171: Chapter 171 How Much Cause and Effect Are Intertwined Between Us?

The power of the [Law of Causality] not only shocked everyone else, but even Chen Aoyun himself was deeply shaken.

"The [statue of liberty] having its head cut off by a single sword strike from [the motherland calls]—this might be a scene from the game 'Atomic Heart', or perhaps it's content from a secondary creation of this Old Era game.

If we treat the game's script as a book, as a unique story or legend,

then this is a classic allusion from the Old Era!

Of course, this explanation is a bit far-fetched.

But the allusion itself truly exists, and it conforms to the principle of 'self-consistency' in construction, so everything can proceed accordingly!"

Chen Aoyun silently summarized,

"After the image of the [statue of liberty] having its head cut off by a single sword strike from [the motherland calls] is recognized as a classic allusion, the two wonders involved in this scene become 'causally linked'!

Once the [Law of Causality] is formed this way,

and the entry constructed with this [Law of Causality] is written into the wonder, you get the ending where the wonder statue [statue of liberty] is decapitated by a single sword strike!

If the [Law of Causality] in an Old Era virtual game is already like this, what about the real [Law of Causality]?

Wouldn't it be even more capable of influencing wonders and heroic spirits?"

Chen Aoyun thought a lot about this.

How to effectively utilize the [Law of Causality] might become another important reliance for his future battles in the [Game of National Destiny]!

It was precisely while Chen Aoyun was summarizing these details,

that outside the arena, the [Strategists] from various countries present had already cast complex gazes toward Chen Aoyun.

Those who can become [Strategists] are all smart people.

From the French threatening the USA to initiate [Judgment], forcing the USA to compromise,

to Chen Aoyun taking the initiative to talk to the [Strategist] from Russia, and then having such a shocking battle outcome after that conversation.

There is no need to guess; the fact that [the motherland calls] could inexplicably chop off the head of the [statue of liberty] with a single sword strike is 10,000% related to Chen Aoyun.

Connecting this to the [Law of Causality] that Chen Aoyun mentioned earlier, the [Strategists] from various countries present had already pieced together the reasons.

"Actively utilizing the [Law of Causality]?

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I absolutely wouldn't believe such a thing could actually happen!

Over the thousands of years of the Old Era, because of cultural loss and historical gaps,

all countries knew of the existence of the [Law of Causality], but let alone actively using it, the [Law of Causality] hadn't even appeared that many times in total!

In the past, when the [Law of Causality] influenced the [Game of National Destiny], it was always a coincidence born of chance encounters.

Now, Chen Aoyun is actually able to actively utilize the [Law of Causality], which means that this [Strategist] from the Dragon Country is not only familiar with the [Huaxia Civilization] allusions inherited by the Dragon Country, but may also know the relevant allusions of other countries' heroic spirits and wonders!

This is too incredible!

And because of this,

perhaps from today on, countries coveting the Dragon Country will be even more wary of and target the Dragon Country.

And countries that have made many enemies in the [Game of National Destiny], such as Russia,

or countries that are stuck in the middle in the [Game of National Destiny], such as the [Ottoman],

might change their attitude toward the Dragon Country because of this performance by Chen Aoyun!

Is such a change good or bad for the Dragon Country..."

On the commentary stand, York's analysis flowed smoothly.

Looking back at the space where the arena was located.

After seeing [the motherland calls] chop off the head of the [statue of liberty] with a single sword strike, the gaze that Saku Kenichi directed at Chen Aoyun became even gloomier.

As the arena battle ended and the second act drew to a close, the space where the arena was located began to shake.

Before the space completely collapsed, Saku Kenichi said coldly,

"It was Russia's wonder that defeated the USA's wonder.

It was not your Dragon Country that defeated the USA to take first place in this act.

Don't get cocky."

The space was tearing like a shattered mirror, and the torn fragments of space brushed past Chen Aoyun. Looking at Saku Kenichi, Chen Aoyun smiled and said,

"Of course I'm going to be cocky.

In this act, I demonstrated my uniqueness, which might help the Dragon Country gain some allies in the future.

That's not the most crucial part; the most crucial part is that it allowed me to better understand the power of the [Law of Causality].

[Law of Causality]... Tsk tsk.

In the New Era, the Dragon Country and [Sakura Country] are neighbors, and naturally, it was the same in the Old Era; they were neighbors.

Between two neighboring countries, you think for me, how much [Causality] exists between [Huaxia Civilization] and the Sakura civilization?"

If it was just intense wariness before, then after Chen Aoyun asked these questions, that wariness turned into a kind of fear!

How much [Causality] is there between [Huaxia Civilization] and the Sakura civilization?

In this [Causality], who is the 'cause', and who is the 'effect'?

Who will be the restraining existence, and who will be the restrained one?

Both Chen Aoyun and Saku Kenichi had the answers in their hearts.

Therefore, Chen Aoyun's words were not a question at all, but a threat!

Your Sakura civilization was once a vassal civilization of my Huaxia; my [Huaxia Civilization] is your [Sakura Country]'s 'master', your [Sakura Country]'s 'daddy'!

In the Old Era, whether in terms of military force or culture, [Huaxia Civilization] was the side that held all the advantages in the [Law of Causality].

Now that I have realized the power of the [Law of Causality], in the future, this will be the hardline means for Huaxia heroic spirits to deal with your [Sakura Country] heroic spirits!

This is the subtext in Chen Aoyun's words!

This is Chen Aoyun's threat to Saku Kenichi!

Facing such a threat, Saku Kenichi's face was as cold as frost,

"Wait until this [Game of National Destiny] ends.

Once my [Sakura Country] uses [National War] to cut off your Dragon Country's [Huaxia Civilization] inheritance, your current threats will be nothing but a joke..."

Their gazes locked.

The space completely collapsed at this moment, and the familiar feeling of weightlessness arrived.

The second act completely ended...
