"Senior, I have a question."
Su Wen didn't answer the Battle Master's question, but instead asked directly, "From the battle just now, I could clearly sense that as long as one disregards everything and fears no death, one can easily conquer the Remnant Clan Universe."
"Then, with the powerful vitality of our newborn race and the ability to rise from the ashes and continue the fight, we can wear down the Remnant Clan until it is annihilated."
"So why did we end up like this?"
"Why did it come to this, to the most dangerous moment of the Ninth Age?"
The Battle Master looked at Su Wen, and after a moment, said softly, "Child, I'm sorry."
Su Wen was taken aback, then asked, "Why is Senior apologizing?"
"I feel it is necessary to apologize to you, and to the entire human race of the Ninth Era."
The Battle Master said solemnly, "If it weren't for our defeat, perhaps you would have been born in the first era of human prosperity."
"As our descendants, you will enjoy the protection of our human ancestors, and under their protection, you will grow up in peace."
"Instead of putting life and death out of our minds like we are now!"
With that, the Battle Master sighed and continued, "You ask me why it ended up like this?"
For a moment, I didn't know how to answer.
"I can only say that when the scales of victory were tipping in our favor, when we held the key to victory and the initiative in the war, we... were not that crazy."
Or rather, we were very calm.
"On the eve of the outbreak of war, my thought was to do everything possible to ensure the survival of my soldiers."
"Soldiers may die, but they must die with meaning!"
"So..."
The Battle Master didn't say anything more.
Even if the Battle Master didn't say it, Su Wen understood.
Yes!
The advantages of the First Era were beyond what the Ninth Era could even imagine.
With such a dominant position, all they needed to do was imagine where they could go to live a carefree life after the war, or where they could enjoy their perfect life.
Those who are concerned about having offspring can have more children with their Daoist partners during peaceful times.
Those who yearn for freedom can also roam the world with their swords, traveling to various worlds under the umbrella of the universe.
Everyone has aspirations for the future.
The future on the eve of the First Era War was bright!
But what about them?
The future is bleak!
In fact, if he hadn't been able to transcend time and space, they would have had no future at all!
Divine Seat were fragmented, fortune was divided, subordinates betrayed, and potential was limited...
Because they cannot see the future, they disregard life and death!
Originally, there wasn't much hope!
Therefore, we must fight even harder for a glimmer of hope!
Compared to this, the Ninth Era was truly pathetic.
"But perhaps, putting yourself in a do-or-die situation is your only way out!"
After a moment of silence, the Battle Master suddenly said, "Come, let's continue to hone your Heart of Battle."
"However, in that situation, I hope you can tone down your crazy tendencies a bit."
"Use reason and a calm perspective to observe the developments on the battlefield, and even more importantly, combine ruthlessness with a macro-level compassion to care for the soldiers under your command."
"What you should be thinking about isn't mutual destruction."
"But rather, it's about bringing them back as intact as possible while ensuring victory in the war!"
"Take them home!"
"This is my promise to them, and I hope you can do the same."
"Exterminate the Remnant Clan!"
"At the same time, bring your compatriots who trust you home!"
Upon hearing this, Su Wen took a deep breath and then solemnly said, "I understand, senior, let's go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene around him changed again.
"Um?"
The Current Battle God under Su Wen's control frowned slightly, because in that instant, the powerful mental energy of the Current Battle God allowed him to perceive the difference in his surroundings.
The circumstances and factors in this war are completely different from those in the previous one.
Don't panic!
"The honing of Heart of Battle and war command skills requires consideration of various factors."
"Moreover, no two wars in the world will ever be exactly alike in terms of their trajectory."
"But rest assured, the information about the Remnant Clan here is all based on my own experience and understanding."
"I can guarantee that this is the most authentic Remnant Clan from the First Era."
"However, the First Era was too far removed from your Ninth Era, and I cannot guarantee that the Remnant Clan has remained unchanged during such a long period."
"Therefore, you still need to accept the different scenarios of war with a flexible mindset."
The Battle Master's voice entered Su Wen's mind with pinpoint accuracy; the difference in this war was clearly his design.
To hone a Incumbent True God, how can one use the exact same battlefield setup?
Wouldn't that be a bit too mechanical?
If war is a test of strength, it's always a matter of three minutes for the enemy to regroup and change positions, seven minutes for the enemy to charge and pollute the battlefield, and fifteen minutes for a top-tier expert to unleash their overwhelming power...
A true confrontation with the Remnant Clan will never be so mechanical!
For any machine, there is a suitable way to break the deadlock.
In a real battlefield, where everything is ever-changing, the turning point often comes down in an instant.
If you seize the opportunity, your chances of victory will be much greater.
If you don't seize the opportunity, then what lies ahead is an abyss!
"Understood."
Su Wen transmitted his thoughts, and then immediately began to plan and divide the battlefield.
At the same time, the Current Battle God under his control, wielding a blood-red spear and transforming into a dragon, began to attack!
His consistent style is to not play by the rules!
Although he understood what the Battle God meant, the Ninth Era was not the First Era after all.
Therefore, he needs to be flexible; he needs to change!
He wanted to make the Remnant Clan on the battlefield unable to understand his actions!
Only when the enemy doesn't understand you can there be a chance of success!
Meanwhile, on the outer front, in the commander's tent.
"After the arrival of the God of Wealth in the Main Space-Time, the future underwent significant changes."
The Star God sat cross-legged, his body floating in the air, and murmured, "But why is it that in those myriad futures, there is still no trace of the God of God of Wealth?"
"Even with Main Space-Time providing a safety net, the God of Wealth... still has no future?"
What kind of logic is that?
"How can such a thing be true?"
With that, the Star God took a deep breath and then withdrew his divination energy that had been manipulating time and space and influencing destiny.
After becoming True God, he could use all the methods left behind by the Eighth Epoch Star God, as well as all kinds of divination methods of True God.
In some aspects, he can even incorporate his understanding of the relationship between the Main Space-Time and the Sub-Space-Time into divination, thus standing in the Sub-Space-Time to glimpse and understand the future of the Main Space-Time.
Being rooted in the past yet possessing insight into the future—the backlash can be immense.
However, if one is already in the future and seeks to understand the feasibility of future changes in the past, then the resulting backlash will be negligible.
In fact, with prolonged rest, these adverse effects can even disappear.
"One whale falls, and all things come to life!"
"Is it only if the God of Wealth dies that everyone... can survive?"
