The Rogue Aesthetic of a Conscientious Player

“Of the nine great universes of old, only six remain. Of the ten civilizations, two have vanished into the river of history. Look at those three universes and two civilizations. Which of them did not excel in both civil and military affairs? Which did not enjoy peace and prosperity? Which was not stronger than Earth? Now Earth, too, has been swept into this game. Xu Tu, I know you are extraordinarily knowledgeable and always have something remarkable to say. Do you have a brilliant plan to keep Earth from meeting the same fate as those other races and secure lasting peace for generations to come?”

“...Could you put that in plain language?”

“Someone wants to kill us. What do we do?”

“Kill them first.”

“This... Xu Tu. War is a weapon of destruction.”

“Since ancient times, the Great Dao has been followed without regard for fortune or misfortune. If other races regard us as mortal enemies, why should we back down?”
