Fang Yun sighed and said, "Of course the ancient monsters will say that they are not like that. Of course they want to show the good to outsiders. The internal struggles of the ancient monsters are no different from the internal struggles of the water tribe."
"You're talking nonsense! The chief of our Gray Dragon tribe said that the ancient monsters are good in every way, and many dragon tribes also said that the ancient monsters are powerful and better than the dragon tribe. Many water tribe saints also said that the dragon tribe is not good and the ancient monsters are good. Are you saying that the water tribe leaders are lying to us? What's so good about them praising the ancient monsters? I don't believe it." said the female dragon.
Fang Yun was stunned and was speechless.
It was not until then that Fang Yun understood the root cause of the matter.
The Jiao girl lived in the last period of the dragon clan. At that time, all the powerful saints of the dragon clan disappeared or died in battle. They declined for hundreds of years and had long lost the glory of their heyday.
On the contrary, the ancient monsters at that time rose like a comet, flourishing like a raging fire, and reached their peak.
At that time, most of the high-ranking members of the aquatic tribe were afraid of being beaten and bullied, like boneless fish without spines.
The pessimism of the upper class will naturally affect the middle class and then spread to the grassroots level.
When this negative influence spread throughout the entire water tribe, the water tribe was doomed. Even if there was hope for rise, it was overthrown by everyone's inner fear and envy of the ancient monster.
At the end of the Dragon Clan, many water creatures envied the power of the ancient monsters and began to contact some of the ancient monster clans with whom they had blood ties.
The most famous tribe at that time was the Poison Dragon Tribe, which claimed to be the descendants of the ancient blood dragon tribe. The entire tribe collectively betrayed the water tribe and joined the ancient monster camp. Later, after the rise of the monster barbarians, the Poison Dragon Tribe also switched to the monster barbarians, and was known as the tumbler of all tribes.
Fang Yun sighed and said, "As far as I know, when the water tribe fought against the ancient monsters, many alien races and fierce creatures once joined forces with the ancient monsters to suppress the water tribe. The ancient monsters were afraid that the fierce creatures would become powerful, so they did deceive the water tribe and wanted to reconcile with the water tribe. During that period, the high-level officials of the water tribe were blinded by short-term interests and thought that the ancient monsters could really help them. In order to resolve the hostility between the two tribes, they kept beautifying the ancient monsters in the water tribe. Later, the ancient monsters found that although the fierce creatures and alien races were powerful individually, they could not threaten the ancient monsters as a whole. On the other hand, the water tribe had been hurt and began to keep a low profile and forge ahead with determination, with the hope of rising. Therefore, the ancient monsters immediately turned against them and joined forces with the fierce creatures and alien races to completely exterminate the dragon tribe. Many water tribes have not yet realized the root cause of this. They still think that the water tribe is incompetent and hopeless, and that the ancient monsters represent the most powerful and civilized force in the world, which has led to the collapse of morale and the disintegration of the people's hearts."
The Jiao girl blinked and said, "I don't understand."
"Kneel down!" Fang Yun suddenly flew into a rage, and the dragon power of his seal burst out, as if the Dragon Saint himself had arrived.
The dragon girl was so frightened that her body went limp and she fell to the ground. Then, a strange smell rose from the water and she became incontinent.
"Mercy! Please spare me, sir! Your Majesty Lord Star Dragon, please spare me!" The snake girl kowtowed in fear.
Fang Yun let out a long sigh, and the water surged, lifting up the dragon girl.
"Do you understand now?"
"What?" The dragon girl trembled with fear, not understanding what was going on.
"Why are you afraid of me? Why do you envy the ancient demons? It's not that I or the ancient demons represent truth, civilization, correctness, beauty, and kindness, but that we represent powerful forces. Only with powerful forces can we safeguard our own interests, become richer, and be better in all aspects, and obtain more resources from the Ten Thousand Worlds. The resources of the Ten Thousand Worlds may be endless, but the resources that each race can obtain are limited. Only with powerful forces can we obtain more resources and make you think that the ancient demon race represents correctness, represents civilization, and is better than you in every way. You only see these good points of them, but never explore why they are good."
"It must be because of the power?" asked the dragon girl.
Fang Yun said: "If you understand the history of various ethnic groups, you will find that in the early days of life, each ethnic group had only one purpose, survival, and the basis of survival was to obtain food. Throughout history, in periods of food shortage, the number of any ethnic group was very small, but once an ethnic group solved the food problem, the population would grow significantly. It is precisely because of food that more people will be liberated to do things other than obtaining food, such as making pottery and stone weapons, managing their own people, painting, singing, thinking, learning, educating... and so on. You will find that these things you can do after eating are far better than chasing wild animals without clothes and getting bloody and injured, far better than working hard on the land with sweat, and far better than eating the corpses of your own people in order to survive. Therefore, you should know that the beauty of human beings comes from having a strong ability to survive and from food that never runs out. Therefore, more beauty and more ability to survive come from various resources similar to food."
Fang Yun paused for a moment and said slowly: "Food is the basis of life, and resources are the basis of the survival of the tribe. Without sufficient power, how can a tribe continue those beautiful things? When the dragon tribe was at its peak, were you, the Gray Dragon Tribe, miserable?"
The dragon girl said shyly, "The old dragons of the Gray Dragon Tribe often miss the ancient times. At that time, the Gray Dragon Tribe lived a very good life. However, it was far inferior to the ancient monsters."
"It's very simple. Your power is not as strong as that of the ancient monsters. Of course, there is also the progress of the times. When Confucius was alive, the power of the human race reached its peak. He and his disciples fought against the world as a family. However, through comparison, you will find that ordinary people at that time did not live as well as ordinary people now. The reason why the human race lives better than before is that the contributions of the living saints or officials of various countries only account for a small part. Most of the credit belongs to the accumulation of the human race and every hard-working person. The saints of the human race only need to ensure the order and stability of the human race. With the power of the times and development, and the talents of the predecessors and modern people, they can slowly make the human race live a better life." Fang Yun said.
"But, we gray dragons are not strong enough and can never defeat the ancient demon. Why don't we just join the ancient demon? That way, we can at least live better than we do now." said the snake girl.
Fang Yun laughed and said, "Too many tribes surrendered to the ancient demons. If you are knowledgeable enough, you will find that in the battle with the dragon clan, one-third of the tribes that surrendered to the ancient demons were exterminated. In the battle with the demon barbarians, 70% of the tribes under the ancient demons were exterminated. So, I have a question, why would the ancient demons be kind, selfless, loving, and help your Gray Dragon Tribe without expecting anything in return?"
"Because they are nice." The dragon girl answered seriously.
"If they are really good, why do they still attack the dragon tribe? Why don't they just give all the resources and treasures to your Gray Dragon Tribe, and let your Gray Dragon Tribe become a top tribe on par with ancient monsters, dragons, fierce creatures, etc.? If they are really as good as you say, why do they still rob the property of other tribes, why are there fights within the tribe, why are there laws to restrain, punish, and imprison people of the same tribe? If they are so good, why are there still races discriminated against within the ancient monster tribe, why are there still races that have a hard life? Why do ancient monsters fight with the water tribe for the resources of the Ten Thousand Worlds? Why do they want to occupy more resources and wealth? If they are good, wouldn't it be truly good to not fight or rob anything and give it to you?"
The dragon girl stared at Fang Yun blankly, her eyes were confused and her mind was blank.
