Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 194 The Insectoid Capital: The Essence of a Clash of Civilizations
At this moment.

In many areas of Green Saturn, Blue Star players have already begun to exert their strength.

Meanwhile, Linko was strolling through the capital of the Taven insect people.

Lin Ke intentionally used the power of spatial travel to conceal his whereabouts.

Even the gods could not pinpoint his exact location before he made his move.

As for the conversation in which the insectoid deity admitted defeat?

Lin Ke did not respond immediately.

The insectoids can fight whenever they want and stop whenever they want; there's no such thing as a free lunch.

Although prolonging the war may put enormous pressure on the realities of Earth.

However, for now...

Lin Ke felt it was time to make the humans of Earth understand how hard-won everything is.

There is no sense of crisis without sacrifice.

It also fails to inspire national cohesion.

This insectoid war can be seen as a little stimulus to the humans of Earth.

It will also let many people living in peacetime know what it means to respect the strong.

Extraordinary beings are the strong.

Promoting equality for all is tantamount to inequality towards the powerful.

Earth should introduce privileged measures that benefit those with extraordinary abilities.

While it's not that breaking the law is a crime, in work and life, those with extraordinary abilities should be admired by ordinary people.

Otherwise, in a war of civilizations like this one, why would superhumans help those in power fight against ordinary people?

Fortunately, for now, there are still real in-game rewards to guide players.

But what if one day there are no more real games?
If a world only knows how to enjoy the peace and victory brought by the strong, then that world is undoubtedly deformed.

Only a world where everyone admires the strong, knows how to respect the strong, and strives to catch up with the strong, can conform to the laws of this world and this universe.

Only in this way can humanity on Earth truly forge its own path to a powerful and extraordinary civilization.

As for those humans who have no chance to transcend the ordinary, or even those who are unable to cultivate in a world with demons.

Lin Ke believes this is also a choice made by nature and the world.

Survival of the fittest is an unchanging truth.

Humans on Earth also have many opportunities.

In reality, one cannot cultivate without the necessary qualifications, but if one manages to secure a spot in the real game, then one naturally has the opportunity to change everything.

And as the path of real-world gaming continues to expand.

Not everyone on Earth has the opportunity to become a superhuman.

For example, with the intelligence of humankind on Earth, we can certainly develop methods like gene-editing drugs.

Furthermore, as long as Earth has enough subordinate civilizations.

As long as humanity on Earth can win time and time again in the clash of civilizations.

Even ordinary humans on Earth, as members of a major civilization, would certainly live better than beings in many other worlds.

So what reason do ordinary humans on Earth have to complain?
Although human desires are boundless.

But people should also have self-awareness.

The greater your ability, the greater the benefits you will receive.

This can be considered an eternal truth.

This is also why Lin Ke did not choose to end the war immediately.

Lin Ke planned to let the war continue for another month.

He will negotiate the losses and compensation with the insect-man deity a month later.

The Forestry Society should fight for what is rightfully theirs for humanity on Earth.

Lin Ke will naturally not hesitate to fight for what he deserves.

Therefore, Lin Ke chose to remain a bystander in the face of the current world situation.

A month should be enough time for player groups to gain more points and benefits.

Yes.

Another reason why Lin Ke did not choose to end the war immediately was for the sake of the player group.

As an operations administrator.

Lin Ke is now showing some sense of ownership.

Whether players are familiar with Lin Ke or not, this applies to them.

Both belong to the real game and the reserve force of Lin Ke.

It is very necessary to train them.

If the war in Linko ends before the war in the world of Calter, then the rewards for the players will definitely not be very good.

Therefore, regardless of the reason.

Lin Ke needs to consider the interests of the players in the first and second rounds.

We also need to consider the 300,000 new solo players who have emerged in this world.

Thus, while strolling leisurely...

Lin Ke also lost his reason to destroy other insectoid cities.

After all, in Lin Ke's view, these fully-fledged insectoid cities would all be the property of the Blue Star humans, and even his personal property.

Therefore, with this attitude, Linko soon arrived at the capital of the Taven insectoid race.

It must be said that the capital city of the insectoid civilization truly broadened Lin Ke's horizons.

Towers over a kilometer tall are everywhere.

The entire capital city covers an area of ​​over 100,000 square kilometers.

Everywhere there were densely packed buildings, flying machines, and all sorts of insectoid beings.

High-level beings are like free resources here; you can see two or three of them everywhere.

Even the colossal beings at the Saint rank and the insect-beast forest species could be seen.

After all, different races have designated different areas to build their dwellings.

Here, in the insectoid capital, there are naturally more than a hundred different architectural styles from various races. But no matter how different the individual insectoids are or how different their architectural styles are, they are all planned in an orderly manner in this region.

Therefore, it must be said that the technological world with magic does indeed have its own commendable aspects.

Lin Ke observed along the way.

It was discovered that this insectoid empire has an insectoid population of at least 100 million in the capital.

The bustling traffic and the diverse and unique modes of transportation used by ordinary insect-people dazzled Lin Ke.

To be honest, just look at the current prosperity of the insectoid empire's capital.

Lin Ke felt that the level of civilization in this world might be even higher than that of Earth.

However, due to the fact that we have not yet entered the information age, we are somewhat limited in some aspects.

At least in terms of communication and technological weaponry, although the insectoids have an advantage in magic, they also have a relative disadvantage.

After all, the technology here relies entirely on magic for production.

Once you enter a world lacking magic, without sufficient magic reserves, your technological advantages will crumble instantly.

In contrast, the purely materialistic technology of Earth does not have these flaws.

Each has its advantages and disadvantages.

That's all Lin Ke could say.

Moreover, considering the current situation of the Insectoid Empire...

On the battlefield of Earth, these guys are clearly not yet ready to unleash their full power.

Therefore, Lin Ke was somewhat speechless upon seeing this.

Based on the information that Lin Ke currently possesses.

Today, the Insectoid Empire is a vast civilization that has unified the entire planet for nearly a thousand years.

Its magical reserves are absolutely beyond imagination.

Even if Blue Star was a world without magic before, their war against Blue Star should not have resulted in a shortage of supplies in a short period of time.

Therefore, in the capital city, high-level beings are everywhere, and there may be more than a thousand saint-level beings.

To be honest, Lin Ke couldn't imagine what Earth had used to resist such a powerful civilization.

After all, the power of high-level and saint-level beings is terrifying.

Nuclear weapons alone are far from enough.

In fact, the millennia-long reserves demonstrated by the insectoid civilization far surpass those of the continents of Auckland and Calter.

The only thing that can compare is probably the number of gods, right?

I looked around and strolled around.

Lin Ke had to admit that this civilization's war potential was extremely strong.

And all of this may be related to the fact that this world has low magic levels.

Because of the low magic level, there are only four deities.

Therefore, fewer deities make it easier to achieve the desired cooperation.

Once the gods reach a tacit understanding, it becomes much easier to unify the power of the mortal world.

Even because gods have no lifespan limit.

They can also continue to oversee the healthy development of the entire civilization from behind the scenes.

Therefore, it is reasonable that the insectoid civilization has achieved its current strength.

However, the current prosperity of the insectoid civilization has clearly reached its peak.

This is true, at least for the extraordinary.

Because a low-magic world can only support a few gods.

Similarly, the power of the ground-level Saint rank cannot be generated indefinitely.

After all, every move a Saint-level being makes requires a large amount of magic power.

If there are too many Saint-level beings, the magical environment on the ground will definitely be affected.

Moreover, regarding the situation of Lin Ke entering the insectoid capital.

Here, in the environment of the Insectoid Capital, you can't even sense any trace of magic.

Yes.

In such a large population center, many magical devices, and even superhumans, require magical power to operate.

Therefore, the magic in this area is simply insufficient to meet their daily needs.

Therefore, the magical environment of the entire insectoid empire's capital is almost non-existent, and the magical reserves that can support the operation of this imperial capital naturally rely on magical resources obtained from blood-sucking in various places.

Collect magical energy from all over the world, liquefy or even solidify it, and transport it to the capital.

This is naturally not a difficult task for a technologically advanced magical civilization.

But in any case, this civilization's magical strength has already reached its peak.

A thousand or so Saint-level beings represent the limit that the world's mortal magical environment can sustain.

The development of materialistic science and technology naturally became a necessary means.

However, the insectoids' materialistic technology went astray, ultimately resulting in devices and weapons that required magical energy to function.

This obviously exacerbated the depletion of magic power in this world.

Therefore, if the Insect People continue to develop in this way, the magical ecosystem of this planet will collapse sooner or later.

It's not impossible for the world to be downgraded.

To change this situation.

The method is actually no different from that in mainland Auckland.

First, they can either deplete their excess population internally through war or other means to eliminate it covertly.

Secondly, the gods set more thresholds for entering higher and holy ranks, using illegal and legal advancement to limit excessive magic consumption.

Of course, besides these two points.

There is an even more radical approach.

That would naturally mean searching for other interplanetary civilizations and using war to acquire power from other worlds in order to alleviate internal troubles.

Therefore, based on what Lin Ke has seen and heard in the past few days.

Lin Ke felt that everything made sense.

The insectoid civilization was eager to expand outwards, otherwise it would very likely have reached its peak and then declined.

But upon reflection, Link realized that the troll Tobien Empire was no different.
If a civilization wants to escape the fate of declining after reaching its peak, it must...

Alternatively, one must conquer more worlds, like rowing against the current, to break free from constraints.

Either you just drift along, getting bogged down in endless internal strife, waiting for another civilization to destroy you.

No one has a choice; either they erupt in silence or they perish in silence.

It's starting to feel a bit like the Dark Forest.

At this moment, for the first time, Lin Ke saw the war between civilizations in such depth.

There was also more helplessness and sighs.

"What a crazy and helpless world!"
