Doubtful?
Lu An's heart tightened as he sensed that things were not as simple as they seemed. He quickly asked, "What happened?"
Fu Yu looked at Lu An and continued, "After Sengoku became the leader, they unified their civilization for the sake of better and smoother human development. Sengoku did not forcefully wipe out other human civilizations. Instead, they allowed all human tribes to retain their own civilization, but they had to learn and master Sengoku's civilization. This way, the entire tribe would have a common civilization, and they would be able to develop quickly in an external environment where other exotic beasts were competing with each other.
"There was no doubt that this was the right thing to do. Because they did not deny the existence of other civilizations, and because Sengoku was the one who saved humanity, everyone agreed to this point. Reality proved that Sengoku's civilization was not just a little bit ahead of the other tribes, but a world of difference. Compared to the civilizations that had emerged from thousands of years of struggle, the other human civilizations were basically no different from dross, and there was no value in continuing to exist. Soon, all humans learned Sengoku's civilization and forgot their original civilization, mainly in terms of writing, etiquette, and law. Especially under the constraints of etiquette and law, it became a common practice for humans in just a hundred years, and it was engraved in their hearts. "
As she spoke, Fu Yu paused and said, "The language we use now is the language of Sengoku back in the day, and there is almost no difference. The same goes for etiquette and law. Even though Sengoku was shut down by the Hachiko clan, their civilization did not change. "
Lu An nodded vigorously and listened intently.
"After human civilization was unified, the next problem was development. Sengoku's cultivation method came from their bloodline, and it was not suitable for other tribes. Each tribe needed to find their own cultivation method. In the past, because they did not have their own civilization, and because they were enslaved, they could not find their own cultivation method. However, after these conditions were met, many tribes successfully found their own power. With the emergence of different powers, coupled with human intelligence, the speed of human development far exceeded the records of any exotic beasts in history, and they quickly formed a huge force. "
When Lu An heard this, he vaguely sensed where the problem lay.
"I've said it before. Humans are very fertile. They can even survive the period of being enslaved, let alone when they're safe." Fu Yu said, "Soon, the expansion of human development made the territory very crowded, leading to a gradual decline in the quality of life. On the other hand, the human race's strength is rapidly increasing. This means … the human race needs more land. "
"At this stage, only 500,000 years have passed since Sengoku saved humanity. According to the agreement signed between Sengoku and the forces represented by the Dragons, the size of the human territory was fixed, and was already equivalent to the size of a normal territory. At that time, the term of the agreement was a million years. Although five hundred thousand years have passed, and the humans, Dragons, and all the other strange beasts have changed generations, the agreement is still in effect. "
Lu An frowned and said, "Someone wants to break the contract and expand the territory?"
"That's right," Fu Yu said, "but it's not someone from Sengoku, but someone outside Sengoku. Sengoku abides by their ancestral teachings and has no intention of breaking the contract. However, outside Sengoku, this idea is very common, even rampant. Under such circumstances, many powerful human tribes have begun to advise Sengoku, hoping that Sengoku can change the situation and expand human territory. "
"…"
As expected, Lu An's frown deepened.
"Sengoku naturally doesn't want to break the contract, and in the face of the increasing human population, Sengoku has to come up with its own solution. Sengoku's proposal is controversial, and it's … birth control. "
As soon as she said this, Lu An's body shook, and shock appeared in his eyes. He obviously didn't expect Sengoku to come up with such a proposal!
"Sengoku believes that the best way to solve the problem is to solve the problem at its roots." Fu Yu said, "Humans have too many children. On average, a wife will give birth to four to five children, and the strong have more children. Sengoku wants to reduce this number to two children. When Sengoku proposed this idea, it was immediately opposed by all the powerful tribes. "
"These tribes all want to become stronger, and they can't wait to have more children to strengthen their forces. How could they be willing to reduce the number of children so quickly? Before this plan was implemented, these tribes had already expressed their opposition. However, as long as they don't violate the agreement and allow humans to develop more harmoniously, Sengoku still forcefully issued this order. "
Lu An's heart sank. He could imagine the turmoil that would occur if such an order was issued.
"Sengoku issued the order and set an example." Fu Yu said, "Or rather, Sengoku has always done this, and no one can have more than two children. This is actually one of Sengoku's rules. After thousands of years of fighting, Sengoku has a lot of experience in passing down the bloodline. Sengoku believes that if a strong person has more than two children, the bloodline of the children born later will become thinner and thinner. If a thinner bloodline appears in a tribe, it will definitely be paired with other tribes to give birth to children. Even if the paired tribe has pure bloodline, the child's bloodline will be greatly affected. "
"Sengoku believes that the continuation of a tribe doesn't depend on quantity, but on quality. A large number will affect the overall decision and create a burden, so Sengoku has always strictly controlled the number of people. Because of this, after five hundred thousand years, although Sengoku's overall population has not changed, and the other large tribes far outnumber Sengoku, Sengoku's strength is still unshakable, especially in terms of the number of strong people, which other tribes can't compare to. In the past five hundred thousand years, many powerful tribes have appeared and disappeared, and this is actually related to the continuous thinning of the bloodline. "
After hearing this, Lu An frowned and asked doubtfully, "Sengoku didn't tell this to the other tribes?"
"They did." Fu Yu said softly, "When Sengoku liberated humans and gathered them in their territory, they had already shared this experience with the world. Sengoku is very selfless in sharing this experience, but the problem is that these tribes don't believe it. "
"…"
Lu An's heart was heavy. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
"They believe that the disappearance of the large tribes in the past was due to various complicated internal and external reasons, and not purely a matter of bloodline inheritance. Although Sengoku has always been like this, every tribe's bloodline is different, and Sengoku may not be suitable for other tribes. On the contrary, they believe that Sengoku wants to use this method to control the growth of other tribes, and achieve the goal of becoming the leader of mankind forever. The human heart is not what it used to be, and there has never been a lack of sinister people. After Sengoku's order was issued, there was a lot of resentment, and many large tribes banded together to oppose it, which put a lot of pressure on Sengoku. "
"Then what do we do?" Lu An frowned and asked, "Did Sengoku do anything to them?"
"Of course not." Fu Yu said, "They can't go against the agreement, and they don't want to do anything to humans. Sengoku's choice is to negotiate with the Dragons, to see if they can modify the agreement and expand human territory. However, the Dragons and other exotic beast tribes are naturally unwilling, and they can't wait to see the human race become stronger and stronger every day. In the face of the Dragons' refusal, Sengoku can only abide by the agreement and continue to persuade the large tribes. "
"However, the conflict has reached a point where it is impossible to persuade them. However, these tribes don't have the guts to do anything to Sengoku, nor do they have the strength to do so, so the large tribes discussed in private and made a decision together. Therefore, about a month later, without notifying Sengoku, these large tribes banded together and mobilized their armies to attack outside of their territory. "
Lu An clenched his fists and asked, "And then? How did the battle go? "
"At the beginning, they did win one after another." Fu Yu said, "But this is because outside of human territory, most of the land is uninhabited. The strange beasts that gather there are also very weak, so they are not a match for them. However, this is the first time they have left their territory on such a large scale, and they mistakenly believe that their own strength is so strong, and the exotic beasts outside are so weak. Therefore, they completely disregarded Sengoku's obstruction and continued to lead their armies to attack further away, all the way to … another overlord's territory. "
"…" Lu An frowned and asked, "What was the result?"
"A crushing defeat." Fu Yu said, "The allied forces of these large tribes are no match for the overlords."
