The Truth of the Universe
"In Human Race, there are two types of people: those who enjoy resources and those who can contribute resources."
"All ordinary humans and Immortal God are beneficiaries of resources. Ordinary humans can enjoy peace and stability. Immortal God who excel can receive guidance and instruction from super-powerful beings, and even be bestowed with treasures. They are all beneficiaries of resources!"
"Once you join the ranks of the universe's strongest and are placed in the Supreme Council, it means... you have become a backbone and middle-level member of the Human Race."
"This is an identity that involves both responsibility and obligation, especially against the backdrop of tribal warfare."
"You risk your lives to seize treasures and resources to offer to your people! Everything will be recorded in military merit points... You can also use these military merit points to exchange for any treasures and resources you need."
"Venerable Huan Shi Lu Yan'an, the moment you joined the Supreme Council... you lost the quota of resources that came with your genius status! From this moment on, you are also one of the super strong individuals of our Human Race. You are fully capable of making huge contributions to our Human Race and can exchange your military merits for the resources and treasures you need."
Lu Yan'an looked at the two documents. They were all about the situation of this inter-clan war and mobilization for battle. Of course, for the strong, this inter-clan war was indeed the best way to obtain Supreme Treasure. Of course, inter-clan wars were an exception, since even Universe Overlord faced the risk of falling in that godforsaken place.
A document on tribal warfare, and a detailed explanation of military merit points. Clearly, only newcomers to the meeting, like Lu Yan'an who was joining the Supreme Council for the first time, would receive this detailed explanation of "military merit points."
"Military merit points?" Lu Yan'an sighed softly. These "military merit points" were like a devil, madly tempting most of the strong individuals at the lower and middle levels. The essence of inter-clan wars was attrition—consuming the excess productivity within each major race! Given the current size of the Human Race, if they were allowed to reproduce without restraint, the resources of the Universe Country in these 1008 star sectors would likely be insufficient to sustain their population. Only by controlling the population problem could development be sustainable. This was a tacit understanding among the Four Peak Races.
"Yes."
"If the population of an entire race continues to expand, no matter how many resources there are, they will eventually run out. The essence of plunder is development, and it is also the cause of war." Only now did Lu Yan'an truly understand the truth of the universe. If one cannot possess endless resources, then one can only reduce the consumption of resources by life.
However, the development of a group also requires a demographic dividend. The larger the territory it occupies, the higher the upper limit of the group's lifespan. At the same time, it can continuously produce geniuses, and the number of geniuses, to some extent, represents the development of the group.
Moreover, in addition to the function of consuming population, tribal wars also have the attribute of selection! The geniuses who emerge from tribal wars are the most tenacious and vigorous fledglings. Compared to the hothouse flowers selected by the Genius Tournament, these people may not have as amazing talents, but they are definitely the group of geniuses with the highest success rate! These two different methods have constructed the overall selection system and model for the human race.
This is why inter-clan wars require the use of inter-clan star sectors as stakes. Victory not only strengthens one's own race but also indirectly weakens the enemy's—a win-win situation. And it's not just the Terrans who think this way; the Machine Race, the Zerg, and the Monster Race all consider it the same!
"Very good." Lu Yan'an said softly, "No wonder this tribal war was discussed and mobilized at the Supreme Council. From a long-term perspective, it concerns the future development of the human race."
The strong are the pillars of a group, the minimum guarantee for its continued prosperity! Population, on the other hand, is the deep-seated driving force of a group's development, determining the number of strong individuals. Without strong individuals, a group can only be constantly exploited and bullied, and without the driving force of population, a group certainly has no future. Strong individuals and population complement each other.
As all the super-strong Human Race at the Supreme Council discussed this matter endlessly, the City Lord of Chaos finally spoke again.
"There are still 100 years before the start of the inter-race war. In these 100 years, everyone can make preparations. For example, several strong individuals who can complement each other can form a team, or borrow treasures from some strong individuals who do not wish to participate in the inter-race war, etc... Prepare everything within these 100 years. In 100 years, our Human Race will begin the inter-race war with the Alien Race." With the City Lord of Chaos's calm and powerful voice, as vast as the ocean, the Supreme Council concluded.
Rumble...
The gates of the Hall of Gods opened, and almost all the Universe Venerable stood up.
"Pretty fast!" Lu Yan'an exclaimed as he stood up like the others. He saw the other Universe Venerable chatting and laughing as they walked towards the golden gate of the Hall of Gods. As soon as they stepped through the gate, they were all teleported away.
"What are you muttering to yourself over there?" Venerable Zhouguang walked over and teased.
"I'm a little surprised by how quickly the meeting started," Lu Yan'an said with a smile.
Venerable Zhouguang laughed and said, " At the Supreme Council, more than half of the meetings don't require discussion; the Universe Master simply issue notifications! Only a few matters requiring a vote will take a considerable amount of time; those without a vote take very little time! After all, the high and mighty Universe Master don't have time to waste with us or tell us too much. You must get used to this speed and efficiency; after all, we are merely executors of the Universe Master's orders."
Lu Yan'an nodded, agreeing. No wonder the efficiency was so high.
The City Lord of Chaos didn't say much, only mentioning "clan wars." Then, screens appeared in front of each Universe Venerable, describing the relevant information in great detail. The system even thoughtfully sent an extra email to each new member of the Supreme Council to explain concepts they were unfamiliar with.
"Let's go," said Venerable Zhouguang.
"Hmm." Lu Yan'an, Venerable Zhouguang, and Venerable Ganwu walked almost side by side into the golden gate of the Hall of Gods.
"Look, it's that Venerable Huan Shi."
"It's said that the Venerable Huan Shi possesses at least four Supreme Treasure." The other Universe Venerable whispered among themselves. "Do you think anyone might try to borrow one of these Supreme Treasure from him? With the Venerable Huan Shi's wealth, lending out Supreme Treasure one shouldn't be a problem for him, right?"
"Heh, lend it to me! You don't know anything! He was able to kill a Universe Overlord like Mantu Divine General with his Supreme Treasure. Do you think he would risk lending Supreme Treasure that has a crucial impact on his combat power? Moreover, based on his current strength on paper, with Supreme Treasure, he is comparable to a peak Universe Overlord! Who among those weaker than a peak Universe Overlord would dare to act arrogantly in front of him? And those stronger than him, which one doesn't have more Supreme Treasure than him? What need is there for him to lend it?"
"That's true! Now it depends on which star sector Universe Country he'll be assigned to during the inter-clan war. But with his current Overlord- level combat power, it shouldn't be a big problem no matter where he's assigned."
"None of those Alien Races' Universe Overlord or Universe Master would hold back if they encountered him. It's not just us who can see that the Venerable Huan Shi's battle record is inflated. Just watch, this inter-race war is, in a sense, the real test for him!"
"What are you thinking? Every time a clan war starts, everyone shares intelligence. If they encounter a powerful opponent they can't defeat, they'll probably leave early. This Venerable Huan Shi isn't stupid either. As long as he doesn't directly confront those Alien Race Universe Master, what can anyone do to him?"
Amidst the murmurs, Lu Yan'an and the other two stepped through the golden gate and vanished via teleportation.
