"We should go back, Dragon Halberd."

After that, Li Guanqi continued to move forward and walked towards the exit of the North City Gate.

…

…

At night, the moonlight is bright and clear, and the stars are not visible.

The Ancestral Nest of the Dragon Clan, Lake of Light.

Li Guanqi stood alone by the fluorescent lake, his eyes flickering, wondering what he was thinking.

"king."

Suddenly, there was a trembling movement in the surrounding giant tree forest, and an old white ape with a height of 100 meters came slowly with its arms hanging to the ground.

"Simon?"

Li Guanqi looked at him, "What's the matter? Is something wrong?"

"I'm fine, old man."

The old white ape looked down at Li Guanqi and said calmly: "It should be you who is in trouble."

"..."

Li Guanqi said nothing.

The old white ape took out a golden pill from somewhere and swallowed it into his mouth. Then its huge body began to shrink rapidly, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a 2-meter-tall white ape, with Li Guanqi's body.

The shape is flat.

The shrunken old white ape came to Li Guanqi, looked at the fluorescent lake of light, and said with a smile: "You are worried about the changes that this war will bring, the good changes, and the bad ones.

Change, or rather, worry about...the cost of war."

"That word again."

Li Guanqi's expression was complicated, "This is the second time I heard this word today."

"Did you hear it from Lord Longji?"

The old white ape raised his head and looked at the floating island suspended above the sea of ​​clouds on the horizon. "This is not surprising. I also heard this word from Lord Longji back then. She hated war, so I was actually very curious.

Lord Longji knew that you were going to lead the Dragon Clan to participate in the war, so how could he follow you?"

"Who knows."

Li Guanqi rubbed his brows tiredly.

"You also hate war, right?"

The old white ape looked at him and said slowly, "I can see that you hate war, but for some reason, you have to participate in it."

"..."

Li Guanqi was silent for a moment.

After a long while, he looked at the Lake of Light in front of him and said with complex eyes: "Three years ago, I met a mercenary team in Southern Xinjiang. They were all victims of the war. The friction war between Southern Xinjiang and Daluo

Among them, he lost his parents and became an orphan.

There is a girl in the team named Bulma.

She told me that she didn’t understand. She didn’t understand why those powerful people, who were so rich and had everything they needed, still launched wars, plundered Daluo’s borders, and why they wanted to anger Daluo and send troops to attack them.

She didn't understand why the fight between the powerful and the powerful cost the lives of ordinary people and led to the destruction of their families and innocent people like them.

She said that the war took away many things.

She said she hated war.

I said at that time, me too.

Ha... me too...

But what do I do now?

To become the initiator of war, oh, to do the thing I hated most before, how ironic is this? Isn’t it?”

At the end of the speech, Li Guanqi scratched the white hair on his head with some irritability.

"Then why do you want to start a war?"

The old white ape asked softly, "For power? For status? Or to satisfy one's own ambition?"

"No."

Li Guanqi lightly

Shaking his head, "I'm not doing this, I'm doing it to protect the people who come from the same hometown as me, and to be able to return to my hometown."

He looked at the fluorescent lake in front of him, gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice: "Now, right now, Simon, do you know that while I am chatting with you, within the Great Wall of the East, Southern Xinjiang, and the Shogunate,

The Oriental Islands, the Tulip Empire in the West, the battlefields of various countries, and even wilderness areas...

There are many people from the same hometown as me who are becoming slaves in every corner of the world at this moment, suffering and unable to control their own life or death.

And as time goes by, more and more people will come here.

Among them, those who come to the grassland are the worst!

So I must build a country, and build a country on the grassland!

I must build a powerful enough dynasty to force powerful empires like the Tulip Empire to treat my hometown people well and send them over intact.

Only in this way can I provide everyone with a safe haven.

Only if the dynasty I established is strong enough, will those empires be afraid, and when they discover the people in my hometown, they will not choose to enslave them, but choose to treat them carefully and kindly, and send them to me obediently, for fear of offending me.

.

I have to achieve this situation.

It's not that I can't wait.

Of course I can wait!

I can wait until I slowly become stronger. If the Bagua level is not enough, I will reach the Nine Palace level. If the Nine Palaces level is not enough, I will reach the Nine Palace level. By then, I will be invincible and I can conquer the world easily without any risk!

But how long will this take?

God knows!

Can I wait, can those people wait?

I just arrived in the grassland a while ago, and I saw many people from my hometown who were enslaved and humiliated by the Tauren clan. Under the hands of the Tauren, they could not even be called a 'human being'!

At this moment, where I can't see, there are more, more people being humiliated and even dying!

They can't wait.

I must establish a country as soon as possible, and establish a dynasty powerful enough as quickly as possible to accept all the people from my hometown who have come to this foreign world, so that they can continue to have the right to live.

must.

I have to do this!"

At the end of the sentence, Li Guanqi clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth.

"Perhaps you can be more selfish and live your life more freely?"

The old white ape looked at him and said meaningfully: "Wang, have you ever thought about not caring about the life and death of those people in your hometown? In this way, you can take your time and be more relaxed, right?"

"I can't do it."

Li Guanqi shook his head slightly, "You are right, but I can't do it after all."

"Can't you even be selfish?"

When the old white ape heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly at first, then looked at Li Guanqi and smiled softly, "There are always 'stupid' people like you in the world, who can't even be selfish and always want to protect them.

Weak, even if you are not strong enough.

However, I admire people like you very much. This world needs more "stupid" people like you to become a better place."

"..."

Li Guanqi looked at the old ape and was slightly startled.

"King, war always has a price, it is inevitable."

The old white ape patted his shoulder and said softly: "Don't resist it, but face it calmly. What is more important than the cost is the meaning of war.

And you have already found the meaning of this war to you, haven't you?"

After that, the old ape withdrew his hand, turned around, and slowly left until he disappeared into the night in the forest.

"..."

Li Guanqi looked at the direction it left with a thoughtful look on his face.

"yes."
To be continued...
