Ah Qi vanished in a flash, then reappeared just as suddenly, seemingly with a lot more snacks and melon seeds.

They seem to be very serious about listening to the story.

Liu Yun: ...What kind of system is this? It actually requires me to disappear before it can conjure things up?

Aren't they all just data?

It's surprisingly ceremonial.

Na Yu wanted to laugh, but she tried her best to remain calm and pretended to ignore it.

What I originally intended to gloss over, I added a few more words: "At the beginning, it was just a conflict between two groups of people, and the fighting was relatively restrained."

"Later, I don't know how, someone from the other side did something underhanded, and our people were hit. But they managed to defend themselves, and although they were injured, they didn't die and started making a fuss."

"Once they got angry, they became more and more ruthless. Our spells were more powerful than theirs, and their defenses... to be honest, weren't very good."

"Without realizing it, they suffered casualties."

"In the end, someone with a very special status died, and the other party just exploded like that."

"Not only were they hesitant to act for fear of harming the innocent, but they also went mad and chose to perish together with the innocent."

“We certainly can’t just take it. Fighting back means someone will inevitably die. If too many people die, both sides will start calling for reinforcements.”

"As time went on, more and more people got involved, and everyone seemed to be in a frenzy..."

The friendly forces and the enemy forces are truly like natural enemies, belonging to different species, naturally hostile, and almost always helping their own side without asking why.

They fought with passion, boosted national self-confidence, and demonstrated that unity is strength.

Regardless of past grievances, they will unite against a common enemy on the battlefield.

Na Yu sighed, "Gradually, it seems that the other side has developed the idea of ​​spying on our world, and seems to want to dominate our world."

"We don't really think much of them, and that's how it is... different goals lead to different processes and outcomes."

Liu Yun rarely interrupted, saying, "Wait a minute, didn't they say they cultivate elemental power, while our ancestors cultivated spiritual energy?"

"The structures of these two seem to be quite different!"

The simplest and most direct point is that elemental power has different attributes, but spiritual energy does not.

The Western cultivation system involves directly absorbing the elemental power of the attribute one needs, while cultivators absorb spiritual energy and then transform it into cultivation level.

The most basic ability of spiritual roots is to transform spiritual energy into spiritual power of the attribute one needs.

In short, they may seem similar, but their underlying principles are actually quite different.

He agreed wholeheartedly, not at all surprised. It was no wonder that this person knew or guessed: "Yes, it's different."

Liu Yun: "Then why are they coveting the world of cultivators?"

"Could it be just because of rare and precious herbs?"

Na Yu said, "That's really how it is. It's just invasion and colonization. Why would they care about the world's energy structure? Those rare and precious materials, crafting weapons and medicines, are just alchemy to them. They are very inspiring and helpful to them."

"Since we've already started fighting, it's normal to want some spoils of war, so setting a goal for ourselves is perfectly reasonable."

Liu Yun suddenly realized, "So that's how it is—the mentality of a predator."

Regardless of whether we can actually use it, getting our hands on it first is the most important thing.

Just like how the angels were willing to spend so much time and resources to open a time tunnel, the most useful thing to them in this world is probably faith in truth; everything else is rubbish.

The reason they went to great lengths to come here, besides wanting to suppress the enemy, was also due to the possessiveness of outsiders.

Of course, this is the result of the analysis.

Anyway, for someone like Liu Yun, who's a laid-back person who only cares about making a living and has no desire to possess anything outside the city, and only wants to defend the city, this kind of thinking and passion is incomprehensible.

The cost was too high, with no real benefits.

Na Yu sighed, "It can be said that the longer this battle goes on, the stronger the enemy's desire becomes. It has developed into a fight to the death, regardless of any casualties."

"The place where we fought back then has gradually developed into the front line of the battle, the dividing line between the two sides."

"After that, regular military forces gradually began to be stationed in that place. However, both sides are intelligent beings with brains, otherwise they could not have kept fighting."

"It presents a long-term confrontation between the two armies."

"By this point, no one remembers why they started fighting in the first place."

"If I weren't one of the parties involved, I certainly wouldn't know why things developed this way. I would have thought they were natural enemies!"

Liu Yun's expression was slightly strange: "Speaking of which, whose home is your battlefield closer to?"

Have you ever met angels before?

Na Yu said, "I haven't met him, but others have, though we rarely have any connection."

"Furthermore, we will not bring other races into our world; this is an unspoken understanding between worlds."

Liu Yun: "Is it possible that the place where you started the battle was actually very close to the angels' headquarters?"

"Do they only become so nervous and possessive as the scale of the war grows larger?"

"I have a feeling they're deliberately trying to divert your attention by covering up the fact that they're at headquarters."

Na Yu's eyes lit up; she truly lived up to her reputation.

Of course, some of them with high combat talent and amazing tactical talent also made this guess, but after many years and many forces failed to find the angels' stronghold, some people began to doubt this guess.

She hadn't expected that Liu Yun would make such a guess just by hearing the story.

Indeed, there are differences in thinking between people.

"Some people do think that's true. After all, when it comes to conspiracies, we seem to be more adept than them."

"Their transformation was so abrupt, and their behavior was so obviously strange, that's why some people made this guess."

"However, we searched for many years and spent a lot of money, resources and manpower but still couldn't find it, so we started to doubt this guess."

"Plus, they were pretty crazy, and we needed to spend more effort dealing with them, so we gradually gave up on this path."

Liu Yun: "...If they were going crazy, shouldn't it be that you're about to reach their base?"

"Those who are provoked, I believe, no one wants the battlefield to shift to their own base camp."

Na Yu nodded: "That's true, but we really haven't found it yet. There are no clues at all. We've spent a lot of money but haven't gotten any results, so naturally many people are objecting."

"This work probably can't continue."

Liu Yun scrutinized the words, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "How many of the original participants in this incident are still alive?"

Na Yu's voice was clearly filled with guilt, "There aren't many left. Originally, there were more than thirty of us, but after we were forced to enter this world, there are fewer than a handful."

"Indeed, many people have lost their lives in this war."
