"Huh? Don't you know yet?"
Du Xiuming was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned to look at Qian Er on his left.
"Because it was important, I didn't tell anyone."
Facing everyone's questioning gazes, Qian Er didn't hide his embarrassment towards his teacher and said it straightforwardly.
"Alright, since none of you know, then I'll explain in detail the purpose of this localized war."
Du Xiuming scratched his head, quite satisfied with Qian Er's secrecy.

He took out the bottle containing the Skybull Core and placed it on the table.
"Some time ago, Qian Er discovered the secret of the Skybull's ability to revive, which is this. Each Skybull's body is supported by two such cores. As long as the core isn't destroyed, the Skybull can continuously reincarnate and revive. This core is neither flesh nor bone nor soul. After the Skybull's physical body dies, it will embed itself in the void as soon as possible, waiting for a chance to return. This is why we haven't discovered it for so many years."
Qian Er glanced at the bottle containing the core, amazed. As expected of a nation's ability to act. In such a short time, they not only verified the authenticity of the Skybull Core, but also figured out the principle of the core's revival, and, more importantly, came up with countermeasures.
Bang!
After hearing Du Xiuming's words, many people lost their composure and stood up abruptly, looking at the core on the table in astonishment. An indescribable ecstasy filled everyone's hearts.
At this moment, Professor Zheng Xin finally understood why Qian Er was to be crowned a king. If such a great achievement couldn't lead to a royal title, it wouldn't be convincing.
"Then… then this war…"
Soon, he came back to his senses, connecting every detail of the war. The original layers of fog suddenly cleared. He pointed at the bottle on the table, so excited that he couldn't speak.
"That's right. This war was initiated by us. Even the Skybull and the Soul Devourer were able to instigate the remaining two races because humans were secretly pulling the strings."
"The purpose is to bring all the main forces of the four races here, and with the help of the other three races, resist the Skybull's final counterattack."
As he spoke, Du Xiuming glanced at the faces of the people around him before beginning to explain.
"There is no restraint relationship between the human beast taming system and the Skybull. There has been no progress in weapons and beasts aimed at them for so many years. Our way of dealing with them has always been to pile up absolute power or absolute numbers. We may not really be able to withstand the Skybull's dying counterattack."
"But it's different here. Although the four races are currently allies, the struggle between races is ever-changing. Everyone is an ally, and everyone is an enemy. Today they are allies, tomorrow they will be enemies. The fall of a victorious race will move them."
Du Xiuming stroked his beard, a smile on his blood-stained face.
"Then what do we do next? Find someone to contact each of the races, and then negotiate?"
Qian Er leaned back in his chair to rest, while interjecting with a question.
"Of course not. This has nothing to do with us. It is the job of politicians outside to engage in alliances. What we need to do is to show our strength and let the other races understand that humans are still strong and not a small race that they can take away after they bring down the Skybull."
… …
At this time, outside the space, beyond the territory of the Icefang Dragons.
An Icefrost Lord slowly descended, with a group of people standing on the dragon's head.
"Sir, do we really have to provoke those Icefang Dragons like this?"
The beastmaster of the Icefrost Lord is called Du Ruo, who is Du Xiuming's grandson. He asked the person next to him somewhat timidly.
Because humans originally did not have Icefrost Bone Dragons. This kind of beast is a Quasi-God-level beast that humans obtained from the corpses of Icefang Dragons using special methods, and then used for breeding, becoming the current Quasi-God race.
This is undoubtedly a blasphemy against the corpses of the Icefang Dragons. In the past, when Icefang Dragons and Icefrost Bone Dragon beastmasters in other non-human territories met, the outcome was a never-ending battle.
But now, they are swaggering, riding the Icefrost Lord and appearing in the territory of the Icefang Dragons. Isn't this like jumping high in the toilet—courting death?
"Just go in like this."
The leader was a handsome middle-aged man. He stroked his beard, with a calm expression on his face.
"…Okay, then I'll accompany you to the death."
Du Ruo hesitated and glanced at the middle-aged man. He couldn't figure out where an ordinary person got such courage. But in the end, he gritted his teeth and agreed, urging the Icefrost Lord to fly into the territory in front of him.
As soon as they entered the territory of the Icefang Dragons, the group immediately felt the change in temperature.
Everything in front of them seemed to have turned into a kingdom of ice.
Unlike the deathly silent death ice of the Icefrost Bone Dragons, the ice here was full of vitality.
The moment the Icefrost Lord entered the territory of the Icefang Dragons, a huge dragon shadow streaked across the sky.
"I wouldn't say anything about you wandering around outside just now, but now you dare to come in. Even if I kill you here, the humans won't dare to say anything."
The low voice spoke intermittently, with each word pausing for a while, as if it hadn't spoken human language for a long time.
An Icefang Dragon hundreds of meters long landed on the ground, blocking the path of the group.
Feeling the terrifying pressure from the Icefang Dragon, the Icefrost Lord subconsciously became alert, instinctively letting out a threatening growl.
The Icefang Dragon glanced at the Icefrost Lord, its eyes flashing with sadness.
"Haha, long time no see, Ice King. You are as majestic as ever."
The leading official chuckled and jumped off the back of the Icefrost Lord, walked to the front of the huge Icefang Dragon, and gave it a salute.
"You are… Zhou Nong? Hehe, you're already so old. The aura on your body is starting to decay. In a few decades, you should be dead, right? Haha, how weak. How can humans, such a weak race, be one of the Twelve Victorious Races alongside us? Ridiculous!"
Looking at Zhou Nong in front of him, the Ice King's eyes were confused for a moment, but he quickly remembered who the person in front of him was, and then laughed loudly.
It remembered that the last time it saw Zhou Nong was twenty years ago. Only twenty years had turned a vibrant human into what he was now. How ridiculous.
Faced with the Ice King's ridicule, Zhou Nong only had a faint smile on his face.
"But it is this weak race that has killed countless Icefang Dragons, and even resurrected the bones of the Icefang Dragons for us to drive. Isn't that even more ridiculous?"
His voice made the Ice King's laughter stop abruptly. In an instant, the cold wind was biting, and the atmosphere seemed to be frozen.
