Well blow me down, is the Human Emperor about to give up?
"Our celestial soldiers have suffered too many casualties."
Xuanyuan Huangdi's eyes were somewhat dazed as he sighed:
"We now have to start conscripting soldiers from the East Continent, setting this precedent means the Human Race is stepping fully into an era of war.
"But the problem is, there are too many experts and Great Powers out there. If a Great Power doesn't care about getting entangled in karma, they could single-handedly annihilate a million celestial soldiers.
"If only Heavenly Dao had some way to restrain the Great Powers, my Human Race would have won long ago."
Li Ping'an looked up at the blue sky and white clouds in the top left corner of the tent's entrance, sharing in Xuanyuan Huangdi's daydreaming.
The two men, both to a certain extent able to determine the pattern of the world, sat in silence until Xuanyuan Huangdi took the initiative to speak:
"How about we enter into a marital alliance?"
