Fang Yun sighed and said, "Of course, the ancient demons would say that they are not like that. Of course, they would want to show their good side to outsiders. The internal strife of the ancient demons is no different from the internal strife of the Water Tribe."
"You are lying! The chief of our Gray Flood Dragon Tribe said that the ancient demons are good in everything. Many Dragons also said that the ancient demons are powerful and better than Dragons. Many saints of the Water Tribe also said that the Dragons are bad and the ancient demons are good. Are you saying that the higher-ups of the Water Tribe are lying to us? What is so good about the ancient demons? I don't believe it. "Flood Dragon Girl said.
Fang Yun was taken aback and was speechless.
At this moment, Fang Yun finally understood the root of the matter.
Flood Dragon Girl lived at the end of the Dragons' era. At that time, the powerful Dragons had either disappeared or died in battle. The Water Tribe had declined for hundreds of years and had long lost the glory of its heyday.
On the contrary, the ancient demons at that time rose up like a comet. They were at the peak of their power.
At that time, most of the higher-ups of the Water Tribe were scared of being beaten and bullied. They were like boneless fish.
The pessimism of the higher-ups naturally affected the middle class and then spread to the grassroots.
When this negative influence spread throughout the Water Tribe, the Water Tribe's power was gone. Even if there was hope of rising up, it was overthrown by the fear and envy of the ancient demons.
At the end of the Dragons' era, many Water Tribe members envied the power of the ancient demons. They contacted some ancient demon clans that were related to them.
At that time, the most famous one was the Poisonous Flood Dragon Tribe. They claimed to be the descendants of the ancient demons' Blood Flood Dragon Tribe. The entire tribe betrayed the Water Tribe and joined the ancient demons' camp. Later on, after the rise of the barbarian demons, the Poisonous Flood Dragon Tribe joined the barbarian demons and became known as the Tumbler of All Tribes.
Fang Yun sighed and said, "As far as I know, when the Water Tribe and the ancient demons were fighting, many other tribes and monsters joined hands to suppress the Water Tribe. The ancient demons were afraid of the monsters and monsters. They did lie to the Water Tribe and wanted to mend their relationship. During that period of time, the higher-ups of the Water Tribe were blinded by short-term benefits. They thought that the ancient demons could really help them. In order to resolve the hostility between the two tribes, they kept glorifying the ancient demons in the Water Tribe. Later on, the ancient demon discovered that although the ferocious creatures and the alien races were individually powerful, they were not a threat to the ancient demon as a whole. On the other hand, the aquatic race had already suffered a painful defeat. They began to conceal their strength and bide their time. They were determined to forge ahead and had the hope of rising again. Thus, the ancient demons immediately turned hostile and joined forces with the ferocious alien races to completely exterminate the Dragons. Many members of the Water Race have yet to realize this. They still think that the Water Race is useless and hopeless. They still think that the Ancient Demons represent the most powerful and civilized force in the world. This has caused the morale of the Water Race to collapse and the people's hearts to scatter. "
The flood dragon girl blinked and said, "I don't understand."
"Kneel!" Fang Yun suddenly flew into a rage. The Dragon Seal's might erupted, as if the Dragon Sage himself had arrived.
The Flood Dragon Girl was so scared that her body went limp and she lay on the ground. Then, a strange smell rose up from the water. She had actually lost control of her bladder.
"Spare me! Please spare my life! Your Majesty Star Long Jue, please spare my life! "Snake Girl kowtowed in fear.
Fang Yun let out a long sigh. The water current surged and lifted the Flood Dragon Girl.
"Do you understand now?"
"What?" The Flood Dragon Girl trembled in fear, not understanding what was going on.
"Why are you afraid of me? Why are you envious of the Ancient Demons? It's not that the Ancient Demons or I represent truth, civilization, justice, beauty, or kindness. It's that we represent great power. Only with great power can we protect our own interests, become richer, and obtain more resources in the world. The resources in the world might be endless, but the resources that each race can obtain are limited. Only with great power can we obtain more resources. Only with great power can we make you think that the Ancient Demon Race represents justice, civilization, and is better than you in every aspect. You only see these good things about them, but you never investigate why they're so good. "
"It must be because of power?" The Flood Dragon Girl asked.
Fang Yundao said, "If you understand the history of each race, you'll realize that at the beginning of life, each race only has one goal, which is to survive. And the basic goal of survival is to obtain food. Throughout history, when there's a lack of food, the population of any race is extremely small. However, once a race solves the food problem, the population will increase greatly. It's also because there's food that more people are freed to do things other than obtaining food. For example, making pottery, stone, and weapons, managing their own race, painting, singing, thinking, learning, educating … and so on. You'll realize that the things you can do after eating are far better than chasing wild beasts without clothes to cover your body and getting injured. It's far better than sweating and toiling on the land. It's far better than eating the corpses of your own race in order to survive. Therefore, you should know that the beauty of a human comes from having a strong ability to survive and an inexhaustible supply of food. Therefore, more beauty, more survival ability, comes from all kinds of resources similar to food. "
Fang Yundao paused for a moment and said slowly, "Food is the foundation of life, and resources are the foundation of a race's survival. Without enough power, how can a race continue to have those beautiful things? Back when the Dragons were at their peak, was your Gray Flood Dragon Tribe very miserable? "
The Flood Dragon Girl said shyly, "The Gray Flood Dragon Tribe's Old Flood Dragon often reminisces about the ancient times. At that time, the Gray Flood Dragon Tribe was living quite well. However, it was far from being comparable to the Ancient Demons. "
"It's very simple. You're not as strong as the Ancient Demons. Of course, there's also the progress of the times. When Confucius was still alive, the human race's power was at its peak. He and his disciples fought against an entire world with their power. However, through comparison, you'll realize that the ordinary people at that time weren't living as well as the ordinary people now. The reason why the human race is living better than before is due to the living Saints and officials of various countries. Most of the credit belongs to the accumulation of the human race and the hardworking people. The Saints of the human race only need to ensure the order and stability of the human race. With the power of time and development, with the talents of the past and the present, the human race can slowly live better lives. "Fang Yundao said.
"However, our Gray Flood Dragon Tribe's power is insufficient. We can never defeat the Ancient Demons. Why don't we just rely on the Ancient Demons? This way, at least we'll live better than now. "The Snake Girl said.
Fang Yundao couldn't help but laugh. He said, "There are too many races that surrendered to the Ancient Demons. If you're knowledgeable enough, you'll realize that one-third of the races that surrendered to the Ancient Demons were exterminated in the battle with the Dragons. Seventy percent of the races under the Ancient Demons were exterminated in the battle with the Barbarian Demons. Therefore, I have a question. Why would the Ancient Demons be kind, selfless, and help the Gray Flood Dragon Tribe without asking for anything in return? "
"Because they're good," the Flood Dragon Girl answered seriously.
"If they're really good, why would they still attack the Dragons? Why don't they just give all the resources and treasures to the Gray Flood Dragon Tribe so that the Gray Flood Dragon Tribe can become a peak race on par with the Ancient Demons, the Dragons, and the ferocious creatures? If they're really as good as you say, why would they snatch the properties of other races? Why would there be conflicts within the race? Why would there be laws to restrain and punish people of the same race? If they're so good, why would there be races that are discriminated against within the Ancient Demons? Why would there be races that have a hard life? Why would the Ancient Demons and the Aquatics fight for the resources of the myriad worlds? Why would they want to occupy more resources and wealth? If they're good, they won't fight for anything. Isn't it better to give it to you? "
