CHAPTER 67: CHAPTER 63: BLACK MYTH ELF_2

They originally thought the spectacle before them was quite interesting, but they soon discovered that this was merely the beginning. A display of cunning strategy that left them utterly astonished unfolded before them.

Du Jingsheng asked, "How should we resolve this?"

"The method is quite simple."

"The solution is actually simple?" Du Jingsheng felt his understanding of life had been overthrown. The opponent’s strategy seemed terrifying to him. Now, whether they fought or not, they felt caught in a dilemma.

"Please, sir, enlighten us."

Du Jingsheng no longer dared to sit and ask. He stood up, bowing respectfully like a student seeking instruction.

Over the years, he gradually realized that the gentle and warm-looking man before him was anything but ordinary. He seemed to recall memories from the prehistoric ruins, coming from a mysterious origin, with knowledge as vast as the Abyssal Sea, and was considered a saint of their civilization.

Zeng Ciwen, with his hands behind his back, said, "They seem formidable, but dealing with them isn’t troublesome! This era is very primitive and savage. Although there are many clever people, their vision is ultimately limited, only knowing how to engage in brutal, bloody battles."

"However, do you know what the essence of war is? I fear that no one in this era understands."

Du Jingsheng, heartily convinced, asked, "Sir, what is the essence of war?"

Zeng Ciwen slowly opened his mouth:

"The essence of war is an extension of politics!"

"War is bloody politics, and politics is bloodless war!"

As these words fell, it was as if a thunderclap exploded in Du Jingsheng’s mind, causing a great shock to his spirit!

This is the essence of five thousand years of human political struggle, so how could he not be stunned?

After all, in this era, there’s no profession specializing in politicians or strategic commanders.

He continued, "We possess advanced technology and don’t need to use violence to enslave them. Violence only leads to greater resistance; instead, we use spiritual enslavement, first making them believe we are their friends."

"We don’t need to retaliate; we just need to repel them and tell them that our Elf Race is inherently averse to war. We won’t retaliate, won’t kill. We uphold the principles of life and liberalism, and in various ways, unintentionally show that we elves are a peace-loving, free, and democratic race... make them start doubting."

"Our affinity with animals and residence in the forest is the evidence."

Upon hearing these words, the players’ expressions changed completely.

If the previous war strategy was astonishing, now it was terrifying!

You, as a higher civilization, scorn life and order, pry open genetic sequences, modify all beings, and madly enslave and transform animals, treating all life forms as your inferior tools, and now you claim to be on friendly terms with animals?

Yet they manage to cover it up perfectly.

Because in the eyes of outsiders, animals seem to be the trusted companions of this group of beautiful elves.

At the same time, humans are visual creatures. Such beautiful and perfect beings, tall and handsome, naturally evoke good feelings at first sight. Who knows their inner thoughts...

They only felt that the Elf Race was continuously evolving, gradually aligning with all aspects of the mythical descriptions of "elves" in the story.

Elves, as products of genetic engineering, fuse the eternal life and healing of trees, with the Tree of Life serving as the gene pool, coupled with their perfect appearance as camouflage, easing other civilizations’ vigilance against them...

Now, thinking of the mythical creature, elves, it’s truly terrifying upon deep reflection!

It’s almost like a dark myth.

At that moment, Zeng Ciwen said:

"Have you understood now? Publicly, we claim that we elves are the sanctuary of the world, a peace-loving race from prehistoric times. Furthermore, we not only don’t prevent them from learning, but should actively establish an Elf Holy Academy, enticing the top talents from various countries to study and teach them some non-confidential witchcraft academics, and during the process, continuously output cultural and ideological influence..."

"Moreover, we distract their thoughts, causing internal strife among them, allowing a group to become close to the superior elf race, we support them in governing state affairs... ultimately achieving internal disintegration and secretly controlling their race’s leadership rights."

Du Jingsheng was suddenly enlightened, yet felt truly terrified!

This method of warfare was completely unheard of and unseen in their eyes! Just listening to it gave them goosebumps.

And as players watched this intellectual climax of the plot, observing the man discussing global trends, they thought to themselves:

This man seems calm and composed, but in reality, he’s extremely terrifying. He’s still in hiding, unsure of what he’s studying, but perhaps in a future era, he’ll stir world dynamics, no less tumultuous than Shiguang the True Emperor.

...

New Era, Year 502.

The elves continued to guard the Fairy Forest, allowing attacks without retaliation, even avoiding killing during fights as much as possible.

Despite possessing superior overwhelming combat power, they refrained from counterattacking, surprising everyone.

They also publicly declared:

"Our Elf Race is a nature-loving, peace-loving, free race, born like ancient plants, as carefree as trees, as harmless as flowers and grasses."

"Please do not attack us."

"The world needs peace; what it needs is civilization and order, not savagery."

"We have mastered advanced ancient technology that this era has never seen, and we’re willing to establish an Elf Academy, inviting all to exchange and learn our civilization and technology."

These words were truly astonishing.

Having already been unable to penetrate, coupled with such attitudes, wars against the elves gradually ceased.

Moreover, some began to develop favorable impressions of the elves, speaking kindly, starting to believe they truly were a natural and peace-loving ancient species.

"They have strong combat power but do not invade us."

"They are a peace-loving and free race!"

"Humanity should reflect!"

...

Various sentiments spread, and the prestige of the Elf Race began to rise.

And as the Elf Race promoted friendly openness and territory, some attempted to approach, entering this elf sanctuary, and soon received warm welcomes. Thus, the entire world became excited, traveling in droves, and the whole sea became prosperous. Travelers, scholars, and witches began to gradually form a new golden age.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhengwei’s expression instead calmed down, "Heh heh, being beaten from all sides is normal. Once beaten, accepting the essence of a new civilization idea will lead to growth... Just as the world caught up with modernity quickly due to being subjected to the beatings of a certain 21st-century individual."

However, for Zhu Zhengwei, his focus was not here, but on the other side.

"Is it about to begin?" Zhu Zhengwei mused thoughtfully.

At this moment, a sea ship sailed across the ocean, the sunlight shimmering on the sea surface, reflecting a golden hue.

"What is that? A shark?"

"It’s emitting an unprecedented vast aura, far surpassing the Immortal Herb!"

A witch holding a Bone Staff widened his eyes rapidly.

As a brief calm arose among the three races, people began to discover new oceanic wonders, a mysterious and terrifying shark exuding a mystical ancient aura that everyone coveted.
