He is a pure-blooded dragon in the miniature garden.

Chapter 341 No, your name is Blank, so what are the brother and sister from six thousand years later called?
The reddish-brown sky exuded an aura of blood.

The visible blue dust poured down on the earth like rain.

The plants it touched began to wither slowly, and the beasts that touched the dust let out mournful howls as if they were being doused with hot oil.

This is a world that makes life despair.

From ancient times to the present, the divine beings born from concepts and the races they created have waged wars across the land for countless years.

The weak perish amidst wails, the strong are destroyed by the even stronger, and in the constant chaos, only death continues to proliferate in this world.

The battles with no winners have continued in the past and are being played out now.

"Ivan, this is an order."

"I command you to die here."

“Swear to the legacy, leave it to me.”

A white-haired boy, whose face was covered by a mask and goggles, making it impossible to see any expression, spoke to the "old man" in front of him in an almost cruel and absolute tone.

If living to your twenties is considered old.

Because in such an environment, humans, or rather, wild beasts with limbs and intelligence, simply cannot live past thirty years old.

In the course of years of war, stray bullets flying from who-knows-where, black ash falling from the sky, or wandering demons... could easily take the lives of beasts who called themselves humans.

Now, less than fifty meters away from them, a slow-moving, nearly five-meter-tall giant monster was searching for something.

That was a demon species, but only a low-grade demon species.

But if it discovers them, all three of them will die within seconds.

Because in this world, humans are such a weak race, no different from wild beasts.

In any case, no matter how meticulously humans prepare, how much wisdom they use, how strategic they employ, or how many traps they set, as long as they are a superior race, they cannot kill them.

This is the difference between beasts and true superior races.

That is why they had only one choice: to run away!
Humans are not allowed to be discovered, not allowed to resist; they are prey that can only be hunted.

They could only leave one bait in exchange for the rest of their Lingge companions escaping.

"Yes, Rick, take good care of my wife and daughter!"

Ivan smiled, then loosened the strap under his chin and slowly removed his dust mask.

The cool air caressed my skin, miraculously easing the atmosphere. The oncoming wind carried away the sweltering sweat and the smell of raw animal hides.

"To protect my comrades and family, and to be prepared to die, there couldn't be a better ending, could there?"

Ivan patted his trembling companion Ale on the shoulder and then handed him the mask.

Rick remained motionless, watching Evan as he nodded in response.

"Okay, leave it to me."

Is the boy, who appears expressionless and feigns composure, truly that calm inside?

He stared at the invitation that had been lingering in his sight for a long time.

[Would you like to join the Anime Forum?]

He remained silent for a long time, unsure whether this was a sign of malice or goodwill from the superior race.

However, he knew that neither malice nor goodwill could be tolerated by his small village of just over two thousand people.

Just now, the invitation disappeared, and the reason is unknown.

He could only assume that the person behind the invitation had had enough and took it back, thus being successfully ignored.

"Yare, let's go, it's time to go back."

Burying everything deep in his heart, carrying the will of all those who sacrificed themselves under his orders, Rick said expressionlessly to his companion, Ale.

"Rick, will this great war end?"

Looking at the red sky with its blue-gray hues, Yare suddenly asked a question.

"It will end."

Rick could only answer that way; otherwise, he would be crushed by this weight.

…………

Meanwhile, on the other side.

A secret base housing nearly two thousand people, located in Rick's village, deep within a cave workshop.

The red-haired girl, who was busy adjusting the ratio of different lenses on an ultra-long-range telescope, suddenly paused.

"what is this?"

"An invitation?"

An invitation appeared deep within her consciousness. Although she couldn't understand the characters on it, she unexpectedly understood their meaning.

[Would you like to join the Anime Forum?]

What is a Dimensional Forum?

Chlorine Dora, Rick's sister, and the girl in charge of managing the village, asked in bewilderment as Rick left the settlement to search for supplies.

This concept had never appeared in her short life or any of her memories.

[The Dimensional Forum is a tool for communicating with different worlds.]

"Is that so? Then I'll join."

Without the slightest hesitation, Kloni accepted the invitation from the Dimensional Forum.

The next instant, a vibrant and dynamic interface appeared before her.

[Essential for time travelers: Climb the tech tree from scratch.]

[Let humanity be great again: Sharing universal technologies from the golden age.]

[An interdimensional culture exchange thread: Let us learn about your world's culture!]

……

A dazzling array of posts appeared before her.

Among the various posts, Kloni quickly found Su Nian's post titled "[Essential Knowledge for Newcomers to the Dimensional Forum]".

From this, she also understood what kind of place the Dimensional Forum really was.

"So there are other worlds in this world?"

Looking at the lives shared by the girls in the everyday world, Kloni couldn't help but show a look of envy.

If only the people in their world could live under the sun like those in other worlds.

"And when will this great war end?"

The Eternal War, a war whose beginning and end are unknown.

At least in human records, no, or rather, war has never stopped since the beginning of recorded history.

Countless superior races shattered the sky, cracked the earth, and buried the world in the ashes of the dead elves.

Only humans, living like wild beasts, struggle to survive in this war.

"It's a pity, I wish I could ask them for help."

Klonie withdrew her envious gaze and lowered her head to continue repairing the long-range telescope that she and Rick had found on the goblin chariot.

Only by repairing this thing can the village be guaranteed to survive in the upcoming war, even if it may be of little use.

As for delving deeper into the dimensional forum? Or chatting and exchanging ideas with other beings? Let's just forget about that.

Like Rick, humans struggling to survive in the brutal war have no right to assert their existence.

Humanity must cease to exist; otherwise, if those superior races were to discover this, it would be a catastrophe for humanity.

The only usable thing is probably downloading some useful knowledge from it, right?

No, you can't download knowledge either, what if it's a scam...

They can't do anything risky.

Just as Klonie lowered her head to continue her work, a precise message contacted her.

[Administrator - Old Man: Chlorine Dora? Are you there?]

Holy crap, a box!!!

Unfortunately, Chloe was someone who survived the war and was the next leader of this small village after Rick's accident, so she naturally wouldn't understand this kind of joke.

She simply watched the contact information of the administrator known as "Old Man" with extra caution.

Sure enough, this was not an unintentional invitation, but a premeditated one?

Should I not have agreed to join in the first place?
A faint sense of regret welled up in Kloni's heart.

She only agreed because she was afraid that the entity that extended the invitation would destroy her village because she refused it.

But now, does it seem like I have to respond to the other person?
[Blank: Who are you? How do you know my name?]

Blank? Looking at this familiar ID, Su Nian's lips twitched slightly.

So why did you name yourself Blank?

Isn't this the name of Rick and Shubi's reincarnations six thousand years later?
Wait, is it because he didn't give himself a name out of caution and to avoid revealing any information about himself?
Su Nian seemed to have figured something out.

She truly lives up to her reputation as Riku's sister, the one who led the participating humans to establish a kingdom for humanity after Riku ended the Eternal War.
It can only be said that in terms of vigilance and cunning, he is no less than Rick.

However, the two of them still had some differences in their ideas.

Rick ignored the invitation after receiving it, while Chlorine readily agreed.

It's okay, no matter how wary you are, as long as you agree... Thinking of this, Su Nian's lips curled up into a slight smile.

We finally managed to get them into the forum.

Out of personal selfishness and pity for the humans in this world, Su Nian did not choose to let Shubi, a machine armored type, join, but instead chose to let the more troublesome humans join.

After all, he really didn't want any race other than humans to have such an opportunity as the Dimensional Forum, even though he wasn't human now.

[Administrator - Old Man: Who I am isn't important. What's important is, don't you want to end this war and save humanity from this life of hiding and running?]

Seeing Su Nian's reply, Kloni became even more wary. She couldn't quite figure out what this guy was up to.

The key point is that there is no trace of [elves] here.

Elves are the source of power in this world. Regardless of race, everyone must use their power through the Elven Corridor within their body.

Only humans do not possess the Elven Corridor within their bodies, nor do they have bodies as powerful as those of orcs.

[Blank: Of course I want to, but how should I do it?]

Klonie decided to feign enthusiasm first to test what this guy was planning to do.

Seeing this, Su Nian narrowed her eyes and replied with a hint of surprise.

[Administrator - Old Man: Of course, invite me over, and I'll be able to end this war.]

"Sure enough, this guy has definitely got his eye on us."

Kloni bit her lip, looking at Su Nian's reply with some hesitation, unsure how to respond next.

Disagree? What if the other party gets angry?
But what if he agrees and actually comes?
Humans are still too weak. If only they could use elves and magic...

[Administrator - Daddy: Okay, I've sent the application. Just approve it.]

Do you agree?

“No no no!!!”

Klonie was so startled by the sudden request that she fell to the ground.

"What's this guy doing? This is way too direct!"

She rubbed her bottom and said.

"At least let me test the waters."

[Administrator - Daddy: Why did you refuse?]

[Blank: I'd never agree, would I?]

Klonie couldn't help but complain, now seriously suspecting that the guy with the perverse sense of humor was watching her, waiting for her to embarrass herself.

Watching her scheme unfold, only to be met with a direct and blunt response.

[Blank space: Hey, why are you targeting me?]

[Administrator - Old Man: It's not that I'm targeting you. What could possibly be worth my attention in a tribe of two thousand?]

[Administrator - Old Man: What I'm after is the Star Cup of your world, and I'm also here to help out by doing some charity work.]

"..."

“Star Cup? What is that? I remember Rick seeing it in the remaining data of the Forest Elves.”

"It seems that this eternal war was started because of it."

Klonie looked puzzled, but what she could be sure of now was that the other party didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards humans.

[Administrator - Old Man: This is a war started by the gods of your world to seize the Star Grail of Creation and become the one true god.]

[Administrator - Old Man: The condition for the Star Grail to manifest is that multiple strongest forces collide with each other, reaching an energy threshold sufficient to break through a planet's energy barrier.]

[Administrator - Old Man: This is why the war has been stuck in a vicious cycle.]

"So that's the reason?"

A bitter smile appeared on Kloni's face. As the weakest of humans, they didn't even have the right to know that war had broken out.

[Administrator - Old Man: Although, according to the normal course of fate, Riku would have ended this war soon, he also died because he couldn't touch the Star Grail.]

"!!!"

Upon hearing this, Kloni immediately became alert. Rick was her brother and the best leader their village had ever had.

According to records, a village of 1,500 people loses at least 70 people every year, while their village of 2,000 people has only lost 47 people since Rick became the leader.

Given Rick's personality, if there were a way to end this war, he would certainly not hesitate to sacrifice himself.

[Blank: How can I change this future?]

[Administrator - Old Man: It's simple, just invite me over.]

At this moment, Su Nian's lips curled up slightly; she had finally succeeded.

Indeed, people who care about others are the easiest to fool.

I wonder what Rick's expression will be when he sees this.
