Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

“The Federation of Stars and Glows is a deformed nation born in war and has been in a circle of enemies since its inception. For 500 years, war has been the dominant melody of this kingdom, hence the emergence of a huge interest group that relies on war! ”

“To this day, hunting demonic beasts and tribes remains the backbone industry of the Xingyao Federation, with two hundred and eighty-one of the top 500 federations operating mainly in military services such as hunting demonic beasts and providing defense against demonic tribes, thus extending the upstream and downstream industrial chain to cover almost one fifth of the employed population of the entire Federation. ”

“Nearly one third of the ‘practitioners' of the Federation's ruling class are combatant practitioners, and even non-combatant practitioners often engage in war-related work. ”

“For example, the refiner of military magic treasures is higher than the refiner of civilian magic treasures, while an artistic cultivator is more keen to create and war-related works of art, even joining the army directly, using war songs to inspire morale and become a warrior in another sense. ”

“If you don't understand what ‘interest group' means, just think of yourself, vulture Li Yao. ”

“Ten years ago, after Dragonstar Skeleton killed dozens of blood demon nobles in one breath, I paid special attention to your information, and I just took out all your information and reruns it and discovered that you once had the status of a 'Starshine Federation Disabled Veteran'. ”

“Now that you are a 'federal disabled veteran', you must know how many benefits and entitlements a veteran can enjoy in the Federation of Starscreams. ”

“Free use of all kinds of public facilities and transportation equipment, tax breaks for start-ups and sects, high monthly disability and veteran benefits… In the Federation, every veteran is an invisible millionaire! ”

“Proud, proud, glorious, huh? ”

“However, I would like to know if you, as a 'federal disabled veteran', have thought about a small question while enjoying all this natural benefits? ”

“Money, it will not fall from the sky. How many martyrs and disabled veterans have been born after 500 years of war in Starlight Federation? Where exactly did this money come from? ”

“Victims may well say that pensions are one-time, but as times have progressed, biochemistry and psychic energy have developed fast, wounded soldiers are becoming more and more difficult to die, even if they die, there is a certain chance that they will be converted into ghost repair, and ghost repair also enjoys the same rights as living people! ”

“As a result, the group of disabled veterans and veterans of the Xingyao Federation is expanding and exhibiting a dramatic posture, and you have formed a huge interest group to exert influence everywhere in Parliament, to continuously improve the status of the military, more money, more welfare, more respect! ”

“How can the status of a soldier be improved? War, only war! In peacetime, active servicemen are a bunch of * * * *, not to mention disabled veterans! ”

“Look, don't think that only we demons yearn for war, you disabled veterans, equally yearn, need war, without war, you are a piece of shit, a piece of shit that doesn't even stink! ”

“It's just a small interest group, inside the Federation. ”

“There are also cultivators whose main business is to kill demons and defend against demonic invasions, those who have no skill but to demonize them, those who invest all the resources of the entire sect in the hands of ‘war bonds' and ‘victory funds'. Do you think they really want this war to stop? ”

“Just a little more straightforward, peace has really arrived. What do you want so many combat fixers to do? Playing acrobatics in the circus? ”

“Vulture Li Yao, you are perhaps the biggest miracle in the 500 years since the birth of Xingyao Federation. In just 10 years, you have risen to such an incredible level, which is the only reason why I am willing to waste so much time talking to you. ”

“But no matter what realm you've been raised to, you're still too young. ”

“You know nothing about real power, you know nothing about how the world works! ”

“You Stargazer Federation, since its inception 500 years ago, have been an all-encompassing war machine and must be lubricated with massive war dividends in order to function properly! ”

“Five hundred years ago, you wiped out the demonic kingdom of the East Pole, plundered vast war dividends and prospered for just over a hundred years. ”

“Three hundred years ago, when the war dividend ran out, you pointed your spears at the ‘Alliance of the Great Waste Demons’ in the wilderness and launched seven expeditions, eventually conquering the whole wilderness! ”

“The war dividend, which relies on the 'conquest of the wilderness', has sustained the Federation's rapid development for hundreds of years. ”

“But at this time, you have conquered the entire celestial realm. Without a new demonic kingdom and demonic city, you can squeeze out new war dividends, and the interests that swelled to their limits in centuries of war cannot perish on their own. ”

“So you put your eyes on the Blood Demon Realm, ready to lubricate the gears and tracks of this war machine with the five dirty hearts of the Blood Demon Realm. ”

Li Yao furiously laughed back: “Senior Kim, I didn't expect you to turn black and white to such an extent! Even if the Starlight Federation is really a war machine, it's forced by the demons, right? Were the alliances of the East Pole Demon Nation and the Great Waste Demons all kind-hearted men and women of faith? Before we destroy them, why would they even try to destroy us once and for all? ”

“Weren't you the first to invade the celestial realm in the last hundred years with the bug sea and the tide of beasts of your blood demons? Are you the only ones allowed to invade and we are not allowed to fight back? ”

Kim Tu calmly said: “I don't want to discuss right and wrong, I just want to talk to you, a special fixer, about the facts. It doesn't make any sense to talk about the East Pole Demonic Power and the Federation of Xingyao, who was the invader, who was the defender. ”

“The truth is that no matter how innocent the Starlight Federation was at first, it has been nourished by blood and corpses into a terrible beast in two centenary wars! ”

“Yes, in the last hundred years, especially in recent decades, the blooddemon world has indeed launched countless probationary attacks on the celestial realm, including even large-scale attacks such as the Battle of the Dawn, and I admit it when you say 'aggression’. ”

“But do you know when the first issue of the Star Glow Federation, the 'war bond' against the bloodthirsty world, was? ”

“Tell you what, 142 years ago! ”

“Why? Easy!”

“One hundred and seventy years ago, the war against the Alliance of the Great Deserts and Demons was just over and the whole wilderness was finally conquered. ”

“This protracted war has drained the federal power and put the Government's finances on the verge of collapse. ”

“The development of a vast and unenvironmental wilderness requires a lot of money, and the federal government is a copper plate that can't be pulled out! ”

“In order to raise funds, the Federal Government had to issue a new construction bond in exchange for the support of the major factions with the interests in the vast array of resources. ”

“But there is no sect willing. ”

“Reason? Because looking at it, the whole world of heaven has been conquered! In the foreseeable future, peace and development will become mainstream in the celestial realm, and the status of combatant practitioners in the Federal Army and in the major factions will inevitably decline considerably. ”

“These are war dependent interests that are absolutely unacceptable! ”

“So they forced the federal government to issue new war bonds at a time when the federal government was severely underfunded and on the verge of collapse. ”

“Oh, I'm afraid it's imprecise to say 'persecution', in fact, at the height of the recent victory over the wilderness and the conquest of the Federation of Stars, the status of combative practitioners and the Confederate Army is being embraced with fanaticism by all the people, who hold the entire parliament, and they are the federal government! ”

“In short, this federal government has issued a new bond tied together with development bonds for the Great Wilderness and war bonds for the Blood Demon Realm. The US name says, 'In order to protect the safety of the Great Wilderness, we must strike the Blood Demon Realm of the Demon Nation's lair and preemptively’! ”

“After conquering the Blood Demon Realm, all the fixers and sects who buy bonds get a great deal of spirits, land, and… demon slaves! ”

“Perhaps at first, it was just a tactic of convenience for soldiers and practitioners to consolidate their position, and they did not necessarily really want to attack the Blood Demon Realm. ”

“But once the war bonds were issued, they woke up the freshly-sleepy beast, and nothing was left to them. ”

“The fixers and sects who buy bonds have become the most fanatical supporters of the war, and you know that these people have a lot of yuan babies and monsters, and they have a lot of influence and even control in parliament! ”

“Thus, a war bond was issued to build the wilderness, and in order to redeem it, the blood demon kingdom must be conquered. ”

“In order to conquer the bloodthirsty world, it is necessary to raise more funds, mobilize more resources and sustain a larger army. The second, third and fourth bonds have to be issued…”

Kim slaughtered a slight smile in the corner of his mouth, but in his deep eyes, there was a rare sorrow. “At that time, the Starlight Federation knew nothing about the Blood Demon Realm. You measured us by the standards of the 'Eastern Demon Nation' and the 'Alliance of the Great Wastes Demons’. You thought that the Blood Demon Realm was at best an enhanced version of the wilderness and could certainly be conquered. ”

“This madness will not end until you have a thorough understanding of the power of the Blood Demon kingdom and know what a terrible adversary you are facing. ”

“It's too late. ”

“The suspension of the plan to invade the Blood Demon Realm triggered the largest economic crisis in the Federation of Stars and Glows one hundred and seven years ago, leading to the collapse of fifty-five factions and even the suicide of two former infant monsters. ”

“I'm sure you've learned about this economic crisis called ’Black September' in textbooks, but you don't necessarily know the truth about this economic crisis in textbooks. ”
