Chapter 867 Classmate

Time flies like an arrow, and time flies like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, three years have passed since the disaster that almost ended the world prematurely.

People's memories are limited. Trivial matters are forgotten in an instant. The focus of everyone's attention will lose its heat in a few days. Even a major disaster like the end of the world has been discussed for three years. If it is not specifically mentioned, most people have already erased the memory of it.

During these three years, both the world and the front lines were exceptionally peaceful.

Three years ago, in the void, Qian Jian and High Priest Haotian, two of the world's top figures, made a truce agreement. Although many things happened in the following years, the three-year agreement was still smoothly promoted. Even though it was said that there was a strong turmoil in the Heavenly Demon Realm, and even the God Realm was not immune, and the top management was also replaced, there was no provocation without authorization, and the truce agreement was extended.

This may be because people are really tired of war.

The war has been going on for hundreds of years, and the human world has suffered heavy losses, but the demon world cannot be said to have gained much benefit. Although they have invaded repeatedly, the place they can control is only a part of the broken domain, and even the most infiltrated place, such as the Taiyin Domain, has only been invaded halfway, forming a tug-of-war situation. The human world has not occupied an inch of land. The floating wealth robbed in recent years has not been used for development due to lack of planning. They only care about enjoying it, and rounding it up means squandering it. In recent years, the resistance encountered has become stronger and stronger, and the conflicts between the hundreds of races have not eased, so the demons are not as warlike as they were in the past.

Under the tacit understanding of both sides, there really was no war in three years. In addition, some high-level people who are good at communication organized some exchange activities between the two worlds, and sent envoys to do business, study, or research to promote mutual understanding. As the saying goes, "one can polish jade with a stone from another mountain", the participants gained new insights from another world and most of them gained a lot.

However, this is how the world works. When you are too quiet, you want to move; when you are too active, you want to be quiet. When the scar heals, the pain of the past is forgotten.

Three years is enough time for the most warlike people to be eager to try, for the more belligerent people to make secret plans, and for the majority of people to remain indifferent, or at least forget the horror of fighting.

  The three-year period has arrived, and peace... is crumbling!

Taiyin domain.

As the place where the power of the demons and humans is most balanced, Taiyin Territory is the forefront of communication during the truce period. There is even a "Two Rivers City" built here, with a peace trade union, a research institute, and a "Friendship Training College" that recruits students from both worlds. These are all witnesses of peace.

"Have you heard? Have you heard?" A young man hurried into the first class of Friendship College and shouted to the dozen or so students who were still studying in the classroom, somewhat excitedly and nervously: "The foreign students next door are ready to evacuate. The teleportation array has been opened."

"Ok?"

Everyone present was quite surprised. One of them, a tall and heroic-looking female swordsman, asked curiously, "So fast?"

"Not fast enough." The young man who just came in was slightly fat and looked very smart. Although his grades were not outstanding, he was the most well-informed person in the classroom. He also had a high status and a halo of the royal family. He was a "little prince". However, in this classroom, his status was useless. For example, the girl who was speaking, Yunxi Yanyun, although she came from the underworld, was very powerful and had a generous personality. She was considered a big sister in the classroom. Even the young prince had to give in.

"Three years, counting from April three years ago, is it already February? The area was cleared in March, and the war started in April. If we don't leave quickly, we won't be able to leave."

"I know, but didn't the Sword Court organize a meeting with the top leaders of the Demonic side to discuss whether to continue the armistice agreement? I thought they would make a decision only after a result was reached."

"This matter has had a result from the beginning." At this time, someone sitting next to him spoke. The young prince looked over and saw a proud young man. This person's status was no less than that of the young prince, and even more so, because he came from the Sword Court of the Sun Court, and his family was Han Ziyuan. Most of the students in the advanced training class came from the Sun Court, and the status of the Sun Court was more important than that of the human royal family, and the source of information was also higher.

"If the top leaders of the Heavenly Demon Realm were the same as they were three years ago, there would be a 30% chance that the truce would be extended. But a civil war broke out in the Heavenly Demon Realm two years ago. Now that the god is in power, a large number of conservatives have been suppressed. Now, except for Haotian, the top leaders have all been replaced by radicals. They are eager to invade right now, so how could they allow the truce to be extended?"

Yun Xiyan frowned and said, "I heard that the civil war has not ended yet. Those conservatives are still squabbling. They are in a mess, and they actually want to declare war on us? And doesn't the Haotian priest also prefer a truce?"

Han Ziyuan said calmly: "He was inclined to it before, but not now." As he spoke, he showed an expression that said "If you understand, you understand. If you don't understand, there's no need for me to tell you," and began to pack up.

"So that's what it is. We need to use external conflicts to divert internal conflicts and force internal reconciliation. Is that what you mean?" said a calm young woman next to her.

Han Ziyuan glanced at the student next to him, Pei Shoujing, who was one of the best students in his class, and said, "That's about right. You can figure out the reasoning behind this by yourself. War is inevitable. At most in a month, our training class will be disbanded, and we will all go home and pack up to go to the front. Everyone, I'm glad to have met you all. We come from all corners of the world and have different backgrounds. If it weren't for this 'Joint Seedling Program', we might never have met each other in our lives. But since we've met and we're classmates, we've gotten along well this year, and it's fate. If we meet on the battlefield, we can lend a hand to each other." As he said that, he put his backpack on his back and left the classroom.

He left like this. Except for the young prince who muttered, "Too pretentious," the rest of the people were only thinking about what he had just said and couldn't help feeling heavy-hearted.

For a while, everyone lost interest in studying and left one after another. Yun Xiyan sat for a while and felt irritated, so he stood up. Seeing Pei Shoujing also stood up, he said, "Let's go together?" "Okay."

There are not many women in the training class. Pei Shoujing and Yun Xiyan are both outstanding among them, but they are not close. This may be because they have different interests and personalities.

Pei Shoujing was a relatively standard good student. She was very good at studying, martial arts, and swordsmanship, but her hobbies were more inclined to be quiet. She was the same when studying, or she would sit quietly and drink tea, not interested in fighting. After a year of being classmates, most people didn't know what her sword was.

Yun Xiyan was just the opposite. She basically couldn't concentrate on her studies, but she was extremely talented in martial arts and swordsmanship, and she was also very competitive. She spent most of the year hanging around in the martial arts arena, and anyone who was willing to practice, whether human or demon, had been beaten by her.

Moreover, her sword was unknown to anyone. It was not that she did not take action, but that she did not need to use her sword. She relied on her fists and feet, and she could be said to be sweeping across the swordsman level. No one was qualified to ask her to use her sword.

The two had been classmates for a year, but rarely communicated privately. They just happened to come together today.

When Yun Xiyan pushed the door open, she saw that the door of the classroom opposite was also opened. The person inside walked towards her, and then with a "click", the door opposite was closed.

Yun Xiyan was stunned. Seeing that the opposite side was quiet and the door was closed, she stopped for a moment. Pei Shoujing said, "Let's go first. She doesn't want to see us, so we should go first. This way we can avoid embarrassment for each other."

Yun Xiyan sighed. She understood what it meant. There was also a training class in the door opposite. All the students in that class were demons.

In the past year, the students of the human class and the students of the demon class had classes on the same floor, and sometimes they even had classes in a large classroom, so they could be seen every day.

The academy's top management even has a plan to have humans and demons study in the same class, so that they can truly live together and help each other, but because it is too radical, it has not been implemented so far, and there probably will be no chance of it being realized in the future.

However, Yun Xiyan recognized the person who just came out from the opposite side, although it was only a flash. She was a female demon. Except for a pair of horns on her head and a thinner body than humans, she was no different from a human.

This demon was also defeated by Yun Xiyan, and the other party was also very combative. It can be said that he kept fighting after being defeated. However, the two did not hate each other. On the contrary, after fighting so many times, they actually felt a sense of mutual respect.

Later, the two of them would sometimes make plans to eat together and practice together, and gradually they really developed a friendship. If they were classmates for a few more years, perhaps they would really become good friends.

But there will probably never be another chance. The next time we meet, it might be a life-and-death battle.

Although Yun Xiyan was not a delicate and sensitive person, he also felt a sense of melancholy.

"The war is really going to happen." Yun Xiyan sighed.

"It's going to start. The first small-scale war will happen as soon as next month or as late as next year, and then the battlefield will spread out across the board, and soon it will return to the situation a few years ago when there was war everywhere and everyone was fighting. If we want to stop it this time, it may be that one side will be wiped out and the world will be occupied or completely conquered by the other side."

Yun Xiyan said: "Doesn't that mean there will never be peace?"

Pei Shoujing said, "Hmm?" and said, "Do you think the two sides will never be able to determine the winner?"

Yun Xiyan said: "The winner may be decided, but it will probably be a long, long time later. By then I will have turned into ashes. After death, everything is empty. For me, it is forever."

Pei Shoujing was lost in thought for a while before he said, "Yes. I don't want to spend my whole life without enjoying happiness, reading my favorite books, or doing what I want to do in just a hundred years, and then pick up a sword and fight non-stop until I die. How can the troubled times end?"

"It would be great if a great hero could come down from the sky to save the world."
