Is there really such a thing?
Qin Chen was speechless. In the universe, the Human Race and the Demon Tribe were clearly arch-enemies, having fought for countless years, and even engaging in brutal battles on the battlefield of the myriad races.
Yet, in this black market, even when they encountered each other, there was no intention of fighting. Instead, they could sit down and negotiate for treasures.
This made it difficult for Qin Chen to accept for a moment.
The dwarf elder, seeing Qin Chen lost in thought, couldn't help but smile and said, "There's actually nothing hard to understand about this. In my opinion, the contention among the myriad races is merely for mutual benefits. Whether it's the Human Race, the Demon Tribe, the Monster Race, the Insect Race, or any other races, all strive for their own race to become the foremost race in this universe."
"Even without the invasion of dark forces, this war would still occur, but it might not necessarily be between the Human Race and the Demon Tribe. It could be between the Demon Tribe and the Monster Race, or the Monster Race and the Insect Race, etc. As long as there are benefits, peace will never be possible in the universe."
"This is from the perspective of races. From another perspective, unless those oppressed can unite and strive, these races can abandon personal interests for the interests of their group. However, for some top-tier races, whether it's the Demon Tribe or the Human Race, or even the Monster Race, Insect Venerable, Sea Tribe, etc., there will also be many factions within."
"Each faction will fight for their own interests and target other factions to strengthen themselves, even disregarding the interests of their own race."
"This is still between factions."
"Even within the same faction, there will be competitions. Who is the boss? Who is first? They will fight to the death over this, and this is the struggle among factions."
"The black market is a neutral faction, so those who enter the black market represent themselves, representing the individual. Therefore, seeing the peaceful coexistence of opposing factions here is also quite normal."
The dwarf elder spoke lightly, yet it left Qin Chen with deep thoughts.
Indeed! He had been accustomed to the wars between humans and demons, neglecting this point. The world is bustling for profit, and the world is chaotic for the sake of benefit. From different angles, one can see different positions.
Thus, the coexistence of the Human Race and the Demon Tribe in this black market became more understandable.
Not to mention, places like the Star God Palace and the Great Universe Divine Mountain, which are clearly human forces and quite famous top-tier forces among the Human Race, can disregard the interests of their race for their own benefits. With such a group of people, what else is impossible to happen?
"I have learned from your teachings."
Qin Chen smiled and said.
"You're being too kind. I've just stayed in this black market for a long time and seen a lot, which has led to these reflections. I hope you won't mind."
The elder hurriedly replied with a smile.
As the group walked on the wide street, there were many vendors around shouting, selling their goods.
"Soul-seeking stone, can seek souls. If a relative has been killed, one can find their soul within a few days, unless the soul has completely scattered. Otherwise, one can find a trace of their relative's true spirit. Only one piece available, hurry to buy it!"
A phantom-like figure from a different race floated in the air, shouting.
"What price?"
Someone immediately inquired, "Ten late-stage Saint Master Holy Veins, or a nine-tailed divine light fish weighing one pound, or one million five hundred thousand general merit points, all are acceptable!"
The floating being replied.
"So expensive?"
That person remarked.
"Heh, this soul-seeking stone is extremely rare, and it is derived from the essence of my race, so its value is extraordinary."
The other race being stated.
That person shook his head, ultimately not purchasing it, and turned to leave.
