After a long time, Jiao Nu slowly said: "What you said seems to make sense, but why do I still think that the ancient demon is better?"
Fang Yun said: "They are good. They have such powerful strength, it would be strange if they are not good. But you have to understand that it is their good, not your good! If you want to get their good, whether it is to be self-reliant or to join them, there must be a prerequisite that you have the same power as them. Otherwise, even if they are omniscient and omnipotent, it has nothing to do with you."
The dragon girl stood there, at a loss as to what to do.
"Then, let me ask you a question. Will they willingly give you their power? Will the ancient monsters share their most powerful power with your Jiao clan? Or, if there is an alien aquatic tribe, such as the weak eel tribe, are you willing to dilute the blood power of your Jiao clan and share it with the eel clan?"
"No." said the dragon girl.
"The ancient demon thought so too."
"But the ancient monsters are very good, they might share some with us." The dragon girl looked at Fang Yun with fear.
"I can tell you clearly, no."
The dragon girl looked at Fang Yun, her eyes revealing her distrust of Fang Yun.
Fang Yun smiled slightly and said, "I know very well what you are thinking. You think that you have surrendered to the ancient demon and made enough efforts to make the ancient demon feel that you are valuable and worthy of cultivation. In other words, you think that you will be the unique and lucky person who will get their reward and become the lucky person who is infinitely close to the ancient demon. However, you instinctively overlooked one thing. If the ancient demon wins, will the thousands of people in the Gray Dragon Tribe get the same benefits as you? How different will the treatment of the hundreds of millions of aquatic creatures be from yours?"
The dragon girl's whole body stiffened and she slowly lowered her head.
"I won't criticize you. I'm just stating a fact: "All your thoughts are not because you really think the ancient demons are good, nor are they for the sake of your Gray Dragon Tribe. You just do it for yourself. You just think that if you leave where you are and become a member of the ancient demons, you will have everything. In the final analysis, it is your inner desire to get something for nothing that is influencing you. You don't use real efforts to gain power and beauty, but want to get everything you want by selling out your own people at the lowest cost."
"You attribute all your dissatisfaction, anger, unwillingness, injustice, etc. to the Gray Dragon Tribe and the aquatic tribe, and think that as long as you leave them, you will have everything. But in fact, it won't be! If one day you have everything you want, it will never be because you have left your original environment, nor will it be because of the help of the ancient monsters, but because you have gained strength, knowledge, experience, and stronger survival ability through your own efforts!"
The dragon girl buried her head deeply, her body trembling slightly, and she cried softly.
Slowly, the dragon girl's crying became louder and louder, and finally, she collapsed to the ground, wailing loudly.
"It was me who harmed the Gray Dragon Tribe! It was me who harmed them! I'm so stupid! I'm so stupid! Woo woo..."
Fang Yun looked at the dragon girl quietly.
After crying for a long time, the dragon girl raised her head and said, "I am too selfish, but if I succeed in going to the ancient demon, it will definitely be better, right?"
Fang Yun sighed and said, "You didn't see it clearly after all. If you want to get everything you want, there are two paths leading to the end. One is to be self-reliant and strong, relying on your own efforts to become the powerful person in your own tribe. The other is to also rely on your own efforts to become the powerful person in other tribes. On the first path, after you have power, at most you will be restricted. On the second path, you will not only be restricted, but also hostility, suspicion, vigilance, discrimination, and suppression from the power accumulated by other tribes for countless years."
"Can't I really fully integrate into their tribe?"
“You can fit in, but they’ll never accept it.”
"Why?"
"It's a very simple truth, and it has been said for countless years. Those who are not of my race must have different hearts."
The dragon girl looked at Fang Yun with a look full of doubt.
Fang Yun said: "Then, we can look at this matter from another angle. We all know that if you were originally an ancient demon, your final status would be much higher than yours in the Jiao clan. But the problem is that you are a Jiao clan, and you will never become an ancient demon in your bloodline. Therefore, to achieve the same status, you will have to work harder in the ancient demon clan. So, why don't you continue to stay in the water clan and achieve your ultimate goal in a more relaxed way?"
"I..." The dragon girl hesitated to speak.
"You are afraid because your heart tells you that you may not be that good. In order to cover up this, you blame all the faults on the outside world and on your own ethnic group. But in fact, this is not the real reason."
"Ah? What is the real reason?" the dragon girl asked curiously.
"The real reason is that you have never really worked hard. You have never found the right direction and worked hard! Because when you choose the right direction and work hard with the right method, you will definitely gain more power, and what you gain will definitely be much higher than today! This is the root of everything!"
The dragon girl stood in the water, her head buzzing. Fang Yun's words were like thunder, constantly echoing in her mind.
"The right direction, the right method, enough effort..." the dragon girl kept muttering to herself.
Fang Yun left a word and turned away.
“When you learn to reflect on yourself one day, when you stop blaming the outside world for everything, you will understand that everything we experience is not suffering, but the price and punishment for not working hard enough.”
After saying that, Fang Yun sighed.
Except for those outstanding geniuses or a very small number of lucky people, almost all intelligent creatures are like this dragon girl, even Fang Yun before he became a great scholar, was no exception.
Only if you are strong enough inside can you get rid of all this.
The best way to become strong innerly is to keep learning and experiencing the world.
Fang Yun’s water throne suddenly stopped.
"I roughly understand what it means to be able to understand the way by myself! What I do is the way to understand the way! Continuous learning is practice; continuous practice is learning."
Fang Yun smiled and quickly disappeared from the Jiao woman's sight.
Fang Yun did not summon the Great Sage Fu Yue, and his journey was smooth. When he encountered the ancient monster's legacy, he revealed his identity as Fu Yue. When he encountered the dragon clan's legacy, he revealed his identity as a dragon. He was truly like a fish in water, and had even more power.
Soon, Fang Yun arrived at the location of the Purple Sky Pillar mentioned by the mountain saint.
Fang Yun slowly climbed up a small hill on the seabed and looked up forward.
In front of me was an underwater plain with a radius of thousands of miles. On the left were endless transparent aquatic creatures, and on the right were endless transparent ancient monsters.
The array was like clouds and the soldiers were like rain, densely packed all over the battlefield.
The terrifying fighting spirit rose up, causing the surrounding sea water to roll violently, with surging white waves and sweeping undercurrents.
After countless tens of thousands of years, the memories of the two races still linger on this Dragon Soul battlefield.
"kill!"
The endless memories of the aquatic creatures and the memories of the ancient monsters collided with each other and started a fight.
At the top of their battlefield, dozens of huge transparent figures suddenly took action. Where they were, the sea water was emptied, holy power was vast, divine light was shining, endless phantoms of sentient beings were flying in the sky, and endless voices of sentient beings were loud and high.
