After the party, Su Qingling took Zhang Ruochen to the library of Tongyou Saint Domain and took books from the shelf.
“‘h.e.l.l Luosha Race.’”
“‘Merits Battle and Merits.’”
…
Su Qingling was wearing a long blue robe, covered with a light fragrance. She was standing under the shelf, and she clapped her hands and stared at Zhang Ruochen.
“Luosha race is one of the three lower races from Heaven World. They can get stronger and stronger by just eating other creatures, and human flesh and blood are the best to them.”
“Males in Luosha race look horrendous, but they’re incredibly strong. As for the females, they’re ethereal, and if a monk isn’t careful enough, he’ll be tempted and killed.”
Zhang Ruochen had enough mind power to immediately finish reading ‘h.e.l.l Luosha Race’ in its entirety.
And then, Zhang Ruochen started to read ‘Merits Battle and Merits.’
The battle between Heaven World and h.e.l.l World was called a Merits Battle.
The more monks from h.e.l.l World a monk from Heaven World killed, the more merits he and the field he belonged to won.
The more merits a field earned, the higher it would be ranked on ‘Thousand Fields Merits Rank,’ and it would never become the battlefield in the fights against h.e.l.l World.
Su Qingling said, “When a large field is established and designated to be the battlefield, there’re two stages.
“For example, when Zuling Field is chosen to be the battlefield, it’ll go through the first stage called primary battlefield stage.
“At this stage, the supreme saints of each side will have the battle outside the domain, and the armies led by saint kings will battle inside the large field.
“The Luosha armies from h.e.l.l World want to eat the flesh and blood and seize the resources in Zuling Field.
“As for the armies from Heaven World, they want to kill as many creatures of Luosha race as possible to earn merits. And the monks from Zuling Field want to protect their own large field.”
Zhang Ruochen asked, “Why do the supreme saints fight outside the domain instead of the large field?”
Su Qingling chuckled and said, “The supreme saints have tremendous power. Imagine a group of supreme saints going all out in Zuling Field. It’ll only take a couple months for them to turn Zuling Field into ruins.
“Then Luosha race can’t get the flesh and valuables they want, while Zuling Field will lose billions of lives. It’s just the same as fighting in a lifeless astral domain then.
“There’s no point in doing that since it’s a lose-lose.
“Inside the large field is the battlefield for creatures under supreme saints.”
Zhang Ruochen felt that Heaven World was doing this to deliberately sacrifice weak fields like Zuling Field. “Why doesn’t Heaven World fight back against h.e.l.l World. Why didn’t it just start a War of G.o.ds with h.e.l.l World?”
Su Qingling sighed and said, “If Heaven World were stronger than h.e.l.l World, it would’ve done it a long time ago instead of giving free rein to h.e.l.l World.”
“As for a War of G.o.ds, it happened once before.”
“It was a hundred thousand years ago, and the War of G.o.ds swept through the entire universe, killing more than half the G.o.ds from Heaven World and annihilating over one thousand large fields. h.e.l.l World also suffered a huge blow.
“It’s been a hundred thousand years, and neither has fully recovered from that yet, so n.o.body wants to initiate a War of G.o.ds.”
Zhang Ruochen was rendered speechless, as he felt pathetic.
He now understood better what Moon G.o.ddess had said. The reality was brutal, and everyone was just a puppet. If he wanted to protect his family, friends, and loved ones, the only thing he could do was to make himself stronger.
Su Qingling said, “Let me tell you about the second stage of the battle, the Apocalyptic Stage.
“At this stage, the entire large field has crumbled, and all the valuables saint kings are interested in have been seized. Even the s.p.a.ce structure of the large field becomes extremely unstable and can’t handle the power of saint kings anymore.
“By then, saint kings of both sides will exit the battlefield. Only saints and half saints remain to rob the resources in the large field.”
Zhang Ruochen clenched his fist and he could feel that his muscles were getting tense. He asked, “Why did they have to designate a large field to be the battlefield? Why did the G.o.ds from Heaven World do that? Don’t they think it’s too cruel?”
Su Qingling said, “They have no other options! Even if they don’t do it, h.e.l.l World will still keep attacking the subsidiary fields of Heaven World, leading to deaths and destruction. It’s better for them to designate a place to be the battlefield, which can actually mitigate the losses.
“Heaven World and h.e.l.l World fought each other randomly at the beginning, and after tens of thousands of years, they’ve come to a tacit agreement like this.
“Certainly, this is a law of nature as the large fields chosen to be battlefields are the weakest fields with the least potential.
“The strong can decide the fate of the weak. This is the rule in the entire universe.”
It was cruel and realistic, but it was the truth.
Zhang Ruochen calmed down and said, “Now that the battlefield has been opened, and there’ll be billions of lives lost, there’ll be a result of the battle, won’t there?”
Su Qingling nodded and said, “Indeed, but Heaven World has always lost more often than it’s won. For example, we’re in the western universe, and there’re always ten battlefields. Every time a field is destroyed, there’ll be another one.
