Chapter 1600: Rules of the Game
“Even if that’s the case, what does it have to do with me?”
Meng Chao said, “I didn’t create the Azure Alliance.”
“But you laid the foundation for its birth.”
Shen Yuanbao said, “The reason why the Azure Alliance was able to create such a huge commotion in just a year was because of Lu Siya’s strategic planning, Lei Zongchao’s high prestige, and the wealth acc.u.mulated by the small and medium-sized enterprises. But more importantly, it was because of power.
“In this world, where the strong prey on the weak and the fittest survive, military power is the cornerstone of everything. Without military power, any organization is like a castle in the air. It doesn’t have any power and meaning in its existence.
“The Azure Alliance’s military power comes from two aspects.
“Firstly, more and more ordinary people have become low-level to mid-level superhumans, and more and more of these superhumans have become even more powerful.
“Secondly, the Red Dragon Army.
“Today, although the Red Dragon Army’s main source of soldiers is still ordinary people, their low-level to mid-level officers have already become superhumans. Among the mid-level to high-level officers, there are many experts who have broken through to the Heaven Realm and are close to the Deity Realm. Their overall combat strength has at least increased by five times compared to five years ago.
“It is under the protection of these two great military forces that the Azure Alliance has enough confidence to challenge the nine mega corporations that have two Deity Realm fighters!
…
“Coincidentally, these two weapons are all related to you.”
“Oh?” Meng Chao responded.
“Didn’t you create the three improved basic force execution methods in the beginning?”
Shen Yuanbao said, “There’s also the Ultimate Style. It can help broken-star superhumans repair their damaged spirit meridians and break through the ceiling. It can exchange their rich combat experience for powerful combat strength.
“It can also help ordinary people relax their muscles, refine their flesh, and increase their chances of awakening.
...
“With your help, many ordinary citizens of Dragon City have awakened their extraordinary strength in just a few years and reached an unimaginable level. Naturally, even greater ambitions are surging in their hearts.
“As for the Red Dragon Army’s transformation, the most crucial point is the explosion of the Red Radiance Jade lode under Raging Waves Mountain during the Battle of Raging Waves.
“If the explosion had been weaker or not at all, Universe Corporation and the Lu family’s Sky Pillar Corporation would have been able to share the Red Radiance Jade vein equally. In any case, the nine mega corporation would have been in control of the most important strategic resources.
“If the explosion had been more powerful, the Red Dragon Army would have suffered a much greater loss. Then, the Red Dragon Army would not have expanded to the extent that it had developed a purely defensive army with ambitions that it should not have.
“However, the explosion was neither too big nor too small. The spirit energy that had been stored underground for billions of years was released in the most favorable way for the human body to digest and absorb. A lot of middle-level and low-level superhumans, including those in the Red Dragon Army, were soaked in the rain and soaked in the rain. They were reborn and became the backbone of the Azure Alliance that was challenging the nine corporations today.
“And it was you, Meng Chao, and Lu Siya who manipulated the whole thing. Even Shen Yulong of the Shen family died at the bottom of Raging Waves Mountain Range.
“Don’t get me wrong. I have no intention of digging up the past. Compared to the future of Dragon City and the life and death of millions of people, the life of a mere blood descendant is not worth my trouble.
“However, if the Azure Alliance continues to expand like this and challenges the nine corporations from all fronts, and the Dragon City civilization is really caught in the flames of civil war and eventually destroyed, Meng Chao, will you regret what you did when you stood in the flames of Armageddon and watched the corpses of your compatriots turn into Smoke and Ashes?”
Meng Chao listened quietly. Only at this moment did he say calmly, “I understand. Senior Shen is blaming me for making the ordinary citizens too strong.
“In your opinion, the thousands and thousands of ordinary citizens of Dragon City shouldn’t have become strong at all, let alone awakened. They should maintain their ident.i.ty as ordinary people and their combat strength, which they can’t even defeat a nightmare beast. They can only rely on the protection of the peerless experts and can only look up to and worship the peerless experts. They can only obediently work as cattle and horses in the Super Enterprise founded by the peerless experts like you. They can only advance according to the path drawn by you and your descendants. They can neither question nor oppose it. This is the only way Dragon City can be ‘united as a city, striding forward with great strides.’ Isn’t that so?”
Meng Chao’s retort stunned Shen Yuanbao for a long time.
This peerless expert, who had fought for the family, the company, and of course, Dragon City all his life, and had never hesitated to face the claws and fangs of the apocalyptic beasts, was lost for a moment.
Obviously, he was also very conflicted in the face of the voices of millions of citizens and the ambitions that shouldn’t have appeared, as well as the current chaos between the Shen family and Universe Corporation.
He did not know how to deal with it, so as to ensure that the big ship of Dragon City would continue to ride the wind and break the waves. then the Shen family and Universe Corporation could continue to occupy the highest positions on this big ship.
“All the citizens of Dragon City can of course become stronger, but they should follow the rules of the game, step by step, and slowly become stronger.”
Shen Yuanbao made a hand gesture and said while thinking, “I always have a feeling that the speed at which the ordinary citizens of Dragon City have become stronger in the past few years is a little too fast, to an abnormal degree. It’s like, it’s like there’s some illogical factor that injected a super stimulant into the ordinary citizens, pushing everyone forward.”
Meng Chao’s heart jumped.
“Isn’t it good to become stronger too fast?”He asked.
“Not good.”
Shen Yuanbao replied, “The weak become stronger in an instant, just like how the poor become rich overnight. It will always bring all kinds of problems. Whether it is wealth or power, they are just like monsters. They can be tamed by humans and serve them obediently. However, if they are not careful, they will reveal their viciousness. They will open their b.l.o.o.d.y mouths and devour people, including their skin and bones.
“Believe me, Meng Chao, the waters are too deep. Ordinary people have no way of controlling the powerful forces that descend from the sky. They will only become the p.a.w.ns of a few ambitious people and lead the situation in the worst direction.”
Meng Chao could not help but laugh.
“Ordinary people can’t control it, but your nine great cultivation aristocratic families can?”
“In a sense, yes.”
Shen Yuanbao said, “The nine great super corporations and the nine great cultivation families spent decades before we learned how to control tyrannical power, enormous wealth, and supreme power. We paid a lot of blood to learn the rules of the game. Perhaps you think that the rules are unfair to ordinary people, but no matter how unfair the rules are, it’s better than no rules at all, isn’t it?”
