Chapter 1310: The Ever-Degenerating World

A revolutionary?

Meng Chao did not expect Jackal Ka.n.u.s to think the same thing as him.

His mind raced as he pretended to be confused and tentatively asked, Wolf King, do you think theres something wrong with the current Picturesque Orchid Lake?

Of course theres wrong, and I dont believe that you cant see it.

The Wolf King gave him a half-smile and an expression that said, I saw through you a long time ago. He pointed around and said, If you want to know the problem with Picturesque Orchid Lake, you just need to open your eyes wide and look at the Holy Mountain around us, and youll understand.

Reaper, let me ask you. Do you think that the Holy Mountain was naturally formed or artificially built?

About that

Meng Chao had thought about that question many times. There was no need for him to hide or lie, so he directly voiced out his guess. I think that its both.

The s.p.a.ce around the Holy Mountain is fragmented. It must have been affected by Starfall Citys descent into this world.

However, in the depths of the Holy Mountain, which was broken and unpredictable, there were a lot of s.p.a.ce channels that could jump quickly and connect to each other point-to-point. It must have been the work of the ancient Turan people.

The ancient Turan people who first came to this world used incredible technology to conquer the wrinkles, distortions, and gaps in the s.p.a.ce. Only then could they survive the hard times, reproduce, and continue their civilization to this day

Thats right. The technology that the ancient Turan used to conquer and transform the area around the Holy Mountain was truly marvelous and unbelievable.

The Wolf King sighed. Unfortunately, after thousands of years of reproduction and development, not only have we not carried our ancestors technology forward, we havent even inherited and continued it.

Until now, not to mention mastering the technology that our ancestors used to stabilize s.p.a.ce and transform the world, even understanding the principles of this technology and treating it as that rather than the wisdom of miracles, has been completely wiped out.

There are also Red-gold City, Black-corner City, and the former Hundred Blade City.

The glorious cities that have been standing on the land of Turan for almost ten thousand years were built and planned with a lot of technologies that the current Turan people have neither mastered nor understood.

With technologies that were comparable to miracles, our ancestors were able to shape the towering trees as they wished, allowing trees that were as hard as iron to grow into the pillars of skysc.r.a.pers. They were also able to build air pa.s.sageways between skysc.r.a.pers that could accommodate more than ten war elephants running side by side. There were also a lot of strange facilities. Even though they are intact to this day, we still dont understand the purpose of these facilities.

The population of Picturesque Orchid Lake today has to be thousands of times more than it was ten thousand years ago.

However, even if all the labor forces of Picturesque Orchid Lake were deployed, it would be impossible to rebuild Red-gold City or Black-corner City in the same way.

Hundred Blade City, which was barely rebuilt, is more than a hundred times weaker than it was in the beginning. Even the motley crew a.s.sembled by the rat people almost broke through it.

In fact, we cant even repair the city. Many skysc.r.a.pers that are hundreds of arms tall are slanted and about to collapse. The interconnected sewage pipes under many cities have been blocked for a long time, leading to the danger of flowing sewage and a series of explosions. Yet, we are helpless.

Theres also military technology.

Countless war epics that have been pa.s.sed down to this day describe in detail the way our ancestors fought ten thousand years ago. Many of the scenes depicted in the poems are complicated and extremely difficult to understand. Its as if our ancestors fought in a way that was a hundred times more advanced than ours. Their tactical cooperation, communication methods, and the creation of war machines were all beyond the imagination of todays Turan people.

Not to mention, just three thousand years ago, when they were fighting against the Holy Light Army on the summit of the Holy Mountain, the warriors of Turan were still able to drive such enormous totem armor through the gaps and folds of s.p.a.ce, repelling the attacks of the gigantic evil energy puppets time and time again.

Today, we have degenerated into barbarians who only know how to wave battle axes, hammers, and spiked clubs before charging at the enemy in a swarm while screaming crazily!

Yes, degenerated!

In the past ten thousand years, the entire Picturesque Orchid Lake has been slowly degenerating in every aspect.

Perhaps there isnt much of a problem between one or two cycles of the era of prosperity and era of glory, but after three or five cycles, people gradually get used to everything that is constantly degenerating, broken, and lost.

But today, when we look at everything that the ancestral spirits created ten thousand years ago, the feeling of such a huge difference is simply hopeless to the extreme!

The pa.s.sionate insight made Meng Chao feel a little respect for Jackal Ka.n.u.s.

He did not expect the ambitious Wolf King to have foreseen the fatal problem of Picturesque Orchid Lakes existence so early.

From the logic hidden in his words and the people of Earth, Jackal Ka.n.u.s was deeply influenced by that unknown Earth teacher.

The other party had not just taught him Dragon City martial arts.

He had taken great pains to guide the direction of the wolf dynastys civilization on Earth.

If Picturesque Orchid Lake does not carry out a complete and earth-shaking transformation, if it does not find the cause of the degeneration and solve it, and if it does not re-embark on the path of evolution, even if we gather the largest army in the last ten thousand years, it will be impossible for us to obtain the final victory. Instead, we will be utterly defeated or even destroyed!

Just as Meng Chao racked his brains over the ident.i.ty of this Earth teacher, the Wolf King dropped another bombsh.e.l.l with certainty. He stared at Meng Chao with a sincere expression. This is also the reason why I absolutely cannot let the Lion King and Tiger King obtain the inheritance of the Holy Mountain and become war priests.

To be honest, I dont have any personal grudges against the Lion King and Tiger King.

The Lion King did me a favor. It was he who took me out of the tomb raiders circle and helped me reach a higher level. He also gave me the most important opportunities and resources.

Although he only treated me as a puppet and received a generous reward from me, the deal between us was relatively fair and pleasant.

Without the Lion King, I wouldnt be where I am today.

Although I havent interacted with the Tiger King many times, I know that he is a warrior who has a rough personality but is brave and good at fighting. He is the most typical, traditional, and standard Turan orc. He is a hero who is qualified to engrave the name Violent Blade in a war epic and spread it for thousands of years.

From my personal point of view, I dont want to be their enemy at all, much less kill any of them with my own hands.

If only they were a little smarter, more open-minded, and able to see that the Turan civilization was deteriorating and that it was impossible for them to win the Battle of Glory. If they took the responsibility of change on their own, I would be willing to devote myself to them and a.s.sist them as their most loyal a.s.sistant or even lackey.

Its a pity because Ive tested them countless times.

Whether I was beating around the bush or pretending to talk nonsense while being drunk, Ive pointed out to the problems that exist in Picturesque Orchid Lake to them.

Not only did they turn a blind eye to it, they even became furious. They believed that I violated the sacred ancestral spirits and corrupted the Turan peoples virtues. They almost bit my throat and ripped my head off several times!

Hehe. Even the lion and tiger duo, who have the best chance of becoming war priests, are so pathetic. How could the stupider and more arrogant Minotaur and boar men understand that the Picturesque Orchid Lake today is in such a grave crisis?

Even if those idiots obtained the Holy Mountains inheritance, it would be impossible for them to unlock the true power contained in the ancestral spirits inheritance with their nonexistent wisdom. They would only waste the best and perhaps the last chance.

Since these seemingly superior and awe-inspiring ultimate powerhouses are all useless, I have no choice but to replace them!

Obtaining the Holy Mountains inheritance is just a trivial goal. What I really want to find in the depths of the Holy Mountain temple is an answerwhy did the Turan civilization degenerate from the unparalleled glory of crossing the sea of stars ten thousand years ago to the point where they are about to eat raw meat and drink blood today?

After I find the answer and have enough power, I will carry out a radical reform in Picturesque Orchid Lake to restore the glory of our ancestral spirits from ten thousand years ago.

Of course, my personal strength and Picturesque Orchid Lakes internal strength will certainly not be enough to complete such an arduous mission.

I need more good friends who share the same interests to help me.

Believe me, the Turan people are extremely cruel to their enemies, but they are extremely generous and friendly to their allies. We value hatred that is as big as a gra.s.s seed more than a mountain, and we value friends.h.i.+p that is as small as a puddle more than an ocean.

You are smarter than I thought. Reaper, a smart friend like you will definitely be able to discover and reap ample benefits from the drastic changes in Picturesque Orchid Lake.

I am also happy to see good friends who have gone through life and death with me. With these benefits, I will become stronger, and we will be able to continue fighting side by side against the common enemy, the Holy Light faction.

I know that even if I swear in the name of the ancestral spirits that I will never betray my friends, you will never believe me.

But I have already told you my ideals and aspirations. Reaper, think about it. Before the changes in Picturesque Orchid Lake are completed, before the Holy Light faction is defeated by us, before the most fertile land in the world falls into our hands, how can I fight against a powerful, smart, and dangerous friend like you?

Meng Chao knew that Jackal Ka.n.u.s words were not only for his own ears.

They were also for the huge forces from Dragon City that he represented.

An extraordinary person like Meng Chao, who was infinitely close to the Deity Realm, could not have been a genius who had jumped out of a crack in a rock and learned everything by himself.

Each of his moves contained an astronomical amount of resources and the acc.u.mulated painstaking efforts of thousands of the smartest brains in Dragon City.

Jackal Ka.n.u.s must have regarded him as an explorer sent by Dragon City to break through the fog.

If he was truly a pure explorer, he would not know the outcome of the Wolf Kings future defeat and destruction.

Seeing the Wolf King extend an olive branch with such sincerity and hearing him describe such a beautiful future with an Earthlings logic, how could he not be moved and firmly believe it?
