Chapter 261: The Declaration of War

Akina Speed knew that his life alchemy factory couldn't create entirely new life forms; it could only replicate and hybridize existing species.

However, this was sufficient to optimize and produce more powerful indigenous species. Unfortunately, the Sun Life Ancient Tree had already been depleted, having become addicted to "pay-to-win" mechanics.

"This is a formidable magic," he stated. "There's no need for schemes; this Life Spirit Ancient Tree will naturally fall under the spell of 'pay-to-win,' becoming a slave to money and obeying my commands." He claimed he never used brute force, but rather crushed his opponents psychologically.

Meanwhile, the Sun Elves had been completely led astray, frantically spending money and now entering a period of exhaustion.

"But this energy is enough for me to advance to the sixth tier," he said with a smile, feeling incredibly relaxed. Breaking through to the sixth tier in just a few months felt like rocketing through the ranks.

Compared to diligently cultivating before, these unconventional methods felt like the true path forward.

At this point, the Sun Elf Ancient Tree, now a depleted pauper, actively sought him out and spoke directly:

"It's time to go to war. By joining the Yumia Night Elf army, our tribe will surely shine. Waging war against humans and plundering them will yield more energy..."

The Sun Elf Ancient Tree had begun finding ways to make money, eyeing the chimeras, elf dragons, and mountain giants with great envy. It seemed every Elf Ancient Tree was keen on a "farming" strategy, developing forces to surround themselves.

"Alright."

Akina Speed did not refuse.

He clearly understood that this was a war for racial survival, difficult to contain. He couldn't stop it, nor did he want to.

If blame was to be assigned, it could only be placed on "Mumu Doesn't Speak" for creating two new races, bringing terrible disaster and catastrophe to this land.

"That foul-mouthed little wretch..." His expression grew increasingly strange. "You want to become a man and be with the girl you like; I don't object to that. Everyone has the right to pursue their dreams.

However, since you decided to become a man, to become a heretic, you should expect to be hunted down and purged. That is the consequence you should bear, choosing to wander the world, drifting everywhere.

Yet, for your own comfort, to avoid harassment from the elves, you spawned a large number of males, and in turn, began bringing disaster to the elves and the entire Ancient Tree World..."

Thus, the Human and Demon races were born.

From this perspective, "Mumu Doesn't Speak" was indeed the root cause of the entire disaster and should be held accountable.

But now that things had come to this, were the Human and Demon races wrong for striving for their own survival after being born? They were living beings who came into this world, possessing their own dignity, and deserved to write epics for their own races.

At this point, it was a racial conflict with no clear right or wrong.

The only one to blame was the culprit who triggered it all—"Mumu Doesn't Speak."

Now, standing on the side of the elves, regardless of what the future held, as an elf hero, he was certainly bound to share their glory and their shame.

He silently exhaled. Having experienced the calamities of the Wizard World, he held a strong aversion to "red-named" players. "After all," he mused, "this is a real, living world, and they are living beings with their own joys and sorrows."

Secretly, he had communicated with figures like the Alchemist Emperor and "Little Brainy Tiger Descends the Mountain," jointly establishing industry guidelines.

It was acceptable to cause trouble, but not to go too far.

If you brought immense disaster to a world that was originally peaceful and serene, don't blame us for treating you as a "red-named" player and initiating a purge!

Having developed secretly until now, and with the Sun Ancient Tree initiating war, it was time to reveal his identity!

He went online and began to post.

A screenshot marked the beginning of a declaration of war post:

"To a certain scoundrel, a damned keyboard warrior black marketeer: the otherworld is not beyond the law. You must abide by harmony, friendship, prosperity, and peace!"

A beautiful Sun Goddess, with a shimmering golden halo above her head and six antique bronze coins fixed behind her back, her legs slightly apart, one hand gracefully forming an orchid gesture on her smooth forehead, the other resting on her hip.

This was the classic transformation pose of Sailor Moon.

"In the name of the Sun, I will punish you!"

As soon as the image was posted, countless people groaned in exasperation. "Declare war all you want, but what is this all about?"

Cross-dressing seems to make one audacious! This person is moving fast! We totally underestimated his shamelessness and adaptability! He instantly immersed himself in the life of cross-dressing, unable to extricate himself.

Cute Girl Wants to Evolve into a Dragon: "Perhaps he's always wanted this! (Sneers)"

Cute Girl Begs: "Awoo?! Keiya? Kyaa~? Shameless dog planner! Pay-to-win expert!"

A Needle: "Perverted big shot, I'm enlightened."

Countless people were discussing.

Everyone felt it was a bit of a disaster.

Other people would look shy after cross-dressing, allowing for pleasant teasing and banter, but this person seemed to be enjoying it! He even struck such a scandalous pose. If netizens praised his beauty and showered him with compliments, he might very well revel in it and thoroughly enjoy it...

Damn it! There's no way to even comment!

Meanwhile, as the group chat buzzed, "Mumu Doesn't Speak" secretly saw everything and immediately panicked. "He actually snuck in! How's he going to kill me? What should I do?"

He couldn't help but post:

"Akina Speed, I was wrong. Please let me off, please forgive me (shivering)."

Akina Speed: "Heh heh, forgiving you is Emperor Qi's job. My job is to send you to meet the Sun! (Sun Goddess Transformation Pic.jpg)"

This Sun Maiden immediately struck another cool pose, transforming like a Balala the Fairies character.

"You're so provocative!"

"Mumu Doesn't Speak"'s face instantly darkened, feeling his mind collapse. This was a crazy blow to his morale!

He had been boasting online, never expecting that Akina Speed would actually come to kill him. He quickly secretly inquired about the Sun Elf tribe, only to discover that they had secretly become incredibly powerful: Moon Riders, Hippogryph Archers, Elf Hero Druids... even the Alchemists had reached the sixth tier, their current strength no less than his own.

They had clearly been developing in secret and were only now openly declaring war. He had found out too late.

But how could he, a demon hunter, possibly yield?

He was currently traveling the world. Looking at Jirna beside him, he said, "I need to go out for a while."

Half a day later, he flew through the sky. "I need to truly act as a demon for once, tempting people to fall and granting them power. I must find a powerful human genius, comparable to Dao Changsheng or Armin, and figure out a way to help them rise! Otherwise, I won't be able to stand against the current elves!"

He traveled through countless small towns and finally spotted a young woodcutter.

The young man was heading up the mountain to chop wood. After cutting the firewood, he continued to swing his axe at trees, seemingly practicing his technique. What was most astonishing was that every single strike of his axe landed in precisely the same spot, not even a fraction off, showcasing extreme precision.

"Perhaps he'd make a good disciple."
