Su Lun's theory sounded familiar to Meng Chao.
Gao Ye seemed to have said something similar when he turned into a Giant Sandworm.
"Are you going to say that we have to turn into monsters to survive in the Other World?" he asked with a frown.
"Isn't that the case?"
Su Lun went on nonstop. "Based on the old saying on Earth, an orange is born in Huainan, and an orange is born in Huaibei. Different places nurture different people. How can the rulers of different planets be the same?
"The prerequisite for human civilization to prosper on Earth is that there is no super energy known as spirit energy on Earth. Compared to the Other World, the materials there are more stable, and the speed at which they evolve is thousands of times slower. There aren't many differences between individuals of the same race, and even the strongest individuals, such as whales, elephants, and even dinosaurs, aren't strong enough to change nature or even destroy the world on their own.
"In this sort of environment, humans, who claim to be the smartest of all creatures, awakened to the ability to communicate with each other using language and learn how to use tools. They gradually grew to become the kings at the top of the food chain and developed a brilliant civilization. They also had morals, laws, and other things to coordinate social relationships. This is only natural.
"But the Other World isn't like that.
"In the Other World, where we have spirit energy, materials are unstable, and the speed at which we evolve and mutate is thousands of times faster than on Earth, even if we don't consider monsters and the other intelligent life forms in the Other World, the difference in strength, wealth, and authority between the strongest Deity Realm superhumans and the weakest lair orphans is ten thousand times greater.
"Can the dragons that soar in the sky become compatriots with the earthworms lurking in the ground and fight together?
"Impossible!
"Admit it. From the moment we transmigrated to the Other World, discovered spirit energy, and started cultivating, humans have been quietly and swiftly splitting apart. Even now, even though we still wear similar human skins, we are already completely different species. No matter how much we want to use the morals, laws, and social system from Earth to tie the strongest and weakest together and use slogans like 'the blood of the strong flows for the weak' to paint ourselves up, we can't hide the weakness and deformity of our civilization.
"The simplest example is the battle of the lair that just happened.
"In this battle, the Vortex brought a group of former Reaper Squad members and a mob of robbers, but it managed to turn the lair upside down. All the gangs and citizens are in a terrible situation.
"Is the 'vortex' really that powerful? That might not be the case.
"Aside from having the strange ability to change constantly, its true fighting strength might not be stronger than that of an Apocalyptic Beast.
"The problem is that our civilization is too old and fragile.
"Our civilization is built on the foundation of a massive population, and the morals of the Earth era require us to not give up on any individual. We must provide as many resources as possible to even the weakest individual.
"As a result, it's very easy for the enemy to find and attack our weaknesses. In other words, there are countless humans living in buildings that are denser than a beehive.
"And once the buildings are destroyed, countless people will be injured and buried. The remaining people will have no choice but to do everything they can to save them. As a result, a lot of resources will be wasted and the best opportunity will be missed.
"Look at the flames of war outside. The lair is in chaos. Today, the Vortex alone caused such a terrifying result.
"Tomorrow, if intelligent lifeforms from the Other World who are even more terrifying than monsters appear and use the same method to attack Dragon City, will you be so lucky that you can stop them?"
Meng Chao thought about it in silence.
Ever since he returned to the past, he had often asked himself this question.
At the end of the day, when Earthlings learned how to use fire, sharpen stones, and let out their first cry that was different from that of a wild beast when they faced the moon hundreds of thousands of years ago, humans no longer had any natural enemies on Earth.
Human civilization had developed under the condition that they had an absolute advantage and had no natural enemies.
Morals, law, and order were the privileges of the kings at the top of the food chain.
But they were surrounded by powerful enemies, the living environment was much harsher, and the speed at which they evolved and mutated caused the disparity between their members to grow larger. How long could the morals, law, and order of Earth last?
And if they continued to maintain the morals, law, and order of Earth, were the pros greater than the cons, or were the cons greater than the pros?
Meng Chao thought about this for hundreds of days and nights.
He still could not find an answer.
But it was clear that Su Lun believed that he had found the answer.
In fact, he had found some sort of "truth".
"Wake up, Meng Chao. Even though people keep saying that we want to spread the flames of Earth's civilization to all corners of the Other World, the truth is that from the moment Dragon City transmigrated, Earth's civilization has already crumbled and disappeared," Su Lun said.
"We can't go back. We can never return to Earth, and it's impossible for us to become Earthlings. We're the Other World's people, and we're a completely different form of humans compared to Earthlings. This is the truth, and it's a cruel truth that all of us have to face!
"The morals, law, order, and even the form of Earthlings from Earth are shackles and obstacles to us, who are brand new. We have to crush them and toss the shards behind us. Only then can we walk forward with our heads held high and head to a brand new destiny!
"Of course, I know very well just how difficult it is to crush the old and rotten laws and morals. It's impossible for us to do it on our own.
"That's why we need to bring in the power of the monster civilization to get rid of the things in our civilization that aren't suited to living in the Other World. I believe that once humans and monsters completely fuse together, our civilization will definitely rise from the ashes!"
Su Lun became excited as he spoke.
There was white foam at the corners of his mouth.
He was spitting bubbles like a crab.
When Meng Chao saw that Su Lun was clearly immersed in his own logical cycle and could not get out of it, he gave up on arguing with him. He thought about it for a while and said, "What you said sounds familiar. I have a friend called Gao Ye, and he said something similar. Do you know him?"
Meng Chao wanted to know whether the humans who were bewitched by the abnormal beasts were related to each other or even part of an organization.
"I don't know. Perhaps I know him."
Su Lun did not hide it and said generously, "I do have some like-minded friends. We believe that the rotten form of Earth's civilization isn't suitable for us to survive and develop in the Other World." Right now, Dragon City is monopolized and ruled by the nine great mega corporations. There are plenty of darkness and injustice in it, and it's a chronic problem that we can't solve with our own strength.
"We have to bring in the monster civilization and get rid of our civilization. Only then will Dragon City have hope to welcome a true tomorrow.
"But I don't know the names and true identities of my friends.
"Because we know very well that we have the bad reputation of being the monsters' puppets. For a long period of time, we are bound to be misunderstood and viewed as enemies by the people.
"The Survival Committee and Supernatural Tower are controlled by the nine great mega corporations, and they will do everything in their power to attack us.
"For safety's sake, we only contact each other through a single line. If we have to gather, we do it through an anonymous chat tool on the dark web.
"We talk freely on the dark web and exchange our thoughts to continuously perfect our theories. Of course, we also provide some help to each other as long as it's within our capabilities and we ensure that it's kept a secret. We exchange information, resources, help each other carry out missions, and other things, but no matter how we come into contact with each other, we always abide by one bottom line. Before the time is ripe, we absolutely do not try to figure out each other's identities."
This was the standard operation of a secret organization.
Meng Chao did not suspect that Su Lun was lying to him.
However, he thought about it and asked, "Even so, you're smart. You can guess the identities of your anonymous friends based on their words, the resources they need, the missions they carry out, and other aspects, right?"
"There are too many of them. They come from all walks of life and all sorts of people," Su Lun said.
Su Lun said. "I once asked a friend of mine to help me get rid of a gang leader who was obstructing my reformation in the lair. In the end, he did it cleanly. That gang leader died because his old injuries acted up, causing him to suffer from heart failure. No one could tell that there was anything wrong with it.
"I believe that he's definitely a top-class assassin.
"I also have a friend who provided me with great help when I set up the online coliseum business. You know, it's not easy to get online entertainment and payment licenses. They're practically monopolized by the livestreaming platforms under the mega corporations. The gangs are also discriminated against by the outside world, so it's practically impossible for us to get approved.
"I didn't have much hope in the beginning, so I just grumbled a little. In just a few days, all the complicated and complicated procedures were miraculously completed.
"Even now, I still don't know which friend helped me.
"But that person is definitely someone with power in the Survival Committee and Supernatural Tower. He's in charge of an important department and has a lot of power."
Meng Chao's skin crawled.
He did not expect that the monster civilization would infiltrate human civilization so deeply.
Red Brows Su Lun alone was enough to cause chaos in the lair.
If there were dozens or even more than one hundred people like him, it would be the greatest challenge Dragon City would face during the later stage of the Monster War.
"There are actually so many people who are willing to work for the villain?"
Meng Chao could not believe it. He mumbled, "If you're doing this for revenge and to stand out, why would a higher-up in the Survival Committee who is in charge of an important department betray his comrades and join the monster civilization?"
"Perhaps it's because the difference between human civilization and monster civilization isn't as great as you think. Besides, we're not working for the villain at all."
A mysterious smile appeared on Su Lun's face once again. It was a smile that made people want to punch him. Unhurriedly, he threw out the final bomb. "There's one thing I forgot to tell you.
"Based on what the Vortex said, the leader of the monster civilization was once a human!"
