"But Zi Ji is right as well. Star Dou Forest will never accept a slow death. If there is no better solution, then Star Dou Forest's destruction is merely a matter of whether it comes in this millennium or the next."
"That may be an extremely long time for you humans, but to soul beasts, there is no difference at all. Rather than that, a Holy War that stakes the entirety of Star Dou Forest is not an unacceptable choice."
Di Tian's meaning was clear. He acknowledged that Star Dou Forest had been the ultimate loser in this Beast Tide, but if Shrek could not provide a solution, Star Dou Forest could ensure that this war would have more than one loser.
Rather than wait until the Human World had developed enough to flatten Star Dou Forest in a one-sided victory, Di Tian could at least choose to turn the number of losers from one to two right now.
As soon as Di Tian said this, although the Elders of Sea God Pavilion showed little change in expression, they all instinctively looked toward Chen Ping.
Di Tian was absolutely right. The Soul Beast World had launched the Beast Tide because the survival crisis had driven them to make one desperate last stand. They had long prepared themselves for the possibility of being completely shattered.
If withdrawing this time would grant Star Dou Forest only a thousand years of respite, then dragging the Human World down to hell with them now was not an unacceptable answer.
Once the Fierce Beasts of Star Dou Forest were convinced that their need for security could no longer be guaranteed, no matter who ruled Star Dou Forest, they would not hesitate to unleash a Beast Tide to avoid the tragedy of being slowly boiled alive.
