Chapter 138: "Nowadays, fighting and killing has no future."_4

"Heart connected to heart... heart connected to heart..."
At this moment, inside a disciple dormitory of the Chao Tian Sect, the middle-aged Shopkeeper was completely unconcerned with another resentful lotus appearing in the sky outside. He was engrossed in his calculations, scrawling feverishly and excitedly on the wall with charcoal.
He had originally thought it would take at least three to five years to break the seal on the Storage Ring. Experience new tales on My Virtual Library Empire
Now, it seemed that time could be greatly reduced.
Because when he gave up trying to break the seal and instead put himself in the shoes of the person who laid it down, he suddenly discovered that many aspects of that person's thought process were exactly like his own.
Just like an old friend he hadn't seen for years.
No longer trying to break it.
But starting to reverse engineer.
Once he started to reverse engineer the process, his thoughts became instantly clearer, and the speed of reverse engineering was much faster than breaking the seal. His curiosity for this stranger he had never met grew stronger—if one day he could meet him.
The other would surely become his best friend and soulmate.
He believed that the other would surely feel the same sense of kindred spirits toward him.

"Roar."
At this moment, atop the Endless Desert,
a young Brown Bear was lying leisurely on the warm sands, his eyes covered by two large green leaves he'd found somewhere, nonchalantly crossing his legs and occasionally scratching the fleas on his body with his bear paw.
"Son, why have you suddenly become so despondent?"
An elderly Brown Bear standing beside him asked with some puzzlement, "Weren't you just thinking of uniting the Devil Clan recently, attacking Xuzhou in Da Xia to snatch a fertile piece of land for our clan? Now the clan is gathered and waiting only for your command to go out. Why have you become so dishearted?"
"Kill?"
The young Brown Bear moved the green leaves from his eyes and looked at his father with surprise, "Father, why do they suddenly want to fight to the death?"
"It's naturally because they're accustomed to days where food is plentiful. But then, they found out that the Spirit Rice crop had failed some days ago and want to take back Xuzhou to fill their bellies again."
"I understand."
The young Brown Bear nodded seriously, "They are hungry, so they want to fight, right? But as the Young Clan Leader, I'm not lacking food, so why should I risk my life fighting like them?"
"They are the ones hungry, not me."
"..."
After a long silence, the elderly Brown Bear finally managed to say, "Let me think about it for a while..."
"Don't bother thinking."
The young Brown Bear waved his hand dismissively, "You saw the Memory Stone, didn't you? That Chen Qiu of Da Xia is nearly mad with killing, and almost wiped out the Sea Clan with a casual blow—and the Sea Clan had a Golden Core. Our Brown Bear Clan doesn't even have a Golden Core.
"Still thinking of invading Da Xia, what a joke."
"Just stay put and don't provoke Chen Qiu. If he gets annoyed and comes to the Endless Desert to wipe us out as well, that would be fun, right? The Sea Clan could run to the seabed, but where could we run? Into the depths of the desert? Wouldn't a bunch of Brown Bears running in the desert be too conspicuous?
"We can't possibly dig underground, can we? Can you dig? I sure can't."
"However..."
The young Brown Bear, still with his legs crossed, scratched his belly with his bear paw and said with a smile, "There's no need to worry too much; I've already sent someone I trust to contact the Star Battle Sect near the Endless Desert. I've heard this sect prefers peace."
"Apparently, our Brown Bear's first urine is considered precious to them as a medicinal ingredient."
"I've decided to trade with them."
"Using bear urine in exchange for food."
"In this day and age, fighting and killing have no future. Are you stronger than Chen Qiu? Since we can't beat Chen Qiu, let's not dwell on thoughts of fighting and killing."
"The Devil Clan and Human Race can coexist peacefully, right?
"Although there have been some conflicts and disagreements in the past, both sides can just pin all the blame on the demon beasts and treat them as a buffer—the past misdeeds are all the work of the demon beasts."
"As long as that rising Heavenly Pride of the Devil Clan doesn't suddenly decide to challenge Chen Qiu, then basically, there should be no issues."
Recently, a Heavenly Pride has emerged among the Devil Clan.
Very strong.
He has defeated all other Heavenly Prides of the Devil Clan without giving them a chance to retaliate. Rumors are that he's extremely inflated with pride nowadays, clamoring for someone to give him a defeat.
