Meng Chao thought about it carefully.
Before he returned to the past, his greatest motivation to cultivate in high school was to live in a luxurious residential area like Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu and live in Dragon City No.1.
"Looks like you understand now," Lu Fanghui continued.
Lu Fanghui continued, "Back then, in the Crimson Heart Association, we found something very strange. Although countless citizens heard about the benefits of the Crimson Heart Association and flocked over, compared to ordinary citizens, there were very few experts who were willing to join us.
"Even when we went to our good friends who fought with us in the past and tried to move our hearts and reason with them, they still looked down on us.
"We used a long time to understand that there are only a handful of idealists in the world who don't seek fame and wealth. Most of the people are short-sighted realists who focus on material comforts.
"It's impossible for us to achieve anything by relying on a handful of people to fight alone.
"Meng Chao, ever since you started your career, everything you've done has shown that you're a true idealist, but no matter how good you are at fighting, how high your cultivation realm is, and even if you have three heads and six arms, can you really save Dragon City with your own strength?
"Most people might be moved by your spirit, but they are stimulated and tempted by fame and wealth.
"How to stir up these people's enthusiasm and bring out their potential so that they will be willing to fight for their home and civilization is a very profound field of study. It's not something that can be solved by singing boastfully and shouting slogans like 'the blood of the strong flows for the weak and superhumans are the sabers of human civilization'!"
Meng Chao sank into deep thought.
He had a vague feeling that there was something wrong with Lu Fanghui's logic, but for a period of time, he could not figure out what the problem was.
"Think about it, Meng Chao. You're good at everything, but you have one major problem. You come from a poor family, so you're too petty," Lu Fanghui said.
Lu Fanghui said, "Don't misunderstand. A hero doesn't come from a place of origin. I definitely won't discriminate against people from poor families, especially people like you who started from scratch and soared to the sky.
"But you and your kind, the people from the Broken Star Club, Blue Home, Battle God Palace, most of the people from the Red Dragon Army, and the politicians from the Home Party, are all the same. You like to focus on the details and use the morals of the normal people on Earth, which are no longer suitable for the times, to restrain the powerful fighters of the Other World so that they can bring out their greatest strength. But you'll never learn to stand at a higher level and think about problems from a greater perspective. You can't think about the future of our brand new civilization, which is completely different from Earth's civilization.
"Although I don't want to be so arbitrary, I still have to say that if you can't change your way of thinking, no matter how powerful you are, you will never be able to become a true powerhouse. You will never be able to carry out your ideals in the future new world!"
That was all Lu Fanghui had to say.
The jeep rumbled as if a steel beast had awakened from the darkness.
The high-grade crystals that normal superhumans were reluctant to use when they cultivated started reacting violently in the crystal engine that was polished by hand. They burned in a manner that was one hundred times more intense than a steel furnace, and they shone with a profound light that was formed by more than one hundred different colors.
The profound light tore through the rain and lightning and guided the jeep away.
Meng Chao frowned and watched the jeep's taillights gradually fade into the darkness.
He stood there for a long time before he strode away in the opposite direction of the jeep without turning his head back.
Meng Chao stepped on Fog God Mountain.
At that moment, the highest mountain in Hidden Fog God Region was enveloped by a storm and rolling lightning.
The lightning shattered the rocks in the mountain, and the continuous rain washed away the soil. It gathered together to form a raging mudslide in the intersecting mountain streams. It was as if more than one hundred aquatic dragons were baring their fangs and swooping down from above.
Even if Meng Chao expanded his five-star spirit energy magnetic field to the max and formed spirit energy ripples that were as thin as a cicada's wings around him to act as a "wave defense", he could still feel his heart beating like a drum when he faced the mudslide head-on.
Facing the direct impact of the mudslide, his heart was still beating like a drum, and he was drenched in cold sweat.
Besides, the mudslide also brought with it hundreds of tons of rocks and towering trees that were more than eight meters in diameter. They came crashing down on him.
He could only widen his eyes and use everything he had to capture the flow, flow speed, and direction of each mudslide. He also locked onto all the rocks and trees in the mudslide and turned all of this into profound and complicated data and formulas. Then, he instantly calculated the best path for him to move around in the mudslide and run.
He went against the flow of the mudslide and continued heading to the top.
Even if he had spirit energy protecting his body, his organs still ached from the rampaging waves.
His skin was gradually covered in fine wounds caused by etherealized plant branches that contained metal components and stone shards.
But the exhaustion and pain on his body gave his burning brain a precious respite.
No matter how violent, chaotic, or complicated the mudslide was, it was much simpler and clearer.
At the very least, it was much simpler and clearer than the future of Dragon City's civilization.
Meng Chao rushed to the mountainside in one breath.
Finally, he reached the spot where the mudslide was the most violent.
It was a platform that protruded outward like a cliff.
He could stop and rest for a while so that his burning spirit meridians would cool down a little. Then, he could climb to the top in one go.
Meng Chao noticed the signs of Lu Siya's cultivation here.
Three huge ravines that were more than five meters in diameter had appeared on the originally flat ground.
They were like the claws of an ancient beast that had left behind bone-deep gashes on God Fog Mountain.
Meng Chao knew that Lu Siya had used her vitality magnetic field to resonate with the planet's magnetic field to dig out a large number of rocks from underground. Then, she gathered them together to form rock snakes or rock dragons.
At first glance, it looked like there were really three aquatic dragons lurking underground who had heard Lu Siya's summons and rose from the ground.
The ravines led to the top of the mountain.
If he followed them, he could find Lu Siya.
Meng Chao was not in a hurry.
The scenery there was great. When he stood at the edge of the platform and looked into the distance, he could see the entire sinkhole.
He could also see the majestic sight of Red Dragon River and Tiger's Raging River crashing into each other, intersecting, splitting, and merging together.
He could see them even more clearly than the low mound where he and Long Feijun had just been drinking.
When he saw the two rivers fighting against each other, Meng Chao could not help but be a little absent-minded.
Red Dragon River and Tiger's Raging River were like two huge beasts that were at each other's throats. They wanted to eat the other in one bite, but neither of them could do anything to the other.
And their clashes and intersecting with each other created the terrain of Monster Mountain Range and the home of Dragon City's civilization.
Right now, the forces of power in Dragon City were just like Red Dragon River and Tiger's Raging River. Were they not working together and competing against each other?
Meng Chao had once thought that he could rely on the Deity Realm Conference to make the forces of power return to peace and become united.
But now, he realized that his thoughts were too simple.
Perhaps the forces of power could come to an agreement on the details, such as the ownership of the mines, the value of the purchase contracts, and the budget for certain projects.
But Long Feijun and Lu Fanghui were the pillars of power of two different forces of power, and they had clearly told Meng Chao that they would not give in when they faced different ideologies.
They wanted Dragon City to completely calm down.
It was just like how they wanted Red Dragon River and Tiger's Raging River to stop surging. How could that be possible?
Behind Red Dragon River and Tiger's Raging River was the rising and falling Monster Mountain Range. It was like an ancient beast lurking underground, and its spine was filled with swords and bones.
Meng Chao wondered whether it was just a figment of his imagination.
Or perhaps it was because of a mountain torrent.
Meng Chao felt like he saw the ancient beast's spine move a little.
This filled Meng Chao with unease.
He suddenly felt that he had overlooked something.
Right from the start, he and everyone else had been immersed in the glory of winning the Monster War and the competition for the legacy of the monster civilization, so they had overlooked a fatal problem.
It was like an insignificant grain of sand caught between their toes. In the beginning, no one treated it as anything important. In fact, they could not even sense its existence.
Only when they traveled through mountains and rivers, were exhausted, ran into more obstacles on their way, and their toes were rubbed to the point that blisters and ulcers appeared on their toes, did they notice the damage caused by the sand.
'Just … what did I overlook?'
Meng Chao habitually rubbed his temples and eyeballs, which contained Kindling.
In his field of vision, the golden Kindling turned into a row of shining notifications.
[Current progress of the Mystery of the Supernatural Entities is 99%. All the Supernatural Entities have appeared. The final answer is right in front of you.]
Over the past half a month, this row of notifications had flashed in front of his eyes multiple times.
It was as if it was urging him to complete the mission as soon as possible.
But Meng Chao was still confused by the final and most crucial 1%, and he did not know where to start.
'Since all the Supernatural Entities have appeared, why didn't you say that the puzzle hasn't been solved?
'And you said that the answer is right in front of you? Why can't I see any answer in front of me?!'
This matter was like a thorn in his heart, and it caused him to toss and turn restlessly. He could not sleep at night.
Meng Chao naturally did not want Dragon City's civilization to enter the Other World War, which was ten times more intense and grand than before, with this hidden danger.
But no matter how much he thought about it, he could not think of a way to solve the puzzle.
'Should I talk to Big Sis Ya and see whether the abnormal beast research department has the newest information?'
Meng Chao made his decision and continued going up the mountain.
The closer he got to the top, the more he could hear the sound of wind and thunder, which sounded like waves crashing against the shore.
No, it was something even more terrifying than wind, rain, thunder, and lightning. It was the sound of her vitality magnetic field grinding against the planet's magnetic field.
The marks left behind by Lu Siya's cultivation were everywhere.
A lot of rocks had been hollowed out, and there were holes and ravines left behind.
There were towering trees that had been snapped in half by stone dragons and stone snakes.
There were shattered stones that had been intentionally shattered before they shot out at supersonic speed and sank deep into the rocks and trees.
There was also dust that rose slowly due to spirit energy, and even the storm could not extinguish it.
It was a terrifying sight. It did not look like a normal cultivation session. It was as if one, no, eight fierce beasts had wreaked havoc in the area.
'Ever since she became a six-star superhuman, Big Sis Ya's fighting style has become even more brutal!' Meng Chao gasped in amazement.
