Who would be on the defending side?
The email didn't announce it. Could it be that it was to prevent some sort of private transaction from ruining the fairness of the trial?
Ye Zichen didn't think that was possible.
He didn't have too good of a relationship with anyone in the universe.
Of all the trial takers, only Ye Sheng got along well with Ye Zichen, but they weren't particularly close.
As for the others, not only did Her Majesty of the Virtual World Corporation hate him to the bone, she wasn't too friendly with Zu Ying.
As for the others, there was no need to even mention them.
The Universe Mercenary Alliance, gladiator arena, and their Majesty would love nothing more than to kill him.
That was probably the case.
The Cangyue Galaxy was their daddy. Whatever Cangyue Star Lord told them to do, they'd do it.
Ye Zichen was still worried.
He didn't know how much he'd be ostracized by the time he got to the Ancestral Dragon Clan.
That was why private transactions were definitely out of the question.
Ye Zichen's impression of the Ancestral Dragon Clan was pretty terrible. He didn't care what they were like, he just felt like there was something wrong with them.
Something very serious.
If he wasn't mistaken, they might be in cahoots with the Cangyue Galaxy.
Going there was definitely a tiger's den or a dragon's den.
His danger level was full stars.
Ye Zichen took a deep breath, then logged out of the virtual network.
When his eyes regained their liveliness, he saw many curious and inquisitive gazes.
"The trial is about to begin. There's still four hours to prepare."
Zhao Xin shrugged.
"Are we going to fight?"
Meng Luo pursed her lips, then subconsciously glanced at the injured. "Are they going to fight as well?"
"Definitely."
The Milky Way Galaxy's army was still on the way.
It would take them quite some time to get here.
If the Sacred Region people didn't participate, then there was no need to fight at all. They could just surrender.
They hadn't even fought yet. Just their numbers alone were enough to crush Ye Zichen and the others.
"Alright."
Meng Luo's head drooped, and there was an indescribable sense of dejection on her face.
She was very kind at heart.
She liked adventures, but that was because she had been bound to the family for too long. She was full of curiosity towards the outside world, but the adventure she looked forward to was definitely not this kind of bloody adventure.
She wanted everyone to live well.
However, to be honest, this kind of thinking was too naive.
He reached out and patted Meng Luo's little head. It didn't matter if she couldn't accept these things now. She would naturally get used to it after seeing more of them.
No one likes war.
But when the war came knocking on their door, all they could do was face it.
In the future, she would also become the clan leader, and the entire clan's lifeline would be in her hands.
If she remained as merciful as she was now, she would be cruel to her family.
Perhaps Meng Luo's family was trying to change her way of thinking.
That's why he chose to let her out.
Seeing more of the outside world made her realize how cruel the outside world was.
"Lady, are you sad for us?"
Niu Mang smiled. "If that's the case, then there's no need. As a warrior, dying on the battlefield is our greatest glory.
For our home, for our family, we are willing to sacrifice our lives. "
"But you will die," Meng Luo muttered.
"Death isn't scary.
What's scary is dying for no reason, "Niu Mang looked up at the outside world.
Niu Mang lifted his head to look at the world outside. He looked at the Sanctuary warriors who were on the verge of death but still stood strong. "This is our choice, and we've never felt that it was wrong!"
All of a sudden, the expressions of Meng Luo and co. changed.
They truly saw a fearless spirit from Niu Mang's expression.
Compared to them, Ye Zichen and Su Liu 'er were a lot calmer. They had seen this sort of scene, this sort of person, this sort of thing far too many times.
Just as Meng Luo was about to argue, she suddenly felt someone smack her head.
She looked up at Ye Zichen, and saw his warm smile.
"Meng Luo, you'll understand in the future."
"Actually, you can put yourself in their shoes and think about it. What would you do if your family was invaded?"
This question wasn't just for Meng Luo, it was for everyone else.
What should they do in the face of invasion?
Raise the white flag and surrender?
Or fight to the death and protect their family's glory?
They all had an answer in their hearts, and it was definitely the latter.
"But why do humans have to fight? Aren't we all humans? Shouldn't our enemies be the races from the Outside?"
Meng Luo's eyes were filled with confusion and confusion. "Why do humans have to kill each other? Is that good for anyone?
Moreover, in order to stabilize the safety of the human race, we have spent countless resources and the lives of heroes to achieve the current peace. Why do we have to destroy it now? "
"You're not wrong."
Ye Zichen agreed with Meng Luo's reasoning.
Infighting.
No one wanted to see such an outcome.
Yearning for peace was also something that every human race desired. The enemies of the human race were indeed those alien races with ulterior motives. They had always wanted to destroy the human race and plunder the human planets.
"But you should know that not everyone is as kind as you," said Ye Zichen quietly.
"You like peace, and you're right. Our enemies are the other races.
But we've been at peace for far too long. Hidden beneath this peace is bound to be chaos. This is inevitable, and unavoidable. "
"Why?"
Meng Luo didn't understand.
"Because of greed and desire."
Before Ye Zichen could respond, Su Liu 'er crossed her arms and walked up to him.
"Little girl, your words reveal far too much of your naivety.
I can see that you are a very well protected treasure.
But you have to know that human desires can never be satisfied. "
"Desire?"
Meng Luo muttered to herself.
"That's right, desire!"
Ye Zichen nodded. "When outsiders invade us, we have to work together to defend against them.
But once it was over, our enemies naturally became our former compatriots.
Humanity has always been a strange thing. It can never be satisfied.
Long-term peace brings with it human desires. When a person's strength increases, but what they have isn't enough to satisfy their desires, then …. War comes! "
