Meng Chao felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
He staggered back a few steps and looked at the Tree of Wisdom’s neural network in shock. In the semi-transparent illusion, it looked like a sea of fire was pouring down from the sky. It was the same scene as his nightmare.
“I know, you probably wouldn’t believe me easily. You think that this is just an absurd nightmare. How can you use a dream to guide reality?”
The girl smiled bitterly and said, “I can’t explain it to you, let alone prove it. However, this nightmare is really too… vivid. It’s like some kind of revelation.
“Moreover, even if I wake up, it still haunts my soul. It’s not like an ordinary dream that gradually fades with the passage of time. Instead, it becomes clearer and clearer.
“It’s as if there was an increasingly shrill voice urging me to change everything and stop the destruction of Dragon City.
“I really can’t be indifferent to such a real nightmare, just like I can’t watch a group of hideous villains waving their razors and walking toward a helpless little girl.”
Meng Chao took a deep breath. His canine teeth pierced into the tip of his tongue ferociously, and he used the stabbing pain to keep himself calm and clear-headed.
In disbelief, he asked in a hoarse voice, “Did you… Did you see the cause of Dragon City’s destruction?”
“I didn’t see it directly. How could the so-called ‘revelation’ be so straightforward and clear?”
The Tree of Wisdom said, “However, based on Peach Blossom Town’s history and Dragon City’s current situation, isn’t it easy to deduce the cause of the destruction?
“It is nothing more than the expansion of the mega corporations, especially after Dragon City’s civilization has completely defeated the monster civilization. There are no other means or forces that can counterbalance the ultimate experts who control absolute power.
“Therefore, the ultimate experts lost control one after another. They tore off their masks of ‘army ants’ and revealed the true colors of ‘fierce rats’. The conflict between them and the ordinary citizens became increasingly acute.
“Gradually, the strong and the weak evolved into two completely different species that hated each other, a malignant tumor that was parasitic on the civilization. The ultimate experts who desired to surpass human beings and become deities as well as supernatural entities swelled to the point that the entire civilization could not bear the burden.
“When the time comes, whether it is an invasion by foreign enemies or a mutual slaughter, it is possible that Dragon City will be completely destroyed, just like Peach Blossom Town and Earth in the past.
“At first, I hesitated on whether I should interfere or not with Dragon City’s development in my own way, or even completely revolutionize the social form and the distribution of resources in Dragon City.
“Since the mega corporations and the unparalleled experts have kidnapped the entire Dragon City and deceived most of the ordinary citizens with their flowery words. If I attack rashly, it is indeed very easy to accidentally hurt the innocent citizens, and even make the situation worse.
“In a word, innovation is going to bleed.
“This nightmare that appeared out of nowhere, like the arrival of the end of the world, has woken me up.
“If I do nothing because of my momentary benevolence, Dragon City is destined to be destroyed, and all the living beings will die.
“And any action of mine, no matter how radical, extreme, cruel, or inhumane, will kill millions or tens of millions of people. As long as I can reverse the future and save tens of millions of people, isn’t it worth it, or even necessary?
“In the worst case scenario, I fail and nothing can be changed. The nine mega corporations are still firmly in control of Dragon City as predicted in the nightmare. In the end, the end of the world will come, but there will be no loss. At least, I have tried my best.
“Now, you have understood everything. Join us and reverse the future together with us to save Dragon City, right, Meng Chao?
“Ah, your reaction is a bit unexpected. I can feel that you are more ‘shocked’ than ‘suspicious’. You don’t really doubt the arrival of the end of the world. It seems that you have also realized that the nine mega corporations and the peerless experts are not the saviors of Dragon City, but the chronic diseases that will destroy Dragon City.
“That’s right. Today’s Dragon City civilization seems to be blossoming with flowers and cooking oil with fire. It is on the road of prosperity and rapid progress. However, countless chronic diseases that originated from genes have been covered by temporary victories. If we don’t fundamentally innovate, the end of the world will come.
“It’s a pity that most of the people have been deceived by the mega corporations. They have been controlled and enslaved. Only when we join hands can we save Dragon City.
“For Dragon City, for the future, and for the civilization, we must do something!”
“Do what?”
More and more nerve bundles were wrapped around Meng Chao’s body, but he seemed to be unaware of them as he mumbled.
“Since the worst outcome has already been decided, no matter what kind of changes we make, there are only benefits and no disadvantages.”
The young girl formed from the Green Tide once again leaned over to Meng Chao’s ear and said in a low and firm voice, “We can reform Dragon City together and inject a brand new vitality into the decaying human civilization with the new monster civilization. Only in this way can we reverse the future, shatter the nightmare, and stop the destruction of Dragon City!”
With the girl’s voice, the apocalyptic flames in the neural network lit up and wreaked havoc again.
Countless dazzling light balls seemed to have exploded directly on Meng Chao’s retina and even his cerebral cortex. His mind was completely blank. He could not see or hear anything, and he could barely breathe or think.
“Damn it!”
Meng Chao realized that his spiritual defense line was gradually collapsing under the attack of the apocalyptic nightmare that he did not know if it was a coincidence or not.
The monster mastermind’s spiritual attack ability was obviously several levels higher than the Demonic Abyss Eye and Vortex.
He knew that the other party was up to no good.
But it was as if he had fallen into a pure white maze.
Not to mention finding a way out, he couldn’t even tell which was the wall and which was the passage.
At this moment…
Boom!
Boom boom boom!
The pure white maze suddenly shook violently and cracked into black cracks.
A voice echoed in Meng Chao’s mind. “Wake up, Meng Chao, wake up!”
It was Lu Siya’s voice!
Through the cracks on the pure white maze, Meng Chao saw that the Green Tide had formed. The girl who looked like Jin Qianxi quickly retreated and reintegrated into the Tree of Wisdom.
The Tree of Wisdom seemed to have been roasted by invisible flames. All its tentacles, branches, and vines were creaking and twitching violently. They were even curled into clusters of coke.
The world around it was splitting apart. Pieces of land were peeling off and collapsing, like a broken jigsaw puzzle.
“Sister Ya has succeeded!”
Meng Chao’s mind was racing, and he was ecstatic, “I told Sister Ya that I would attract the Tree of Wisdom’s attention. Sister Ya and the other members of the exploration team would be responsible for blowing up its main body. Now, it seems that even if they didn’t completely blow it up, at least they have seriously damaged the monster’s neural network!”
As the Tree of Wisdom retreated, Meng Chao’s mind became clearer, and his thoughts sharpened again.
The flaws in the Tree of Wisdom’s long speech just now were exposed like reefs after the tide receded.
“No, you’re lying!”
Meng Chao raised the Golden Tooth Blood Soul Saber with one hand and pointed it at the Tree of Wisdom’s core. “Just now, you said that you merged with Jin Qianxi not long after you fished her body out of the Red Dragon River and rescued the little girl, Gu Ling from Peach Blossom Town.
“That should have been decades ago. Why is the ‘Gu Ling’ that I saw still a naive little girl?
“Also, if Peach Blossom Town really exists and is thriving because of your construction, why can’t we observe it from the top of the sinkhole?
“Don’t tell me that Peach Blossom Town is located in a certain area of spatial folds that can not be observed and found by conventional methods. If that is the case, you can invite us into the otherworldly paradise openly instead of numbing our central nerves and cerebral cortex with hallucinogenic spores and making us hallucinate that we have fallen into the sinkhole so that we can enter the mysterious Peach Blossom Town.
“There is only one truth. Ancient spirit and Peach Blossom Town do not exist. Even if they did exist, they are definitely not what you want us to see.
“Why don’t you dare to let us see Peach Blossom Town’s real appearance?
“Is the city of light that you are talking about an illusory fantasy, or even a d*mn scam?”
The Tree of Wisdom was speechless.
Under the burning of the invisible flames, it seemed to be more and more twisted and in pain.
Meng Chao, on the other hand, discovered more loopholes through its pale shadow.
“More importantly, if half of your soul is Jin Qianxi’s, and that half is also influenced by her, and you’re willing to coexist peacefully with human beings and create the future together, you wouldn’t have to wait until now to resort to such extreme methods as ‘controlling an abnormal superbeast and overturning Dragon City from the inside out.’
“During the few years when the Tree of Wisdom and Jin Qianxi merged together, you could openly go to Dragon City to look for Battle God Lei Zongchao.
“At that time, the mega corporations in Dragon City were not as big as they are today. There was no gap between the peerless experts and the third-rate experts. Many new fields were still the stage for free competition. As a martial arts legend, Lei Zongchao had a high prestige and great influence. Jin wanhao, who was in the Lair, was also restless. He was not willing to just be an Underground Emperor.
“You must know that Jin Qianxi’s identity is Lei Zongchao’s undying lover and Jin Wanhao’s only sister.
“Although your life form has become completely different from the past, I believe that you have many ways to let Lei Zongchao and Jin Wanhao confirm your identity.
“In this way, Lei Zongchao, Jin Wanhao, and Jin Qianxi, who has mastered the monster neural network, such an ‘iron triangle’ can compete head-on with mega corporations, restrict each other, and form healthy competition to ensure the steady development of Dragon City, right?
“The real Jin Qianxi will definitely do this.
“She is not an innocent girl, but a survivor who crawled out of the pile of dead people in the Archean relics.
“Besides her amazing luck, she must have an extremely calm mind, excellent deduction, and judgment.
“Even I know the correct answer, so there is no reason for her not to know it.
“Since you chose the best time to do nothing, it can only mean that you are not Jin Qianxi at all, nor are you truly considering for Dragon City and the civilization of mankind!
“Perhaps you are right. Some of the mega corporations are indeed tumors that are parasitic on Dragon City’s civilization.
“But you watched the tumors swell day by day and turn from ‘benign’ to ‘malignant’ until the tumor was about to break. Only then did you slowly raise the rusty scalpel. How can anyone believe that you are trying to save them and not for another purpose.”
