in the name of the queen.

Time flies by, burying the past invisibly.

The changes on the fourth return day are already a thing of the past.

Some were born, some died, and in the blink of an eye, the Theia plane had entered the hundredth year of the Rebirth Era.

Countries and forces separated and merged, eventually forming a new pattern.

The continent of Rodinia is still home to several powerful nations, and there haven't been many changes.

Over the past hundred years, wars led by ordinary people have mainly occurred outside the Rodinia continent, and disputes within the continent have been mainly resolved through negotiations and transactions.

After all, these countries have a common prime minister, Roland.

When he was busiest, he served as Prime Minister/Cardinal Minister/CEO of Sussex, Golden Kite, Vladimir, Pruden, Tyrol and the six countries of the Magic Empire. He was also the most trusted honorary knight of the Pope of Light.

His resume is so rich that even Lu Bu has to call him brother when he sees him.

Since they are all countries he governs, there is no reason for fighting to the death.

These are all internal conflicts, we can sit down and talk slowly. If we really can't reach an agreement, then we can go to the Arena of Truth and speak with strength.

Under Roland's leadership, several major countries obtained territories that were not completely satisfactory but at least 90% satisfactory through territorial exchanges and the development of overseas provinces.

Not perfect, but better than before, and that's good enough.

The war mainly broke out in the New World and the Southern World.

The southern continent is fought over by the Darkin, the Magic Empire, and Nubia.

As the number of Darkspawn increases, they gain the upper hand in the war, but the combined strength of Nubia and the Magic Empire should not be underestimated.

After the discovery of a rare super magic crystal vein in the northern desert of the southern continent, the power of the Magic Empire expanded rapidly, and the two sides returned to the same starting line again.

After several brutal wars, the three parties were exhausted and could only accept the existence of the other two parties.

As for the natives of the southern continent, they were spoils of war.

The opposition to the spoils was fierce, but no one cared.

The situation in the New World was originally very simple. The two sides reached an agreement, the traditional colonial countries gradually withdrew, the maritime forces came ashore, and everyone was happy.

The opinions of local indigenous people were also ignored.

But as expected, accidents occurred during the expansion of the New World.

The mobile island of Lisenburg suddenly appeared, and the God's Punishment Legion landed on the new continent to expand its sphere of influence.

Perhaps it was the annihilation of the Sixth Legion that made them feel a survival crisis, or perhaps it was an oracle from the divine world. In any case, they came.

The strength of the 345th Divine Punishment Legion is by no means comparable to that of the 6th Legion.

After they arrived, they quickly dealt with the indigenous slave owners and primitive monarchs who stood in their way, and spread the glory of the Lord on this fertile land.

To be fair, although the God's Punishment Legion is full of arrogance and prejudice and is very cruel to their enemies, compared with the New World which is still in a slave society or even primitive tribes, they are as civilized as saints.

There is no harm without comparison. The indigenous people of the New World lived a life worse than that of cattle and horses under the double oppression of local slave owners and foreign colonists. The God's Punishment Legion suddenly came, bringing them civilization and freedom, and spreading the glory of the Goddess. How could they not accept it?

If the center of the New World had not been cut off by a narrow land bridge, the glory of the three goddesses would probably have swept across the entire New World in a short period of time.

The area of ​​the New World south of the land bridge belonged to Poseidon and marine life.

The marine life shouted the slogan "Land, Land" and rushed to the beach with wet steps, embracing the sunshine and fresh air they had longed for.

Unlike those races that landed for the first time, the sea demons were returning home.

They finally landed on the land that countless generations had longed for.

Sirens also have their own territory, and many wetlands and lakes have become their new territory.

Here they can not only retain their original basic lifestyle, but also trade conveniently with humans. This is the way of survival summed up by pioneers such as Munina.

The seafood that landed was very excited, and then they were wilted by the sun.

They gradually discovered that the land was not beautiful. Or rather, although it was beautiful, it was not suitable for them.

Because they have adapted to the humid underwater world, their residence cannot be far from water, so they prefer to live in large lakes, rivers and wetlands.

Several years later, after experiencing countless hardships, the sea demons and sirens finally stopped to re-examine the world, and doubts finally emerged from their hearts.

What on earth are they doing?
The seafood that landed finally realized that they were just moving from larger waters to smaller ones.

Billions of years of obsession, countless generations of hard work, the sacrifices and blood of brave warriors, and all we get in return is from the ocean to the pond?

Some things cannot be thought about too much. The more you think about them, the more confused you become. They fell into deep thought.

Some people even want to return to the ocean, to their dark yet extremely familiar hometown.

The winds there are strong and the waves are rough. It is dangerous everywhere. There are no delicious food or tall buildings.

But there is the pace of life there that they are used to.

These old sea demons and sirens who missed the ocean were ridiculed by young people, who called them old dogs who could not adapt to life on land.

Young people have strong adaptability. They can adapt to the relatively dry land as well as to city life.

Many people are confused and they don’t understand why there is such a divide between the younger and older generations.

"Because once a fish reaches land, it is no longer a fish."

Roland calmly answered questions for the beautiful guest sitting opposite him.

As a leader of knowledgeable people and a disseminator of knowledge, answering questions for guests is also part of the service.

Catalina, who was sitting opposite him, had strange eyes and looked at Roland in disbelief.

Roland was right. Although there was no difference between the two generations in appearance, their thinking patterns were like the difference between fish and humans.

Although the older generation of sea demons and sirens don't like being called fish, their essence is that they are talking fish.

The younger generation is different. Most of them have very vague memories of the ocean. They have been eating delicacies from the civilized world since childhood, living in buildings made of concrete and steel, and even taking trains and cars when going out.

This is only the first generation of people to come ashore, and their living habits still retain some of the fishy smell of the ocean.

The second and third generations of the Hai family are even more outrageous.

It is said that cow's milk can help children grow healthily, so many wealthy sirens are very fashionable and buy milk for their cubs to drink.

Even Roland, who was very receptive, found this scene magical.

The sea dwellers are ovoviviparous and feed their young with cow's milk.

Non-mammals feed their offspring with mammalian milk because they've heard it's good for kids.

Mammals and non-mammals alike fell silent upon seeing this scene.

However, this magical and absurd scene is only a small reflection of the various strange situations in the Seventh Era.

As more and more strong people win the resurrection match, they return to their familiar hometown only to find that everything has changed and Roland still has a lot of problems to face.

Not only strong people from various races but also the technology tree are needed to win the resurrection match.

Originally, due to the depletion of oil, the industrial technology tree had a huge gap between steam engines and electricity.

Although Roland pointed out the direction of development for scientists, which was to jump directly from steam engines to electric motors, his imagination was scoffed at by scientists, who also banned him from attending high-level natural science conferences.

In the second year after the Academy of Sciences banned Roland, a vein of magic crystals was discovered in the Death Desert, and scientists were surprised to find that magic civilization could fill this gap. The vacancy of the internal combustion engine was filled by magic crystal technology, and mankind finally entered the electric age.

Roland was extremely excited when he saw the first light bulb, which only glowed for five minutes before going out.

Others may not understand the value of these five minutes of light, but he understands it very well.

The Age of the Gods is an era in which technology and superpowers develop in parallel and flourish.

Although the three goddesses' ascension to deity had nothing to do with technology, Roland believed that only a brilliant civilization could give rise to the opportunity to become a deity.

Under Roland's guidance, people of the new era are moving toward a broad road that has a twist but the same destination.

However, the remnants of the old era came back clutching the medals of the winners of the resurrection match.

The time they won the resurrection match was roughly the opposite of the time they left.

The strong ones from the Sixth Era returned first, followed by those from the Fifth Era and the Fourth Era.

The powerful ones who returned in the Sixth Era were not the many powerful monarchs in the history of the Magic Empire, but their enemies.

Warriors called Barbarians by the Magic Empire.

When they returned to their hometown, they were shocked to find that the land was still the familiar land, but their country was gone.

Their homelands fell one after another on the road to conquest by the magic empire and became the cornerstones of magic civilization.

After finally escaping from hell, I wanted to enjoy a wonderful life with my fellow villagers, but I found out that all my clan members were gone. It was not a good feeling.

If that were all, they might feel bad, but they wouldn't be out of control.

But they were soon surprised to find that the magic empire still existed.

Although the New Magic Empire and the previous Magic Empire are strictly speaking two countries, they don't care, they want revenge.

Their people and country have become the dust of history, but the Magic Empire is still thriving. Why?
The returning strong men of the Sixth Era united under the impetus of a common enemy and formed the Lawbreakers Alliance. They called on a group of marginalized small countries and began to confront the Magic Empire.

In order to appease these emotional Lawbreakers, Roland tried his best to mediate, but was flatly rejected by the Lawbreaker Alliance.

"Have your country and people been destroyed by the Magic Empire? If so, please join us. If not, please shut up."

Faced with the righteous questioning of the Lawbreakers Alliance, even if Roland was thick-skinned, it would be difficult to refute.

Don't go through people's suffering, don't encourage people to do good.

Roland also hated the behavior of talking without any pain, so he had nothing to say.

Since there was nothing to say, he could only stand firmly on the side of the Magic Empire.

In a harmonious society, people can help those who are right rather than those who are relative, but in this chaotic world, everyone helps their relatives rather than those who are right, and he is no exception.

Fortunately, the homeland and ethnic group of the Lawbreakers Alliance have been destroyed. They cannot destroy the Magic Empire through secular wars and can only try with their own strength.

After several years of tug-of-war, the Lawbreakers Alliance finally realized that if the current Magic Empire's combat power is ten times greater, at least half of it lies with their emperor.

They suddenly realized and changed their playing style.

The final battle between the Lawbreakers Alliance and the Magic Empire was fought in the form of a wheel-based arena battle.

Each of the seven Lawbreaker Alliances sent out a strong man to fight on behalf of the country and ethnic group they once belonged to.

On the Magic Empire side, the Magic Emperor and the Executive Officer will go to the battle, and the number of people must be equal.

This world-renowned duel took place at the ruins of the Arena of Truth.

During the heyday of the Magic Empire, this Arena of Truth had buried countless celebrities.

At least four emperors, more than fifty central-level executives, hundreds of scholars and even more generals spent the last part of their lives in this arena.

This arena also saw off hundreds of barbarian kings and chiefs.

It is quite appropriate to have a "truth debate" here.

Looking up at the wall clock, the "Truth Debate" was about to begin. Catalina moved her fingertips, and the real-time image of the arena appeared in the shadow.

As she waited for the show to begin, her mind drifted away and she fell into deep thought.

In the past few decades, the world outside of Rodinia has been in chaos.

A super magic crystal vein that is larger than the Magic Empire in its heyday has been discovered in the Death Desert in the north of the Southern Continent, and it is not difficult to mine.

Magic crystals are the cornerstone of magical civilization and are more important to industry than oil.

Without oil, at least there is coal, which allows us to jump directly to the deformed technology tree of electricity.

Without magic crystals, magic civilization simply cannot exist.

These magic crystals turned the Death Desert into a cradle of life and the northern part of the Southern Continent into the back garden of the Magic Empire.

Magical civilization filled the gap from steam engines to electricity, allowing magic and technology to blend together in an awkward yet harmonious manner.

Ugly yet sophisticated tech tree.

This is Roland's evaluation of this rapidly developing world.

Of course, he could only keep these words in his heart, and he would speak seriously in front of others.

Having been prime minister for so many years, of course he can speak official language.

The conflict between the Magic Empire and the Lawbreakers Alliance has existed for too long and has become a tangled mess that cannot be resolved.

No one can persuade.

Even if we want to trace the origin, people don't know when to start.

Did we start from the large-scale conquests of the surrounding areas by the Magic Empire? Or from the rise of the Magic Empire? Or was it earlier, from the Seven Kingdoms War in the pre-Magic Empire era?
Their disputes are very much like this world.

Hatred has lasted so long that people only remember the hatred but forget where it comes from.

There are very few like the elves and earth spirits who have been forced to give up their hatred because they have declined to the point where they can only maintain their tribe.

Most of the time, we can only forget it physically.

Lisa accepted the duel invitation from the Lawbreakers, but instead of looking for helpers, she publicly announced that she would take on no matter how many people the Lawbreakers had.

Her arrogance angered the top brass of the Lawbreakers Alliance, who vowed to kill her during the Truth Debate.

Although they had thought so before, Lisa's provocation made them no longer hesitate.

"Can you win?"

Catalina frowned slightly as she watched the two sides of the debate come on stage.

Her finger pointed at the strongest spellbreaker.

"He is immune to almost all magic and can increase the caster's consumption through mental attacks. Is Miss Lisa okay?"

"It's a guaranteed win. People can be immune to magic, but the environment can't. As long as you destroy the environment, you can kill the immune person. This is the basic operation of a magician."

Roland's lips curled up slightly. Lisa finally appeared.

The magician versus the magic nemesis, the spellbreaker, is indeed an interesting battle. (End of this chapter)
