Novel Bin Chapter 374 The Price Of War? Where Is It?
The benefits of this battle were substantial.
After all, Yuchi had killed two Dao heart realm cultivators. Although he had not absorbed their Dao aura yet, it had already been stored in his sea of consciousness, appearing there in the form of a dreamy mist.
Next, Yuchi only needed to refine and absorb it, and he would gain something equivalent to Heavenly Dao spiritual liquid from it.
The quantity would also far exceed the 1,000 drops of Heavenly Dao spiritual liquid he had before. In fact, the amount was too large for him to estimate at this moment.
Unfortunately, there was naturally no way to absorb their Dao hearts. Their Dao hearts were different from Yue Hanjiang\'s, as they contained their own comprehension of the Heavenly Dao.
Yue Hanjiang was different.
Her Dao heart was innate, just like the sea hearts, and did not have a soul.
Currently, Yuchi had two Dao hearts; the Deathmatch Dao heart, and the Nature Dao heart. These were like weapons he wielded, and had been forged to fit his personal use.
No one but Yuchi could wield them.
It was the same for the other party\'s Dao heart.
What about Yue Hanjiang?
Her Dao heart was like an iron ingot that had yet to be forged. Anyone who obtained her Dao heart would be able to forge it as they liked.
This was the general difference between the two.
It was no wonder the Heavenly Dao had chosen him to be her guardian. She was a very tempting target for anyone who had, or wanted, a Dao heart.
At this moment, Yuchi could already start to refine the Dao aura absorbed by the Netherworld Bloodsucking skill.
However, it seemed that the human race was courting death.
Although Yuchi himself had said that he did not have any sense of belonging to the human race, there were still people he cared about living among them.
He still had to go back and take a look.
At the very least, he had to figure out what had happened. Why would the human race suddenly attack another race for no reason?
"Hanjiang, looks like I\'ll be treating you to steamed buns again."
"Yay! I want to eat a whole lot!"
She had now understood how ferocious her master was after witnessing the battle just now. He had not shown fear despite facing the Heavenly Dao\'s apparition.
In that situation just now, she had actually been unable to move. She could not even react to what was going on, nor did she have the courage to escape.
This feeling of being stared at by the Heavenly Dao could make one lose all thoughts of fighting back.
The Heavenly Dao had probably grasped all three types of Dao hearts.
Not only could it wield immense power, which was supported by the other Dao hearts, but it could also suppress and subdue its enemies using pure pressure.
Was this the end result of having all three types of Dao hearts?
Yue Hanjiang was unsure about this.
However, the one thing she did know was that her master was really powerful.
On the way back, Hanjiang was very curious.
"Master, since I\'m a jinx raised by the Heavenly Dao, why didn\'t the Heavenly Dao apparition show any mercy to me just now? It felt like it was threatening me, and that if I did anything, it would instantly kill me."
This question was indeed quite valid.
Yuchi smiled. "Because you\'re you, and it\'s it. In any case, there\'s no need to bother with the Heavenly Dao\'s gaze."
Hanjiang thought about it carefully.
"Alright, Master!"
Indeed…
What was the point of caring?
She only cared about her master!
Then, she thought about Cofuran, who she now regarded as Yuchi\'s wife as well.
"Master\'s wife is really outstanding. When can I be as outstanding as Master\'s wife? She\'s strong, gentle, and loyal to Master. I completely approve of this marriage!"
…
In the human city.
The people of the Department of Inspection were still unaware of the trouble brewing. The directors of the Inspection Department had already led their 10 million soldiers into another race\'s territory. Despite the pleas of that race, they still destroyed the other party. The methods they used could be described as fast, accurate, and ruthless.
This time, because they wiped out a race numbering 30 million in population.
This was also the first time the humans had paid a price. Out of the 10 million soldiers, only 6 million survived. In other words, there was a 40% casualty rate, which spoke volumes of the severity and ferocity of the battle.
The humans were in an uproar again. They had won another war!
"So it seems that our human race is so strong!"
"Fighting on the battlefield of the myriad races is so rewarding!"
"As expected, all of this is something that we humans deserve. We have gained a lot through these two wars. We are no longer the same as before. We are no longer the weak humans that everyone looked down upon. We\'re now invincible!"
The directors of the Department of Inspection posted all kinds of live propaganda broadcasts on the Internet again.
Although more than 4 million people died in this battle, it was an insignificant number compared to the overall population of the human race.
Furthermore, they did not bother to commemorate the dead.
If they died, then so be it. No one would care.
At most, they would just give out some medals. That would do.
The main reason for this was that those who survived would obtain a large share of the wealth.
As a result, after these two wars, the large families instantly made their presence known in the human race.
Countless large families began to show up, acting all high and mighty when they made their appearance.
Many fancy speeches were given, alongside many pompous events.
The Fengyi family was the same.
Fengyi stood in front of her father with an ashen face, who was in high spirits.
"I don\'t know when or how our family has become like this. We were developing just fine before, but it seems that we\'ve gone back to our own ways. Since I don\'t see any hope of anything changing in the future, I wanted to tell you that I\'m leaving the human race\'s territory with the others. We don\'t want to stay here anymore. We\'ve already put in a lot of effort and tried our best to salvage the situation, but it\'s all meaningless."
Fengyi had aged a lot in the past two years. She was obviously a little haggard, and there were many white strands of hair on her head.
She, Qin Lanyu, and the others had traveled far and wide within the human race\'s territory to try and dissuade people from starting these wars, and to tell them of the dangers and consequences.
In the beginning, there were indeed people who believed them, but after the spoils of war started to be distributed, no one cared about the potential consequences.
Currently, only 100,000 people out of the ten billion people in a city still chose to believe that this wealth was illegitimate, and would ultimately be reclaimed from their possession.
When Fengyi\'s father heard her words, he simply waved his hand and said, "Goodbye!"
"I don\'t have a weak daughter like you. Our family doesn\'t need a weakling like you. You won\'t be of any help to our family\'s development. Just look at your brothers and sisters. They have obtained a lot of battle achievements and wealth thanks to the Department of Inspection. This will help your family advance even further."
"You kept saying that there would be a price to pay for such a war. However, I have yet to see what that price is. Why can\'t I see it, huh?"
"Hahahahaha!"
He laughed.
Fengyi, on the other hand, did not say anything. Currently, benefits were the only things on everyone\'s minds.
Since everyone was busy getting their hands on loot, would they not be fools to not join in?
In any case, even if disaster struck, it was better to have more than less.
This was the situation now.
War was no longer seen as war. Rather, it was a source of endless benefits.
Those who went out to war had indeed obtained a lot of resources, while those who did not had been left far behind.
Fengyi\'s father watched her leave silently.
He even laughed loudly as she left.
"So why aren\'t you saying anything? Where is this so-called price of war you keep speaking of?"
"Tell me."
"I really can\'t see it."
"Hahahaha!"
