Chapter 258 (1/2)

Not long after that, Sui Xiong and Lefon arrived at the palace of the Gods of Orcs.

The Gods of Orcs did not like luxury. Their palace did not have any special items or splendorous decorations either. It was just a big palace with houses connected together. Some houses had huge tables and chairs, and so much cookware they looked like restaurants. Some houses were so filled with weapons, armor, and treasures they looked like warehouses. One house especially huge. There was a big round table in it, and many chairs surrounding it, messy and without order.

“Our chamber of affairs is simple, please pay no mind.” Lefon simply found a chair and sat down. He greeted Sui Xiong. “Don’t just stand there, have a seat.”

Sui Xiong was stunned for a while and asked, “Don’t these seats have corresponding owners?”

“Just find a seat and sit down,” Lefon smiled and said. “How troublesome is that, to have to remember your chair when you have to sit!”

Sui Xiong could not help but laugh. He simply pulled up a chair and sat opposite of Lefon.

“I have many questions for you,” He said.

“I know,” Lefon replied. “But let’s just discuss the reason for your current trip. Could it be that you wanted me to promote a God’s order to end the expedition to the South in the main plane?”

Sui Xiong nodded and said seriously, “War benefits no one. I cannot see the necessity of it.”

“But in fact, there is no harm in it, either,” Lefon said without a care. “Regardless of whether they’re Orcs or humans, their reproduction skills are quite strong. Even if a large batch is killed, they will give birth to many more after a few decades or centuries. And if I remember correctly, there is no massacre happening at this time.”

Sui Xiong sighed and tied to persuade him. “Regarding Orcs and humans, isn’t it good that they each live on their own land? I have strolled around the Orc Empire before. The land there is not barren. In theory, there should be enough land to feed the population.”

“It is not a matter of food,” Lefon said. “At least, it is not just about food. The Orcs will always pursue war when the population increases. They want to fight for the survival of the fittest through war, to choose stronger fighters, to increase the overall quality of the entire race. This is an instinct that had been ingrained in their souls. It is their purpose since creation.”

He paused for a while before saying, “Oscar, do you know the origin of the Orcs?”

“As far as I know, the first Orcs were created by an ancient God named ‘ancestor,'” Sui Xiong replied. “Is that right?”

“That’s right, but it’s not comprehensive,” Lefon said. “A long, long time ago, there were all types of strong monsters on earth. They were always killing each other, and always evolving. There was not one stable race in existence. In this situation, the Goddess of Life created the fairy race; known today as the advanced fairies. This race, which had a fixed culture, developed very quickly. They effectively became Her assistants. The other ancient Gods saw this and used the fairy race as a model. They created all the different races we have today. Among them, the Mother of Sea created humans and the Ancestor God created us, the Orcs.

“The ancient Gods were not friendly towards each other. On the contrary, they always warred. The Mother of Sea and Ancestor God were arch-enemies. The Mother of Sea had a lot of friends, but the Ancestor God was very strong. Both of them were hard to beat. After that, the Mother of Sea created humans and planned to train them to become a race of strong warriors, to oppose the Ancestor God’s forces. After receiving the news, the Ancestor God created Orcs in order to fight humans,” Lefon said. “That is why, regardless of whether we’re humans or Orcs, it is our natural calling to see each other as enemies and fight. Our races were born to do so.”

“Mankind should not live for others,” Sui Xiong said. “Just because the Gods created us with a purpose in mind does not condemn humans and Orcs to live in a certain way. Just as children do not necessarily need to follow their parents’ wishes on how they live.”

“Of course you could say that between children and parents. But could you say that between tools and masters?” Lefon smiled and said. “Anyway, later on, there was an accident. The Ancestor God accidentally glimpsed the wonderful secret of ‘the Great Divine Powers’ and wanted to rush into that realm. But in the end, he failed and died. So the Mother of Sea lost her opponent. She sank into a depression very quickly, and couldn’t be bothered to care about humans anymore. As a result, after a long time, humans evolved until they overtook Her abilities and unexpectedly killed Her. This happened not too long ago, as I’m sure you know.”

Sui Xiong nodded. “Although I do not agree with God of Light’s way, as you can see the tool does not necessarily have to follow the master’s requested way of life.”
