The chaotic years came quickly and ended even faster. At the end of the ninth month of this year, the seeds of rebellion were crushed in the ground.
Apart from the dried corpses hanging at the city gates, the number of applications from outsiders decreased by 36%, and the passing rate decreased by 50%, there didn't seem to be much of a difference.
Those who wanted to play continued to play, those who wanted to cause trouble, and those who wanted to party continued. Even if there were people shouting for them to be more serious, we were in a time of crisis, a time of war, and even if there really was a war next door, none of this seemed to have anything to do with the people of the Harlet Wastelands.
However, some things were quietly changing.
"… The average lifespan of the Ximores has decreased from 1500 years to 200 to 300 years. Soon, there will be a large number of elderly people."
"They probably haven't realized it yet. The fundamental change is a change in their DNA, but this won't last for long."
"The birth rate has increased. According to the feedback from the major hospitals, a conservative estimate is that it has increased by more than ten times. We need to make various preparations to deal with the population explosion."
"The potential of the species has increased, and their learning talents have obviously increased. Is this a change from the long-lived species to the short-lived species?"
"Their resistance to lightning has decreased, and their natural ability to control lightning has also weakened. A few great warlocks and shamans are showing obvious signs of aging and decreasing in power level, and their average combat strength has decreased slightly. However, on the other side of the decrease in lifespan, the cells of the young and middle-aged are changing faster. Their metabolism has obviously increased, and their cell regeneration abilities are also stronger. To put it bluntly, the appearance of great warriors has greatly increased. "
"… Is this a gift from the Lord of Life, or a curse?"
"Don't think too much about it. This is the result of the world's version update. The incubated world is unable to bear and doesn't need so many long-lived species. For the natural cycle, dragging on undying and not producing is just a waste of resources. A large-scale adjustment is only a matter of time. However, due to the existence of dimensional wars, the world urgently needs to produce enough resistance, which speeds up the rate of evolution, making everything so obvious. "
Rorschach's words were a conclusion, but in reality, what he gave was the answer, the truth of what was happening in this world.
As the Lord of Life, he had seen and learned many things. Basically, most species such as Aishi and Ansorenne weren't secrets to him. As a youth who had grasped the power of life, he could actually do many things.
For example, he could learn from the other two Elemental Children and create a race of cannon fodder that had extremely strong reproductive abilities, extremely short lifespans, and was born to fight. This was also the request that many Aishi leaders had for him.
But in the end, he gave up on this idea.
"If an intelligent race was born to become someone else's weapon, that would be too sad. Furthermore, such unnatural lifeforms violated the laws of life, and would soon be rectified by the world. If you don't fix it, hehe, it will be even worse. "
Through the eyes of fate, I could almost see that this world was covered by these short-lived warring races. Their powerful evolutionary abilities and unstoppable fertility made all the invaders and natives taste the "domination and control of humans".
Those who were obsessed with fate would become the plaything of fate. Those who toyed with life would be toyed with by life.
Having authority didn't mean that he could do whatever he wanted. After much deliberation, Rorschach decided to give up on this authority.
However, he still carried out part of the duties of the God of Life through the connection between the twins. For example, the treatment of the Ximo people wasn't an exception. In fact, it was the result of him secretly giving them preferential treatment.
"More than 70% of the lifeforms are long-lived species that are more than 500 years old. This long natural cycle is impossible for the world to bear."
The laws of life sped up all of this. They would age faster, grow faster, and replace faster. More new generation experts would be born in the next hundred years. Those so-called old experts who were stuck at a bottleneck but had a large amount of resources would have everything taken away by their rapidly aging bodies.
Was it cruel? Extremely cruel.
Was it fair? It wasn't fair at all.
But … this was life.
But to the entire planet and the entire world, your race was a parasite that lived on it. Life and death absorbed its own nutrients and consumed its own resources. Perhaps it would be better if all of them were gone. For the new God of Life to be able to obtain such a reward from the negotiations with the world was already not bad.
Rorschach was still a little afraid after sitting in that position. If not for the timely arrival of the God of Life, the other party's lifespan would have been reduced to about 50 years. The adult Ximo people would have all died of old age within 3 years, and the entire Halet Wasteland would have become a true wasteland of death.
In a sense, this was the meaning of the existence of the holder of the Divine Title. The world didn't have a self, and its consciousness was selfish to the extreme. If there was no channel to communicate with it and give it suggestions that could be accepted, the situation could easily develop towards the world and cause all intelligent creatures to die.
On the other hand, the negotiations between the Aishi and Ansorenne were too high-level. Rorschach only had the authority to look through them, and most of their suggestions were rejected.
To put it bluntly, with the connection of the River Styx and the union of the elemental laws, the two worlds were gradually beginning to unite. The first was indeed the so-called "most favored nation/most favored race problem."
"My family is too poor. My mother doesn't even want to raise her own children, much less other people's children."
This was probably the closest way to describe it.
In the Aishi, you were an elf who reached adulthood at 200 years old. You could live up to 500 to 800 years old. If you were strong enough, you could live up to 2000 years old … but here, you would die of old age at 200 years old!
This collision of natural laws was an unreasonable mechanical run-in. The laws of life and the brand of race were repeatedly running-in on the world tree of the two worlds. The Aishi's God of Nature and Ansorenne's God of Life could only watch from the sidelines … or at least, that was what they said.
Considering that both sides were staunchly anti-elven … yep, that's right, the victims were the elves.
After the incident, the elves and the Elven Gods sent out an open letter that didn't contain any profanities but was filled with malicious greetings … fine, to be direct, the only large-scale victims in this world were the elves. Their hands that reached out to Ansorenne were viciously chopped off. Who didn't want to live longer? For a moment, even Ansorenne had a large-scale return of elves.
Although there were many problems, there was no doubt that the new species with shorter lifespans, stronger vitality (their cells were rapidly dividing), stronger reproductive abilities, and stronger learning abilities were more suitable for the upcoming war. The laws of life were also in line with Ansorenne's own expectations. The cycle of reincarnation began to operate again.
