"Wonderful, what wonderful reasoning. From catching the small clues to getting close to the truth, ng Chao, you surprise ti and ti again!"
Lu Siya smiled and said, "Although all of this is just your speculation without any evidence, I can choose not to refute it. What exactly does a person need to do to refute soone else's baseless accusation?
"If it were anyone other than you who made such an accusation against , I would certainly be pissed and I wouldn't bother to say a word to him.
"I'm willing to accept the suspicion only because it's coming from you. I'm even willing to have a pure confrontation of thoughts with you without any evidence.
"Even if—please note that I'm talking about a big 'if'—the monster mastermind, which has seemingly disappeared, still has ten-thousandth of its power left in my body and there's a tiny possibility that it can be revived, so what?
"It wasn't my intention to be possessed by the monster mastermind. After I beca a wild banshee, I never hurt anyone... oh, except that ti I knocked you off the cliff into the Raging Tiger River to protect you. If you think that I've hurt you, then punish personally. I'll definitely face my punishnt and accept it.
"Aside from that, I don't feel that I've done anything to let you down, let Dragon City down, or let the millions of ordinary people living in Dragon City down. May I ask, what cri have I committed? Or rather, what harm will my existence cause to Dragon City?
"Even if—rember that I'm still emphasizing the 'if' here—the future that Su Mulian saw has so reference value, I didn't betray Dragon City in this future where the National Monster Transformation had been implented. Instead, I fought with this land that raised to the last mont. Is there anything wrong with that?
"Besides, I don't believe that the future can be predicted. Perhaps, we can only predict one, or at most, a few possibilities of the future. Those possibilities are only a tiny, insignificant part of the billions of possibilities for future developnt.
"If the future has been determined a long ti ago, what's the point of all our efforts right now? Are we all puppets manipulated by fate? Are we only allowed to follow the rules step by step and pretend that we're moving forward on a path that's been marked with an invisible hand by a certain existence higher than us?
"If that's the case, then isn't such a future, such reality, and such a fate a hundred tis more terrifying than the fact that I was possessed by the monster's mastermind?
"Do you really believe that in the near future, I'll be the main culprit who'll cause Dragon City's destruction? So, as long as you kill in advance, or make an accusation and put in prison and the laboratories so that I never see the light of day, you'll be able to prevent the apocalypse?"
Lu Siya's words made ng Chao fall into deep thought.
He thought of the apocalyptic scenes that kept flashing back in the depths of his mind.
In the first future that he "saw", "dread," or even "experienced," Lu Siya did not exist.
Without his help, Lu Siya would have died in the depths of Raging Waves Mountain Range. Naturally, she would not have had the chance to co into contact with the monster mastermind, get involved, and obtain the highest authority.
However, even without Lu Siya, Dragon City's civilization still faced the crisis of ten thousand suns exploding in the sky.
So, what was right and what was wrong? How could Dragon City be saved? Even if Lu Siya was truly a wild banshee, could killing or imprisoning her save Dragon City?
The vortex at the core of ng Chao's mind spun faster and faster.
All his thoughts and deductions about the future were in a ss.
He contemplated for a long ti, then slowly shook his head and said, "The plan of 'turning everyone into monsters' won't work. If we do that, it will only make the Dragon City civilization a second Turan civilization.
"Do you know what I saw in Picturesque Orchid Lake? They were compatriots of the sa civilization, but due to the difference in appearance, they were divided into different classes that were clearly separated and insurmountable. The carnivores turned into wolves, tigers, and leopards, and the ordinary people beca pigs, dogs, cows, and sheep. So were even labeled as 'rat people' who were even more unbearable than pigs, dogs, cows, and sheep, and they were at the rcy of the superior ones.
"For ten thousand years, the Turan civilization was trapped in a bloody reincarnation of the law of the jungle. From the proud space civilization in the past, it degenerated into a clan civilization that feasted on raw at and blood. It couldn't compete with the Holy Light faction, which occupied the center of the Other World.
"I don't want to see the Dragon City civilization that originated from Earth, see our incomparably proud human compatriots also beco like those cruel, ignorant, and deford half-human, half-beast creatures, those monsters in human skin!"
"So that's what it is. So, that's the knot in your heart?"
Lu Siya could not help but laugh. "How should I evaluate you, ng Chao? Sotis, you're extrely smart, but most of the ti, you're unbelievably stupid.
"Do you think the Turan civilization is what it is today because it was corrupted by the Eggs of Chaos and went through a National Monster Transformation, turning their entire race into half-human, half-beast beings?
"Perhaps, to be more accurate, you think that class barriers are caused by the difference in appearance. As long as they all look exactly the sa, the rich or poor, strong or weak, can sincerely regard each other as compatriots and equals?
"You even think that the rat people are bullied and oppressed because they look like rats, and that everything will be better if they change their appearance?
"Hehe, you're too naive.
"In the Earth era, humans all looked exactly the sa, and there wasn't much difference in power between them.
"Yet, the human versions of 'wolves, tigers, leopards, pigs, dogs, cows, and sheep,' which were the nobles and peasants, still existed for at least thousands of years. The bullying, exploitation, slavery, and slaughter among human beings who looked exactly the sa are just as bad, if not worse, than what you saw in Picturesque Orchid Lake.
"Were the humans of the Earth era, our ancestors, also possessed and parasitized by so kind of invisible monster? And were they all monsters in human skin?
"In the modern age where civilization has developed and in today's world where Dragon City has crossed worlds and everyone is united, the powerful and influential people stand high above the masses and monopolize most of the training resources, cultivating themselves into unparalleled beings that are beyond the Deity Realm. They can literally destroy the world. Life for the ordinary is tough, and the pressure from competing is getting greater. They can only live in humble hos as they work day and night. Plus, they willingly allow the strong to exploit them in the small hope that they earn enough necessities for themselves and their future generations.
"If the Dragon City civilization continues to develop like this, how different will the lives of the ordinary people be from that of the rat people you saw in Picturesque Orchid Lake? Even without the monsters' influence, their lives are getting worse and worse, and their chances are getting slimr and slimr."
