Chapter 108: Battle, Questioning

[When you first encountered these strange-looking guys, you didn't pay much attention to them, just thinking they were some special stupid monsters. ]

[But as the contacts became more and more frequent, you were surprised to find that they were not idiots, but two other civilized races similar to the Phoenix Clan...]

[The opponent's strength and wisdom are not inferior to the Phoenix Clan, which shocked you and you quickly communicated with him.]

[Like the Phoenix Clan, both of them have their own civilizations, ethics, and languages. Even their expansion methods are the same as the Phoenix Clan, using blood to enlighten the wisdom of wild beasts, but the Qilin Clan enlightens the beasts, while the Dragon Clan enlightens the scales and aquatic creatures.]

[What makes you most suspicious is that these two tribes also have their own creation myths. However, their ancient gods of creation are a huge dragon and a huge unicorn. Even their tribe leaders claim that they are the children of the ancient gods of creation and are destined to unify the world...]

[Phoenix Clan: …]

[Dragon Clan: …]

[Qilin tribe: …]

[Who copied whom, or the three just happened to think of the same thing... It's not important anymore. What's important is that when the three met, their respective theories of unifying the ancient world had already collapsed! ]

[You hurriedly flew back to the southern volcano, reported this frightening incident to the ancestral phoenix, which was comfortably breathing in the earth's fire energy in the crater, and asked it blankly whether its theory was still reliable? ]

【Zu Feng: ……】

【Kids, this is all fake! 】

【Zu Feng declared righteously: Those two companies said all fake news, how could I possibly deceive you? 】

[“What about the Dragon Clan and the Qilin Clan?”]

[Faced with doubts, Zu Feng was sweating profusely in secret, but on the surface he acted righteous and upright: "They are lying to you! They want to destroy the unity of the Phoenix Clan. Don't fall for their tricks!"]

[“I am the incarnation of the essence of the God of Creation! The Chosen One! You have my blood, so it is naturally your destiny!”]

[Zu Feng first earnestly tried to reassure you, and then angrily rebuked those filthy descendants of the Outer Gods: How dare you plagiarize my authentic creation myth! These are no longer ordinary descendants of the Outer Gods, and must be dealt with severely! ]

[So Zufeng gave an order, and all the Phoenix tribes entered into combat mode, beating up those two groups of long insects and cattle and horses that were talking nonsense! ]

[The first war between the three tribes is about to begin...]

[When the war started, countless slaves started fighting first. From the initial test to the real chaos, the three parties fought each other to the point of bloodshed. As the ancient barbaric wilderness rose to the flames of civilization, it also ushered in the first disaster of war.]

[You and your fellow tribesmen who received the Phoenix Blood to open their minds, even their spiritual wisdom was opened by it, so naturally they all look up to the Ancestral Phoenix. Even though their worldviews were severely shaken by the sudden appearance of the Dragon Clan and the Qilin Clan, they still chose to trust the Ancestral Phoenix unconditionally.]

[Of course, in addition to believing because of the three views, the bigger reason is the benefits. ]

[In the countless years of the Phoenix Clan's development, these local tyrants have enjoyed the taste of power for the first time, and it is out of control: countless slaves serve them, whoever they want to die will die, and whoever they want to do will do whatever they want. This is even more enjoyable than practicing! ]

[Slaves, territory, power... these things that fascinate birds are now all theirs, so even if Zufeng has been lying to everyone, it doesn't matter. For the sake of vested interests, they are willing to fight for a lie with all their strength...]

【And you...are like an alien who doesn't fit in. 】

[Your wisdom was not bestowed by Zu Feng. The reason you followed Zu Feng was simply because you wanted to play with everyone. You like to listen to Zu Feng telling stories and teaching knowledge with everyone, but it does not mean that you will obey Zu Feng's words. ]

[Ever since it explained the myth of the creation of the universe, you have always had doubts about it: Is the god of creation really a bird? ]

[Is Zufeng really the essence of the God of Creation? Is she his daughter? ]

[Are those non-bird races really the descendants of the so-called foreign evil gods? ]

[You have many doubts about Zu Feng, but you cannot verify these things yourself. After all, you are not born sacred. You were born too late and your experience is extremely limited...]

[However, these doubts are not enough to make you betray it, because although your wisdom is not opened by it, your knowledge is taught by it. Out of instinctive respect, you will not easily become disloyal. ] [Besides, there is one most important point: you are also a member of its interest group! ]

[As a vested interest, your absolute power in the territory is brought by Zufeng, so to ensure its authority is to safeguard your own interests.]

[No matter how you question Zu Feng, these tangible benefits will make you shut up...]

[“Then fight!”]

[At your command, all the Phoenix slaves in the territory went to the front line and fought fiercely with the Dragon and Kirin slaves.]

[The war is getting bigger and bigger, and slaves are constantly dying in the war! ]

[But perhaps the matching mechanism is too good. The three parties fought for a long time, but did not gain any benefits. The battle line was not promoted at all, let alone completely defeating the opponent...]

[If you can’t beat the lower level, then switch to the middle level! ]

[The second generation warriors of the Phoenix Clan, including you, rushed to the battlefield and used their absolute strength to kill a large number of the enemy's lower-level slaves. The enemy followed suit, and the second generation warriors of the Dragon Clan and the Qilin Clan also crushed the lower-level slaves of the other two clans.]

[The mountains and rivers changed color, the sun and moon lost their light, millions of corpses were buried, and blood flowed for thousands of miles...]

【"I……"】

[In the long tug-of-war, your cultivation level has become higher and higher, but you have also seen life and death. You have watched with your own eyes as familiar slaves fell on the battlefield, and they paid the price of their lives, but received nothing in return.]

[You begin to feel confused and seriously reflect on whether your behavior is correct: "Unintelligent beasts die if they die, but after they become intelligent, what is the difference between them and me?"]

[“Although they are slaves, they are also fellow creatures with thoughts and feelings…”]

[Feeling really bad, you couldn't help but find Zu Feng. Although you have always questioned what it said, it is still the one you trust the most.]

[“Chief, I think war is not a good thing…”]

[Your hesitation surprised Zufeng, but after thinking about it, it decided to encourage you: "I know you are kind... but the war between the three tribes is inevitable. If you want to avoid war, you can only eliminate all enemies!"]

[“We must wipe out all the dragons and Qilins without leaving a single one alive. We are the only legitimate ones in the world!”]

[The proud ancestor phoenix once again proved to you his nobility, and used the bird god's creation of the world as evidence to prove in detail the legitimacy and necessity of the phoenix clan's rule over the wild world. He also used the theory of foreign evil gods as a theoretical basis to show you how dirty and despicable the dragon clan and the unicorn clan are.]

[“We must kill all of this lowly race! All of them! Not a single one will be left alive!”]

[Ancestor Phoenix's eyes glowed as he tried to depict a bright future where the Phoenix Clan would rule the wild world...]

【All? No one left?】

[You think of the countless dragon and unicorn slaves who died and were injured on the battlefield. They are afraid and cry... They should not be the enemies of the Phoenix Clan. Even if they are enemies, they should be the ancestors of the two families, not the innocent ones! ]

[Every time you think back to that miserable battlefield, you feel extremely uncomfortable. Every scream is so clear, and every corpse is so hideous...]

[Under the combined control of thousands of thoughts, you finally mustered up the courage and said those words to Zu Feng righteously.]

[“Chief, I don’t think they are the descendants of some evil god, but ordinary creatures like us!”]

【“This war is meaningless!”】

[Zu Feng was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became gloomy...]
