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 . ”
“That is true . Thus, I am making a change,” Lefon said . “I think I should do it from two directions: changing the Orcs’ nature from a ‘warrior race,’ and changing the Orcs’ hostile attitudes towards humans . The former has a lot of implications . I can only run experiments here in the Holy Kingdom for now . As for the latter, I have already let my voter try to practice it . It seems it’s pretty effective . ”
“Effective?”
“Yes . Just look at the expedition to the South this time . After the Orcs took over a human city there was no massacre,” Lefon said . “That is an improvement . ”
“But the war itself is not necessary!” Sui Xiong emphasized . “In my territory, there are also Orcs, half-Orcs and humans . Everyone gets along! There is no hostility at all!”
“That is because the Orcs willing to leave the grasslands to find a living elsewhere were already open-minded . They were not restricted by tradition . ” Lefon smiled as he drew a line in the air with his hand . Many scenes appeared in front of them, divided into two halves . The first showed the Orcs who chose to go outside to find a living . Although they did not get along with humans very well, they could mostly control their natures and be law-abiding . Still, there was a high percentage who became bandits . On the other side were the Orcs who stayed in tribes on the grasslands . They lived their nomadic lives day after day . They passed on their ancestors’ bravery by oral history, telling every generation about it . The greatest ideal in their lives was to become strongmen and make their marks and careers in the expedition to the South .

“I think there is probably no race in this world weirder than us Orcs . You cannot find any common similarity, besides in appearance, between the Orcs who left the tribes and the Orcs who stayed,” Lefon said . “My guess is that maybe Orcs are a race that easily changed in nature . Perhaps we only need a few generations before changing the long-standing traditions . ”
“Then why can’t we change now?” Sui Xiong asked .
“It is too painful for Orcs to do in one step,” Lefon opened his hands and said straightforwardly . “It is better to solve the problem through war . This is a way that Orcs can accept .
“Speaking of which, I still have to thank you,” He smiled again and said . “When you were in the demarcation zone between nomads and farms, you used your own way to solve the long-standing problems . It looked very stupid and perverted at first glance, but in reality, the effects were pretty good . My voter applied the same idea between Orcs and humans, I think the effects should be not bad . ”
Sui Xiong frowned as his tentacle drew a line and the scene in the Orc captive camp appeared . “This situation cannot be considered ‘not bad’!”
Lefon looked at it, and asked with a little doubt, “Isn’t it pretty good? I can see those men and rabbits are having quite some fun . ”
“Your voter’s way is stripping away human reproductive rights and forcing them to produce hybrids,” Sui Xiong said, sighing deeply . “This is not resolving conflict, it’s making humans extinct!”
“I cannot agree with this; there was no massacre . ”
“It’s only a matter of short or long-term massacre . ” Sui Xiong’s voice slowly turned cold . “This separates human men and women of reproductive age and only lets the men and rabbit race convene to give birth of half-Orcs . Once this generation of humans dies of old age, isn’t that extinction?”
Lefon touched his chin and thought deeply .
After a while, He nodded his head slightly . “How could I not think of that?! Turning humans into half-Orcs would solve all our problems!” He said .
“Hey! That thought in itself is problematic!” Sui Xiong yelled .
“There is no problem, no problem at all!” Lefon smiled and was about to say something, but He suddenly frowned and looked coldly towards the sky .
“I take that back,” He said . “The problem is coming now . ”
